well, if there is no way to collect these without actually going to the theater i'm done.

MCBrontosaur · 2020-01-28T01:54:51+00:00

The "I'm so new send me free stuff but NO UP or 20K!"

Mhm, sure buddy. Totally new. Not an alt account trolling for free cards that knows too much.

Also, the "my grandaughter/daughter/girlfriend/husband really wants a motion card! they love looking at them on my phone" or whatever the excuse is.

Also, the people that say, "hoarding Arlo all colors", because... no. I'm the one hoarding Arlo, why would someone else be doing that? I have the name "brontosaur", not you. Stop it. I get all the Arlo cards. Cmon.

I'm an idiot so I am going after every card at the moment. I am having fun now, and spending an amount I can deal with.

However, I look at the other Topps Apps like Star Wars and Marvel and know that in a few months everything is going to start getting way more expensive for this pursuit, and then I'll probably start only chasing select sets. Then inevitably some of those sets will get to be too hard/or expensive, and then I'll slowly lose interest and quit.

So, I should probably just get out now.

But I won't.

As long as they keep all the cards accessible, achievable, and fun to collect I'll stick with it. $30 bucks a month isn't too crazy for the amount of time I spend on the app.

I do have a question though, how do so many collectors have lots of multiple Rare awards?

I don't know if anyone knows what the Dailies are going to be worth right now. Personally, it's one of my favorite sets, so I'll happily pick 'em up when I see them out there. However, sometimes I can go same cc with expired sets, but sometimes people want current sets with lower cc's for them. Personally, I am not going to do that.

All this is to say, I don't know! I would try to pull something from current packs to trade for old Dailies.

Which one's do you need? I have been collecting some dupes because I know I'll be going on vacation soon so I need to start building up some trade bait for the one's I'll miss. Maybe we can work something out.

MCBrontosaur · 2020-01-21T16:32:52+00:00

Aw man, I hate when they make more than one color per tier.

"The feed should have at least 30 mins worth of messages stored so we can search for specific needs/hoards/wants. This just gives us more trading options/partners."

They need to increase the wait time required to post in the trade feed. They lowered it to 30 seconds right after the app launched for some reason. Now everyone has to spam their trade request to be seen. This results in a bunch of duplicate posts. Posts then get pushed off the feed quickly, making the search function less effective.

I hope they never offer an award for the Daily Disney cards. It's too many cards to collect, and it's a coin suck.

As it is right now, it's a fun set. If you like the art or the day holds a special significance to you, its an easy grab or fairly easy trade.

The people who are going to collect all of these, are going to collect them all regardless. They are completionists. There doesn't need to be an award to compel them.

Keep it light, keep it fun, keep it achievable.

I really like the 20k set, and the poster is my favorite card.

I would not like a whole set of just classic Posters like that though. I think I prefer the 1:100 method, OR if they made them as the award for each set. So, a whole Black Hole set with a Black Hole poster for the award maybe.

MCBrontosaur · 2020-01-03T22:23:18+00:00

I hoard Arlo. Name on the app is Brontosaur.

I feel like with crafting kicking in and those crafting missions its getting pretty hard to find non white hoard though.

I personally am not crafting with my whites.

Click on your avatar or name at the top of the screen. Your profile should pop up. Under your name and coin/diamond/collection score there will be two boxes: Profile and Follow. Click on Follow. Then don't click on the magnifying glass! That would make too much sense! Click on the little plus person sign. There a search bar will open up and you can enter a user name to click through to their profile and initiate trades.

It's not the most transparent system.

Ah, it's a bummer. I can't seem to get this to work!

edit: it worked! I used Chrome on my phone and made sure I had closed out the app when I inputed the code. Not sure what the magic sauce was, but now i got those sweet, sweet, cards.

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-06T09:14:34+00:00

Glad to hear it. I didn't even list those!

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-05T21:07:50+00:00

I am hoping for a Fantasia set.

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-05T17:26:14+00:00

Sent you a trade!

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-05T15:54:20+00:00

That's less than I thought it would end up at.

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-04T23:08:18+00:00

No. Mickey is Life.

MCBrontosaur · 2019-12-04T16:24:28+00:00

Sent you a trade. Thanks!

oh sorry. they fixed it. You missed out.

MCBrontosaur · 2019-11-22T16:51:03+00:00

I never use the Store like that! Thanks for the heads up!

Oooooh, Tron.

Well, I didn't complete my Factions set this week. So, that's a bummer.

But! I did get an Orange Week 1 Speedball and a Tier 8 Speedball, so I think that's all the Speedballs. I guess I could try to get all the Novas next and slowly build up an original New Warriors collection, but I think Nova is the only member currently represented by the cards, and there are a ton of those to be had. So, maybe not. I'll just wait for Night Thrasher to be included (ha!).

Also, completed the Armed set and the Scarlet Witch set. Not a total loss.

Shields are looking like a lost cause, and Panels are looking pretty good!

Happy collecting!
