1 run. All art coupons will be evenly distributed.

If you got an art coupon would it be inside a poster pack or placed separate inside the box?

I guess i will be shipping the posters up to Anders,anyone interested in the 2nd box will ship tomorrow!!

My guess is there are 24 pieces of original art. Topps had the original 1973-1974 wacky posters repainted to fit the dimensions of poster size or some other reason and I have a feeling that all of these 2012 wacky posters are new artwork repainted as well (not just the three new titles).

I really don't believe so, I think there's just the 3 new pieces and that's it. they shouldn't need new art with this set, as the poster dimensions appear to be picked to match the existing art.

The UPS guy just pounded on the door ( Woke me up from a nap ) & the posters were at the front door along with an artists book to hold them. COOL, everything came at once. Opened up the 1st pack , #2 Plunder Bread. OK back to opening some more.

So I sold my 22 out of 24 posters partial set plus two doubles and the box and empty packs on the bay for $38.00. Whoever purchased it can try to trade for the two he didn't get. Right now it looks like Mr Turbo has the only full sets for sale. $107 seems a bit steep. He is benifitting from the tempoary out of stock sign up now on the Topps site. After factoring in my costs and sale price I have $82 into getting a full set of posters, the three promo cards , and 6 dupe posters. I think I made out alright. I really like the Moose Attacks, Panthers and Frite Loops posters.

what worries me is that the 'bonus' cards are called Promo cards - which might mean that topps could be handing out sets for free at the upcoming New York Comic Con and Philly shows in October. wouldn't that be fun?

BumChex · « **Reply #154 on:** September 10, 2012, 04:56:59 PM »

What I just noticed is Zilla Waifers has another cards image faint around the border. Anyone else notice this?

I think "promo" in this case means created to promote the sales of the posters. I doubt they would hand them out. If they ever did that with the mini postcards created to make us buy regular postcard sets that would create a disruption in the Wacky Universe. I trust they will not push us too far.

So maybe it is time for some actual spoilers in this thread. How 'bout some images of the three new titles? And I assume the assumption was correct that the art on these is identical to the ANS counterpart sticker?

Oh - And if anyone has an extra Coca-Cobra available, I am interested.

It certainly does... its a faint image of the WEIGHTIES title... poster #21 Check the text visable at the bottom right corner... "little man"

Those look familiar

If others are selling the promos for $80 I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't care about them as I have the posters with the same image.

WTF? Doesn't Topps have any quality control over such a small run of 24 posters? Unreal!

I was on the fence about buying the posters but I like the 3 new titles. And I love that they are also made into cards.

DrDeal · « **Reply #164 on:** September 11, 2012, 03:28:03 PM »

That ghost image thing on Zilla is bizarre. Anyone have a good way to flatten the posters? I have tried a few things but they still need to be flatter.

nope, unless someone finds a clean version of this posters, it's just a topps screw up.

Playbug · « **Reply #166 on:** September 11, 2012, 06:59:25 PM »

That kinda sucks cuz Zilla is my #1 reason for buying. Maybe I'll get a screwed up one with a nice clean white boarder.

I do like Panthers and Wiggly, just don't care for Killson at all.

It's different, though.... The glove looks like a bear claw, maybe purposely?

Same here. Love the Panther, and the detailed snakes on Wriggling is incredible! However, Killson doesn't really seem Wacky to me. Too dark/disturbing how the kid is begging for his life... Now why that one bothers me, but something like Cram, with the kid's teeth flying out doesn't, I don't know. Maybe because Cram is so over the top.

They should have shown the father attacking the kid with the glove in the middle - like Bid Baddy - love those little pictures...truely Wacky!!!

Anyone want the unopened poster box before it hits Ebay 44.00 shipped 5 or 6 bucks savings Topps will be at least 50.00 for 1 box shipped

BumChex · « **Reply #173 on:** September 13, 2012, 10:07:36 PM »

Based on eBay sales and the trade participation thread. I can see many aren't buying the posters. it is obviously a fail for Topps. If my bonus cards don't sell on eBay I won't offer them again because not too many will have a set. I have a hunch these posters may end up as rare as the originals.

FourRoses · « **Reply #174 on:** September 14, 2012, 06:09:26 AM »

While there may be a genuine disinterest in these posters I think much of the fence sitting or lack of buying stems from the saturation we've seen from Wacky Packages in the past year.
