I guess this leads to the next question on what will see when you receive our June Week 2 sets.   Hopefully, we get them in July and not August.

I received my "replacement" 10 pack package for June Week 1.  In my pack, I got one Wonky, one Guest Artist, one complete Ludlow set and one complete Coupon set and extra Coupons and Ludlows.  All but two of the sets had just a coupon and a ludlow as the extra two cards (so no Wonky or GA card in every pack).  So, still a mystery as to why they needed to send replacements.

Yeah, so what's the purpose of the replacements if the collation is the same? Are there mistakes in the printing, or spelling in some parodies we don't know about?

I didn't notice anything like spelling or printing issues, just that we didn't get the inserts that they advertised.  I figured they'd be sending me 40 cards consisting of Pezzimist or Gatorage.  This way, I'll probably end up with 3 or 4 of those as replacements, which will still not be what they advertised, and more base sets than I'll ever want.  On the bright side, at Halloween I'll now be able to give out an entire base set to every kid!!  Too bad they're not kiss-cut, so the kids can see that they are stickers.

This assumes parents will let their kids go trick-or-treating in 2020.  Kids will have to wear a mask on top of their mask!

Those will be some lucky kids.

Wearing a mask on top of a mask... this is getting even more ridiculous than it already was.

A link for those w/o FB

Wondering if the artist is a fan of Annette Funicello. She had the hit song Pineapple Princess from her Hawaiannette album.

Not a fan of that rub-down script lettering. Is that how the packaging looks? Otherwise, the parody and illustration are most excellent!

FYI - Your avatar parody is now featured in the gag and criticism thread.

I thought Disney did a C&D on Topps! Remember when Disney did the C&D on Topps back in 2014 to stop the release of a Wacky Packages series of the Disney owned Star Wars Wacky Packages style?

It is very confusing!  I'd like August off to recover, receive July sets, and to save for Old School 9 and Halloween Postcards (fingers crossed!).

I hear you on that. I’ll post as soon as I find out what I’m getting. With July week 2 going up for sale tomorrow...that’s going to be 5 weeks worth or sets still outstanding..I’m not complaining! I love that there are new Wackies every week. And hopefully Halloween as you said and Old School 9! It’s been a good year!! I’m going to have a lot of sets to open when I can get them!

You're going to need a week off to open and collate everything that's stuck at the border!

I hear ya, Pat.  Don't forget the mini Wacky grocery items happening in August as well.  That could take some trading and collating time.

Have we ever heard whether there will be five sets in July or will there be a week off since there are five Wednesdays in July?

No kidding! I’d book some vacation time but I have no idea when the borders will be opening. If I had to guess it won’t be until September at the earliest...

There was an earlier version of Fantom in ANS4, if anyone wants to look.

Yep! That was mine as well. This weekly card was the first version. They didn't use it so I changed it to the ghost. Glad to finally have a chance to do the one I really wanted to do.

The link doesn't work for me in Firefox, but I got it to work in the Safari browser (on my Mac), but I don't click Allow Cookies. Otherwise, if I click Allow Cookies I get the You Missed It page.

Fingers crossed! Haven’t got the shipping notice email from Topps yet. Would be great if it’s the case! How many sets did you order?
