I got two packs from a local shop of Disney's Lorcana tcg, and I dunno if this counts as a hot take: but it's another case of Disney being too hyped up.
It was $11 a pack, and not to say the cards aren't good quality in terms of art and all; a foil Lilo was my favorite card of the bunch, and here are some of the other cards I enjoyed seeing most out of my pulls. But hard for me to recommend the product at this price point for casual fans.
It hasn't been released in big stores yet (planned for Sept. 1st), so maybe whether they mean anything beyond rarer cards and foils will come in due time - but coming from the world of knowing Pokemon (usually $4-5 packs), Lorcana seems like it's pushing in a Magic the Gathering direction as a more premium gaming experience as it is. [I don't know that game's gameplay, so forgive me if it's an error in comparison].
