ESP Series 2

Im predicting this set will be released in NZ about grand final time or early 2014...
Id love to buy loose packs of Traders or Powerplay here in NZ but it appears even that is still god knows when away...
I know we are considered the poor cousins to Australia but do ESP really need to prove they dont like us??


The other day I went to an outlet store that sold them over here last year and the manager said they weren't even coming to NZ at all? Anyway I emailed ESP about it and still no reply.

Here is some new info....

- ESP second release will be called NRL Traders Elite RRP $5.99
- We plan to release the product between the 15th of July and the 31st of July we will firm this up towards the end of May.
- Distribution will be limited to only our top retailers and via Ikon Collectibles.
- The ratios and check list will be released to everyone the week of the 17th of June this will give everyone 4 weeks to review them prior to planned release.
- We plan to promote the release via a number of collectible fairs in the lead up to the release. We are going to sample the product at these fairs so more on this latter.

Cheers

I spoke to a guy from a company over here that was supposed to be distributing them in NZ and they weren't getting the stock until the emd of April.
 
I'd like to have something decent to spend my money on... Between Limited and whatever the first release this year was called - I spent $160..... And it was all just crap............. I thrive on odds... Esp........... Doesn't have any at all..... I'd like to sustain a healthy cowboys PC... At this rate... I'm just tripling up on select because it's better for your money..... And your collection!!!

This is what I've been saying all along. Many agree with us but some don't, I don't care what others think really, I just want to buy NRL cards, that's my thing. The cards on offer at the moment are sub par, they are nowhere near Select, and that's just bullshit. Select were copping it from everywhere before they delivered Dynasty and ESP (so far) are significantly worse. If they don't get their gear together with the next set, where does that leave us.............????????

Probably the same position we were in with select in 2003..... Lol...

As an eternal optimist I am still prepared to give ESP a chance, they made all the right noises coming in and have made some mistakes, both big and small. They have now had a chance to absorb the faults and criticisms of their first couple of offerings.

So it is now time to move in the right direction, not necessarily nail it 100% but I hope that they "step up" to the plate, for the sake of the hobby. If we are talking about the same things and haven't moved on to critise something petty, like the "Font" used then they are taking our hobby in the wrong direction.

Bring it on.............I must say I'm keen and will be busting away this release........... if it is better.

Starting with Limited killed any possibility of hype. So weak. If they started with Traders, more people would see past the few mistakes they made and be genuinely excited for this upcoming release.
1 look at the checklist and ratios is all it will take me to decide.
 
Its not just collectors they have to please with this release. I know a seller stuck with 7 boxes of limited with little to no prospect of making their money back on it.
 
Years of crap yet they get remembered for Dynasty?
There was some crap (sketch cards & mascot gems were a novelty that became a nightmare), but I reckon they got a lot right over the years. I hope ESP start getting things right soon, nothing to report so far. Nothing!!!
