...then why couldn't Topps make Wacky Christmas Postcards for the Christmas season?

Because Halloween is non-denominational and Christmas isn't.

Ahem....Because there is already too much to keep up with.

Damn straight. I take a 2 year siesta from the hobby (but never fully disconnected thanks to the eternal Wacky optimism of Zenergizer) and, man, do I have a ton of catching up to do! Hence my pestering for master lists, which have been incredibly useful. But woe is me for trying to track down all the promo's, too.

Some stick-in-the-mud would complain. I wonder if there would be complaints about having the day off from work.

Who could complain when you get a paper holiday ornament in every issue? ;)

Will there be Halloween postcards this year? They're absolutely my favorite Wacky item at the moment!

After some discussion with Topps, we decided to put them on haitus this year...

Neil, Sorry to hear the disappointing news. I think I can safely say that for many of us, this has become the yearly Wacky highlight, due, in no small part, to your talents and efforts. Thanks for letting us know. Will just make me look forward to the 2015 Halloween release that much more.

Sad news, but I will just concentrate on the new Old School series. I will miss the monster themed stuff...it makes me smile extra wide each year. Maybe when it returns, the series will just be one release and not the limited and regular releases. Two different versions are just a bit too much. Topps comes off as money grubbers with releases like that.

Aw man, I was really looking forward to this year's set!  I'd much rather have the Halloween set than another ANS or OS offering, but hopefully they'll be back next year.

WOW! - Just WOW!

Like many of you have stated I REALLY looked forward to the Monster Themed Cards.

Neil, Thanks for the communications.

I would also rather have seen a Halloween Release and slow down the OS% and 2014 Series 1 release....... too much too quick and then eliminate a staple in the WP culture?  Just scratching my head.......  :-\

Just last week I fixed up the Postcard Master List to be ready for the new Halloween set.  I am so disappointed I can't even describe it.

I think Topps just finished shoving me out the door. If it weren't for Old School 5 I would be done with all new Wackies.   :051bye:

With all the sadness/ dismay and shock surrounding this revelation; maybe Topps can reconsider and produce a

Holiday - Halloween - Monster Postcard set.

What?!?!? Nothing Topps does these days makes sense. This is the set everyone crams the forum for to grab some spooky midnight madness fun. Just because it didn't sell out last year? Maybe they just made too many sets... This is a total bummer, as it became part of our Halloween experience I eagerly looked forward to. Boo to Topps...

I agree - I think they got greedy by printing too many sets and too many variations.

Wacky Halloween on hiatus?         Now there's news to deflate us!

Don't want to be a bah humbug, considering the excellent new Old School series just released (haven't purchased any yet, due to financial constraints), but Halloween PC's are at the top of my list of priorities, more than any other series, and I've been looking forward to them all summer.

Don't worry, there's plenty of Wacky stuff in the pipeline to keep collectors happy...

The WP comics also seemed to have trickled off. I noticed in the latest Previews catalog there will be a Garbage Pail Kids monthly comic with exclusive promo cards!

Here is my 2010 Neil Camera Halloween Sketch Card.  Done prior to Halloween Postcard sets and sent to Forum Members as a gift. I was fortunate to get one.  I thought I would share as we the approach the usual ordering time period for the Halloween Post Card sets. Too bad they are.........

I think the first I heard was an SDCC announcement. http://www.wackypackagesforum.com/index.php?topic=3576.0
I wonder if any Wacky items will get snuck in as Easter Eggs

and it's now in Previews, like you mention
