Topps Planning New Mars Attacks Cards and Merchandise for 2012?
I ordered both binders last week and received a shipping confirmation email yesterday. According to the tracking number I should receive my binders today.

I received my binder today. No problems, nice job on the artwork. Just wish they were wider. They wont hold alot of cards, might have to buy another.

I also received my binders today. I agree with beamer in that the binders are thin and will not hold many pages. That said, I am very happy with the binders and will most likely order more.

A few U.K. sellers are now listing Mars Attacks so hopefully my cases will be with me soon. Elephant

Still had no reply from the Topps site about the binders. Shake Head

My supplier states the cases are stuck in customs? Hopefully not too long.

It's great that you in the U.S. are getting your binders but I wonder why Topps can't even be bothered to reply potential U.K. buyers, I know I'm not the only U.K. buyer trying to get Binders from Topps.

Does anyone know who sketched this card?

After I saw this sketch card posted recently to the Mars Attacks Facebook page, I got to thinking...



Maybe Topps should consider releasing an entire set made up to look like these! I know it sounds weird, but I'd get one! The could call it Mars Attacks Recollected! What fun! I'd leave it on the coffee table as a conversation piece.

Think about it... most people don't own a set of the 1962-edition cards, right? Also, there are a lot of people who remember having those cards but they don't now. Everybody mistreated their Mars Attacks cards! They came out before kids collected everything. I remember an entire set of these we punched holes through and strung on the wall on a string! The perfect vehicle for nostaligia-cravers, then, is NOT a pristine set of 2012 re-issues (though those are nice too). A complete Mars Attacks! set made to look like some were used in bicycle spokes, torn and repaired, written on, holes punched in would in fact be the perfect blast from the past and quite a conversation piece.

If Topps doesn't like the idea maybe I'll make my own set from the current re-release. Just imagine the spots and stains and doodles and missing corners, oh joy! Smile
