ANS8 Retail Tracking Thread
« on: July 11, 2011, 01:56:51 PM »
ANS8 will arrive soon according to other posts. I stopped by a Target store today and saw nothing mentioned in the "coming soon" flyers posted.  They did have some ANS7 for sale.

I bet we won't see them until some time in August, or even later

my nearby Target had Coming Soon flyers for stuff that came out back in June. They just don't update those things like they should at that place.

I thought they would be shipped next week or 2 weeks from now!

The ship date is 7/27 and I bet that's pretty accurate.  That doesn't mean the retail stores will have them then though.  Pre-orders may be in-hand the first week of August.  That's what I'm hoping for!

I just ordered through DACards. They list the 25th as the expected release date. There are so much coming out that it's getting tough to keep up. Hopefully there will be a few weeks between the next release. I can wait...LOL

It appears as if Topps is planning on releasing the details prior to the release of the series.  Were around 2 weeks from the ship date and we still don't know the odds.  I emailed Topps CS twice asking when any info would be available and I got no response.

I asked the comic store owner to get me two boxes.  Other than that, I'm not ordering anything until I know the details.

On EBAY I saw someone selling "ad sheets" after looking at the sheets it said nothing about sketch cards, does anyone have any concrete information as to if there will be sketch cards with this set?

There will definitely be sketch cards, it's just a question of how many and at what pack odds.  They show some of the sketches in the NSU issue.

I called ShopTopps today and spoke to someone regarding when they expect to have ANS8 available in the online Topps store. This Friday the 22nd was the reply. I was told that they think 7-27 is when most OLD's will start getting their stock but they expect to have 24 Pack boxes available in the on-line store sometime Friday. I lobbied hard for a Free Shipping with purchase of 3 Boxes deal and was told they don't do that on wide release items but would consider the request. I expect these will hit Target Monday so I probably will not order them from the site if I have to pay full price plus shipping.

I was told that they think 7-27 is when most OLD's will start getting their stock but they expect to have 48 Pack boxes available in the on-line store sometime Friday.

I thought it was 24 PACK boxes...not 48 pack?? is that what they said??

You are purchasing a New in factory sealed retail package - 1 - WACKY PACKAGES SERIES 8 HOBBY BOX!!!!!  24 Packs per box, 8 stickers per pack!  75 new stickers to collect!!!  Each pack contains 6 hilarious stickers, 1 parallel sticker, 1 special insert.

This is a Pre-Sale! The estimated release date is July 25, 2011! All orders will ship on the date of release!

You are correct. 24 pack boxes. I was thinking of Gravity Feeds but they said they will have regular boxes on the site. I edited my post to correct it.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does "OLD's" stand for?

My Wal-Mart in OKC, Oklahoma has them.  My iPhone is charging now (I took a picture) but I bought a few packs.  See the spoiler thread for the insert odds.

usually just the code number on the packs and box.
with wackys, usually there is a folded up mini advertising poster in the hobby box that's not in the retail box.
I know with some other non-sport releases, there are actually different chase or bonus cards in the hobby box. nothing like that with wacky though

Ditto, i am pissed. I saw that ANS 8 sketch, and i bolted for the nearest Wal-Mart 2:40AM last night and NOTHING! Why is Topps so secret about this? They make it easy for assholes to get these early, but we have to suffer!

Found a gravity feed at a Target in town tonight.  Didn't see any bonus boxes or anything else.  For what it's worth, I was at a different Walmart yesterday and it had nothing.

Stopped by our new Target (just opened this week) and they had no Wackys.  I work in another city about 20 miles from where I live.  I will check there tomorrow.

Made a special trip today to Walmart, Target, Five Below and Toys R Us. No ANS 8 here in S. Jersey yet.

An e-bay seller from Michigan has em, but none in S. NJ. Aren't they shipped from N.Y.? NJ is closer to NY than Michigan!
