[graham]

Worth nothing, bin them!!!






Or you could send them to me

 

[#1 Eels fan]

I wonder if there is any legal grounds here for the guys who bought up big

 

[Green Oval]

Just noticed that the Ken Sio common card is the same picture as the 2012 Dynasty top try scorers card????????

all this fuss over a set with last seasons pictures on anyway!

I wonder why they called it Traders?

Because they look like they have stuffed the Traders with this one

The cards look good though but this crew need to put the 5th gear in the gearbox

 

[1967Sharks]

Yeah this is 5 years backwards imo.
Learn from Selects mistakes and hit the ground running but Noo, Its like nursing a newborn.
Get this high end release right coz my passion for this hobby is dying.

I bought 1 box and 2 Starters and hit a Young Gun btw.

 

[1967Sharks]

End of the day if i didnt hit a Young Gun... I wouldve rather have busted Champions and i have NEVER bought a box of that sht in my life.

 

[Dragon_Fire]

Its Like They listened to everything we said and done the opposite.

Which one

 

[ch0pzta]

Opened my ten packs (2 folder pack, 4 in starter, 4 loose), nothing in folder packs, nothing in starter packs, 2 Retirements in the 4 loose packs, 2012 Storm premiers inside the folder.

I like the look of the cards, especially the parallels and Retirements. Will grab a few packs every day.

 

[Trephinator]

Bought 36 packs from 3 different locations and a mix of loose, starter, folder packs and beat the odds with 6 retirements, 3 chart toppers and 2 premierships, plus the premiership card in the folder. A bit underwhelmed, aside from the possibility of hitting a high end sig. The parallels are not that different from the commons, and there are an unbelievable amount of commons.`

Correct, they have shown little or no regard for their core customer base. They don't seem to have any interest in dealers or collectors as far as information and communication is concerned.

Do they just want the kids to swarm all over this stuff and buy up everything. We know what happens to those cards. They seem to have no regard for their product either if that's the case.

 

[ghosty]

That is a stupid NRL policy. It makes no sense to me, the coach is as much a part of the team as the players.

Here is a Daily Telegraph article about it.

i have the manly 2011 card, same picture as the atricle n Hasler is on the card, as are some kids n g/fs...

It looks as though us collectors are not high up on there agenda.

 

[Herepusspuss]

Bought a total of 28 packs 2day from two diffrerent newsagents.
4 Retirements, 1 Chart Topper, 1 Premiership.. Bit lame..

Lets not forget that the core intended customer base for this release IS the kids. This isn't meant as a set for serious hard core collectors, just because we choose to collect it does not mean we should be able to dictate what is in it.

If the second series is distributed along the same lines then I would take umbrage at their unwillingness to respond to the collectors wants and needs.

I disagree. Power Play is for kids. I dont think you have 2 per case and 1 per 5 case hits if your intended customer base is kids.

In any business if you dont give customers what they want you wont have them long.

glad to see some people are on the money !!! i agree 100%

[troy titans]

[GiRDS-]

way underpriced if you ask me...
