Well living in Finland makes this quest very interesting to me! But we are talking here about US GPKs distributed in Europe or a new European release? We are talking about getting the U.S cards distributed to the European market and making what already exists readily available . We need GPK to crusade to Europe !!

So that's the question .... I emailed the U.K service team at Topps to find out. Seeing that GPK's are more popular than ever, I was hopeful that the U.K would see a return and thought I'd atleast show an interest . here is the answer direct from Topps ... Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we no longer hold the appropriate license to distribute the requested card collection within the UK. I do not hold nay information regarding a ban on the product. The collection is still available directly from our US office. Please contact the New York based office directly using the link provided below: www.topps.com/customer-service/topps-com-support.html#faq-contactRegards Ela Greenfield Customer Service So I emailed back and asked if they planned to ever get a licence in light of the growing popularity of these cards ... I explained that the postage Topps was charging was far too high to ever attract the average collector in the U.K and expressed my frustration in the nicest way possible. This is what I got back ... Thank you for your email. I have passed the matter over to our production and marketing team for further consideration. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused. Regards Ela Greenfield Customer Service This was a couple of months ago now so if you're from the u.k and frustrated with lack of GPK in the u.k it might be worth constructing a nice email and sending it on . Just maybe if they receive enough interest they might atleast make them available online for us to buy direct from Topps U.K . It would be great to see them in retail but I think we have a greater chance of them making them available in the U.K online . If you have ordered hobby boxes from the U.S then you will know about the postage and how much this effects the overall purchase numbers and how many boxes we buy. Much of the U.K collectors GPK fund goes into just the postage instead of packs to bust open which is a shame . Topps could do with a distributer in Europe so us Europeans can all get a slice of the GPK cake . If you email Topps u.k make sure you post up any replies here so we can all see the response . I'd be interested to see if it's exactly the same . TCK . You are a HERO !! a PIONEER !!! You are from now on our VISIONARY LEADER... i can sense the force is strong within you.. Im gonna follow your example...... Lets start this revolution .... Ill send them so many emails that they'll get sick of me.... You are English, im Dutch. Let this be the start of a new alliance !!!!... Ask not what the UG can do for YOU......ask what YOU can do for the UG.... LETS DO THIS....lol Thanks for reading ! I don't know if it will do any good but we can certainly try by expressing our interest . Here's where I emailed ...... info@toppsdirect.com

Dear God... please someone take away the crayola crayons from S. Taylor's son!... this has to be THE WORST GP...sorry it does not deserve even to use that adjective...the WORST DOODLE drawn in GPK history! For the next series please someone tell THE COMPANY to put it in the hire contract for the sketch artist and the BLIND person who approve them:...It doesn't count that you only sign the cards YOU have to be sober and don't accept any assistance from your 2 year's son! and again nothing personal against the artist but COME ON! The thing that gets me the most about this sketch are the rough pencil lines that have been left In !! Looks awful . I wouldn't pay money for this out of principle because I could do better myself . Why would I want a signed sketch card that was actually garbage ! I'd be gutted if I'd paid $30 for a hot pack and pulled this . I'm surprised by the quality to be fair

Feedback : Positive Type : Trade Size : Small Comments : Great first trade with Edmasta !!! Ed sent me some OS cards and threw in some extra goodies too which was a sweet surprise. Really appreciated and very fast postage . I hope I can trade again with Edmasta as it was smoother than a glossy backed OS card . Great in every way .

I liked the 1st season , missed most of the second season, but the latest I have really got into it . I've enjoyed the plot alot more , the walkers have been great and I like the concept if the settlement and the prison . I definitely want the box set so I can watch them all again .
