Riding Along with the Superfuzz “Bad Batch” Sell Out Flash Drop NFT Sale

777 “Bad” Monsters hit the blockchain and sell out in 35 minutes.

As you may have read, I like to do “ride alongs” on NFT drops, kind of live-blogging (or rather live-screen-grabbing) during the process. It’s always exciting, and is generally educational as well because it helps me understand the marketing dynamics of generative NFT drops. And for THIS one, I was particularly eager watch because Superfuzz was my company’s first generative NFT client. (Yes, we help clients with generative art coding and smart contracts!) So, naturally, I was rooting for a sell-out the whole time.

As I always do (see my comments on Rebel Kids Familiars and Canine Cartel), I like to do a sweep of an NFT drop team’s social media standings before the drop. I think this info helps gauge how it might go, although we can’t rule out other possible factors such as the general “hype level” on social media.

Superfuzz’s Twitter Stats as of Sept. 5, 2021:

Their Instagram Following:

And their Discord:

All good and, I should note, the level of activity among this base was particularly enthusiastic and high pre-drop (as reflected by the follower numbers post-drop, which I included above).

Drop Particulars

This is a “Flash Drop” sale, which the Superfuzz team describes as a somewhat smaller (read more exclusive) NFT drop. Only 777 would be included here, including a number of ultra-rares that (as the developer) I couldn’t wait to see minted to some lucky buyers.

These NFTs went on sale for 0.07 each (about $275 currently), plus gas fees of course. Here’s a snap of the screen pre-launch (though note that the 118 sold reflected an exclusive pre-sale event held just prior). It went off at 9:00pm, and here’s how the sale progressed:

9:02 p.m.

9:08 p.m.

9:18 p.m.

9:23 p.m.

9:32 p.m.

9:33 p.m.

9:35 p.m.

Nice! A complete sell-out! Many congrats to the Superfuzz team on the success.

A day later, you can see the floor price has leveled off at .2 ETH (about $788 each). (See their OpenSea Bad Batch collection page there.) Not a bad return for a $275 investment! And with more monstrous drops from Superfuzz on the way, I suspect many HODLers will be among those 475 owners shown below, as these Bad Batch monsters are the OG set from this NFT team.
