Try the Topps store front page; there is a link from there.

The link was originally screwed up and pointed to wacky binders, it is now fixed.

The site link isn't working for me. Anyone got a good link?

Here's how it was stated here in the 1st post:

Available at SHOPTOPPS.COM beginning Wednesday, October 20, 2010

but when you type that in, and hit go, it immediately changes andrefers you to the topps online store. I guess they're one and the same.

The ad on the main page linked to the ANS sticker album page before it became a link to the cards. I made my purchase so freakin fast I accidentally bought five sticker albums! I'm sure they'll refund my order.

You have to go to the home page - they're in the middle. They're NOT on the wacky packages link!

Yup -- I had two windows open just in case they weren't on the main Wacky Packages store page. Phew -- ordered my two; that's three left over for the rest of yinz. (You can thank me later.)
Now I'm going back to the description to see just exactly what I bought . . .

Well, there will be future and ongoing Wacky releases, so maybe this isn't a bad thing? Being unexpectedly proactive? (Or just get your money back.)

Halloween Binder? Just kidding. You must have been the first to hit it when they were posting and it confused the server.

Finally got in. Wow! 500 this time. This may not sell out in 10 min. I paid $63 for overnight shipping. No worries on free shipping. I just want them at my door when I return on Friday.
With 7 bio cards I wish we could order more sets. Oh well, these probably won't sell as high as the other PCs because of the larger QTY.
should be fun to see what turns up in the next few days

Tic_Toc · « **Reply #78 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:24:03 AM »

For those who missed it in the fine print... 500 sets were made this time.

Sunstroke · « **Reply #79 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:24:22 AM »

larger quantity, yes, but no regular release, and with the bio cards spread out, there is actually less of those.

I almost did that too but I caught myself! It took them 5 minutes or so to set the correct link up. The other thing I noticed is if you were in the actual Wacky items section it wouldn't show up, you needed to be at the store front.

That's interesting - no regular release? So the 500 sets are it for this artwork?

Order confirmed!!

Tic_Toc · « **Reply #83 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:26:24 AM »

Just curious - is there any way to tell how many are left for sale on the website?

BumChex · « **Reply #84 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:26:38 AM »

This is what makes collecting fun. I love the rush!

You spent $63.00 EXTRA for overnight shipping? Man, I thought I was impatient!

Sunstroke · « **Reply #86 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:27:45 AM »

yes, put a high number in your cart, it will tell you there are not that many left if you are too high. For instance, I just typed in to buy 280, it said there were not tnat many left, so less than that remain for sale as of 2 minutes ago

I agree - this is fun (of course, it wouldn't be if I was stuck on an airplane while they sold out...)

I do not know that as a fact, but they have always been released at the same time, and halloween is pretty close so I don't see much of a window to put out a regular release.

Good point. I thought they might wait for this to sell out and then list them, but it would make more sense to put them out at the same time (particularly if they had different bonus cards, so that we would be compelled to buy both sets).

When you look at what these will sell on eBay you will se it's worth the extra $12 a set to get them. I just paid $164 for one PC6 set. So this is cheap and I know my order will be rushed and no real chance of being part of a lost shipment because they put overnight shipments in a tush state and process before other orders, as so I've been told!

That means if it was 300 sets like the last series they would be sold out already!
