Distribution problems with Wizards and Magic have just exacerbated (See “Reality Fracture Shipping Times Fractured”). Unlike with the Hobbit, I did not read of any stores not getting prize Play boosters for Reality Fracture in time for the pre-release. However, the delivery window for pre-release kits was the shortest I can remember. Typically, kits arrived 1-3 days before pre-release Friday. With Reality Fracture, our pre-release kits did not arrive from UPS until about 1 p.m. on Friday and I read of stores whose kits were delivered 10 minutes before the store had scheduled the start of their first pre-release. Based on UPS tracking I was unsure as to whether our kits would arrive on time for our pre-release weekend.
I hope Hasbro and Wizards are taking a hard look at their supply chain problems and that the oversupply of Pokemon 30th Anniversary product makes it to hobby game stores, which based on the calls we have had at the store and comments online, could certainly sell them.
