Yeah, I noticed some hours ago and asked Alan to clarify some doubts... If what he wrote is really true, then that promo is completely ridiculous.Does anyone know about Ferencvaros cards?

FERENCVAROS
I bought one of this box: The festive Box, and a half hour later, it was sold out. Unbelievable!It is frightening which direction they are heading in at Topps UK. It is okay for me to publish various individual sets on specific players or topics.
But tearing apart a collection like Match Attax in this way is a terrible development.
I can live with the fact that there are adapted editions with additional teams in different countries. Makes collecting more difficult (especially after Topps is constantly sold out in their own online shop), but it is still possible to collect all cards in the collection.
But this recent constant publication of cards from this collection in extra products with limited quantities or as an addition to promotional items from other manufacturers is a disaster. Especially because these products are hard to get for normal collectors. Quite apart from the fact that Topps in the meantime apparently sees collectors outside of the UK as second-class collectors and many products are not even offered outside of the UK.
Good example: The Festive Box from a few days ago. Was sold out in a very short time and is now being offered by the usual speculators at completely inflated prices. Why does Topps put UCL Match Attax Cards in this box? Cards as a set in a different layout that do not belong to an existing collection would be ok, but that way they belong to the Match Attax collection and very few can collect them.
And the continuation is now with the Ferencvaros Cards ...
Definitely the worst Match Attax collection of all time (besides the one just mentioned, numerous reasons have been mentioned before that I certainly don't have to repeat again).
I got a message from UK ebay to add VAT for my listings, because in 2021, they'll charge whenever I sell to a UK customer... Ridiculous.I bought one of this box: The festive Box, and a half hour later, it was sold out. Unbelievable!
But I think Topps UK will have a problem with the exit of the European Union by UK. Now we can buy without paying custom taxes, but in 2021, maybe, we have to pay them if UK and EU havent reached any agreement about this.
Somehow I get the feeling that Topps won't be prepared for this. But where should they get the time from, they have to release a new rookie set every other dayBut I think Topps UK will have a problem with the exit of the European Union by UK.

Followed your conversation with Alan. That underscores what I said above. Hardly accessible for normal collectors outside of Hungary, as Lapker only sells locally with the RELAY and Inmedio stores and, like the whole group to which they belong, they have so far completely slept through the online business. This means that everyone from whom you can buy it online first had to buy it there and then resell it with a surcharge. You can see where this is going with the first offers on ebay, which are around $ 70 for such a set.About Ferencvaros, it seems like this:
Weren't they printing in Italy? Or have changed recently to UK?Somehow I get the feeling that Topps won't be prepared for this. But where should they get the time from, they have to release a new rookie set every other day
About a year ago it was said that they were looking for a print shop in Germany, after massive problems with the one in England. That would avoid the problem if they were to supply mainland Europe, for example, from Germany. Since the On Demand and Now Sets are still being delivered from the UK and Print me is still deactivated for Germany, they probably haven't found anything yet.

I think only the complete series like Match Attax are printed in Italy, the short-term stuff in the UK.Weren't they printing in Italy? Or have changed recently to UK?
Go there now, Topps has added again but in a mega bundle of £30:Is there a way to get the festive box somehow ? I tried couple hours after it went live and was already sold out. Will it be available again ?
I'm looking for the 7 Legend cards, is it an exclusive set for that box only ?
Plus shipping cost, about 10-15 pounds, it is so expensive!Go there now, Topps has added again but in a mega bundle of £30:
Thanks dantzig ! I bought 2 bags for me and a friend.Go there now, Topps has added again but in a mega bundle of £30:

I would like to get a new Festive Box, but it is impossible
It's one of my "battles" with Topps, their shipping for "foreigners" is completely ridiculous... fortunately I have a wonderful friend helping me in UK, so I didn't pay anything and he'll send me everything later.Thanks dantzig ! I bought 2 bags for me and a friend.
Yeah, shipping killed us - 40 pounds to Israel![]()
