8 or so boxes of 2012 Ltd

[nznrl]

Got 150 packs, mostly in sealed boxes with my 2013Ltd cards. On release date that would have been $1200 worth of packets lol.

Odds are that I would receive 5.5 signature cards.

I have received a Mannering Jersey, a damaged Thaiday jersey and several damaged parallels. They will go nicely with my damaged, Gallen and Smith signatures from last year that still haven't and may never be replaced.

$1200 for a $60 card - thanks ESP I would like to particularly thank you for making us buy this shonky product in order to get your new release (which is actually quite nice)

I wonder if they do refunds?

What do you mean mostly sealed?? Did you buy this via Ikon?

No, the NZ distributor (who has been great as usual) sold the 2013ltd set in a deal with 150 packs. These arrived in 6-7 sealed boxes and the rest in packs I assume from their vending machine stock.

Damaged how? from packaging or shipping?

Packaging, I've had an issue all release with this set, dog-eared corners mostly, but also a scrape and roller damage on the Gallen, and glue all over the face of the Thaiday and a damaged corner. In a lot of the packs it appears (to me, and not just in todays lot) that the inserted filler card has got caught and dog-eared the corners of the parallels and non-jersey signatures.

I'm being a bit of a drama-queen really but just really hacked off that purchasing new releases is conditional on buying old, clearly inferior stock. I have also always been pissed off at their original rrp for these packets - it was just insulting.
