Hi mate, welcome aboard.

Who did you order through?

I ordered through the TLA website a month or so ago the day the presale came out

I would be checking with them for tracking info. That should give you an idea of when you will receive the box.

Diggaz has slowed up a heap on his breaks. He still does them but is really busy with the shop.

Both Diggaz and GCTC run breaks from their own pages on FB, seems to work for them. I guess OZCT doesn’t get the traffic it used to.

Maybe email them and see if they will hold you a spot in a break?

Yeah I know you can do through their sites but I just enjoyed doing it through here . Was good seeing other members names in the same break and being able to trade afterwards. The traffic on here seemed to slow down when the breaks stopped and also when you had to add prices . I enjoyed trading with people on here and being able to negotiate prices etc . Just my opinion anyway .

The 2025 NRL traders common set have photos of Nathan Cleary, Jahrome Hughes, Jamal Fogarty and Xavier Savage from the 2023 season. Bit tacky if you ask me.... all 4 players played last year so I'm sure there would have been images available.

It's lazy and especially cheapskate.

looks like Showcase are the hobby starter card, given those are the least popular and hobby are the hardest to find at retail that may be for the best

I don't know whether to be annoyed or impressed with Savage one since he only played 1 game in the 2023 season

For a product which has an official release date of the 6th of March, there sure is a lot of cards on eBay now.Including a Wayne Pearce legends card for $550.00 buy it now.

seen at least one newsagent with their stuff out a day early

 

[Rocket1908]

Newsagents have the Fan faves parallel which means the kmart exclusive is the rising stars

It was a good game though. We won and he scored one or two.

K Mart starters are now Rebel starters

K Mart starters are now Rebel starters

interesting. definitely easier to get as my local kmart has stopped stocking cards entirely

I wondered if that is because the K Mart do the AFL

I dunno if that made a difference, I saw NRL and AFL cards at Coles last year.
I think Kmart are just probably pulling back on trading cards. Apart from the few that already carry nothing it seems dire - the Lorcana is always on clearance, the AFL stuff sat there all year (albeit I'm in NSW, it probably did better in the AFL states), most of the Pokemon stuff sits there until it goes on clearance and the stuff people actually want gets scalped/starts fights. It probably just isn't worth it for them to carry as much of it anymore

It looks like TLA have outdone themselves this year. These are nothing compared to the Jakiya Whitfeld signature card with another player's photo on it

So my newsagents got a single box. Usually would get at least 2-3. All sells over the winter. She received no starters (she’d usually get quite a few), no binders.

She’s a nice lady. Was an unopened box. Asked if I wanted some. Said I’d buy the box.

Busted it.
No retirement. No predictor. No sigs. Nothing better than two Club Heroes and the smattering of STR, Rising Stars and Fan Faves.

Disgraceful.

I have heard predictors are back to a case hit. Also (and this is unconfirmed), only the winning teams redeemable?
