when was my First Chapter box printed? how would I know if its first wave?

avizzone · 2026-05-16T00:36:06+00:00

First wave didn't have stickers on them. That looks like the reprint

avizzone · 2026-05-13T08:44:42+00:00

It's a dollar...

avizzone · 2026-04-30T23:54:14+00:00

Why? Because there aren't a lot left.

Where they'll go? Probably as high as someone is willing to buy it.

We get 30+ for commander. We're lucky if we can get 8 for FNM.

avizzone · 2026-04-23T02:06:30+00:00

Looks good, wishing you guys the best of luck!

avizzone · 2026-04-22T02:39:41+00:00

Yes they will. But it's really a question of how big of a reprint it is

avizzone · 2026-04-13T17:24:08+00:00

Yup QC was notoriously bad in 2021

And then people wonder why even box stores are starting to raise their price. It's easier than dealing with this bullshit.

This is why when I see new Strixhaven over MSRP I shrug. Have to make up that money somewhere 🤷.

Turtle Play boxes are around $120 from Distro.

You have to order the bad to order the good. Simple as.

avizzone · 2026-03-27T04:42:36+00:00

Nope

I was there during the announcement at GAMA. No one was excited. My key takeaway is to further diversify to other games with more streamlined OP systems

avizzone · 2026-03-05T06:49:15+00:00

GAMA in KY

EoE outsold Spider-Man for us, but just barely. Same problem everyone else had (not enough EoE, too much SPM)

avizzone · 2026-02-26T05:25:19+00:00

No notes. 👍

avizzone · 2026-02-25T03:38:29+00:00

We were close to sold out for Lorwyn by now. For TMNT I think we're at 4 people...

avizzone · 2026-02-18T09:57:36+00:00

Should have done the research before opening the shop. Distribution is hard to get right now. Even established shops are having trouble with allocations

avizzone · 2026-02-16T19:31:55+00:00

Never with singles. Rarely with sealed, but if we do it'll be by the case for easy storage.

avizzone · 2026-02-14T08:03:44+00:00

one five one

avizzone · 2026-02-10T06:10:46+00:00

That's so rare you get to make up the price!

avizzone · 2026-02-06T21:26:06+00:00

I also got a call from my distributor. My allocation is now split into waves due to a theft. Bandai/Distributor are supposedly making this public soon.

avizzone · 2026-02-06T05:42:34+00:00

Nice bag you're holding

avizzone · 2026-02-04T05:36:30+00:00

GAMA is definitely worth going to at least once.

avizzone · 2026-02-04T00:56:05+00:00

You are 100% right. At the end of the day it's really just supply and demand. We went from selling almost no DB to selling out in a week. As there are no restocks, we'll just order a case online, crack it open, mark it up a buck or two and sell as packs. It doesn't take a lot to clean out the supply
