What do you mean with "extra special packet"?

I bought but didn't open it, but in my opinion should be just a 'normal' packet with OMAGGIO on the back side

yes Gaspare, you're right! of course special stickers about FILM of GIRO can be done late, when Giro d'Italia will start! this is just a packet for free

I don't know why, but at least in Panini Portugal and Spain, Panini is letting collectors ask for stickers and cards of this (though we never got the collection)... Happened the same in Copa America 2015.

They had a lot of people from Spain and others countries asking for the collection. So they saw and opportunity to make a lot of more money.

So now they're selling online too? I'm seeing album + box on sale too, very unusual from Panini to also sell like this online (except on their international store)... Not bad at all, at least they're giving the opportunity to all cycling fans.

Yes. I was waiting for the complete collection (cheaper way to finish it), but they released to a lot of countries.

BTW, I'm portuguese, even if I'm in Spain nowadays.
