Well we finally got in a restock today of the Magic Final Fantasy play boosters. Only took about 3 months. Now to see if the demand is still here or if everyone has moved on from the set to anticipating the new Avatar set.
So far, we have received reprints of Takir Dragonstorm and Final Fantasy. Now all we need is for a reprint of Edge of Eternities to show up for the holiday selling season.
We expect a small restock of Final Fantasy boosters to arrive later this week, both play and collector as well as 1, that is one, bundle. Based on the amount of interest, we do not expect these to last the weekend.
The Universes Beyond Final Fantasy has been quite a sugar rush for stores. Even pricing collector boosters at $50 each did not slow down the interest and the Gift Bundles moved steadily at $149.99 as we sold through 80% of our order in one day.
We would love to get more of the shiny collectors cards for the set but, since there are serialized cards in the Collector packs, Wotc will not reprint them. We do expect more Play boosters and regular commander decks in July but no more Collector.
Will Spider Man and Avatar be as big? I am not sure. I doubt it but I and the rest of the staff, to be honest, did not expect Final Fantasy to sell as well as it did.
We are currently out of Final Fantasy sealed product. We expect our Gift Bundles to arrive this week and hopefully some Play boosters as well. We do not expect any more collector boosters or commander decks though.
We will host Final Fantasy Chobobo Racing every Saturday at 1 p.m. That means a booster draft. You get 3 points for playing in the draft and 1 point for each round you win. Get 10 points and get a chobobo print. Reach 20 points and you earn a Chobobo VR pin.
We had 19 people in for our first Final Fantasy pre-release, the largest number we have had in quite some time. We still have space in tonight's and tomorrow's events but will not be selling any pre-release kits until after 1 p.m on Sunday, in order to make sure we have space in both of our remaining events. After 1 p.m. tomorrow, we will put out any remaining kits on sale.
WOTC has said that the Universes Beyond Final Fantasy set is the biggest selling Magic set ever. It should be, given that the going rate for a booster box of Collector boosters for the set is selling for about $600, some of the Collector Commander Decks are selling for over $300 each and at least one foil version of a card is currently selling for $175
