Our Marvel super Heroes pre-release turnout was not nearly as abysmal as turnout
was for our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pre-releases as we have done
double those numbers so far, really surprising several of my staff members who
expected a redux of the TMNT pre-release attendance but attendance is far below the numbers we saw for Edge of
Eternities or even Aetherdrift.
Several of the players at our event even commented they did not care for
playing with the Universes Beyond sets, they just liked the opportunity to come
out and play in a pre-release. Most of the Marvel Super Heroes buyers we
have had so far did not show up for either pre-release event. People who play Magic
generally prefer playing with the in-universe sets. Those who want to collect,
rip packs for views on social media, and find valuable cards they can sell to
someone else gravitate towards the Universes Beyond sets. Incidentally,
cards, even graded ones, only have value as long as someone else is willing to
pay you more for them than you paid and eventually this nostalgia driven boom
will come to an end.
