This set includes my first contribution to this series. Neil did a super job giving my Pell Mell concept a vintage feel. It shouldn't be too hard guessing which classic it spoofs!
I have not bought Attacky Packages before. Are these considered Wackies? I am having trouble getting into the always horrible Topps Web Site. I finally got through. It appears they are Mars Attacks themed Wackys?
Hi John,Not sure if there's a definitive description for "Attacky Packages". Depending on the fan, some prefer to think of them as Wacky Packages with a Mars theme. Others refer to them as Mars Attacks with a wacky theme! Anyway, I think no matter which camp you're in, they're meant to be fun for everyone!
I just bought a set. It sucks that they charge sales tax. I used to buy these sets from eBay due to no tax, but those days are over.
I just bought a set and noticed that too. When did that start? I don't recall it before. I haven't bought the monthly sets for a while, instead picking up base sets on ebay.
Topps has always charged sales tax on sales to New York State customers (even at their table at the Allentown show!); I think it changed to everyone maybe 2 years ago? I have paid approximately $2,050 in sales tax on Topps purchases this year That includes sales tax on shipping charges, but their free "smartpost" is so unreliable that I just gave up on it.
So if the tax rate is 5%, then you spent 20x that much at Topps? That's a lotta Wackys; you should be an MVC!
Here are some sketch inserts Neil asked me to post for him.
Good news about the sales numbers. Always one of my favorite sets.Fingers crossed on the collation of the coupons and variations.
Is that a new record high for Attackys??
yes.caveat: series 3 sold more packs (1916), but that # needs to be divided by 3, as it took three packs to build a base set.
Shipping!!!
Received a shipping notice Monday as well.And with my supposed “Overnight” shipping, I expect that I’ll get them by Friday.
received mine and went thru them. I have to take the time to weed out the variations, but the coupon backs are cool. I got one sketch card out of 20 sets ordered
