Getting only 2 unique Ludlows in 4 packs is ridiculous.

I FINALLY received a shipping notice for the Week 1 cards at 3AM this morning.

I got my shipping notice around midnight.  Then I got another, so I have a feeling my Week 2 sets will arrive with the rest of my Week 1 sets.

My week 2 shipping label was created last night as well. Now waiting for topps to actually give the package to fedex. Probably late tonight. If like last time, I should have on Sat or Sun

I got a generic shipping notice from USPS with Topps account number at 11:13 this morning.  If it works like last time, I'll get another one from Topps sometime tomorrow.

So now there is a 50% chance of getting a Wonky or one of a new series of inserts in each pack but completing sets of alternate backs are far more difficult??

Yeah, that's what it looks like.  A 50/50 chance of scoring either a Wonky or a Guest Artist card. Can't help but wondering about my luck if I purchase two packs.

That's what it sounds like.  And, they're renumbering the Wonkys from WP1 again??  There are already two different WP1 cards..........  Really, if they are going to make drastic changes like this, I wish they would just nix the luds.

So just purchased two packs of week 5. Time will tell if they give us both chase cards when buying two packs.

Great news!!! It's cool that you're guaranteed a unique 6th parody with each set! I'd be OK with either the Wonky or Guest Artist each week by just buying one.

Anyone know why certain card images in the product gallery are pixelated, and some are not?

There will now be GUEST ARTIST cards every Wacky Packages release week? Most of them at their first Wacky Pack attempts?

Actually  the back of the Guest Artist cards will have a q&a about us and Wackys.

Gladly! You can always mail it, or if you're at the Philly show this October, I'll be there.

Thanks Robert! I’ll contact you when I get the card and will most likely have to mail it off to you. This is such a great idea to get an extra Wacky card each week.

Can I please ask for fellow forum members to post decent scans (or phone photos) of the coupon backs, Wonkys and Guest Artist cards as they get them in hand? What some of us can't afford to complete, it would be nice to have a decent visual reference of. eBay usually turns up good images in auctions, but there isn't anyone selling individual cards yet. Topps site shows just one of the coupon backs each week, and they are pixelating some of the gallery images. I know many of us here would appreciate it! Thanks!

Robert is being too kind.  The individual flavors and packs down near the guy's feet,
and having the bottom of the guy be a dispenser are all his great ideas, a true team effort!

I’d been working updates slowly, but I think it’s mostly ready to go now.
Need to add missing images of coupons and whatnot as the cards arrive, and start working on June too.

I must have gotten lucky last time with a mistake,  as this latest package is not labeled Home Delivery, so I won’t receive it until Monday, (otherwise it would have been here Saturday)

He could probably sell 10 of them at $25. They would sell for $45 or $40 right now also.

Can one of the artists who knows about the Guest Artists cards comment about whether they will change the insert ratio/ production of the Wonky's once they start the Guest Artist cards with week number five? They state either a Wonky or a Guest Artist card will be the second chase card in each pack. They do not state the odds of getting a Wonky. This impacts whether you purchase 2 packs / 5 packs etc. in hopes of scoring both a Wonky and a Guest Artist chase card.  Please advise. 

Thanks,  Andrew
