Update:
UpperDeck has released a statement regarding indefinite holds on future releases of the e-pack brand.

So they explained out all the series/packs beforehand, only to just put it on an immediate hold after one round lmao how embarrassing
Honest to god best move they've made in a while, those cards were fucking rough looking as an actual Neo fan and not crypto/NFT shill I'd rather light myself on fire than buy those especially for no physical copy and just a CHANCE at getting a rare item code? Come on. 🤧

Lol...
The only "real" Neopets NFTs are the Pets themself on the site. No blockchain, but every Pet is unique and has Value other then these shitty eCards

Apparently UpperDeck has turned off the physical redemption option on these packs. Saw that some users, including those who got the press plates, managed to order theirs and get them fairly quick. I can't help but think back to Neopets CryptoQuest with how this has gone. Incentivize people to buy-in early to get ahead in some way only to cancel/delay further installments and then quietly prevent people from accessing it?
Supposedly, the team is actually listening to feedback and delaying further purchases/redemption in order to make sure the next batch/set is actually advertised to the userbase. Which I think is a good thing. Outside of one email and a small mention at comic con the past year, they didn't advertise the future selling of this item as much as they do for other merch items.

Hello Neopets Collectors!
We appreciate the passion and support for our initial Neopets Weekly Pack release! We would like to provide an update on the Week 1 cards and the release of all subsequent packs:
All Neopets Week 1 cards are now available to be shipped to a physical address or transferred to a linked COMC account. The Base Set and Baby Paint Brush Variant cards released in Week 1 will be required to redeem for the end of program Paintbrush Achievement cards. To earn these achievements, the cards need to remain on e-Pack®, so be sure to keep them in your collection!
Each week, only 499 packs will be released, and packs will remain at $5.99. We will not be making any changes to the structure or configuration of the product and achievements. Upper Deck is working closely with Jumpstart to provide collectors with cards that celebrate the world of Neopia. The release of Week 2 of Neopets Weekly, and all following weeks, is currently TBD. We will provide an updated release date as soon as it is confirmed.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our customer care team here.
Thank you,
The Upper Deck e-Pack® Team
