Ok...Walmart not Target...is it boxes of cards, or cards in blister packs? I am assuming the box and packs are labeled differently than the Hobby version correct?

That must be retail boxes.

Hobby boxes should still be 1:24 packs.

It says sketch cards are one in 60 packs and it's referring to the retail version. It's pretty clear, I think (then again, I'm biased).

Yes, 1 in 24 packs for retail.

I missed at first that the whole story was about retail. So after rereading it, I edited my post to state that it must be retail. But it wouldn't be the first time a company changes stated odds.

As you pointed out to me Miss Lizzy, that they first posted the exclusive Previews binder and later changed it to the regular. Something that is easily unseen unless you're looking for it.

I'm confused (easily) Is there an exclusive Previews binder? Yesterday I frantically sent emails to all my local comic book stores trying to secure one.

Yes. There was one on ebay, but the seller used the wrong image.

I see on Cryptozoic's site regular binders are limited to 350. Anyone know how many of the Previews exclusives they made?

No, I haven't heard. My wife called two on-line dealers today. One said they were not taking any orders, since they are suppose to be in next week. The other didn't answer, so she ordered on-line. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I ended up ordering the Previews version online as well.

Hey guys! Here are a few more of the oversized redemption cards I did for the retail set.

Thanks, Tom!

Does anyone know when Wal-Mart usually stocks cards? Are they managed from within the company or by independent dealers? I know Tuesday is the day for new cards at Target just never have had to shop at Wal-Mart.

My local Wal-Mart seems to be rather sporadic about how they stock them here.

I have seen a regular employee stocking early in the mornings, or around noon a couple times.

Most likely like about everything else, when they get around to it. The next time I see her, I'll ask though.

I noticed that Diamond/Previews is not shipping this week or next.

Diamond is showing new releases for this week, delivery today. Do you mean your not seeing the exclusive TWDCs2 binder listed?

Again, I'm a little confused. Is the retail version the same cards as hobby with a different redemption, sketch ratio different? Different in any other way?

Huh? I looked on their site and did not see it for this week or next week. Do you have a link you can share? I have the Previews binder on order and was trying to figure how soon I'd get it.

According to my sources the new releases on Diamonds site are not very accurate as to merchandise shipped so we could still get our binders today. I did scan their listed releases and your right no binders or boxes. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Please let us know if anyone gets the binder today, may save me a trip after work.

Can anyone share where they got their preview binder (other than via previews), or am I SOL at this point?
