Lance,

I'm not quite sure what your concern is here, but Topps asked to make mention of the Old School release in this post.

Best,
Neil

Shipping was $10 for me and I can almost throw a rock and hit Topps. I ordered a yellow postcard binder, too, to at least make the shipping a bit more worth it.

I was afraid of this.  $10 shipping on a $12 lightweight comic book is obscene.  How seriously are you considering throwing the rock?

[BumChex]

I combined it with 15 OLDS4 boxes. I also got 2 day shipping for $30. That is quite a bargain for me

I thought that Old School 4 wasn't shipping until the 26th?  So, you'll get your comic in a couple of weeks?

LOL. As I'm sure you know, my reference was to the fact that I am just a "stone's throw" from them, distance-wise. I actually don't complain about shipping that much, as I understand they have to pay for packing materials, someone to pack said materials and whatever UPS charges them. Cheaper than going there yourself...

I can wait.

[Zenergizer]

a nice extra present in the stocking, thanks Neil!

[Alexeirex]

Does anyone else think that maybe sketch cards of the xmas comic might show up in OS4 boxes? Or has that happened only for postcard sets?

I broke down and purchased this.

Yeah, I know, just couldn't resist

I wonder if Topps gave thought to making an unsigned unlimited comic?  I'm sitting out this comic because I don't want to pay the shipping and money is tight.  However, by the time I next place an order with Topps, I doubt there will be any left since only 300 were produced.

I just checked and the shipping quote for me was $12.83. I live in NJ.

I guess I'm missing the point of this $23 comic. Is it based on some sketch cards, or upcoming Postcard series, or...?

I'm hoping that there are going to be holiday sketch cards for the panels in the comic book.  But, at the same time, I'm also afraid that if ebay is the venue for sale, they will be too expensive for me to get one.

Heaven help me if there's a Bot with a Santa hat..................

Just a little ol' wacky comic! No connection to the postcards.

Neil, you are just TOO funny!!  THANK YOU for the great Christmas sketch!!!

[Joe G.]

Neil, can't wait to get your Holiday comic.  Is the shipping date Dec 31st?

[Campy]

Very Nice, I have to say the Bot is one of my favorites

[dth1971]

Maybe it's a surprise story tying in with OS4...

[Alexeirex]

Warning to those who want their Holiday comic fast - it's not going to be shipped until after xmas.
I combined an order withStar Wars binders and Wacky posters thinking I would gift some Wacky and Star Wars items and found that

Bummer!!  I was wondering about the shipping date, since I didn't receive a shipping notice today.  Maybe the 'Do not open until December 31st' on the item pic was in lieu of a notice that the offer was a pre-order?

I guess I'm fine combining with OLDS4 boxes. Late next week will be fun! Can't wait to see what Dave has up his sleeve with this release.

[dth1971]

I ordered the comic, but when does Topps ship it out?
