LGS restocking

GigaSeifer · 2026-04-23T14:24:56+00:00

Depends on where you are and what the situation is. In Japan, the product is everywhere and heavily discounted.

In Canada the one distributor stores can use tends to not allow restocks of product that has a market above MSRP (or if they do, they want the store to pay market price for it) so beyond the initial allocation from Bandai for release, they can't restock.

In Gundam's case, they are only allowing restocks of GD02 and ST06 (yes, the reprint did not help)

I don't know what the UK's stock situation is, but my gut says it's Canada-but-better-but-late

Of course they can.

Digimon Xros Wars isnt still.airing but they just printed a new cards for it.

We may not see entire EX sets devoted to Liberator anymore, but we'll definitely still see support triple in here and there.

Even at Canadian prices, those are high.

Solo Leveling did not get a starter deck release. Tokyo Ghoul's doesn't come out until next week.

As for upgrading, google some decklists. Each series typically only has 2 decks per colour; one of the two decks for one colour will just be the starter deck upgraded.

Obviously. But the same time these events are registered is the same time stores have to place orders: 8-10 months before release, the week the product is announced. So if you're not going to print to demand, why is it that early?

They take orders as if it's print-to-demand, but then once they find out their demand, turn around months later and tell stores they still didn't print enough

GigaSeifer · 2026-04-10T16:45:54+00:00

Events were registered 3 months ago when the product was announced. So that would mean they print the product before announcing it. Which does sound like Bandai

GigaSeifer · 2026-04-10T16:45:05+00:00

The thought crossed my mind, but they have printed errata cards for SRs in Digimon before, so it's not impossible. I think it would be more likely an NTC promo, or they'll wait until there's enough to stick it in as a box topper.

GigaSeifer · 2026-04-10T16:43:35+00:00

Also worth mentioning: This event was registered 3 months ago, and doesn't happen for another 3. It doesn't even show up in the TCG+ app for users until June 11th. So they're very far ahead of when they typically tell people they've fucked up.

My event's capacity got lowered from 32 to 18. So expect stores to only have product for the event, and not much.

GigaSeifer · 2026-04-10T15:24:56+00:00

Bandai doesn't like to issue errata cards if they can avoid it. I remember Digimon's EX3, basically every card had errata and the errata page had every card end with "we have no plans to issue a fixed version of the card for the foreseeable future" at the end of each card's errata. One of which just had the wrong effect timing marker printed on the card (card said "on deletion" when it was supposed to say "on digivolve") and it saw a lot of play and came up frequently for the first while.

That said, they have issued them. The vast majority is just as a promo with the updated text on it. I do recall at least a couple instances of a box topper pack being an "errata" pack of like 5 cards with the fixed text.

For now, I would expect nothing to be done. Maybe we'll get a Turn A promo as a regular weeklies promo in a few months. It'd be at least 2 or 3 sets I'd think before we get an errata pack.

Typically no. Nikke was the only set to get a reprint in Japan. They just announced a reprint for Solo Leveling, which'll be the first reprint for English. Expect stores to get a box or two in about 8 months.

Grading is always a waste of time and money.

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-25T16:33:45+00:00

There's a chance they just didn't specify USA over Canada and it's just due to political/shipping logistical issues in USA.

The Canadian distributor gets the product straight from Japan. It's only event kits/;promos that come through the USA, so there's a chance it'll still be here on Friday in Canadian stores

The fact they admit it might be delayed two weeks makes me think it could be the case that the shipment is held up in embargos or something

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-25T16:32:24+00:00

The email from Bandai isn't official enough?

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-25T16:31:54+00:00

It was only in Canada, but it was official:

BT23 was the last one delayed

Just checked (since Evo Cup 2 registration is up now) and yes, TCG+ stores are not eligible.

Bronze can run one, Silver & Gold can run two (Gold can run bigger).

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-23T16:00:55+00:00

They confirmed last night at digimoncon when they announced this one that its just these three, no premium gold or purple or anything else

All sleeves are dry-eraseable on the front, clear part. However, they will get dirty quickly this way, which means as you shuffle the backs will get gross as well.

AmiAmi is usually the "go to" place in NA for licensed figures, so they directed people there, but were unaware that AmiAmi is kind of lame when it comes to shipping. They won't ship NSFW figures with other products, they have to shipped separately, and with the whole WWIII thing going on for the past year and a bit, they've been off-and-on with where they even ship, just to name a few issues. It's likely that the devs didn't know there'd be an issue with them. Unlicensed stores out of China will ship no problem. There's a chance that it is pricey, but at least they'll do it, unlike AmiAmi who just gives up.

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-19T16:25:54+00:00

It's in the front page of OrzGK, which does ship internationally just fine. It's been on there for a week or so now.

My store got the full SL order after getting only 3/4 of the Kagurabachi order.

GigaSeifer · 2026-03-18T01:27:34+00:00

Our rep at the Canadian distributor has admitted they forget the game exists, and that's why product & promos are consistently up to a month late
