I'm sure that it was done randomly and the bigger orders have more ping pong balls in the hopper, so they'll get a box, and I'm not willing to shell out $200+ for one.  I'm just saying that it stinks for the collectors who would love to have a box.  I'm also a Coca-Cola collector and they offer at times a yearly subscription to try out new products for $10/month.  Since it is limited to just 1000 and Coca-Cola is a big name, it typically sells out in a few minutes.  Then each month on eBay, tons of these show up at $35-50.  I definitely support Capitalism, but the collectors suffer when someone buys only to resell and profit, but it's definitely better than Socialism where the hard working suffer.

What kind of new Coke products?  All I have for Coke is trading card sets, and I have those for Pepsi, Campbell's and Hershey's, too, because I like the artwork on the old ads.

I remember a collector's club for some kind of toy brand, I think it might have been Johnny Lightning.  The exclusives were murder to get!  You basically had to be checking their site 24/7 and then STILL be lucky to click fast enough.  I think the only one I ever got was the chrome version of the Supercar, and I had to buy that from a dealer at ICon.  Still have it, must go look and see what the box says.

What kind of new Coke products?

It's typically 4-5 smaller bottles (6 oz?) of new Coca-Cola product flavors.  It could be something like Mango Coke or Vanilla Sprite or even something in their bottled water products like Dasani, Smart Water, etc.  The purpose is to get feedback from the subscribers before mass producing the products.  Imagine if they'd have done that with New Coke before releasing it in 1985.  That turned into a disaster that laid a golden egg when they brought back "Classic Coke."  As a collector, I'd be torn between actually trying them and keeping them unopened. 

Here's a photo of some my Coca-Cola stuff.  I have very little that's truly "vintage" because I'm just not willing to shell out the money for it.

After my mother died, and I was cleaning out her house, I rediscovered my love for collecting Coca-Cola.  Some of this came from my dad's collection.  I think I continued to collect it because when my dad would take me to get a hair cut as a kid, the barber shop had a Coca-Cola machine with the smaller 7 oz bottles, and he would always buy me one.  My parents also had a friend who worked at the local Coca-Cola bottling plant, and I remember his bringing us cool stuff that's now very collectible.  I guess I've been a fan ever since.  My bucket buy would be an operational vending machine from the 1960s or earlier.

Well, my 10 packs arrived today.  I cannot believe that out of 10 packs I didn't even get a set of GIDs or coupons.  5 of the same GID card, 4 of another, and 1 straggler to get me to 3 of 4.  Gotta go check out the trading thread; Lord, I hope people here need G3 and G4!  My coupons are almost as bad.

I’m thinking G1 seems to be on the rare side based on forum members trade lists and eBay sales.

Don't feel so bad, RawGoo, I also bought 10 packs and did not get an entire coupon set of GITD set.  So where is this trading thread???

The Kickstarter MA: Occupation set was 2016.
The First actual Topps set was 2018

Was each set supposed to come with a sketch card? I got 2 out of 4.

Sketches are 1:2 odds, so that’s dead on

My 12 packs showed up and I didn't get all the glow in the dark cards either. 6 of one, 5 of another... terrible. Spending  $500 and not getting every card is indefensible. I could spend less than $500 and get every card on eBay. I'm done buying multiple sets from Topps. This, coupled with the continuing debacle of the weekly ANS sets.... they've lost me.

You realize we're at Topps' mercy, right? I mean, it's either:

Get this fabulous set! (and it really is, the quality of all the stuff we're getting these days is top notch)
But pay through the nose because we need to make money and accept how we're selling it!

- OR -

You'll get nothing and like it because it doesn't make us anything.

We don't have to buy into the chase stuff. I'm trying to wean myself off of Ludlows. I never cared about back variations other than coupons, but then I thought "It's only a small number to find". And then here we are.

  As an unabashed capitalist, I understand completely. I also understand  that I can just keep my money in my wallet.

  I don't blame Topps. They're in business to sell as many cards as possible, by whatever means at their disposal. Doesn't mean I have to buy them (anymore).

  I apologise. I don't mean to hijack this thread by bitching about this aspect of things. That's for another thread!  ;D

  To that end: this is another GREAT set of Attackys!! I love them. Very happy with the cards, art, gags, etc. I can't believe Neil keeps finding ways to Attacky-ize old Wackys. I say keep 'em coming!

Day 2 of "Open Up my Delivered Wacky Products" weekend:

Attacky Packages - great set, probably the best one yet!

Beautifully done, well printed, and I like the Red Ludlows and coupons,
and especially the Glow in the Dark cards.

My one complaint, and it may not even be one, as I have a hunch.

Has ANYONE gotten a GITD card # 1 ?  I doubt it was even made, honestly,
I got quite a bit of sets and not one # 1 card, too strange.

Otherwise, Topps and Neil, take another bow, a BEAUTIFUL set, in fact, I'd say it's "Out of this World".

Here’s what the G1 looks like. There have been several sold on eBay.
