I haven't seen any discussion of these. Unstoppable just released an 18 card preview set, 600 sets made

Well, isn't that nice. I signed up for Unstoppable's email alerts months ago, just so I'd get updates/news about this set in particular. Of course I received no emails and now, after reading your post I see that they are already sold out on Unstoppable's web site.

Not surprising, since it looks like each set contained either an auto, sketch or printing plate, all for $24.95! I'm guessing those in the know snatched these up asap. The Andy Frye sketches on Ebay look very nice. Haven't seen any full sets for sale, though. Guessing they will all get cracked for the special card. Frown

Any friendly dealers out there have these sets for sale? Smile

Edit: ah, now I see the listings; got to remove the "best of" from the keyword search. Wink Fair number of base sets and sealed packs from UK dealers. Some decent prices including shipping. Hmmm... Wonder how picked over those sealed packs are? Big Grin

I would imagine most of the preview packs will have been opened, you should be able to pick up a base set of the 18 cards very cheaply.

I've purchased a box and a binder of all of the recent Unstoppable sets, but I never knew of this Preview set until I saw mention of it on Unstoppable's Facebook page yesterday

The only emails I have received from the company the past few months talk about Space 1999 and UFO

However, it looks like the Preview set can be obtained from UK dealers for $ 10-20

UK card collectors are at a disadvantage getting most products, except when it comes to manufacturers in their own back yard. Then the coin flips and US collectors have trouble ordering UK product, like Unstoppable.

It does not help that they don't keep to any kind of release schedules either.

Yep, I will likely pick up the base cards from the UK, which is all I really wanted in the first place. It just peeves me that I bothered to sign up for product alerts and got nothing. If a business wants to go all FacePage, all the time then fine - shut down your website and only cater to your FacePage followers. You can treat email and websites as ancillary marketing tools but the content and communication needs to be consistent across the board.

The Unstoppable website seems to be down quite often. You have to go on Facebook to get news about what is going on

Yes, employing backup services if you actually plan to run your business from your site is an awesome thing, SMH. Roll Eyes

I was able to get the 18 card preview set for a mere $ 12, which included shipping

Doesn't have any autos, just the 18 cards

To be released late March, according to emails from Unstoppable

Plus you get a ton of exclusives if you order a case of 10 boxes, including promos and autos-- but it's over $ 600.00 Frown
