So basically the advantage of a pre-order is to get free shipping? Doesn't Topps still offer free shipping?

I've got 20 plastics cards and 50 aliases i would like to put the Topps rules to the test

It's noon tomorrow until noon Saturday. I just cut and pasted what I was sent.
The boxes are a little more money this go around so that is actually a discounted price.

Is there a wax wrapper included with the binder?

Not much info on the odds in packs for the chase items. I am just getting 3 boxes and a binder this go around.
-
new Yellow binder for postcards is up as well.

odd that 9-to-Life was used on the cover again.

I got mine. Although for the first time, I was charged shipping. I've contacted support to straighten this out. Anyone else have this problem?
-
They're up!
Got my 3 boxes. The All-Stars thing should be interesting...
-
I emailed Topps and they have already sorted it out and given me a refund. Whatever minor complaints I have from time to time, their customer service dept is top notch.
-
Dave, thanks for all that you do! This promises to be another
great set, and is that a Now or Later parody I see on the box?
And thanks to all those at Topps as well!
-
I ordered 5 boxes and did not get charged any shipping. It appears that Topps has made about 2000 boxes available on the pre-sell this time around. I believe that they made 1000 available in the past so these pre-sell boxes should not sell out. I hope that Topps is not releasing more than 5000 boxes of OLDS4. Anyway, I am pretty excited. Every old school and postcard release has gotten better and I am expecting the same from Old School 4. See you in January!
-
So, if I'm reading this correctly, I can buy 5 today and another 5 tomorrow?
-
Do we have a list of the sketch artist's yet?

2 boxes and a halloween binder all for the low low price of.................. 119.85

Order placed for 2 boxes and the binder. I want my wax wrapper with the OS4 binder........... Thanks for another cool release.

Just ordered up my five boxes of Old School 4 fun.
-
5 and a binder
-
Another 5 are gone. 8)
-
and another 5 by me.
I'll leave the binder for another time. like Black Friday.
I love how that pre-sell page has AM times throughout. hopefully someone can tell them it should state Noon before it causes an issue.

I didn't order an Old School 4 binder because there was no mention of a wax wrapper. Instead, I ordered an extra Halloween binder while I was over the free shipping threshold. I like that one a lot.
-
Just pre-ordered 1 OS4 box.
It should arrive in time for the New Year's Eve/New Year's Day time period if we are lucky (even with Dick Clark, who had counted down to the new year from 1973 to 2012 is counting down to 2013 in the great Times Square in the sky!)

It still shows the AM times. I was thinking of ordering another 5 boxes during the second pre-sell 'day', but am unclear whether that started at midnight or doesn't start until noon today. Don't want last night's order to get cancelled for breaking the rules, so I guess I'll wait until tonight.
-
Ignore the AM times. It's what I posted.
-
Dave,
Thanks for another cool release. Can you please provide insight into why there is no wax wrapper included with OS Binder #4?
This is a departure from the last three OS binders so I will have to include a regular wrapper in my binder for continuity. Is there a new
rule at Topps that there will be no extras in binders? Please advise, DrDeal

I'm still trying to remember what movie this is from

My understanding of the rules is that a single buyer/credit card can only order 5 boxes total during the first 48 hours of the sale. The last 24 hours are unlimited.

really? Sure sounded like 5 max first 24 hours and another 5 max the second 24 hours and then unlimited until the end of the pre-sale.

I stand corrected. I misread/misunderstood it.

Why is the shipping date December 28? I thought Dave had said we wouldn't have the pre-sale until these were ready to go.

I have a theory or a HUNCH (get it...a nod to Joe Simko's recent character creation!) that Wacky Packs Old School 4 is going to be released tomorrow, Wednesday November 28th. I think that is a typo above where it says December 28th, just as the AM instead of PM that Topps posted earllier is a typo. David originally said they wouldn't be offering the pre-sell until the wackies were completed and ready to ship....plus the most recent issue of Non-Sport Magazine says that Old School 4 is being released in NOVEMBER, not December. Stay tuned and we'll find out soon enough!

and to go along with your crazy conspiracy theory, look what popped on the ShopTopps website today in the banner ad.
This was either supposed to be out there last week during the actual pre-sale or somebody messed up today - as it is now gone from the site.

Theyre website sucks balls they are retarded how they lay out their products and make it difficult for te consumer. Very frustrating that you need a forum to sort out their marketing. How can a nationally distribution company put together such a shitty main hub?!!! Their quality on their product is A+, packaging and art A+... why the F wouldn't you do the same for the web?!!

If you're referring to Topps site I agree. It needs an overhaul.

You shouldn't hold back so much.......just say what you feel man. ha ha
I heard that Topps was totally revamping their website and I expect it would be an improvement. When I heard it it wasn't too far away, so I wouldn't be surprised if maybe towards the 1st of the year.

Topps using dog years to measure progress. so one year means it will be done in 7 years.
-
I agree with Ernie...Topps, lawyers & Microsoft have deadline procrasti2fuknbadfoffia. It's tart to have a release, or court date and change it because it behoovs you...or how about making a product that isnt able to work with your own friggin sister product like Ms Works and Ms Word?!
-
Why not have the shit ready...then release it...eh, instead SELL me a beta (Me & Vista), let the consumer work out the bugs, spend countless hours trying to rationalize why a Viagra ad came onto his screen while his daughter was looking up wacky packs because she misspelled packs, then release an antivirus to ward off the infections allowed in by your subpar products holes! XD wtf?!
-
I digress. If I were the #1 national distribution company for the United States of Americ for baseball wacky packages and gpk since the 60s I would KNOW how to reach my customers easily! Seems too rediculous to say one fin website is hard to revamp when you use to have to reach numerous states countys towns dealers

haha, maybe, but we'll see. I have never had much too complain about their website, but it could use some improvements for sure. Apparently they must have been getting complaints, or I doubt they would put the time and money into it to revamp it.

My major complaint about the current website is that it is possible, in same cases, to get directed to older versions of some pages where newer items do not show up. Also, strictly from an iPad point of view, some of the drop down elements are buggy and others simply non functional. Not sure if this is a function of the website itself or more of a Safari/iPad O.S. issue, however. Looks forward to seeing what they come up with in the ALL NEW SERIES.

Hi David!
Yes ... I'm mostly just passing through but this sure brings back a lot of memories. I will probably hang around for awhile and read up on whats going on. This lets me say "Hi" to Neil, Mark, David, Ernie, and anyone else who is here. Maybe I should start a thread. :^)

Well I was wrong with my last "prediction" but since David said everything is going on or above schedule and that we might "have these in our hands" before Christmas my new theory is that the OS4 pre-sells will start to ship as well as be available online this coming Tuesday, December 18th.
Best, Fats

I noticed OS4 started selling online today, but when do the pre-orders ship?
