2024 Elite NRL Official Thread

[nznrl]

Have seen -

Panthers - To'o
Raiders - Fogarty
Storm - Hughes
Bulldogs - Preston
Knights - Best
Eels - Moses
Dragons - Lomax
Roosters - Tedesco
Sharks - Mcinnes
Tigers - Koroisau
Warriors - DWZ

We need a poll on who is frustrated this stuff is out there vs who is excited about the chase.

If this becomes accessible great, but if it remains inaccessible to TLA's core collectors, then that is a pretty dicky move.

I really want that DWZ! My life is not complete without it! Look at that perm glistening in the lights.

Is there a checklist out for the US release yet?

Nope.....nothing as yet.

 

[Matt26]

Seems someone ordered a box of the US release from Leaf and it arrived today

 

[Alex_H_86]

Assuming they aren’t but any word on if elite is going to be in newsagents this year? (without them buying and reselling stock), only asking coz titanium was in newsagents/rebel and it was originally newsagent only

Only way you will see Elite in Newsagents if they buy product from dealers… Very limited chance

The United States.

How did you go with your box?

Hi Clinky,
As a newsagent, I can confirm there is no stock available for Newsagents to buy Elite '24 from our traditional suppliers.
I source stock from Authorized dealers, but won't have any for sale in store after having my requested supply reduced by 66%
Mark.

Ridiculous isn’t it?

Yet I am hearing of collectors buying 5 cases each and resellers hobby stores are struggling to get 3.

after looking at all the panthers LST cards side by side with the black ones in the mailday thread its incredibly hard to tell the difference on most of them and if they want to continue doing the black cards (which i personally find redundant as an awkward middle rarity) they should change the design to better differentiate them. ive done a very very rough proof of concept here - would love to maybe add more details too like a subtle greyscale team emblem in the sig box on the LSTs. IMO the change serves most teams well with other "multi-colour" teams like warriors also getting their full rainbow on display

Spoiler: LS black/team/white mockups

 

[Alex_H_86]

If I was designing them, the Panthers LST would be pink.

 

[Matt26]

Heard a little rumour that some of the dual auto booklets #/50 in the US release are:

- DCE/Turbo
- Carrigan/Arthurs
- Tedesco/Walker

 

[Alex_H_86]

I'm still waiting to hear if they are included in the Master Series.

Would make my life a lot easier.

The United States.

How did you go with your box? You must be cheering you ordered direct from the US as rest of us have to wait for our boxes when everyone buying from the US has already received them.

 

[Angry]

Early mail day

Early mail day

How did you get it before the release.

How did you get it before the release.

Guys are ordering direct from The US, as already released over there Paul.

Hopefully all dealers get a chance to purchase some of it. Wishful thinking that TLA will be fair but can only hope. Also I can’t understand the cost of the US. How can they justify that price? Can’t see where the extra expenses would be to justify it unless they plan on not many in the US buying it because of that so they can sell it back in Oz. As long as it’s shared around that’s fine but I can’t see it happening fairly.

If it sells well in the US we may not see much of the US release available here in AU and I don't think TLA will drop the price to make it affordable for Aussie collectors. I hope there are not any redemptions for the duel sigs, from experience with non-sport stuff Leaf are slow in sending redemptions, that is if they are over there. Its going to be a nightmare.
