Went to Target yesterday to they didn't have any yet. So much for release day. It depends on what day the vendors restock the shelves. Stores like Target use 3rd party vendors to handle the card aisle. Target isn't bound by official release dates for GPK.

Has anyone actually pulled a Goldberg Auto yet?? Odds are crazy, but I have pulled two printing plates so far, but no Goldberg Auto

I’m more interested in the odds of getting a card with a character that even remotely looks like a GPK. Haha!!! Good one, Steve!!

Here is an image of the entire set (spoilers obviously) I like a few of them. Many of them are really bad. And the reused concepts! Ugh...

Anyone know who the artist is who does their GPKs with really yellowish skin tones? Those are really bad!

Got my blaster box today, still waiting on my complete set from eBay. The reused concepts must be IM’s bread and butter, as they are horrible. I actually lol’d at a few of these, for the first time in a while. Still no sightings at East Tennesee Target stores.

Here is an image of the entire set (spoilers obviously) -> Looking a this set - in all of its glory, there was some real potential here given the subjects. I imagine a group of comedy writters getting together with a list of these would be able to bounce ideas off of each other and come up with some pretty good gags. I know it would cost more money but this whole existing Topps artist who is sending in his 1258th concept cause that's his meal ticket is just coming up lame, never mind the artistic execution by who ever gets to paint them. Fugg are these people retarded? Why do I feel like I could do better, the guy down the street could do better, certainly if you hired some talent this could be better. It's not all absolute crap but man. Whoever did the duck hunt card should be ashamed of themselves....Mark's upcoming card with basically the same concept is way better.

Lovin-IT! I was in 1st grade when Muscle Men were a thing for that 1 minute in time, I always wondered why trapper keepers aren't still a thing, and still pray that Simmons will sweat again with us after his housekeeper and brother allegedly let him go.
Awesome set. Wish there was a gummi shoe/gummi bracelet one specific to that trend.
Definitely better then Battle, but I find they grow with age, and I am enjoying Battle now more then when first released.
Thanks Aligator for the pic.
YES STILL FRAKIN HATE that there is no backs and peel here and die cut....I mean, they were supposed to go back to the 80's for this set and missed the collectors mark.
Hopefully they have a part 2 and go 80's old school with those gpk trademarks and there is still so much 80's to mine.

So yeah, this set is a piece of crap like the other themed sets. I like about 5 cards, which is 5 cards more than I liked in the Battle of the Bands set. This set suffers from really bad concepts, too many rehashed concepts and extremely bad naming. Some of the art is really bad, the Pee Wee, Madonna and Duck Hunt are just absolute s**t, just to name a few. Also, does anyone really give a fugg about the Goldbergs?

the art on the pee wee is actualy ok with me .but when I lok at it ? I say ? ok ? where is the gag ? I just don't get it .......... its simply a cartoon pic of pee wee herman in some kind of stuffed animal thing with blood in it and the Goldberg subjects ? once again I don't get it ......... didn't we have a prince card already in battle of the bands ? in we hate the 80's he is on a tricycle ? once again ....... where is the gag ? these are not gpk's

There are a couple good ones in here but on a whole, not so good. I really like the milk carlton, but wtf is wrong with those hands! billo check out the card in the upper right Good god, enough already! Ok, maybe just recycle this one more time- Jimbo, can we get a "Topps Sucks" card with a photo shop of Colin unzipping himself to reveal a stack of $. ...didn't we have a prince card already in battle of the bands ? in we hate the 80's he is on a tricycle ? once again ....... where is the gag ? these are not gpk's Of the few cards i like from this set, Layron's Prince card is one of them. Its a spoof on the Purple Rain album cover.

Ok so it took Target 2 weeks to get in Battle and I am patiently waiting, so I can get a unopened pack for my "unopened pack binder" and a awesome opened pack wrapper to front my series, plus extras to stick my faves on the binder cover and inside. __________________
JUST GOT MINE IN from Ebay! My reaction?
Well first I sorted them from behind. So I could not see their faces. They were only numbers to me and I went in order that Barron Aarons checklist said I should.
After each subset went into protection, I flipped them over to see what was working with.
I got tingles down my leg on each subset!
This series got me the most excited since ANS 1! And I think it is the best set since OS 15!!!!
Although I hate the theme series in general and other things I have mentioned in the past, I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hope they do a part two to this!!!!!
There are so many good ideas that have been floated by fans.
Like where's the pogo-ball? And Tiffany the robot from Small Wonder?
Anywho, sooo glad I FINALLY enjoyed myself all over this set!

What are "Comments about the newly released trash being pawned of as GPKs"?
