Wacky Mini Series 4

[quas]

I hope they lose the fugetaboutit chase mini.  Not cool to have a complete set not be possible unless you are willing to drop 1k. Having that in the mix is contrary to what wacky collecting was about early on. "Collect them all!" was realistic with OS wackys.

Or around $2k in the case of the gold Windhex that sold not too long ago in a reverse auction in the Wacky Packages Mall.

I'm probably not going hog-wild on Series 4 like I did for Series 3. I'll buy some cups just to get a few titles. I'm nostalgic for owning plastic replicas of the OS Wackies, not the ANS Wackies as much. Nothing to do with the artwork quality, because their are some top notch people working on them today.

Exactly.   I have all the OS titles from 1, 2, and 3.   Except of course Bar Kist.   What an irritating idea .... the "fuggedaboutit"....I suppose some exec thought it was "cute".   Nope.

Glad I put a pre-order in for S4 at Toy Wiz. All S4 Pre-orders are now gone from their site. 24 Ct cases and singles.  No cancelation email so I guess they pre-sold their allotment.

Pretty much my approach as well.  I wait until I see them at Target or Walmart so I can choose a few cups based on the OS title that’s showing.  And if they don’t turn up, oh well.  I could take them or leave them.  Although the concept of ‘world’s smallest’ 3D versions sounded intriguing when I first learned about them, in my book the 2D version will always be king.

Heard back from Toy Wiz. Pre-Orders were pulled due to release being pushed from to August. Any Pre-orders already placed will be honored.
They will resume preorders in a few months.

Good old SI….

That shouldn't come as a surprise.  The minis are made in China where they're too busy building balloons to make toys. 

Maybe if they were putting little tiny listening devices inside the minis, they'd be more interested in manufacturing them.

I'm in no hurry. It will be fun opening these up again, hoping for at least one chase.
