PRICE: There were two ways to purchase this release. The sets could be purchased directly from the Topps website for $19.99, or in a lot of 10 for $179.99
INFORMATION: Topps already had success with both a retail and online release of both 'We Hate the 80s' and 'We Hate the 90s' sets...so it only made sense to take a stab at the 70s. And that's exactly what they did in the form of weekly ‘online exclusive’ sets. From their website: "Topps and Garbage Pail Kids are taking it back a few decades with six 70s themed 10-card sets: We Hate the 70s. Look for some of your favorite, and least favorite, 70s trends and fads come to life in classic Garbage Pail Kids style."
A fun new addition to these sets was that each week one lucky fan won a 1/1 full-color painting shipped with their set! (see the gallery above for details about which art was distributed) Although, judging by the fact the print run declined every week, the final artwork didn't appear to be much of a draw
