Get ready to check the Target and Wal-Mart and Toys R Us stores next week!

No bonus boxes and blister packs with bonus stickers this time?

I called the topps Online Store around 1.00 PM EST and was told ANS8 will not be on the site untill next Tues or Wed. That's the latest. I will hit multiple Targets Monday. I will look for the Excell Boxes with the Yellow Tape and will exit with new wackies if they are there. It just may take a little finesse to get into those boxes as they sometimes arrive Monday and get packed out over the next few days.

I also look for the Excell Boxes. I will just use my keys as a "boxknife" to get through that yellow tape in search of new Wackys. I get odd looks from people sometimes, but it doesn't really make any difference to me.

When are people due to get their ANS8? I got a notification that UPS will be getting the boxes soon to ship but it doesn't give any more information than that. Apparently these are in some people's hands which really surprised me.

I've had a small pocket knife on my keyring for years - used it a lot back when I was really collecting action figures, and there'd be sealed boxes in the toy sections at TRU, Walmart and Target. For the Wackys at Target though, they are right across the aisle from customer service, so I generally just ask someone to come open the boxes for me.

AND Toys R Us ?

Do you know if TRU is going to have the regular boxes or just some special item that is found mainly at TRU ?

Still nothing on shipping notification. I will call blowoutcards on Monday to find out if they really have these to ship.

Who has ANS8 in hand? Are you referring to dealers? No one has posted that they have these in hand as of yet that I have seen. I will hit multiple Targets Monday. That worked very well for me with ANS7.

I got a notification from blowout cards with a UPS shipping number. When I goto UPS' website and look up the number it says they are waiting to receive the package. It also states that the package weighs 18 pounds. I do not know what is going on. Does blowout really have them or are they just anticipating them? I will call them to find out on Monday.

Last thing I heard (and this was yesterday) is that they have not arrived yet and were expected this week.

Keep your eyes open, ANS8 should arrive this week...

They're peeled, blood shot, watering and dried out from the heat.

Crust · « **Reply #231 on:** July 25, 2011, 09:28:09 AM »

I checked target two days ago and they did not have a coming soon sign of any kind at all. No erasers either, but i did find a pack of series 6 and got it for 99Cents. It had an insert i needed so the trip was not a waste.

ScaryLee · « **Reply #232 on:** July 25, 2011, 12:50:47 PM »

Well I just talked to blowout cards, it looks like they are shipping the 2 hobby cases to me today from Illinois, i should have them on Wednesday :-)

crackedjerk · « **Reply #233 on:** July 25, 2011, 12:59:40 PM »

I just received the weekly email my local comic shop sends out listing the new releases for the week. Sure enough, ANS8 is listed. I'll call tomorrow to confirm, but it does look like they're a go for this week.

DrDeal · « **Reply #234 on:** July 25, 2011, 02:25:28 PM »

I checked three Targets today. No excell shipments in evidence.
Time will tell.

ANS8 is still not listed in the Previews update for this week. But they could be wrong. They've been wrong before.

They are out. I found a gravity feed in the card section at Wal-Mart. Bought a few packs. I'd post a picture, but my iPhone is on the charger now. I only bought 2 packs. Here are the long awaited odds:

Pack to the Future: 1 in 3
Wacky Packages Goes to the Movies: 1 in 3
Magnets: 1 in 6
Flash Foil: 1 in 6
Motion Bag Tags: 1 in 6
Gold Flash Foil: 1 in 353
Sketch: 1 in 973

Well let the collecting begin! Well they did lower the sketch finding to 973 but to me thats still alot. The other odds are not that bad though.

I hope you're wrong! Nothing against the new titles, but I really like to see the original series represented in some fashion (esp magnets since they are my favorite).
