I have two different FedEx tracking #'s for my three box order from the public sale, both printed on 9/9 but neither have been picked up or anything, so who knows if I'll get anything. The order is marked "complete" on my account and the charge went through shortly after the order was placed, so I have no earthly idea

The topps rep said anyone who ordered them in the window they were up will get the boxes. The rep said they made more boxes to accommodate for the sales...

That's a rep who has no idea what (s)he is talking about. This stuff was printed months ago.

yeah why would they go back and make more because of some accidental surplus in sales lol. Makes no sense, just refund.

I didn't say your card would be charged again for the same transaction. As I've said, a business can threaten to ban customers or send the bills to collections. Of course it all depends on a person'a appetite for trouble in the face of an unexpected windfall.

Anyway, people can take it or leave it that I was hounded for a measly $122 rental that was canceled then threatened with the DNR list. Anyone assuming I'm posting out of jealousy has obviously never felt the sheer frustration of dealing with a company that just wants their money.

Well, more importantly, the 'original print run' would already include all of the numbered parallels. They wouldn't be able to put ANY in the new run, since they were already all packed out. So they'd have to also change the new packs to say that your odds of pulling any of them were zero.

"Oblivious" is a not-so-clever spin on "obvious." I figured that even you would pick up on that. Sadly, I was wrong.

Regardless, you're arguing that I should have inferred that when he said one needs to pay for an item, one can actually take action aside from paying for said item.

You're also arguing that he agreed with me although he said I was wrong.

I sure hope you're not a litigator. You'd get absolutely eaten alive in court. Based on the coherence of your arguments, I'd guess you're a temp doing doc review.

Didn't think it will happen, getting to the point wanted the refund...but single 3 box public order made with MC account on 8/25 (really late to the public order), never cancelled, got picked up by Fedex today at 4:58pm Pompano, FL time (FEDEX notice just now 2:23am Pompano, FL). Label was created on 9/8.

They could have been a lot less popular with bots than everyone assumed.

hmmmm, maybe they finally bucked up and cancelled all bot orders? Then proceeded to send all the Montgomery members that ordered and always struggled with botters some free boxes. Nice of Topps. I will spend the profits on Topps products again.

Both my boxes are on the move! Still not sure how this is possible. Did they put GIJoe packs in the boxes?

Fanatics would be smart to monetize raffles for the most desirable, if not all, of their products.

I think this is the case...they had limited the boxes per account to 4 total on Thursday 8/25 (1 MC box plus 3 more public sale) ,but then stretched it to 6 total per account on Saturday 8/27, when I ordered 2 more...are the "flippers" starting to realize they won't double their money and moving on to other things? If so, good news for actual set builders and collectors. In sum:

--My one MC box arrived
--The 3-box order I made Thurs. 8/25 is now "moving" and due for delivery Wednesday
--The 2-box order from Sat. 8/27 (when they expanded boxes allowed per account) is still processing.

They allowed 6 boxes per account in the end

I just have one account, so the water is not as muddy in trying to see what happened with orders..they allowed each account 2 additional boxes on Saturday 8/27, expanding the availability window..so, it seems bots evidently weren't scooping them up like before..they gave accounts a shot at more when they weren't selling.

They did the same thing with the Star Wars Mandalorian Chrome this week--it was a 6-box limit at first..they have since stretched it to a 13-box cap per account, because they are not selling...

My 3 Public from my MC are moving (within a few minutes of release)
plus...
my 3 public from another account are moving (ordered almost 7 hours after release, I've seen lower order #'s cancelled)...


Both were picked up at the same time (accounts created about 6 years apart).

My two, three box orders have made it to FedEx. Like stated above, I was getting to the point where I wanted the refund, but I am excited to have six more boxes.

To be honest I think if you were quick enough and got a tracking #. You are getting your order. Bots definitely went after this product. Strong checklist. I know plenty of botters who scooped lots of stock. I am surprised things are moving. However, both orders that are moving for me I placed ASAP. The one that doesn't have any movement or tracking # was placed well later.
