Fed Ex tracking now updated showing I am scheduled to receive my binders tomorrow.


So I sold my second set of Binders 5 - 8 for $120 shipped. I sold the first set for $130 plus shipping and offered the buyer the same price for the second set. He told me he ordered the binders from Topps.

So it looks like binders alone will net about $30 each. I see a few sets languishing on ebay for $149.99 so I think we may have found the resale price but they may go lower. Time will tell. Hoping for a color sketch. I will be selling my second set of puzzles and hope to get around $140 - $160 on them so I can break even on my second set.

Bought the first set of 4 but just can't seem to motivate myself to buy 5 through 8. 

$260 for 4 binders and a few exclusives - just too much for me.

I haven't seen the new set of binders in person but from the small pics I have seen they might be better than the first 4. I know its expensive but not as expensive as they will be when you want a set of binders down the road.

Has anyone received a shipping notification or even an indication from your Topps account that the binders were shipped yesterday?  My Topps account still show these as processing...
I received the shipping notice for my series 9 postcards one week *after* the postcards themselves had arrived at my door!

If anyone gets their binders on Wednesday, let us know about the 'free gift' that Koduck had reported on in the first post!

I got my binders yesterday - the free gift is a random sketch card, like what they sent out with $100 orders when they were selling the April Fool's Day comics for "Wacky Packages Day."

I like this one (it's #161):

Got mine yesterday, but opening them will have to wait, I'm off to Atlanta for the week.

The sketches look nice, though!

I just received my Series 5-8 binders this morning. When I opened the box, I found the four binders, but no puzzles. The binders were neatly wrapped in brown paper and my invoice was in between the two binder packages. Are the puzzles shipped separately? When I received the Series 1-4 binders, the puzzles were inside their respective binders. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I recieved one of the WP day sketches and one of the WP Comics sketches. I was very happy to get those cards. I had received one of the WP Day sketches with the comics but now have one example of each card. I am selling off my second WP day sketch card.

My puzzles (both times) were in a sealed brown cardboard envelope, NOT inside the individual binders.

Yeah, I realized after I posted that that's how mine came in my first binder order (in the sealed brown cardboard envelope)

I've already contacted Topps to see what I need to do.

The good news for you is the binders are not sold out so they can replace your puzzles. When I received a PC 9 LE set with just postcards and no other items all they could do was refund my payment as they were sold out.
I am confident you will be made whole here.  Its pretty rough to open a box and not get puzzles/ sketches when everyone else is. I feel for you. Hopefully you will get a color sketch in the replacement shipment  :)

Hopefully they won't require you to ship back the binders - I had to pay to ship back some Old School boxes that were missing the envelopes.

According to Topps, they are going to send out the "missing parts" today ~ no mention of having to send the received binders back (phew!). My biggest concern was that I would have to send the binders back and have the binders sell out during the shipping interim and be totally out of luck!

You could purchase a new set now, and return the incomplete item for a refund if that did become an issue.

I had considered that, too. At this point, I'm going to see if Topps comes through with my puzzles. I've had good experiences with their customer service in the past so I'm going to see how this plays out!

Good to see depictions of Wacky products that haven't been featured too much/endlessly on other sketches!
Like the details on Contac and Emptimo! Thanks Neil...

Matt's combo drawings for volume #3 were some of my favorite sketches from the first set of binders.
And he now he's added color sketches? Yippeeee....

I got my binders last night, I figured I would wait till today to open them & I don't have puzzle pieces, sketch cards or bonus either. It figures, thats my luck so I called Topps & they are at a company event so noone to talk to, wrote an email, no response. now i guess I will sit & wait !!!!

wow. totally forgot to look for the 'gifts' in my binders. Went and checked the big envelope, and there were the small ones still inside.

got 2 PC 7 sketches. Easily 2 of the best sketches I've pulled from all sets! Loving the Neil color, and Fred's has amazing tonal shading that is somewhat lost in the scan.

and also just noticed one of my 6th series puzzles is screwed up - I got 2 Upper Lefts and no Upper Middle.

anyone got my missing piece with the Wacky logo? we could trade. if not, off to Topps to try and correct this.

Very nice!!  Twister's Choice ended up in PC8.  I'm stumped on identifying the color sketch - methinks further edits will be needed for the master list.............

That stinks about the messed up puzzle pieces.  Did you at least avoid dupes on the puzzle sketch cards this time?

Maybe, but if so, what postcard title does it go with?  From what I've seen, postcard sketches have generally involved postcard titles, even when Original Series characters are worked in.  The bottle top could be Killing Croc from PC6, but the worm seems out of place.  Maybe a pulled tequila title was involved?  PC7 sketches from the "funpacks" such as yielded this sketch have involved several titles now where the Wacky didn't make the PC7 set (Twister's Choice, Corn Flames and Clubbed).  Perhaps this is a fourth pulled/postponed title?
