These are even worse than the value pack refractors, IMO. Don't much care for these, too busy.įrom the bonus boxes, I got 12 different x-fractors. Want to finish this set, hopefully by trading here.įrom the value packs, I got 32 different refractors. Pulled 7 Where are they Nows?, but only 3 of the 5 titles, and then 4 dubs. I'll definitely be wanting to finish this subset. I like these a lot, and it's cool to see more of the Wackys that were used for the 17th series binder. Got 8 different of the 20 Cutting Room Floor subset, again great, collation-wise. I got 7 different of the 10 Lost Wackys, which I thought was great, collation-wise. I really like the Wacky Ads - I got 16 of those, including 12 different. Overall, the cards look nice, and I like that they sort of made them look die-cut. ![]() A serious criticism is that many of the cards have dinged corners, which I find really upsetting, especially in a product this expensive. I'm OS.I just finished opening and sorting what I bought last night, which was:ġ2 loose packs (there were 24 in the feed and they looked very orderly, so I bought some.)Ĭost me $191, and after 57 packs I'm 12 cards short of a base set I do have extras for trading, and WTH, I can cherry pick clear packs that have cards I need in front. If I want to spend hundreds of hard-earned dollars putting a set together, I'd rather just have an extra 'real' 1st series than the same titles printed on the business end of a DVD. Some of the comedy on the old Wackys even pre-dated our knowledge, but we only knew the gags because our dads & grand-dads used to say stuff like that. They're only funny or interesting if you were born back when sugar and lead, rather than high-fructose-corn-syrup and BPA, ruined our teeth and brains. Today's kids have NO clue what some of these products or comedic references are. If kids were really the true demographic for these, they wouldn't be releasing countless reprints of old titles. That idea sort-of worked for Lucas when he released his Jar-Jar-filled 'Star Wars, ep.1' at the dismay of the die-hard fans. I'm really surprised that all the Wacky veterans are buying into the continuous flood of re-packaged packages! If ANS-1 had just started where the 16th series left off (set of 30, brand-new Saunders-like artwork for currently-sold products rather than long-gone companies, plain backs, regular checklists, no alt-backs or chase cards), it would have been so much cooler!!! If it was a matter of the new kids being the demographic for them, and these new kids wanting chases, etc., I'd be fine with it. ![]() It's interesting to see the Wacky-Ads small, but really this is just yet another "reprint set" in a long line of other reprints of the same titles that frankly look the best in their original 1970's state, without art-backs, flashy borders, or goofed-up switched-around titles. And there's not much difference between the refractors & the regular ones. ![]() When I opened them, I was shocked to see that all my 3 bucks bought me just 5 cards. Regular stickers or cards are more resilient than these weird, curled, thick-stock ones. I bought a stack of packs from Target (very glad I didn't pre-order a box or cae), and a bunch of them were irreparably & undetectably bent in middle (because some store clerk probably crammed them down into the gravity box). ![]() Maybe I'm a purist, but I have to admit, I'm not crazy about these 'chromes'.
