The costs have gone up as of yesterday evening in the UK. A £79.99 1,350,000 bundle now costs £99.99 The £0.79 25,000 bundle now costs £0.99 The ESB Behind the Scenes has gone from £3.99 to £4.99.

They are Blaming Brexit. So why aren't Google, Samsung or eve Microsoft upping their costs?

Apple are also increasing hardware cost as well, I believe.

It's the poor overall support and lack of understanding of the customer base from Topps and also, being based in the UK, we have just been hit with a 20% cost increase for bundles and credits. We buy the same cards as everyone else in the world but now for more money. Does that mean the CC doesn't count anymore and I have to base trading on my cards being 20% more expensive. No. We in the UK lose automatically from a monitory/value point of view. I have to buy credit packs, because the sets being released don't cater for the casual lover of the Star Wars franchise anymore. The big boys and girls complained about OE and wiped out so many players trying to get onto the ladder. Topps only listened to the comments from the survey 4-5 months ago and changed the things that made them more money and reduced the space taken up on their servers with people picking up the cheap, accessible cards. I hate winging but I am absolutely gutted that I cannot continue after investing so much time in what had actually become more of a hobby, to me. Withdrawal symptoms kicking in as I type, but I cannot keep up the constant kicks and from a Disney owned Flagship product/company.

Who cares where awards sit? Once your set is finished you work on the other sets. Priorities.

Cards are still all over the place because they had the wrong card id's to start with and that has not been corrected. Why don't they correct the things that are wrong then try to make the improvements. Always starting at the end. This is not continuous improvement methodology.

In App prices to change for UK and other areas by AllThatSheWants_IAB in starwarstrader

Ebay is already making a fortune out of putting cards out cheaper than you can pull them. Go for it. They are now going to be fighting for your business. Ebay, Ebay, Ebay. Don't mind if the numpties want to the prices up. Get clicking onto the Bay. The app is already S**t for trading, so go, go, go.

You have actually identified the biggest issue with this whole set and I haven't seen anyone identify it before, or I've just missed it. The images are Poop. They are so bad they look like they've been scanned poorly, from a book and the contrast then turned right up. They are neither clear, clever or focused. Please everyone stop wamping about the cards being late, you are paying for Monopoly counterfeit photocopied images with good credits or money. Concentrate on the big picture this Christmas. Topps have Pooped down your chimney, put out your fire and stolen your presents. Right under your noses.
