That's actually a fairly reputable dealer. Think that 64% off is just a sales gimmick. Anyone know what they are accepting as a "Best Offer"? Neither BO or DA have this product for sale!!

That dealer just does shows and dumps the product that don't sale fast so he can make money off the rarer products

Well it sounds like that's something personal you hold against them. Doesn't change the fact that they are reputable and have fullfilled every single pre-order of items like this I bought from them, even if they've skyrocketed once released.

My question was also not answered as I cannot find this product anywhere. What are they accepting for a box???

This is crazy

Topps Star Wars The Force Awakens Ser 2 Hobby Box - $139.95 : Blowout Cards - Sports Cards and Trading Cards Wholesale Online Store

Will they make 600 cases or 2000... difference of 130 and 60 dollars.. imo

Very risky pre buy....

Also people on ebay pre selling... if this is short printed like series 1.. people will get cut like last time...

I can still pre order this at various places for almost half the cost. Not sure what's going on.

I was able to pre order series 1 for a while...

was it a week or 2 before release I was cut from 3-4 cases to 1

Were you preordering at 140$? That's what I am getting to.

No....

Just saying how risky it is to pre order at 139...

If they make 1500-2000 cases it will be 65 a box....

What are odds it will be 600 cases like series 1

daviswr7 · 01-30-2016, 07:06 PM

I would think this would be a little bit more plentiful then Series 1 but not alot. I still think this will be shorter print but nothing close to series 1.

Every major dist is done and not taking any more pre-orders for this product.

I'd imagine, like series 1 we will get zero production #'s till stuff starts rolling in to dist's the week before..

I wonder how much is already pre ordered and why are the distributors not taking anymore orders.

The deadline from Topps to place orders was many weeks ago.

Most distributors require dealers to place firm orders by the cut off date. After that, they usually don't take orders unless they ordered some quantity of the product for post-cut-off sales.

Dealers stick their necks out a LOT in order to guess how much product they will need. Distributors, not so much.

Probably one of the few products.that is limited and involving Star Wars. With Topps history,look for an increased case run

kyle1707 · 01-31-2016, 01:26 PM

journey force awakens 1500-2000
Chrome 1500-2000
Series 1 600
series 2 ? risky pre buy?

What will topps do? would not be shocked either way .. 600 or 2000

I have pre order 4 cases.. I know if I get all 4 it is a huge run...

If I get cut like series 1... you know it is SP

My hope is to get cut and have it like series 1 to be honest...

jdhaugh11 · 02-09-2016, 10:32 AM

I was able to finally find a few boxes at a decent price, I was not willing to pay $150+ for a product that at this point we know little about.
We know more about what is in FA Chrome that comes out in July!
I got 3 boxes so far at $99, not sure if I will try to find a case or not.
The site I got the boxes from did not offer cases.

Force Awaken chrome July?

It depends who you pre order from and if they value you as a buyer or if they are reputable or if they pre sold more than they knew what they were getting.

My LCS ordered 5 cases of FA1 and he got all 5 cases he ordered.

Very rarely does Topps cut direct Brick & Mortar accounts...obviously, the B&M or LCS accounts are not able to order the quantities that distributors are afforded. Topps has not cut any of our direct orders.

Whelp, Topps Facebook just announced an auto of one of BB-8s operators...*sigh*

I'd rather have a fake relic w/ a piece of a ping-pong ball they call a BB-8 relic.

I'd rather Bill Hader... Hope he gets in eventually.

buckycap · 02-11-2016, 09:14 PM

Over 25 new signers for series 2 according to the Twitter account of the brand manager.

Still better than my 10th copy of even piell, and if Topps was smart it would be on a cool picture or even a sketch of BB8. But guess that's not happening

ztaylork · 02-11-2016, 10:07 PM

Really hoping for Simon Pegg...that would be a great one!

jdhaugh11 · 02-12-2016, 12:01 AM

Well with 25 new signers we had to know several would be like this or people with very small rolls.
At least with an auto like this, it will be cool for the kids. At least I know my son will think it's a nice hit.
He thinks our Ezra Chrome auto is one of the better autos you can get and I am happy that he thinks that!

Was Daniel Craig really an uncredited stormtrooper like IMDB says?
