What is taking so long for the Wacky Packages December 2021 set to be shipped out? I want to see what the "Colassal Wreck" Wacky Packages December 2021 sticker is like so I can find out if it spoofs the Jurassic World Colassal Rex toy!

Between days off for the holidays and Covid infections keeping people out of work, a lot of places are running behind and cutting hours.  I'm starting to count the ambulances here again, like back in early 2020.......

Times like this is when I'd like an actual 14 day shutdown.

Now the big question that begs to differ?  Where are the December sets?  I know that I ordered the Attack Packages after I did the December Sets.  Coming in two days is the Ordering of the January sets and I still haven't heard about the December sets.  I just hope nothing went wrong at the printer.

And I still have yet to find out if Colassal Wreck spoofs a Jurassic World movie toy.

Hope there's a belated December 2021 Wacky Monthly set shipping notice before this week ends!

It would be helpful to put all the 2022 discussion in the 2022 thread. Thanks

I wonder if the December sets are delayed this long because they put the sketch cards in the Attacky Packages sets?!?  I can see artists cranking out rushed new sketches for the December sets............

I wonder if this mixup is why a few folks received notices for December set shipments, that were later corrected to be Attacky sets?

Mine was an announcement that set has shipped, I just made an assumption that it was Decembers.  That is why I gave the correction as soon as I got the confirmation which set it was.

Strange that the December set is delayed so long like this. People will get shipping notices for this and the January set at the same time?

I think the December sets are delayed because somehow the printer mistakenly used the sketches that were supposed to be inserted in the December sets in the Attacky Packages Series 5 sets.  The backs on the sketch cards pulled in the Attackys are identical to those pulled in the 2021 March, June and September sets.  In the last Attacky Packages set, those sketch cards had backs that were for Attacky Packages.  Just a theory at this point, but I suspect Topps is trying to get replacement sketches done for December on the old sketch card stock, which they were probably out of.  I do hope that if I am right about this that Topps still has Neil's awesome Attacky sketches to send to us!!

Did anyone get an Attacky 5 sketch that looks like they were the ones meant for that set?

I must be a lucky S.O.B., because I only got a single set, but it showed up with a sketch card! (WP, not Attacky)

Has anyone called or emailed Topps about this?

And we still haven't seen what Colassal Wreck spoofs!

I'm a tech dinosaur, and barely manage emails. I'm unfamiliar with the process for displaying an image. I wish I could show it, but I don't know how. Sorry.

There is actually a thread here on the forum that discusses adding images a bit:   http://www.wackypackagesforum.com/index.php?topic=6276.0

I wonder if some who pre-ordered the December 2021 Wacky Packages set called up Topps to cancel their pre-orders because of the long delay.

If Topps had to do it all again, it should have issued holiday-themed issues a month ahead.  So Halloween-themed should have been issued in September since it would have been received by us in October in time for Halloween.  Christmas-themed should have been issued in November since it would presumably arrive pretty much just in time for, well, Christmas.

Agreed but probably Two months ahead at this point.   Placed my December set order in December and probably will arrive after Valentine's Day.  Anyone gets their order yet?  Topps also pulled down their On Demand dropdown from their website.   Perhaps, Fanatics is starting to change things already.   I am a optimist by nature but I really think Fanatics is going to mess things up.

They can only go up from here - Dave does a great job with his part, then the weasels and print monkeys get it all wrong.

Thanks to Dave and Neil and all the Wacky Warriors who do their part!

Or maybe Topps/Fanatics may file for bankruptcy or something like that.

Wow the watched pot really never does boil! I pre-ordered my first Wackys in something like 7 years and had been checking every day for shipping updates and that update did not come. I see now that it probably has to do with a mix up with sketch cards? Anyway, it is good to see a lot of my old Wacky friends still on the forum!

Colossal Wreck potentially sounds extremely cool.

I still haven't seen a pic of what Colossal Wreck spoofs.

Hope somebody can call and/or email Topps as soon as they can to check on the December 2021 Wacky pre-orders for possible results!
