Nice to see these Countries allowing Panini to use their logos!!! 😉 Seriously though, these look really nice. Love the colors!
Love the idea. How hard are the autographs to get though? Makes it sound like it’s not 1 per box and paying $100+ for a box without any guaranteed hits will hurt.
Wow!!!! Can I reserve a box 🙂
Is it April yet? 🙂
I think they will not be less then $100 a box for sure and autos that’s a tough one! Just imagine opening a pack of a Messi or Ronaldo or even better Pele
I just like that Panini is bringing great products to the US and this is awesome
Finally! And the mock-ups looks so nice I don’t know what to do?! I have been waiting for this for so long! Thanks Panini!
will there be a retail version?
Yes, sir.
Hope these Boxes are available in Europe, Soccers Major Market….
Awesome stuff!
Been waiting for a World Cup product of this calibre for a long time.
Are these going to be sold in the birthplace of Football ?
OMG, okay these are awesome. As a Tottenham Hotspur I want a Klinsmann auto. Are there any English soccer legends in the product? Can`t wait for the release.
which english soccer legends??? shilton, pearce, beckham, world cup legends!!!
Awesome!! Not the biggest soccer fan but its a very tempting offer with those names in it!
I have a hard decision between the stickers and the cards
Wowza this stuff is absolutely disgusting ( in a good way ) I’ve been waiting for this for as long as I’ve been a soccer fan which has been forever. Thank you panini for bringing this to life. Well there goes the 2nd mortgage on my house. I will defiantly get my hands on this stuff. Hope it won’t be to hard to find up in Canada.
Hi: Do you know where can i find the fifa world cup brasil 2014 panini stickers in Canada? I am Mexican and I am moving to Vancouver next week, I have collected the albums since the world cup in 1990, I am afraid this time i wont be able to complete it
Thanks for any inforormation
Most major retail outlets will have them.
Thank you Tracy Hackler.
Good thing they made that mascot card…couldn’t live without that one.
looks EPIC!! I hope they will be available for sale outside the U.S.
Do you have any idea what the price we’ll be and is it guaranted any autos?Thank You!
SRP is $5 per pack; hobby boxes will have 24 packs, retail hangers will have four packs.
This looks to be the best World Cup release ever, probably the best football release ever. Any idea when the full auto checklist will be released?
This is what I’m waiting for to buy something on the WC14, no teddy bear, caps or t-shirts, cards is the way to go. Doesn’t take place in the house and in 2034 WC, I’m gonna take a box to show to my little kids who’s this old man 20 years ago when they gonna see Messi, CR7 and all the others. Nice work.
Really hope this is available in Canada.
This is looking pretty awesome, I can not wait to bust some packs.
I love this!!!!
Great collection. Really looking forward to collecting I wrote an article about this on my site
http://www.cardzreview.com/panini-prizm-2014-fifa-world-cup/
This actually looks really nice!
YES, this is awesome that finally World Cup players have cards and autos. Hoping that there are more German Player autos like Klose, Podolski, Ballack, Schweinsteiger
🙂
How about the odds for the autograph cards?
Tentatively one every other box but will confirm as we get closer to release.
These are going to be a huge hit!
omg this is huge some people dont know but panini is a pioneer in soccer album stickers,now with cards this is awesome,i never missed a world cup album sicker since i was 4 years old boy,!!!cant wait for cards
How about the odds for the autograph cards?
As far we know Panini is not saying there will be guaranteed one autograph per box. And with boxes retailing for well over 125 bucks where is the incentive to buy a box which might not have any autographs at all?
Normally a box of cards will go for 50 – 80 bucks. To charge double that for no memorabilia or autographs per box isn’t very good marketing. In fact it’s rather insulting to the fans.
Sure there are some great cards in this collection but let’s give the fans a little something in every box for their hard earned cash after we part with it!
Do you know how many countries will be featured?
All teams participating in the World Cup are represented.
Anyone know if it will be released in some other country?
This product looks fantastic and I definitely wanna pick up a couple of boxes but would like to know the final checklist first.
Any chance we could get the official checklist?
Are the autographs authenticated?
Absolutely.
Are the autographs real ones?
Absolutely.
Does anyone know if there is a collector album available like the UEFA and Road to brazil albums? My 10 yr old has spent all his Christmas and birthday money buying these cards for the last 4 years. I was very excited to get him a box for his bday but am worried he will not have a place to store them or the checklist so he can obsess about the cards he hasnt received yet:)
En Colombia se pueden conseguir?
I wanna buy’em all
