Eek I also had a chance to speak to Connie about her situation and all I can say to the folks doing the approvals is Twak Twak Twak did I mention... Twak.

I am crazy excited to bust my case for this so it is going to be hard to wait that long. I guess I can wait but topps better redeem themselves with a great product.

I'll look at the delay as a good thing, I'll almost certainly look to buy a third case. Smile

Yeah, this will give me some time to work on the Lost Season 3 set. I am excited, hopefully it means more autographs and maybe more costumes.

I feel dealers will raise case prices again since release still about 2 months later.

Well thats a good question. I have been chasing our supplier for more information on this but we have not had any thing to say the price would increase. I am waiting for a shipping date to update our presale customers but in the event that the price rises and the date is pushed to far off we will just refund people if they don't lake hanging around. I would guess thats what the majority of dealers will do.

For my cases, I already placed deposit with my dealer and secured the prices at the starting initial prices. However, I was told that if I want to order more cases, it will be charged at the latest rate.

I don't know what to think about this set...I cannot figure out what is going to be the easiest pull.

I originally thought costumes would be the easiest, they are cheap to make, with a single costume making around 800 cards (I am basing this on the fact that a NBA player jersey makes 800+ cards) but with there only being 4 costume cards right now, I am thinking those will be harder to pull. So then I thought sketches, but with all of the rejections I think Topps is having a hard time getting enough approved sketches through. So will autographs be the easiest pulls from this set?

I wish we could just get all of the info at once. It's nice to have something to look forward to at the end of each week (although last week the Topps site was not updated) but I am impatient lol.

I was informed this morning that I was approved for the set and I can post some sketches of the main 12 characters from the show. Thought you guys would like to see.

It, of course, also depends on the box run. Going by 800 per costume x4 = 3200 costume cards. If the release is only 8,000 then it is only 1 out of every 2.5 boxes or so which isn't bad at all. However, if this "limited" production run is 15,000, then the odds would be double that.

The wildcard with the costume estimates is whether or not TOPPS just got 1 of each costume. Every costume used has several duplicates in case something happens to the first (dirt, a tear or stained) and they need to re-shoot a scene. There are also duplicates for the stunt doubles. So while they might have just 4 types of costume they could have several copies of each. Not an absolute fact, just a possibility.
