I got June wk 4 and July wk 1 today, moved up to 10 sets of each. Almost perfect collation, just missing one Ludlow!

From the ridiculous to the sublime, sheesh...

Hoping this is the new normal. I have also been ordering 10 packs since 2nd week of June. I received my June/week4 and July/week1 orders today. For both, I received 5 packs with a Wonky and coupon and 5 packs with a Guest artist card and ludlow. For both series there was a complete ludlow and coupon set.

Not yet, and they were doing so well catching back up for the past few weeks too.

That's exactly what I was thinking.  Thought maybe it was just my order that was in limbo.

no, although I got my shipment with the Fred Wheaton GA cards, along with Jon Gregory's,
so I think I may be as caught up as anyone else.

Which week?  I don't remember seeing that when I ordered July week 4.

Looks like July week 4. Wasn’t there on Wednesday, when we first ordered. Just went up today? Maybe we’ll be seeing something different for August or maybe there will be something included with July week 4. You can see it on the Topps website now under July week 4...

My guess is this is the heads up that there will not be a Wacky set this week, as it’s Week 5 of July.
Wacky sets are 4 weeks long, and this is the ‘filler’ for the extra week.
Then back to our normal programming starting August 5.

Good call on that. Really would have been easier to just have it as one continuous set, instead of resetting the card numbers each month....

Very true..
And I still can’t even get my sets yet. Borders closed until at least end of August. I’m guessing it will go on longer...

Since the monster is behind "Peter Prank," perhaps Topps is playing a prank on us buyers, and they have something lined up to add to the set IF we buy the same set again next week.  Surely they wouldn't do that!  Oh wait, they've already pranked us into buying 10 sets of the same thing every week...   (Sigh, and like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football from Lucy, I fall for it every week to get those extra cards. Good grief!)

I’ve said this before, but I wish Topps would drop the charade and just offer a master set (1 of each guest, wonky, ludlow, and coupon and maybe 3 sets of base cards) for $150 each week. Many of us would go for that and would cut down the tremendous amount of shipping waste in purchasing 10 packs. I’ve got enough card holders, boxes and bubble wrap to start my own store.

So you're saying those who spend $150 weekly would get all 5 Luds, all 5 coupons, 1 wonky, 1 GA and 3 base sets? What would the rest of us get who only spend $15 a week and are on a limited budget?

I suggested early on that we have a contest for building sculptures with the card boxes that Topps sends.  I'm only buying one pack a week, but between that and the on demand cards from a couple of years ago, I've probably got about 50 of them.  That's not really enough to build anything impressive, but I can imagine that you 10-pack or more buyers could build your own version of the Eiffel Tower by now.

The creature is behind the GPK set as well so don't worry it's not something that connects to WPs and something you have to buy with the WPs. GPK comes out on Tuesday, WP on Wednesday so...it's "behind" them...

They had the creature behind this past week's GPKs.

The same as before, I just mean make a master set an option.

I feel for you.  I guess if I asked USPS where my package was, they could truthfully say it's unknown.
