Where was the case link? I didn't see it at all. WTF.

Hit boxes on 2 separate accounts. That can't be a good sign.

If people are dumb enough to buy it

They deserve what they get

Although in this market it would not surprise me if the boxes go up in value

Case link was up early and then closed like an hour later. Hit 2 boxes but seems a bunch of people didn't get it. Not sure what I'm going to do with it...

Here’s a link to the Blowout Zerocool thread started a few years ago around the original Veefriends release. It would have been interesting to see what other types of products Zerocool would have released via the Dutch Auction format had Fanatics not acquired Topps and made Zerocool redundant.

This dude Gary was in the Topps Town Hall meeting for Hobby Stores and talked for 10-15 minutes.

-Sounds like they want this to compete with Pokemon(Good luck)
-He mentioned if Hobby Shops are going to carry the product he is going to send his "followers" to the store. I don't know if this is something as basic as calling out a store on social media, or if Topps will eventually have a database similar to Warhammer where people could put in their zip codes and it would spit out stores within X radius that carry this product.
-Mentioned Topps limited print run to ensure success
-Hobby stores will get offered if they have purchased Star Wars/Entertainment products in the past.
-Whether we believe in this dude or not, Topps does so there's money behind it.

Make of it what you will. To me, as a store owner, it's just another product to put on the shelf.

lol, Pokemon still has a basic utility in that people actually play the game, a lot of people. He will never compete with Pokemon. What a moron.

He's not dumb enough to think it could compete with Pokémon. He just needs his bros to believe he believes it can. This will sell well because of his name alone. And that's the sad state of the hobby these days.

After his shenanigans in sports cards, I'm surprised people still fall for his shameless grifting.

then again....

GV is only saying what he needs to sell/hype the product. I highly doubt he actually believes it'd compete with Pokemon. But if you share a "vision" of the product's future, you'll have more people (especially "investors") willingly spend money on your product (and, especially, the 1st release).

Wait a second.

Fanatics raised the price of Hobby boxes of this for the main release to $139.99 from the $99.99 preorder price?



Thanks, Fanatics! Keep up the great work!

Well, considering they are selling for over $300 I don't think thats too bad honestly. Surprised they didn't go higher. I have seen Gary V pop up in multiple places pumping this stuff. I don't understand the appeal but I think its going to rocket ship up and rocket ship back down.

I'm really not sure who the end consumer would be for something like this. I guess his social followers?
