Ok. Whatever

Regardless. Between breaking and distributors doubling price

It really stinks

It's still in my cart with a zero qty...

Well man I thought I was going to get a box of this, hard refreshed at 10:00:01 got in line to checkout for one box that said the wait time was "less than a minute" and instantly sold out a few seconds later and kicked me back to the site.

Pretty crazy stuff still happening ... kinda hope this bubble bursts so I can rip something that isn't a blaster lol

Tonic3 · 02-05-2025, 11:05 AM

So at this point is Topps just saying it's going to be listed just to cover themselves from a legal standpoint. Why not just tell average collectors they can go pound sand because they're giving all of this to their breaker brethren on Fanatics live.

bubblesquirtle · 02-05-2025, 11:05 AM

5 per cart is actually so dumb for a product with a print run of 1000

eastbayak · 02-05-2025, 11:06 AM

Anyone get placed into a queue? First time for me

The trick with this (at least it works for me) is to mess around with getting to checkout fifteen minutes prior with some other product on the site. Then hopefully you don't get hit with it. If it makes you feel any better, I thought I did everything perfectly and still couldn't get one box.

Got one. Don't ask me how. Probably will never happen again. It was like a glitch or something

I think that was the first time I saw the new queuing mechanism that appeared to happen inside the shopify experience. Did the little infinite loading bar graphic and told me I had less than a minute late. That's something new to me at least ...

I can't fathom why they don't EQL a release like this. Like ... if not this, what? Is there some legal reason with Disney that prevents EQL on their properties?

Don't worry everyone. We can try for the Diamond Icons that drops in 45 ish minutes for the low low price of only $3300/box

Then why the hell is the limit 5 per account lol? Topps is basically now running their version of the Panini system from 2019. Sell product for a fraction of market value at a set price. Either bots get it or whoever is the luckiest gets it. You could literally be the first manual user to be on the checkout page and still not get an order. Yet someone minutes later can get an order in.

I wish! It's EQL and a desirable product. Probably 10% chance on boxes and less than 5% chance on cases. I'd rather take my chances with this system than EQL even though both suck.
