At $10 a pop (and plenty that I wouldn't buy for half that amount), I buy these very sparingly.  But for the third or fourth time only, I purchased one today.  Love the Way-out Packages!  Well done to Neil and whomever else worked on this one.  I really appreciate the nods to classic Wackys.

Snagged a 500th Anniversary parody as well.   Great stuff, and nice to get in on this one WAY ahead of time.   :D

Topps should start a 50th Anniversary Daily Wacky Segment. That would be retro and cool and would sell alot!

I picked up extras if anyone missed the 24 hour window.  IMO, it would be a shame to miss out on this one!

It is so very well done, timely (500th during the 50th year), and has the Melty Way alien, and maybe important to a lot of us, no political slant.  I also particularly enjoy Wackys that parody Wackys  :P

Very well said. It could be a step in the right direction.

I disagree - it's not the power of Topps, it is the appeal of an excellent Wacky, with a good gag, wonderful, well executed art, and references to Wacky history.

Could the Daily Wackies be causing Topps to do less with other types of Wacky releases? Things have been very quiet. I sense they feel they have Wackies "covered" by putting out the daily cards on a regular basis.

I'm not feeling that at all. It's only been a few months since the 50th release, and that was after 2 years of silence beyond the prior set. Gpk's have had far more online cards for far longer and they're still pumping out 2 sets a year, no slow down at all.
We know we've got stuff coming out in the near future, eventually. Dave has said he's done some more work on OLDS 6 and Smokin' Joe just posted that he's gagging on new Wacky work right now.
There's stuff coming, it just takes time. The onlines are the appetizers between the main courses.

new cards today. At least 3.
The bundle lists 5 cards, but only 4 are on display. Spews #90 is missing. Bundle picture indicates it's a Wacky, too....

update:  5th card (Nutsifya) finally posted over an hour later....

No Tapes Trump - Im
The Wolf of Vine Street - Camera
McDelayed’s Sloth Pounder - Im/concept Scheres
Nutsifya Coconut Cholesterol - Im/concept Scheres

cool. What's the news story behind that?

Looks like an Im, as is the Trump card.
And probably Neil for the Wolf of Vine Street.

McDonalds switched to fresh meat , not frozen. Customers  are complaining about having to wait to stuff their faces. http://www.refinery29.com/2017/06/160111/mcdonalds-fresh-beef-burgers-wait-time

I'm really trying to submit, and get approved more non political stuff. I have three more coming, all No politics.

"Fresh meat" (that takes 60 seconds longer to cook than frozen) has "busy" people's panties in a wad?!



I guess that qualifies as a first world problem . . .

"Sloth Pounder"


Missing seeds aside, the bun is a little too perfect - though not at all bad.  (More of a television advertisement bun, rather than something I would actually receive at the drive-thru window.)
 
The sloth, itself, though, is very nicely rendered!



Note:  Besides the thin borders breaking with tradition, they are also so thin that they almost act like, or want to be, comic outlines.  Case in point, the title above.  One almost expects the thin border to completely surround the burger, and it looks kind of odd on the far right hand side where the bun continues, but the border doesn't.

I think you are correct. What I really need is Wacky Chrome II with more 9 Altered Art/ Mixed-Up Character cards.  I like a nice challenge!

Chad,

   Nice work and congrats on getting your first day in the sun!  Now can someone please do a New Transformers Movie or Cars 3 Movie Wacky. Those would be very cool and would sell.

I've never seen Twin Peaks, so I don't get the gag at all.  Don't get the other two, either.  Perhaps I am just getting too old and/or out of touch   :sad:

Congrats on breaking the submission barrier with Topps!

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! 

Now, if you just go out and celebrate tonight at McDonalds, buy a Happy Meal, savor the flavor, and say, "Boy, oh, boy!  This burger is dee-licious!" that would be two milestones in one day!  (Or maybe this singular experience should be saved for the other Chad, known simply as Mr. C.?)

the Peaks card is based off the newest episode last week. More of an homage than a gag, maybe?

I had to do some google-fu to find the ikea / grape "bowl of death" story (link below).
The color dyed pit hair has been around, and I'm not sure what triggered a resurface?
