Limited Edition Card - Gold Jonah Lomu
The special Jonah Lomu card is gold and features an action shot of Lomu (different from the Legend card) together with his stats and facsimile signature. There are only 500 limited edition Jonah Lomu cards available some of which have already been auctioned for charity. The limited circulation obviously is going to make this a highly sought after card amongst collectors although how high that price will go is yet to be determined.
The Weetbix All Blacks Stat Attack 2021 promotion is already proving very popular with collectors, adults and kids alike, are consuming mountains of Weet-bix as they race to complete their set. One parent commented on Facebook "My son is obsessed with collecting these weetbix cards! He eats 5 and my hubby 10 so we can get thru a box pretty quickly."
On first glance it is easy to confuse this year's Weet-Bix Stat Attack cards with the 2019 All Blacks cards. This year the blue background has been retained and the size and format of the cards is the same. What sets the two years apart you will notice is that the 2021 iteration has a red highlight running through the stats on all regular player cards.
This year the Sanitarium Weetbix cards feature a picture of a player in action with their name underneath in block letters. Information about the player's height, weight, test caps, test points, all blacks numbers, success percentage and for fun the number of Weet-Bix eaten. Centre bottom of the card is the card number highlighted in red.
Two logos are displayed on the rear of the cards: Weet-Bix (top) and All Blacks (bottom). The rest of the space is taken up with Stat Attack 2021 Official Game Cards all set against an attracive dark blue shaded background.
Apart from the regular standard cards (31 in all) this collection also features legend cards as it has done in previous Stat Attack releases. There are eight legend cards to collect and all feature a player who has been incredibly successful on the field but has also been selected for their outstanding contribution to the promotion of the game of rugby.
These All Blacks rugby cards are more than a collectible card series they are also a card game. The game has been reinvented from the previous Stat Attack game a decade ago and involves physically dealing the cards and comparing players statistics in a head-to-head match. The rules of the game are printed on the back of each Weetbix box and are also featured in the album and can be viewed online on the weetbix official website.
As part of the promotion Sanitarium Weet-Bix have issued an official album and collector tin which are available from participating supermarkets. The official albums which retail for NZ $6.00 contain a lot more information about each player and are a nice collectible in themselves for storing the cards in pristine condition. The collector tin is good for gamers who want to carry their cards around with them in readiness for battle.
While in previous years cardboard collector boxes were supplied free inside Weet-Bix cereal boxes these are now printed on the rear of Weet-Bix boxes and can be cut out and used to carry the cards around in.

If you do happen to pick up an Official Stat Attack Album be sure to go to the back page where there is a dedicated page designed as a space to have your favourite players sign your album. On the inside cover there is space to write your name however if you are intending to on sell the completed album I suggest that you leave this blank as it will most likely increase the value in years to come.
