Sad news. I know Neil put lots and time and funds into this project.  Many thanks to Neil for his past offerings and for trying again this year.

I have sent Neil a private message.  Publicly I am as sad as the rest of you and hope that he can resolve whatever obstacles stopped it from happening going forward.

Neil has been a HUGE Supporter for us and I know in my heart whatever it is it was beyond his control.

This is NO trick. Something happened. Neil removed the entire other thread! If I find out topps is behind this, I'm calling for a massive Boycott!!  (just speculation) but if topps is really behind this, how can anyone support that??  Prepare to tighten the wallet, yet again!

PMed Neil, yet still waiting for a response.

Please, somebody say this is all a "cruel" joke and not the result of some petty, childish bullshit.

Is this carryover of the bickering on some title that Neil has rights to?

I would have no issues completely boycotting any and all Topps releases if they are behind this.

I truly, with all my heart, hope not.  This could have a domino effect and spell the end for many other artists, as well, in addition to commemorative show cards - thereby leaving us with only the fare we have been served the past couple of years.

Let's try to remain positive - I HOPE it is an issue where the printer could not make the deadline.

IF this is the case, I do not care if I get his AWESOME set AFTER Halloween!

Neil has been sooooo good to the WPs and I will wait for his awesomenesss if this is the case!

The way I figure it, this stinks of something beginning with C and ending with D-something I thought Wackys didn't have to deal with anymore.

I think there is a huge difference between cancelled and postponed. Neil did not say postponed and the removal of the starter thread speaks volumes. Neil may not want to speak about this, Neil may not be able to speak about this.

I said I wanted to puke before, now I want to puke and cry.

Neil, I will support you in ANY way I can!

If this were the case, why delete a whole thread and not simply explain this to everyone?  My money says it was not simply a printing issue.

Well this is certainly disappointing, Dave did mention he was going to talk to someone at Topps about this. I get the feeling whatever he said squashed the release.

I remember last year at about this same time Topps shut down a bunch of stuff. Mark Pingatore's Halloween set was one of them.  But I think he offered it later after Halloween???

I agree with the above post. We probably won't get more info. Let's appreciate what Neil has done for our hobby and hope for the best. Halloween just got a little darker. Sad day.

This is a very sad day.  If Topps is the cause, which seems likely, how can we protest?  Boycott Old School 6, which we have been eagerly anticipating?  If we do that, not only will we miss out on that set, but Topps will likely decline to consider future Wacky releases because of low sales.  That hurts all of us, including the artists who work on Wacky projects for Topps.

Whatever the reason for the cancellation it's obviously beyond your control and I can only surmise as to the reasons behind it but, I have and always will support the artists regardless of my feelings for past decisions made by Topps execs... thanks again Neil for your hard work and dedication to all of us !

Very sorry to hear, Neil, dang it!  I'm sure you're as disappointed as all of us, but it is what it is.

(Note:  "dang it" is not really a Boston expression, we're usually much more vocal LOL)

Let's all remember to continue to support Wackies!  We've got a great new Old School set
coming soon, and perhaps a few new mini-subsets from Topps before the year's end as well!

I didn't actually plan to purchase this Halloween set.. But if that was the case then I would definitely not be buying OLDS6.

Neil,

I have already sent my private message buy publicly as well I want to speak up and, I think I do, speak for many here in our great Forum:

- YOU ROCK!

- Topps has continued to dwindle and let down the WP community and YOU have been the Beacon on the hill

- They have previously sold out on THEIR Halloween stuff and yet fail to deliver in future years (Their fault not yours)

- You and other artists have been very generous and kind with your efforts and time to help me and others whom adore your art

- I understand you may not be able to share what happened but most of us are realistic and it smells of collusion (LOL!!!)


The bottom line is I and each of us in our family of WP Forum Members truly appreciate you, your efforts and ALL you have done for our craft, and I missed seeing you in Allentown in April BTW!

Hopefully whatever ailed this release can be worked through and is worth the wait, even if in June 2018!  If not, it shall be remembered as the Lost Halloween Series.

Take Care Neil and AGAIN THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU TRULY DO!!!

Yes, I feel the same exact way, Jim.  It's an extremely bitter and difficult pill to swallow.

Despite my age and cynicism, I had always liked to think that there was a loose fraternity of Wacky "players" - painters, concept artists, and executives - that supported and encouraged one another through mutual respect, creativity, humor, and trust - all united and working toward one common goal: to make people smile.  This objective is not even that farfetched or difficult.  In fact, it's simple.  After all, this is the basis of Wackys, the very bedrock upon which they have stood for fifty years.  And yet...  And yet, even in Wackyland, we still find that it's dog eat dog, and rat eat rat.

This is not only a blow to Neil.  This is not only a blow to fans and collectors.  It's a blow to Wackys overall and everything they have stood for.  You know, you get this kind of shit going on inside the castle and inevitably the entire fortress is going to become insecure and collapse in upon itself.  Somewhere, somebody wasn't thinking too clearly.  As with any great endeavor, one must strew seeds of excitement and creativity in every possible direction, not simply tear stuff up by the roots.

...sorry I had to. Seriously, though, I can see the anger behind this. I, as one, was wanting to see all of the images and gags in the set. Too bad it couldn't have gone through. Let's give the people something to protest about...

And f*** the ever-living fabric out of the youtube forum link. Doesn't work.
