ESP NRL Power Play 2014 Release Date 3rd April (Info/Checklist)

i think i got a parallel in my rugby league week.

me too

In the newsagents tonight. Blister packs and binders too.

Does that mean there is a 192 of them in Rugby League Week or were just a few printed?

I can see the blurb on ebay now: This sought after set was only available by purchasing 192 issues of Rugby League Week.

Unless you have very young kids who are genuinely interested in all things NRL, this set is a waste of time and money. There's plenty available in the Traders release to cover the kid's market. The only thing is that there are no signature cards or high end inserts that are likely to get trashed.
I reckon a sticker set would be more appropriate for the juniors market.

I kinda agree. I'm a tragic and my 5 year old was ecstatic. And the bigger cards are just right for him too.

please share a scan! I really want to see this card

 

[Wellsie]

Does the Parallel and the P on it actually stand for Promo maybe?

 

[Diggaz TC]

I've blurred out the actual serial number but you get the idea.

I also notice that the boxes say "Beenie Kids Prize Redemption Cards - 610 cards" Yet they are serial numbered to /500

doubt it as they advertised parallels and 192 promos is a lot!

Hi everyone,

Just got an email from Terry at ESP and he has confirmed that there are no Base Parallel cards inserted into Packs for 2014 NRL Power Play.

They are also working to update the advertisement which shows where they are included into this release.

My guess is that they were meant to be originally included and some of the cards have made their way into the Magazine for samples.

Might be a tough chase to find them!

Cheers
Matt

Does anybody know if all 192 parallels made their way into the magazine or was it just a few by mistake?

 

[collect94]

Just been to my local newsagent and none in the current issue of 3 April 2104.

 

[Muzza]

They were in the March 27 issue, the one with Semi Radradra on the cover.

Thanks for that info.

I went to a few newsagents. They had some left, but the cards are all creased - foil is cracked - either produced this way or the weight of the RLW bundles bent them out of shape and cracked them up.

Yeah, all the ones I saw in Wellington the cards were in a bad way - they are positioned right where the shops like to fold the magazine in half, so they were all pretty badly bent.

Does anyone have a pic of what the parallels looked like?

I'm no parallel fan as some may have picked up, but to have them out there but not out there is even worse!

 

[The Mad Hatter]

They are actually really nice. I found a GI but it was folded and creased in half. Pity it's not in the set. Basically the common card in a foil finish like silver parallel in Traders. Bolder colours because the card is a full action shot.
