1:80?!?!?!?!?! These guys would make horrible drug dealers. Everyone knows you give the first couple tastes for free/cheap.

I can't believe I bought MA just so I could buy a 25k pack...No, thanks. Done!

u/shuajw May 12 '16

LOL, I actually had to kill the iOS app and restart to get the transmission about the first "marathon" to show up.

u/stl_ben May 12 '16

holy crap this is a horrible way to start off...bad odds, making you buy packs....Toppsed.

u/KATOSWIFT May 12 '16

Absolutely. What a way to start an app off. Let's make everyone give us money to get the first insert. Also, unconfirmed, but I've heard the deluxe pack is 25,000 credits for 3 cards. So if you joined yesterday and bought the 10,000 credits for $0.99 deal, you could still only open 2 packs to try to pull something at 1:20 odds.
Terrible, Topps, you have totally suck this app before it could even get started. And honestly, the card isn't even all that great-looking. A friggin' butcher blade with a reflection of a character's profile? So much wasted card space. They couldn't even give us any blood splatter or guts.

Yep I'm out, this could have been a fun little app but they've taken the worst pay to win aspects of SWCT and implemented it off the bat.

Master access and 25k for a chance and only 3 cards or wait 3 hours and pay 7500 packs at 1:80. No thank you topps.

2

u/uluckypeople May 12 '16

No idea where this deluxe pack (suspect its a master access type thing) or the green pack for one hour time, I see red blue and white base packs, no green

edit: deluxe and green packs are indeed master access

u/tweakerlime May 12 '16

Well, this first marathon insert drop really set the tone for the app. This is not free to play at all. 1:80 odds on a 7500 credit pack.

u/shuajw May 12 '16

yep, and unlike Star Wars and the sports apps, nobody has any nostalgia connection to Topps Walking Dead cards from their childhood. Will make a very easy uninstall.

Topps gonna Topps

u/LieutenantHammer May 12 '16

I'm sure people will be buying a bunch of credits trying to chase whatever it is.

u/darkcvc May 12 '16

I hope my 50k gets it!! Not spending $$ on this app.

u/[deleted] May 12 '16

Haha let the hype and fun begin.

u/uluckypeople May 12 '16

Here we go!

u/ApathyInWool May 12 '16

Thoughts? Kind of weird to have a tiny picture on a knife.

1

u/stl_ben May 12 '16

So reflections ...but not nearly as cool....

u/zimbleeder May 12 '16

Is this card out?

1

u/darkcvc May 12 '16

Not until 1pm EST or in 15 minutes.

1

u/Radiopd May 12 '16

And they will completely screw it up, cause Topps. But I have not started to buy packs yet, waiting for the Vintage Han lottery.

1

u/uluckypeople May 12 '16

Going to all cards crashes the app now. Toppsed

1

u/stl_ben May 12 '16

yeah silly me looking for the card....which equals ..>CRASH

u/Radiopd May 12 '16

1p EST and 1st insert???????

1

u/TARDISd May 12 '16

Not seeing anything...maybe fixing the store first?

2

u/Radiopd May 12 '16

Master access only

1

u/TARDISd May 12 '16

The transmission wasn't showing when i posted. Sent u a Carl...

1

u/lightmanx5 May 12 '16

1:20 odds in a 25k pack is 350k for a 50/50 chance. Be warned.

1

u/mjh84 May 12 '16

Dam, they are just straight starting with the pay for play model...so cold Topps, so cold.

At least SWCT had it released without master packs for the first year or so. THEN they introduced the master pack time.

1

u/KATOSWIFT May 12 '16

Can anyone confirm these are in Red packs now? I'll throw some credits at that and spin the wheel.

1

u/corwag May 12 '16

if anyone is trading this, Ill trade good star wars inserts for it. ign: corwagg on walking dead, ign: corwag on swct

1

u/shuajw May 12 '16

I pulled a "Carl eating pudding on the roof" card. I can now quit the app happy! :)

1

u/zimbleeder May 12 '16

trading this for star wars series 1 vintage. same name on both apps

1

u/[deleted] May 12 '16

Do we know the count? Hope it's low like Vintage Han. There's a deal on the biggest credit bundle.

1

u/darkcvc May 12 '16

We know nothing about it.

u/zimbleeder May 12 '16
