Got, Got, Need...Panini World Cup

[WalkerboyUK]

Just opened my three online packs. 10 out of 15 were swaps. Infuriating.

Same here..... However I decided to set up a swap which let any of my Spain or Columbia spares go for Bosnia players - resulted in 6 new stickers coming in!!!

Finished Mexico 86. Still my greatest achievement in life. So obviously I have no kids to use as an excuse either

Bah. Your greatest achievement was not having kids.

And there was me thinking I was doing well at 62%!

Good swapping so far this morning. Started the day with only 3 Bosnia players/stickers.
Now only need Pjanic to complete the set.

EDIT: Bosnia now complete.....
Typical that my bonus pack for completing them was 5 that I've already got.

Am on a roll with swaps today - somewhere between 15 & 20 swaps done all via the automatic stuff.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Have had absolute beast of a day swapping.... Started the day with over 40 in my swap pile, now down to 13!!!
Completed teams:
Cameroon, Spain, Australia, Greece, England, Bosnia, USA, Belgium, Algeria, South Korea.

So it's quite realistic then?

Making good use of that collectors group then

I can't figure out how to use that......
Set one up the other day offering my whole stack, but got bugger all out of it, whereas the public one has worked a treat.
Just completed another swap in last 5 mins too!

EDIT: Down to 10 left to swap! What the hell am I going to do with my time once I've completed it???

I guess the chances of matching off against the group are quite small as there's only seven of us. I've had quite a few off Nferno though - it helps that's he's listed all his swaps so we can set-up the swaps easily.
I've had quite a few public swaps today as well. It seems to be much quicker all round today.

Down to only 6 left in my swap pile - not bad considering I had over 40 this morning.
Got 4 packs sat waiting to be opened due to completing teams this evening, but they have to wait until tomorrow now as I've done my "5 a day".
Miles away from completing Brazil, Germany, Italy and France though.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Went to bed last night with 5 left in my swap pile, down to 1 this morning.
Now completed Holland, Croatia & Argentina.
Had 10 packs in my pile this morning and can only open 5. Lo and behold I needed just 3 out of the 25 stickers, so a nice stack of swaps to sort out today!

 

[nferno]

i was under the impression the whole group gets a free pack each time a person in the group completes their first team team like last WC

got a few swaps with robbiedee and luke_n, what i've still got left;

The public swaps seems really fast now. They literally come through within minutes of setting up the request.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

My swap pile was empty by 6pm last night. Will be starting the day with 11 packs.... And no doubt 20+ swaps from those. Target today is to get Ronaldo as he is all I need to finish Portugal, and also get a few Brazil players.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

They need to increase the number of packs you can open in a day.... 5 isn't enough!
I've opened 5 today and currently have 11 packs that I can't touch.
Only needed 2 out of today's 25 stickers but successfully swapped the other 23.
Of course that resulted in me finishing more teams (and completing the fan stickers) which means more unopenable packs.

If anyone is doing the actualy sticker album, I have 230 swaps which I would be happy to post - PM me if interested. I need to complete this before my friend because, well, because I'm horribly competitive

My kids are doing it very casually.... They get maybe 2 packs per week and just swap with eachother

 

[nailsy]

I can't get the stickers - they seem to be sold out everywhere. Probably because people buy boxes these days rather than packs.

If you get the Australia fan sticker look at it in close up and see if you spot anything unusual.
