True. I wouldn't be going in Footy Stars breaks, that's for sure!
Not sure i could deal with getting a base card team set of North Melbourne
True. I wouldn't be going in Footy Stars breaks, that's for sure!Cherry probably won’t put up many boxes as they won’t make much money, breaks is where they will make there $$$
I prefer to give my money to local suppliers anyway, so it didn't phase me that they sold out.Cherry sold out within 15 mins. Not sure what allocation they had, but they did specifically mention that they won't be selling cases and will be limiting purchases of boxes to 2 per household. Also mentioned voiding any purchases of people who purchased more than the allotment.
This seems in line with Select. Maybe they've restricted sales like they did with Brilliance and will continue into this year's releases.

Servos, newsagencies, that's where I head.
Any chance they don't get allocations?

The vast majority of Footy Stars stock is allocated to Coles, Coles Express and 7-11 stores. Plus a percentage to newsagencies etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if Footy Stars 'sells out' on release day this year but that will only be a small percentage of overall stock as the rest will be going to retailers.
Thanks.Pre-sale is on Cherry right now, not sure if they sold out though.
Feb 21st is the Select release.
Most have them near the self serve checkouts. Grab a pack of 10 on the way outI have never seen any in supermarkets! I need to have a word with them haha

This brings back memories from a time when I only bought AFL cards. Jumping in the car late at night just to buy packs from the servo.My servo has a butt load coming in, as does the local newsagency.
I have 2 on hold. Then again, where I live, nobody really buys them.

So has anyone heard about there only being a limited amount available early March with the rest being released in early April, I’m waiting for my order form so no idea if I can even get any, most of the bigger sellers have sold out on there pre sales already
Yea not very confident I will get any of itYep I dropped in at sportscardworld this arvo and they said the first shipment is a small one
It's quite a crazy thought to see how much this hobby has changed in such a short timeYea not very confident I will get any of it
The delay is COVID related and nothing to do with demand.It's quite a crazy thought to see how much this hobby has changed in such a short time
from select's yearly first release, casually sitting on the shelves for months and months for kids and all to slowly purchase.
to "welcome to the new world order" it's now accept it or step off..... crazy times!
Chinese New Year is the culprit this year plus COVIDThe delay is COVID related and nothing to do with demand.
there was a similar situation last year where most hobby stores and other wholesale customers etc only had limited stock at release, but there were still boxes at every service station and supermarket on the same day.
It'll be like the US. Old blokes waiting outside Coles to rip the boxes from the registers!There are some saying that this series 1 will sell out, if that is true and where the hobby has got to then I’m not liking it one little bit. It’s actually turning me away. I know some love all the breakers etc, but I’m old school.
