My area in California is one of the lucky few unaffected by a HUGE problem affecting the game and community as a whole... can FFG fix this issue in time?
I'm in Buffalo, NY and we have two huge stores in our area Dave & Adams and Millenium Games in Rochester NY which is the biggest gaming store in North America. No issues getting cards and D&A had pre-order boxes for $109.99 in store. It all depends on store size and how the owner wants to run the business. Comparing current SWU prices to Magic is hard because Magic has been around for decades and has a massive card base. There have only been two releases so far so of course some prices will be inflated for certain cards. I don't find $50 bad for legendary rarity.
Even Lorcana which is being overprinted has game pieces from each set from $30-$60 for the standard printing. The game demand is extremely high for that product right now because of the competitive events.
Thats true, and its Dinsey so it has the "pokemon" collectibility of parents buying product for their kids who dont even play. So theres a ton of different sources buying product. I really hope they figured out their supply issue for EVERY part of the country, so people can get their product. But not FLESH and BLOOD status where they annihilated their singles value.
@@SurgicalNinja they will, I like that FFG wants to focus on supporting LGS and events, since this is a non retail product I don’t think they’ll overprint. Most people upset about a shortage of product right seem to be the ones that want to buy for profit or value.
There are kind of two supply issues. The one I think we hear about most are the people trying to do the investing game not getting as much product as they want. As you know, FFG is focusing on the LGS. Most LGS stores received decent allocations, but most would happily take more. I think a lot of people will be able to pick up a box or two from their local stores from the next week or two. After that I don't think many stores will have any boxes left, unless they are selling them for well over retail price.
Yeag locally i was able to get a case. When I went into the store at launch day he had multiple cases but i just got 2 boxes and 2 prerelase kits so others dont cry.
You actually hit 7 legendaries -- Rey is legendary -- in that first box. PLUS you got Maul which is Rare but is so Rare it might as well be considered legendary.
That Ray was from one of the pre-release kits, not from first box. And Maul is expensive because it's good (legendary good), not because it's harder to pull than any other rare.

Oh snap! Yeah the distribution and randomization of cards is so bad. I saw the guy who pulled like 7 copies of Endless Legion in his case. So meta :P

Wookie Warrior is terrible art?! How?!
It looks like a SATURDAY MORNING STAR WARS animation art. Bleh!
@@SurgicalNinjareminds me of the Genddy Clone Wars style animation, love it.
