In the August/Sept. issue of Non-SportUpdate, the article about Clone Wars states that there will be 12 exclusive coins in Target, Walmart, & ToysRUs. "This is a total of 36 unique coins".
It also states that there are "parallels of the cel cards exclusive to Target & walmart in Red and Blue respectively".
24 coins would be easier to collect though!

I have not found any retail yet (though I have been looking).

Why coins at all, Topps are primarilly a Trading card company? I'll get the coins if I see them on Ebay and a good price otherwise I will pass on them.

why cards at all, topps really was a gum/candy company back in the day?

companies always through in some kind of premium (a tin, now a coin) to try to get folks to buy their less popular stuff (retail trading cards).

Howdy from Texas, any word on where to get the retail cards at yet?

Andy, any reply to your earlier post of where to but the boxes on line?

Thanks. MTFBWY

I have found the retail coins at Wal Mart and Target here in the Houston, Tx area. I haven't seen any at Toys R Us yet. I'm still looking

It appears that the coins are blue (Wal Mart), Red (Target), and gold (Toys R Us).
