Los Angeles, April 14, 2022 — There’s a rumble of tailpipes and the wind in one’s hair — along with decomposing zombie limbs flying past one’s face — as buyers race to OpenSea for one of the hottest Web3 gaming assets of 2022: Daryl Dixon’s iconic motorcycle from The Walking Dead (TWD).
Earlier this year, creative production studio and blockchain experience company Orange Comet locked down an exclusive deal with the American Movie Classics (AMC) channel and TWD. This Thursday, its next Web3 gaming assets collection, “The Walking Dead,” roars into the metaverse.
Last month, its inaugural TWD drop — 5,000 Walker Access Passes — sold out immediately. Anyone who shows up late to this week’s party will be roadkill.
The drop is happening tomorrow, April 14, at 7 pm UTC.
The collections: Five thousand Daryl Dixon Iconic Motorcycles
Now, Daryl loves his hog almost as much as he loves gal-pal Carol, his dog, and his trusty crossbow, but when these newly-minted vehicles go on sale, they’re expected to go quicker than Daryl can shoot an arrow through a charging walker’s oozing eyeball.
The newest collection will feature 20 bike designs spanning eight different rarities: Super-Legendary, Legendary, Super-Epic, Epic, Super-Rare, Rare, Uncommon, and Common.
For Walker Access Pass holders, this drop could have significant value. Pass holders have an exclusive one-hour whitelist pre-access before the drop, but matching top-tier Walker Access Pass rarity with Daryl Motorcycle rarity — or a higher variant — will yield a free airdrop valuable in TWD’s virtual universe.
Pass holders, here’s what to look for:
- A Legendary pass and a Super-Legendary bike yield a metaverse-ready 3D Daryl Rider and a metaverse-ready Tool Web3 gaming asset.
- A Legendary pass and a Legendary bike yield a 3D Daryl Rider.
- An Epic pass and a Super-Epic bike yield two metaverse-ready Tool Web3 gaming assets.
- An Epic pass and an Epic bike yield one metaverse-ready Tool Web3 gaming asset.
- A Super-Rare pass and a Super-Rare bike yield one metaverse-ready Super-Rare Tool Web3 gaming asset.
- A Rare pass and a Rare bike yield one metaverse-ready Rare Tool Web3 gaming asset.
- An Uncommon pass and an Uncommon bike yield one metaverse-ready Uncommon Tool Web3 gaming asset.
- An Uncommon pass and a Common bike yield one metaverse-ready Common Tool Web3 gaming asset.
The auction: 50 model-kit bikes
What’s rarer than one of those 5,000 Dixon bikes? No worries, buyers are covered with 50 unique model-kit motorcycles. These bad boys are not built for speed but exclusivity and are available only through a 48-hour English auction, no pass-holder whitelist, on OpenSea.
Only four top-tier rarities will be included, with the following starting bids:
- Super-Legendary: three Ether
- Legendary: two ETH
- Super-Epic: one ETH
- Epic: 0.75 ETH
Winners of each auction item will receive a premium Deed of Land with a rarity level matching the bike — e.g., a Super-Legendary motorcycle yields a Super-Legendary Deed. Gas, anyone? This is truly an opportunity to die for.
To mint a Daryl Motorcycle, one’s wallet must be connected to the Orange Comet website. Visit before 7 pm UTC on April 14 to ensure the wallet is successfully connected.
Remember, if one is a Walker Access pass holder, they’re fortunate and eligible for a one-hour whitelist pre-access, beginning at 6 pm UTC.
Time to get back in the saddle hit the gas, and ride like the wind to the upcoming official AMC TWD Web3 gaming asset drop — only from Orange Comet and on OpenSea. Join Daryl and his fleet of badass bikes as they ride away to live another day — no helmets required.
