Wacky Packages All New Weekly Series

[Swiski]

Since they are behind and need to catch up - It would be smart of Topps to ship several weeks into a singular package. Saves them money and all those shipping notice emails.

Very good point! But it might disrupt their process because it would force them to think about who gets what and they could easily screw it up....

What does SMOG spoof?

POG juice

POG juice

That's a good one. I've never even heard of it until now.

Something is going on with the Topps.com website - not taking my next order as suddenly there's no payment method for me and the shipping method is awry too.
But, I have 5 orders being processed.....brother....

We are a bit behind of ANS shipping right?

[RawGoo]

We are a bit behind of ANS shipping right?

A ridiculous bit behind!  I received September Weeks 2 and 3 on October 9th, and have not even received a shipping notice for September Weeks 4 or 5 yet.  And tomorrow we'll be offered November Week 1........

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

Just now received a fedex notice for September Week 4

Same here.

[Lavirus]

Let's hope it's for multiple orders in one shipment!

Got my shipment notice today, too.  But I don't think Topps is set up to combine orders.

Does Criminal Critters spoof a Fisher-Price toy?

No. These are Calico Critters from Epoch

Disappointing November week 1.  Art looks weak and gags are weak.  C'mon guys, don't start slipping now.  This series has been good quality for the most part.

[BattleCaps]

 Liked the October cards due to the Halloween theme, but I agree, these aren't as good.

Could be because I'm suffering from ANS fatigue though....

[roughwriter]

Let's be fair! With the old ANS sets, there were plenty of mutts mixed in with the really good Wackys. There was never a set where ever single card knocked it out of the park. I think these ANWS sets have had a much higher level of both artistic quality and idea creativity than in the old sets. There is no way to make everyone happy all the time, but getting a weekly fix of Wackys is a really good thing! Remember how much it sucked waiting months, or even years, wondering when you'd get a chance to see new cards? The folks at Topps should be commended for creating an overflowing cornucopia of Wackys for us! (Like that Thanksgiving tie in?) Nuff Said. - Pete

Calico Critters started in Japan circa 1984, in 1986 they were released in the USA under the name "Sylvanian Families".

agreed - they s/h stopped @ OCT - slopps try to suck us dry of our $$$

Just the opposite- they are Sylvanian Families everywhere in the world except the USA

October Week 4 Print Run 723, smallest of the four Halloween special weeks

[RawGoo]

My September Week 4 showed up today.  Worst collation I've gotten so far.  7 luds and 3 coupons, with only 2 different coupons

How can Topps employees be so good one week and so awful the next?  Maybe they're using temps.

I'm going to disagree with this statement. ANS kicked all kinds of butt. Lots of good stuff in the new weekly sets but I can't yet put it above ANS and certainly not the OS. Every weekly set has had some weak links which, comparatively speaking to ANS's set size, doesn't work out to be better all around. But yeah, lots for everyone to enjoy certainly and hopefully they continue to get better (and are shipped better...).

I can think of three Lost Wackys meant for ANS1 that would do very good here in ANWS, if anyone is interested out there in doing so.

They are:
*Little Drippie Snot Cakes (which was originally intended for the lost 1992 Series),
*Snot Pockets (last time I looked, this one only needs to be completed text-wise),
*Swansong Chicken Snot Pie.

If these were released, Topps would finally have done pretty much all the finished Lost Wackys from the early days of the ANS run.

I would be fine if none of those are ever published.  Save the snot jokes for GPKs.

Absolutely.  Agree 100%.

I'd say let's snot do them.

Why snot?

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

Just received a September week 5 notice

[mikecho]

Why snot?

That's right! Honka Picky Stix was done; why not these three? I see no difference here whatsoever. If that one can do it, these three can do it!

Hey, I'm still waiting for September Week 4....

[De-Mented Tomatoes]

Hey, I'm still waiting for September Week 4....

LOL! Boy Topps or the USPS slow. RECALL back in August my package from Topps traveled from Florida to Connecticut then all the way across Texas, NM, and  Arizona before making it back to NY.
