Walking Dead Season 2 Trading Cards from Cryptozoic
Hi all,

Does anyone know how many boxes were made? ALso, does anyone know where I can order a few boxes. Seems like everywhere I try they are either sold out already or are unwilling to quote a price.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi dobo, my guess is around 7000 boxes. Everyone asks the same question, if You are lucky You can find some boxes but better be fast then or they´ll disappear. I´m sure once the product is out You can find them on ebay, but at a much higher cost.

News is Mid November, from a very reliable source.

My source for a few boxes has "Release Date: 10/05/2012" since the time they offered them. Guess I better check with them.

As you all know, it's been announced as a Fall release. And a source at CZE has confirmed that. So basically, until it's announced by CZE, there is no firm date/

That's the basic theory with all CZE sets.

With how good they are (in my opinion at least) at showing the newly received autos and such, it's probably safe to guess that they're still waiting on product to be in hand before the packs are put together.

I've looked all over the place and asked lots of dealers and all I can get is 2 sealed boxes.I wanted a case but I think I'm lucky to get them.£47.50 a box.

Now all I can say is that I was lucky to get 6 boxes for less than 90$/box, now they are around 150/box on ebay!

Has someone heard what kind of redemptions there are going to be or any news on wardrobe cards?

everything I am seeing now is an October 31st release. Too bad it won't be out for kickoff of season 3.

I've been notified my case order is now 2 boxes. I can't complain as my distributor is being fair in how he allocates to his customers. Could have been easily zero boxes.

Well, believe what you want. I didn't want to quote my source, but since people want to believe rumors, here's what a CZE person said to me 4 days ago:

"Our policy is to not announce release dates until they are final. Any dates out there are speculation, as all we've said is Fall 2012."

I looked yesterday on their website and couldn't find any updates. Have you seen something there that I missed?

I've been told I'm getting 4 boxes from the case I ordered.

I was able to get 4 boxes on pre-order from a dealer. The hardest purchase I have had so far in 20+ years of collecting.
