2013 ESP Elite NRL Cards Thread (Updated 5/8/13)

Anyone else get any dodgy parallels? No white behind names?

I assume so, cause on checking I have quite a few

Full page ad for Elite with a card stuck in the middle of the page. My copy has a Willie Mason base card so I don't reckon we're likely to find any inserts.:lol:
My copy and every other copy that was in my local newsagent had a scott prince common. Every single one of them were damaged
 
Only 1 newsagent in my area even got Elite. And he sold out his 1 box and couple of blister packs.

I showed another local agency the Elite packs and she was a bit WTF? having not even been told they were doing this set. She's still ordering in Traders.
 
Must be running low on Elite stock. I have been to a couple of newsagencies in the Newcastle area that have told me they have tried to get more boxes in but ESP (or their rep) have told them that they have no more.
 
Well, I hope some cases have been reserved for NZ shops, cause they still not on sale here, aside from trademe. Sick of checking stores and just seeing the same old boxes of traders and power play growing cobwebs.
Has there been any word of an actual NZ release date? I know Traders was late here, but it was pretty easy to wait for - if you know what I mean.
 
Card Central on TM are the exclusive distributor - I take that to mean no one else will be selling them in NZ. Others in cities may prove me wrong on this. I have heard they are being sold in some vending machines. TM offers really reasonable prices and all boxes etc I have bought off Card Central have arrived the day after payment.

If you do ever find them in Palmy, let me know as I am 40mins away from you in Levin

Cheers mate, that's a shame if that's the case. Nothing against card central, but was looking forward to some loose pack busts, particularly with the way the sigs are packed - great for sampling boxes.
I have no interest to buy loose packs online and ESP needed to give a decent release some profile here, in terms of shop counters. I doubt Traders has sparked a new generation of collectors.
 
Elite are 100% not going into NZ shops. You gotta either buy direct from CC or find em in their Akl vending machines, those are your only two options
