ANS 9

[Hustler08]

The pre-order cut-off with the dealer orders was yesterday.  I was so sick during the week I almost missed it but I got my order in yesterday.  I have the equivalent of @ 64 boxes coming in......44 Retail, 16 Blaster (bonus) boxes, and 4 Fat-packs.  I also ordered Blister boxes but I heard Topps cancelled them so I'm not expecting that one to go through.     The release date is scheduled for 07/25/12.

What dealer do you get your blaster boxes and Fat-packs from?? what's the going price for a new ans9 hobby box?? i have no idea? isd there a hobby and retail box for ans9 that you know of??

I've been buying from Sports Images that past couple of series.  There is a hobby and retail box for ANS9, but the hobby box is like $10.00 more, and with ANS8 the only difference was a poster!  I wasn't able to confirm what is in the hobby boxes that weren't in the retail ones, so I didn't order any hobby boxes.

I wonder what the color of the ans 9 box will be, So far we have had red, yellow, orange, green, pink, 2 shades of blue, and purple. Which 1 would you like to see next.

[Pupsi-Cola]

Sounds like a good choice IMO.

If everything is on track were looking at about a month and a half until ans9 is released!

June 25, 2012 - 1 month until the actual target date of July 25, 2012 for the ANS9 release!

[Zenergizer]

and I can almost guarantee when the info and pre-orders will be released....

I'm away for a week in the middle of July (I'll be in Philly!), and every time I go away, THAT'S
when Topps decides to have a midnight pre-order special!  AAARRGGH!

So mark your calendars...the week of July 15-22!

A special Topps online pre-order thing for OS4 and ANS9 together??

[Zenergizer]

with my incredible (i.e. bad for me) timing, that would
be very fitting! **

(** disclaimer:  I don't know anything about any release date,
obviously)

[dth1971]

We are now in the month of July 2012 with about 3 and a 1/2 weeks to go before the ANS9 release target date of July 25, 2012!

Will the San Diego Comic-Con show some ANS9 entries we haven't seen yet a few weeks before ANS9 gets released?

Topps does not have a booth at Comic Con this year - so most likely 'no'.

[crackedjerk]

I was at my local comic shop today and asked what the expected date for ANS9 is.  I was told Wed Aug 1st.  Makes sense as that is a day, Wednesday, that comic shops put out their new stuff.  A tad later than we had originally heard, but I would think it's pretty accurate at this point.

[Joe G.]

With Topps not having a booth at Comic Con and none in the new issue of Non-Sports Update, it looks like there won't be an ANS 9 promo.

I thought Topps was going to be at the San Diego Comic-Con to plug the Mars Attacks Heritage series!

indirectly.
there are 9 Mars Attacks promo cards being given out at 9 different booths - all belonging to tie-in merchandise - that form together to make a 9 card mosaic that will look great in a binder.

That's nice!  If it was in NYC, I might even have been persuaded to brave the crowds to go collect those.

My friend gets new books in his comic store every Wed. So I'm hoping that he will get the boxes on either Jul 18th, 25th, or Aug 1st.

It could be this week and not next week the ANS9 boxes ship to comic stores! One week earlier than prediciment or something like that...

I'm just trying to catch my breath with both Cereal Killers and Mars Attacks. I can wait a few weeks. I haven't sorted out one of the sets yet. I'm too busy dealing with sketch cards. I'm a total sketch whore..LOL

There is a little something for everyone in this hobby.

[dth1971]
