Forgot to ask... is the frog Count Croak-ula?
Wow, you're good! Here's another teaser for the set...

Hopefully other Monster cereals will be included in this set. Bring on Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy parodies!
Count me in on this Neil. You're the Best
I see what you did there... You can "count" me in as well. Looks "toad"ally cool.You got it Scot
You got it Scot
Wow, looks as though it's going to be "treat" not "trick" this Halloween. Can't wait!!

Yep, I'll probably need all of Sunday to recuperate but I'm sure it'll be worth it!
Everyone here will no doubt be pre-ordering the max of 3. Hopefully there will be enough produced since this is a short run. At least its only open to veteran forum members. No newbies can join just to scalp these on eBay!
Neil,
When do you think you will post pricing on these packs o' halloween fun?
$8.50 per pack (includes 1st class shipping to continental US). $16.00 per 2 pack purchase. $24.00 for a 3 pack purchase.
* Limited Edition of 100 sets
* Wacky Forum Exclusive Release (members must have signed up prior to June 1, 2015).
* 3 collector cards
* 1 bonus card
* Extra "Surprise" cards
* 1 hand-drawn sketch card (b/w or color)
* Souvenir Wrapper
* Sale Date Begins: Saturday at Midnight (Eastern Time), October 3, 2015.
* Ship Date: October 24, 2015.
Neil,I like this idea Joe, maybe Neil can have a 1 set sale per member for the first day or two. Neil will definitely have a sellout any way he does it.
This is extremely cool but it would be a shame if only 33 forum members get sets (assuming each orders 3). Any way to set aside a single set for each order initially and then go back and fill multiple orders based on how many sets are left?

Will it be offered on the Topps site or not?
I think Joe was kidding about the servers going down. And yes, this will be a paypal sale.

Neil, is there a per-item cost determined as yet? Just so everyone is prepared....
Thx.
Hi Marc, the pricing for the Halloween sets got buried in an earlier post, so here's a refresher for everyone: 1 set is $8.50, 2 sets are $16 and 3 sets are $24. Prices include shipping via 1st class mail.
Neil,
Can you explain how the purchase process will work? Are you supposed to reply to a new thread that starts at midnight, send you PM with our order, or something else?
Thanks
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is the pre-sale starting Friday night at Midnight - October 3? For some reason I'm thinking the pre-sale starts Saturday night at midnight, but that would be October 4.
NOT a dumb question! To clarify, the sale is this SATURDAY NIGHT at MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME). By the way, you're right: It is technically the 4th. But I'm sticking with the 3rd, since that's the day leading up to the midnight sale. And besides, it might get even more confusing if I were to change it now :) ...
Hi Craig,
Good question! Sometimes, I forget that people can't read my mind ;) .
Here it is in a nutshell:
1) Forum members send me your request in a PM (Sale starts Saturday, Oct. 3 at Midnight (Eastern Time).
2) I will reply with a confirmation message with payment instructions.
3) Packs ship out (October 24 or earlier)!

Just to clarify, if someone "jumps the gun" and orders at 11:58 pm (say), that won't qualify as an order at midnight....am I right? It will need to be 12:00 am or later?
Hello,just wandering when you said midnight eastern time,means west coast 9:00pm? central 11:00pm? we don't want to miss out. ty :D

Yes, let's not drive Neil insane even before the sale starts :-\
I agree. Neil deserves a standing ovation for this effort. Its not everyday that an artist will offer up a "low profit/ large effort/ labor of love" type release exclusively to forum members; during a year when Topps opts not to release anything to commemorate Halloween.
Neil Saved Halloween 2015.
Thank you very much! Andrew

Absolutely - THANKS NEIL!! You are the Santa Claus of Halloween!
Now, I must come up with an idiot-proof way to make sure I am awake at midnight.......... Last time I tried to stay up for something special, I set the alarm clock wrong :P
Thank you for all your hard work and efforts to save Halloween!
I am fading out with only 1 hour & 11 minutes to go
I feel a Rankin/Bass, stop-animation, Halloween special coming on. ;)
Will we crash the server if we all PM Neil in exactly 10 minutes?!you should hold off a few minutes then.... >:D
Well alright Pat, you made it!!!
Let the fun begin!!!Thanks for the fun Neil!
Thanks for the fun Neil!same here, Thanks for the midnight madness Halloween fun! :great:

Thank you Neil and Good Night! Sweet Wacky Pack dreams to all.........
I'm too keyed up to sleep now! I've missed this!
Just curious - my timestamp for this site says 9:xx rather than 12:xx right now, like it's set in some other time zone. What's the deal with that?

Better now? I added 3 hours to the time offset in your profile.
I tried to find a way to do that myself in my profile preferences but didn't see the option to change time zones.Obviously, Pat already did it, but you can do it yourself in "Modify Profile" > "Look and Layout". It is on that screen.

