This is a pretty big mess up. Not totally catastrophic. But somewhat big.

In response, Wax released their own statement.

The first 5% is a launch recap.

The other 95% describes the error.

IMO the statement is more disturbing than the error.

You can& #39;t:

1. Blame customers for not reading the fine print &
2. Ignore that you were the source of the bad info

Wax& #39;s official position appears to be: "customers should read the fine print to avoid the misinformation being spread by the company& #39;s own community managers"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🕵️" title="Detektiv(in)" aria-label="Emoji: Detektiv(in)">
They also pushed a lot of blame on Topps https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚾️" title="Baseball" aria-label="Emoji: Baseball">

I wonder what the Topps people think of this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

Topps has let Wax handle most of the communication so far, I wonder if that& #39;ll continue https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

It& #39;s kind of....strange(?) that Wax used the explanation of the error to state its superiority to Flow.

This is the concluding paragraph.
The statement has not been well received so far among those that read it.

(See Discord reactions & the top comment on the post)
There are other fairness/transparency issues bubbling as well, we& #39;ll see how/if they decide to address them.

These would be more significant if true, but it& #39;s unclear.

This isn& #39;t to say the drop has been a failure at all. There is plenty of demand & prices are only going up https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

However, Topps& #39; lack of involvement & community investment concern me.

This project has made millions, I hope they re-invest it in improving & growing a community https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤠" title="Gesicht mit Cowboyhut" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Cowboyhut">
