Disappointing pricing. Got 2 hobby lite. But I'm balking at the Hobby Box prices around $640 including ship/tax from Europe.

Topps' system is so broken. Legitimate buyers sit in waiting rooms while bots get all the product.

hard to say. feels a bit over the top. could see these trickling down in the coming weeks before inevitably climbing again. i mean we have sapphire dropping soon, 1st edition UEFA, 1st edition F1??? lots to come

Still in stock in DE. As is lite. But $609 and $243 are basically the same as blowout prices after shipping and fees.

MTBRM · 03-09-2022, 11:56 AM

Well the cart page froze, but just got an email confirmation on the UK site for a Lite box, so I'll take it.

US site was a little cheaper with flagship, so maybe it will be a bit cheaper. not holding my breath

I can't seem to actually log in to any of the foreign sites to check out with my U.S. account. Strange.

You have to create another account. You can use the same email though.

There weren't any early links. He was either looking at paper or last years chrome.

Someone on a Discord I'm in had the UK link since a few hours ago, so they were out there. The link worked for me when it went live. Didn't get any though.

Ah, I see. Now DE is sold out lol

ianh182 · 03-09-2022, 12:05 PM

Disgraceful pricing. Not even guaranteed an auto!!!

And if you do get an auto, 33/53 on the checklist are engineers or F2 drivers!

This release has massive fail written all over it. Hopefully the bots took them all, and they can't shift them at those prices.

Have fun paying $600 for chrome for $50 worth of cards and F2 auto

I'll enjoy the color and short prints from flagship at 1/5th of the price

I would disagree with your assessment in the long term, maybe in the short term your view works.

Bob Ross · 03-09-2022, 12:08 PM

Ok, I'm back on the Paper F1 side of the argument.

600+ for chrome, sheesh.

Oh I'm not touching it at that price lol. I just want Lite for something to rip and I like the parallels.

You can buy all the color and variations you want for less than the cost of a box if that's what you're after.

cj828282 · 03-09-2022, 12:12 PM

Interesting to see if bots jump on the US release at these prices. I really see these prices going down as much as was produced. Sapphire will be the king and we will have to wait for that release.