This is SO much better than ordering from Topps!So is poking one's self in the eye.

True, that is a low bar. But Neil did an AWESOME job with this Halloween special offer!
Thanks all! I'm really happy to see so many of you showed up to join in the Halloween fun!!! Next time I do a Midnight Sale, I may refer to Hawaiian time. That way, it would be daylight for most of us. I'm pooped! Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and will start shipping sets in a couple of weeks! Let the Halloween season begin...
One thing I like about the midnight sales is that I pretty much NEVER have a conflict that will keep me from being able to be online. I actually slept a little late this morning which I suspect is because of the Wacky fun during the night, so the Saturday/Sunday timeframe worked out well for me.
You know the funny thing is I figured I would have no problem staying up for a set because I was needing to be up until 11:00pm tending to my smoker (smoking a pork butt for a family gathering today at noon) and as soon as I stoked the wood chips the last time I crashed! lol.....guess I was more tired then I thought.
Anyway. should have a good lunch today! LOL
Sorry to say that I missed the midnight sale. Didn't wake until 3 am. Anybody with an extra for sale please PM me.
Next time I do a Midnight Sale, I may refer to Hawaiian time. That way, it would be daylight for most of us.Yikes! I don't think that's daylight for anybody. That would be 5 AM for me.
Yikes! I don't think that's daylight for anybody. That would be 5 AM for me.
maybe go the other direction, midnight in London
:P
Rob, I had you beat by a couple of seconds.
Less than 2 weeks away...mwahahahaa!!!
Check your mailboxes! I got my Halloween Packs in today's mail!Thanks Neil...they look awesome!!
Very cool set. Here is my haul from three packs: (No names so as not to spoil anything).
H1, H2 , H3 , B1 (3 of each)
P1 (2) W15 (1)
C1, C2, C3 (1 of each)
Sketch's for H1, H2 ,H3 (All B&W)
3 COA's: Sets 16, 17, 18
Is there a P2 or P3? Looking to trade if there are.
Regards, Andrew
Halloween's been saved!! Thanks muchly, Neil!
What's W15?
Its the Unofficial Wacky Packages Day Dorkin Donuts Card (Previously distributed so no spoiling happening here)
My pack:
H1,H2,H3,B1,P1,C2
and two sketch cards (both B&W). Did anyone else get more than one sketch in a pack? Is the extra a "surprise"...or was my pack mis-packed? lol
Yep, it's true. A few packs have 2 sketches randomly inserted. Also, I threw in a few Monster sketches for the not-so-faint-of-heart (and a few of the Dorkin Donuts promos from last June's Wacky Day)!
(http://s1.postimg.org/6a562ka7f/M10_Sketch_AB_Ncamera_L.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/6a562ka7f/)
These are the kinds of sketches I dream about!!! If only I could get cards with these images....Now That's A Set I would pay through the teeth for!!! Neil, THANKS for saving Halloween, John saved it last year with the postcard/sketches.(I know you had a hand in it)..I cant believe Topps drops the ball every year.
Greed sank the Wacky Halloween boat!! Going from 29.99 to 59.99.....no wonder packs sat on the shelf for months afterwards. 3 of Neils sketches for $24 +,+ and + that's sub-basement prices.
Neil For President 2016 !!!
I will make available two packs with everything other than the sketch card. This includes wrapper, COA, H1, H2, H3, P1, B1, and then either C1 or C3. Fair offer gets one or both.
Marc
Marc, you are suck a sketch hoar. LOL ;D

Neil got the goodies in the mail some days ago, but waited closer to Hallow's Eve to open them.....FANTASTIC! You really put some thought into these and I know myself as well as other wacky fans are most appreciative. The sketches are AWESOME (w/the gray watercolor!) and you put a lot of work into all that I have seen (unlike some sketch cards by others in other sets that will go unmentioned!)
OK, two questions:
is there a B2 or B3? If so I have an extra B1 to trade.
Is the WP15 clearly labeled as such? If so I have an extra P1 to trade.
Happy Halloween everyone,
David
No B2 or B3.
Neil put some W15 cards in random packs - that's the Officially Unofficial National Wacky Packages Day Dorkin Donuts card from June.
I'm hoping that if we do this again, next year's bonus card will be B2...and the following year B3 and so on...
No difference. I just thought I'd throw a few random cards in for fun. Speaking of which, did anyone get one of the Halloween Monster sketch cards I put in packs?
I haven't had time to get to the post office this week to pick up my Halloween pak!!!! It wasn't there when I went last Friday - darn West Coast location!

My contribution to the Halloween Season... Wacky style. Not part of any 'official' Pack-O-Fun, but still fun.
