I have bought 10 packs every week since the beginning, and still have never gotten a "complete" weekly set. I'm always missing a coupon (or Lud) or two, while having doubles of other coupons (or Luds). $144 per week, and I still have to make trades or more purchases to complete each weekly set. It's maddening. I've tried to stay quiet and positive, but it's been happening every week for 3 months  :sad:

That was the point I was making.  We buy 10 sets In the hopes of completing the week and then we get doubles and still have to trade or buy the missing cards. That is why I collect all  the coupons and not all the red ludlows. It’s just too expensive. Whatever reds I get. So be it.

I actually got my shipping notice today after I posted earlier I had gotten nothing. Maybe you’ll get your notice today as we live in the same state.

Interestingly, an eBay only GPK set just sold 1937, the 2nd best selling GPK online set ever.  Is this the model of the  future?

Someone has been doing that with Wacky Packages for years (lost, variations).

I think this one is a great idea.  If only they'd used a wax pack instead of foil pack.  I'd love to see more like this -- maybe even all 5 one week.

The foil wrapper matches better with all the newer Wacky Packages Wackys like Postcard Series 1.

I guess now it should've come in a clear box.

It has #12 on it, so it's not a Wonky is it?

No, I think the intention was for a modern day ANS foil wrapper that pays homage to the vintage series wrapper. Just my guess.

Are a lot of people here waiting to get their July Week 4 shipments? Not seeing a lot of them listed on eBay.

I think Hoppy Packages is by far my most favorite of all the new weekly cards!

I got mine yesterday evening. Collation stinks again. Only got 3 of 5 different coupon backs; 2 were repeat titles. I did get all 5 red ludlow backs.

got mine yesterday, and had the best collation I've received so far. It was just off by one Ludlow, which was the last pack I opened.

We were talking on a different thread recently about how Wacky Packages are like "time capsules" where the packaging style takes you back to a specific place in your memories. Just a few weeks ago Dave Gross gave us the awesome Pet Puffed marshmallows parody. Today, I visit one of my favorite graphic design websites, and Kraft is changing the Jet Puffed marshmallows packaging. While the update is fun, I find the words "Jet Puffed" not as prominent as they were on the previous packaging. Plus, they got rid of the Kraft logo.
