No promises, but I'll try to get some extras for the forum faithful. By the way, here's a better image of the design I made:


SORRY, BELATED SPOILER ALERT!!!


 



Thank you very much for any help you can offer in obtaining things like this for the faithful Forum members.  I will be the first to admit that I am not on here too often but that doesn't represent any negative feelings for the Forum.  Just that I don't have the time to check in on here all of the time.  I don't know how you or any of the other artists that are on here are able to work on all of the sketch card, card art, etc. AND still check in on here.  Thanks for all your hard work year round trying to keep up Wacky people happy!

How apropos that Old School would self-parody - why should we be limited to Wormy packages after all?  Too funny.

I'm not sure how I have time to be on here, either ;) ! By the way, thanks for the kind words! It means a lot coming from a true Wacky fan!

Well, gotta go and sketch some more...

Thank you for the kind words.  I truly believe that those of on here that ACTUALLY collect the limited edition postcards (Regular, like 9 or 10, & HALLOWEEN Postcards).  I would really love a regular card size of the main titles in the L.E. sets that could be broken down and randomly feed and add them during the packaging process.  Treat the card like the Artist's Bio Cards are okay, but they get kind of boring to me release after release.

Maybe Neil Camera could make a suggestion to do them and have different scenarios that they are going through (i.e. - Wolfman getting a pedicure, Vampire working at a blood bank, Frankenstein going to a "Pick 'n Pull" automobile part, and MANY, MANY, MANY, more!!!)

Just a thought for Neil Camera

Did the Topps booth at New York Comic Con also feature a few sneak peeks of a potential ANS10 Wacky Packages release for early 2013 tentative date?

I was able to pick up some extras of these at the NYCC.  I'm happy to make my extras available to forum members. While I realize I can't control this, I'd prefer to send these to people who want them for their collection rather than to flip on ebay.  Let me know if you're interested. I should add, trades are welcome!  // Wow, lots of responses!  I think once the dust settles all my extras will be called for.  If that's not the case, I'll let everyone know. 
are they all the comic con version? Apparently some non-sport versions were handed out as well according to one eBay auction....

Yep, that's an idea we really want to do for a future set. Just haven't found the right place for them yet! Maybe someday soon?!

Were these handed out as a loose card? or were they inside something else?

The only ones I saw (and picked up) were the New York Comic Con version.  Although I was only there briefly on Friday. Very interesting to see that auction -- and that explanation.

They were handed out as a loose card.  A stack sat on the top of the counter they had set up for their merchandise.  I took several and got a jaundiced look....

If OS4 is now set for January 2013 release, will there be a pre order sale for it on Halloween or Thanksgiving?

Is there going to be another delay thanks to the recent wrath of SUPERSTORM SANDY on the East Coast/Northeastern States? Topps is headquartered in Dureya, PA.

I thought Topps' headquarters were in NYC?  I think the Dureya PA location is a production facility.

Topps HQ is in lower Manhattan's financial district. They were shut down this week due to flooding and power outages.

Don't know if there will be a delay or not. Topps can't even open until at least next Thursday. Maybe later.

It was never scheduled for January. End of November is the release date (if no delay). There will be a pre-order and I'll keep you informed on that when I get the info. This time around the pre-order is right before the main release date as it will already be printed and ready not the other way around.

I'd rather see it released in late January, after the Christmas spending season is over.
