On a week that saw a broken Evolution drop that resulted in the first Apology Variant" in SWCT since the reign of ToppsSteve and an Autograph drop that went out in TWD with no transmission that resulted in another "Apology Variant" it's no surprise that Huddle's kind of a mess this week too. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Apparently they decided to replace all the watercoolers with big bowls of spiked eggnog and the managers went on vacation. Everything has been pretty jacked up and people are pretty pi$$ed at Topps. So par for the course. Marathons wave three ended and unlike previous waves they have yet to issue any awards. Past waves have ended and promptly awarded the following monday, NO GUITAR MERCY! That was the expectation set. No awards have come and no sign of them coming any time soon. Topps Finest also wrapped up with Wave three last weekend with deadlines set in transmission and stated times for awards to be issued.......and no awards for those have come either. Especially egregious considering the real money paid by their whales for the Gold Variant inserts at 10 bucks a pop. It's not all bad news, their 12 days promotion for Christmas has been one of the most generous of all the Topps apps with decent free cards and some pretty exciting things to chase in daily packs. The one turd in the punchbowl was the Mood chase which is a fairly popular set which for 12 Days offered a free card in one of 5 variants of the most glum and miserable looking Jay Cutler with a 48 hour limit to collect all five for a signed variant. Of course that went off without a hitch and the signature of the player that pretty much everyone hates went out right on time. Perfect. The one usual shining light despite product problems is usually contests but even those have been jacked up. Last week's "Premium All Day Sunday" contest got off to a roaring start by including the Thursday night and Saturday night games, crippling anyone who joined on Sunday's chances of ever winning an award. But they made it up to them by then not counting any scores for the Sunday Night game. FML, seriously guys? They ended up quietly refunding coins spent to join but only to people who opened tickets. Wow. One would assume at some point they will run out of alcohol, the bosses will come back with nice suntans and they will hustle around to try and catch up. That always goes well. UPDATE: @Doctor_Flammond WRITES: 1h1 hour ago@TedSallis Good points - Awards still missing for Valor, Vapor, marathons as well. Agree about the great freebies this week though.
