I actually smiled when I saw some of these . It’s been a while, maybe this will be the redeemer.

These look just as bad as the previous releases. Then again most of the previews are from Brent and I hate his style. They should have selected a card from every different artist to show variety.

They had Brent do a bunch for the ads before the rest of us started. I like his cards. Especially the Centipede card.

Look, I know we’ve seen some terrible releases lately , but these are really at least some great concepts so far. They really do look like a path in the right direction. Very much in the style of OS , not quite CPK look though, or at least BNS. I will expect that 2018 will be the light at the end of the tunnel, especially if they work in chrome 3. We have to hope it gets better, 2016-17 has been bad for GPK and the country so far.

Isn't there enough hate going on in this country? Can't we have a set with a more positive theme? Nice going, Topps. Way to spread more hate.

That's absolutely true about the name of the set. I cannot understand why they would go for We hate the 80s. Nevermind the stupid political hate going on in the US, it just sounds bad. Maybe they could have titled it as The gross 80s? None of the prior newer sets had a word in their title that was negative. It just shits on the 80s which was an amazing time for us who lived it.

It's a shame there's no effort put into backgrounds anymore. They look so lifeless. But yeah the centipede one is cool, just wish the art was better.

The art seemed okay to me so far. I haven't bought any GPK in a while, but I may get this set simply for the 80s references.

From what I see nothing really stands out to me except the Lowell Isaac sketches, he has a great style.

I think since the phrase is usually "We love the 80s," Topps is just putting a GPK spin on it using "hate" instead since everything in the GPK world is supposed to be gross, nasty, mean, etc.

I believe the title came from the VH1 "I Love The 80s" theme. Brent pointed out it works better as "I Loathe The 80s"
Brent did all the preview cards while Jungwha did the wrappers.

Not convinced, looks like a step in the right direction but we'll see.
At the end of the day, no matter how bad it is, I know I'll end up getting a set anyway

Any one else think the hole in the ozone layer character would have fitted better in the Adam-geddon series

Topps is still after them scheckles, eh? An 80's themed set is right up GPK's alley and yet, Topps still misses the mark.😟

I'm surprised they resurrected the ankle warmer concept. Wasn't the first time painful enough?

I like the basic idea this set has. An 80's themed set would have the potential to be a good one. But the art and execution will leave a lot to be desired, if these previews are any indication. Sad that these interesting ideas are completely wasted by Topps' total incompetence.
