Yet to receive delivery of stock at my store.

Have heard of certain places having them as early as last week.

looks like the clubs have received stock before the dealers!

Canberra had them for sale at the game last weekend too.

Wow

I think that is a good move.

I think its a fantastic move to sell them at clubs and in particular - at games - I have never understood why they haven't in the past. Massive missed opportunity IMO.

I can't tell you how many times I have been asked at an NRL game "where did you get those from?" think they will sell great - kids will be hitting their parents up to buy some for them.

The players may be signing a few more cards before and after the game then. Hopefully they will stay generous.

Power Play was aimed at kids initially so hopefully this will be a good way to make them accessible. Hopefully it will build a new wave of collector's, which the hobby needs at the moment.

just remember,don,t throw the rappers away.each 15 you collect you can send them in for 1 of 5 special redemption autograph cards.

I find it silly that the set has a Tuesday release date when most Newsagents only get shipments on Mondays and Thursdays.

Anyone know if Coles Express or 7/11 will stock starter packs this year?

 

[The_Funporium]

There are only the two delivery days for newsagents (Mondays & Thursdays) Unless they are country/rural agencies.

As a newsagent (primarily) I can confirm this. I too thought it strange given the release date didn't match a delivery day.

That being said, I placed an order with Ikon (one of ESP/TLA's preferred suppliers) and I dont have the stock today either....

Love to see a scan of them!

They look good....did they have stickers on the back?

 

[Paul_Ambrey]

there is no sticker on the back,and they are not numbered.

Ikon only recieved there stock today as yesterday was a public holiday in VIC....Depending on when they received there stock you may see it tomorrow

@Matt26 I thought it was mentioned previously ALL the sig cards would be stickered on back of the card? These are common cards that racer not numbered. Without a sticker, they are exactly the same as anyone can get through IP's! If these have not been stickered, IMO will hugely devalue them. Will be basically no way to differentiate one in packs to one anyone obtained through training / before / after games.

You can send the ones in that you receive in the packets for stickering

So what's stopping someone getting an IP and sending in to be stickered? Does not make any sense?

 

[Parrapaul]

I'm with you on that one

I guess if you are after one of your team or sets will be best to trade/buy from trustworthy sources from here

I am seriously lost for words on this one. Can not believe they would put them out without a sticker to differentiate them.
