Wow Topps website has been updated and the full Sketch artist list is up and TIM SALE  is a confirmed artist I have just upped my order even though my chances of pulling one of his sketches is miniscule  with the expected auto list and not to mention the other excellent artists already on board I cant wait for this set.  |

Can whoever emailed me requesting information on UK suppliers do one of two things, email me again or send me a PM here, because I have lost your mail in a server hicup. I was going to respond but then it was gone!
Cheers,
Jason

I just found out today that Topps has delayed shipping Heroes (original ship date was 10/15) for at least a month and several large distributors told me it has been delayed to December. Apparently Topps was not able to get all of the autos back in time for pack insertion and they do not want to issue redemption cards either.

Part of the reason for the delay is also the sketch cards whereby too many were being rejected and they have to get new ones done.
In any case, the new revised date is around dec 7 - 12.

A while back, Topps announced that all of the main cast would sign. Unfortunately, that probably won't happen. Many of the actors refused to sign because they didn't think they were offered enough money. Topps paid big bucks for the license, so NBC/Universal had to get involved. There are six autos so far: James Kyson Lee (Ando), Santiago Cabrera (Isaac), Noah Gray-Cabey (Micah), Milo Ventimiglia (Peter), Masi Oka (Hiro), and Zachary Quinto (Syler). We should see more, but it will take time to finish negotiations with each actor, and get the stickers signed, returned, and inserted in packs.
The estimate is a mid-December release, but the date has not been confirmed.

Topps has been rejecting sketches? I'm actually shocked. Anyone remember the lousy 3-4 line sketches that came out of some of the LOTR boxes? Great cards, Ingrid. Especially nuclear Peter. |

Topps didn't reject the sketches, NBC/Universal did. It was pretty surprising, since the artists involved are quite good.

Awesome - Hiro is so my favourite character - but don't tell me anything - I'm only just catching up on all this after Boggy forced me to buy the DVDs after we last met - I'm about 1/2 way through season 1  |

As of today, Topps hasn't announced autos of any of the women on the show. There is talk about allocation of product, though. |

At the Philly Non Sports show a couple different people were told at the Topps booth that they are activly pursueing both Claire and Nikki to sign for the set, and that they just have not gotten the autos back yet...so there is prob a pretty good chance that Hayden will be signing. Yeah, I heard about the allocation as well, I hope my 5 cases I perordered before a single signer was known are still confirmed |

That's good news about the cast "eventually" signing, thanks for the update Bryanjs14 & kbmum.
What's this allocation talk all about???

Allocation means that the manufacturer has more case orders than the number of cases they're going to produce. Topps will deliver to distributors only a percentage of the cases that they ordered. It could mean that if a dealer ordered 10 cases, they might get only seven or nine.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on these boards, so I thought I'd share some of my Heroes cards with you, for those that haven't seen them yet.  To view my 6 returned cards, click here: *****My 6******Thanks! Cynthia |
