I see next year they are reducing the amount of packs in a hobby box from 24 to 12, with a corresponding change in odds for Young Guns (instead of 1 in 4 packs, it's 1 in 2 packs). I'd be curious if they do the same in retail; if it was this year's set, the odds of pulling a certain Young Guns card (like Bedard) is technically the same in both hobby and retail but that may not be the case next year.
Here are a couple of links with more info:

There are also a lot of good (and bad) videos on Youtube, I can link to some if you're interested.
EDIT: I see you're in Ontario; just do a google search and you should be able to find something reasonably close by.
