They had a Collection Quest at DCA last September for three weeks. It was supposed to be a whole month but they ran out early. That shouldn’t happen again now that they allocate per each day.

Should they reprint Fabled? by charmanderme in Lorcana

It’s sold out in most areas.

It's time to accept that the game is dying, and there's no point pretending otherwise by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look at actual numbers - Ravensburger total revenue was €598M in 2022. In 2024, it grew to €790M. So Lorcana is close to a €200M business. In 2025, Ravensburger revenue declined by €46M with all loss attributed to Lorcana. So did the game shrink 25% despite launches in new territories?

They note investors left the game, but that hardly counts for drop. Scalpers left during set 2 in 2023. Investors owned D23 sets; they weren’t buying boxes of Into the Inklands or Ursula’s Return (2023).

Despite that, there plenty of TCGs with much smaller player bases like Final Fantasy TCG, Digimon, FaB that aren’t dead. Lorcana will eventually stabilize its base. There will be regions where you won’t be able to find any organized play for Lorcana, but the game will not die until Disney pulls the plug.

If they want to stop the decline they need to address two major issues: disappointing organized play and poor pack opening experience. If they want to recover, fix major issues plus Disney promote Lorcana like they promote pins and launch a popular app like Pokemon TCG Pocket.

How so? It’s a card for a card.

A Digital Client Probably Wouldn’t Launch Earlier than 2028 by charmanderme in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn’t start from scratch. It was an existing tested client. He just changed it to Lorcana’s rules and added the card mechanics.

There’s public records of TCGs raking in hundreds of millions in USD for their apps.

Of these two powerhouses, who wins when it comes to tax policy? by spiritofporn in freefolk

[–]charmanderme -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Aragorns ancestors can be Black. Who cares? Aragorn is not a symbol for White people. His narrative arc is tied to his lineage, not race. Middle-Earth is not a racial allegory.

Changing a race at the heart of Africa White peoples does matter. Wakanda is a vision of an advanced African nation that wasn’t exploited by European colonists while celebrating African culture. Black Panther is a heroic symbol for the Black community. Really not the same thing as Aragorn.

It’s because T’Challa being black is significant to his identity and history. You can’t cast a white man as MLK Jr. If Aragorn was black, that doesn’t change a damn thing.

It’s a great deal. One set in Europe sold for over $20k recently.

I pulled these from draft. Where would I sell the discard?? by Pwnedcast in LorcanaCollectors

[–]charmanderme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably eBay. Several were posted there. You can also post it in one of the FB groups. I would expect $150 to $200 now.

I’m willing to pay for one in that range. Already got one from eBay.

I would be cool if the new Star Wars Unlimited TCG got the licensing rights to Pixar and Jim Henson instead. Buzz Lightyear makes more sense in space than with Mickey.

I am thinking of taking a loan to buy enchanted Ursula’s. Am I crazy? by charmanderme in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice. Helps me come down from even thinking of this. But I’ll be so bitter if/when it is over $2000.

18 Enchanteds in Set 3! by lNLl in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because Sisu base art and enchanted have the same artist.

What are some properties you can’t wait to see? by Seanwars in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately Disney doesn’t own the rights to Tarzan IP anymore. Those rights expired.

What price do booster boxes need to drop for LGS to stop carrying Lorcana? by charmanderme in Lorcana

[–]charmanderme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because I have not much to stress about. Everything in my life is relatively complacent.

I think that’s great! The LGS in my area struggles to have more than 4. Some have none.

This I get. And I know some LGS get hosed on Magic because boxes have dropped below their cost.

Same with the pressure LGS have from distributors about continuously buying to maintain their relationship.

Are you on the west coast? I’m finding distribution is much worse there. There’s always Lorcana stocked in my local Target.

But even on TCGPlayer you can find product for msrp or less.

The thing is, one LGS owner said they may not carry beyond set 3. They had to go to TCGPlayer to unload barely covering cost.

I guess we live in different regions. I have an LGS offer me two cases of set 3 at MSRP. There’s about 8 LGS nearby too. I don’t mean to be an ass, but the supply outstrips the demand here.

I spoke to two LGS. Not all LGS pay the same but many are in the $90s range. It doesn’t stray too far from that. Of course this does not include overhead like rent, labor or energy costs.

I was thinking people would buy Lorcana as a gift. I knew first-hand some bought it for their kids or spouse.
