TimeSpiral Remastered

Time spiral boxes have skyrocketed and in the current market, any price under $300.00 is now a good deal.


That is a tremendous upswing to all the patrons who purchased in financial gain.


I dont have any boxes left, and no box openings will  take place.


Many large stores were asked to particiapte in a wotc poll about how many more boxes i would purchase if they became available.


There is a very real chance, a 2nd wave comes around in 60-90 days and the price could swing.


Use extreme caution buying this item at $300.00+ on the open market.

If they wanted to make it matter in a similar way to FaB 1st ed., all they'd have to do is do new print runs with no foil timeshifted cards. Not a bad idea, actually. Get a bunch of this draft set into actual players' hands, but allow the first print run to hold value for collectors / evil investors. I like FaB's model.

David Brosseau

It’s the slivers doing this lol. Stores shouldn’t give them this information they will just give the boxes to Amazon. Unless it’s an actual order form. Why can’t wizards just chill I hate corporations. Just allow 1 product to have value. I didn’t go in this set heavy just a couple boxes. But it would be nice to have one of their new products gain in value. This will make me way more hesitant to buy modern horizons 2 like I wasn’t already hesitant enough. So when should we sell all these boxes Rudy? Now? Is there any chance they see that first edition boxes matter like FAB?

Christopher

I have 2 @ $150 each and thinking of just opening one, but now I'm tempted to hold both.

my 3 boxes showed up today. Think it's time to re-sell them for $100 profit each?

James Schuette

We struck at $170. Should have bought double.

Randy Cooper

I opened 3 and have 3 sealed. Essentially made all money back for the 6 cases in total with the pulls... Foil Kiki-jiki is a gorgeous card!

Thank you Rudy for the information! Can’t wait for that second wave 🌊

Printers are booked out among all the hot tcg right now through the Summer anyway, they can’t just poof another print run into existence without bumping something else out - unless they’d planned for one (& ofc they could have a pile left for Amazon)

Waiting on the Strixhaven Mystical Archive spoilers

Douglas Ortiz

I was able to snag a bunch @ 150$/box. I wanted to draft them, but if there is no second wave these bad boys will stay sealed and wait for them to skyrocket .

joshua lefrancois

Keep in mind a second wave does not necessarily mean a reprint. It could be sitting there already and just be held back. If Rudy is correct on the Amazon angle, you could see that play out.

NOLA0977

My question is whether the "i" applies to Rudy. That would mean they know he will buy up whatever stores don't take. That being said, I have to think the "I" refers to the store.

NOLA0977

The speed cycle on TSR is crazy. Looking like some prices are still approaching the bottom, but plenty have bounced back up already. With the less than expected print run news, I think the impact on older versions will be less than expected. Stuff like Cloud Key has only had the original printing but prices are 1/3 of the original; the foil was down to like $6 or 7, but is already back up to $14. All previous Pact of Negation foils are around $50, TSR is $30; again, since this wasn't printed to oblivion, there's not a lot out there and that gap should close. Any of the time shifted non-foils that are any good should be rarer relative to any of the other versions and if it's not around the price of the highest version I would expect it to get there.

Douglas Ortiz

Have yours shipped / arrived yet? Still waiting for my Amazon order to ship.... :\

David Brosseau

Amazon refunded me $.81. I guess I didn't buy at the low. Kind of feel like I should tell them they can keep the $.81

Kevin Mosher

Did you get a confirmation that they were shipped or did they just show up?

518toga

Hahaha

Navin Michael Singh

I’m about to just lock in some profits and prepare for the Strixhaven/Monarch explosion

Patrick Deitner

Just watched a box on eBay go for $297

Patrick Deitner

Was able to get 1 box at $193 shipped and it came today. It will be going in the storage closest for a later date.

Michael Keith

Is this a usual occurence for WOTC to send surveys like this? I've personally never heard of this before, but I could be way off. IMHO, like previous comments say, this is just data collection for future Remastered sets and they're feeling out the numbers for how much to print in future similar sets...

I got 2 from Amazon for $150/box with every intention of cracking them, but now I am starting to consider holding. Maybe I'll crack one and save the other.

Matthew Dykman

The wallet fatigue is getting to the point where I have to quit the game. Jumpstart was supposed to be standard box price.. and now these have practically doubled in price in 2 weeks.

Ken Kugelman

Well, he buys at dist prices and sells at ~retail and he sold out in 8 minutes sooo... Wouldn't you love to run that hot?

Andrew Schulz

So keep HODLing and don’t count on a reprint?

I hope they flood the market with tsr like they did modern horizons. But I feel these boxes never go below 200 again reprint or not.

Doubt we're going to see a second print, if anything this is data collection for future remastered sets. WOTC's new operating procedure: Reject standard, return to return to return to return to return to remastered sets. Someone at wizards is an absolute genius. "Hey guys, Masters sets are getting old and we're running out of themes, what do we do now" "I know! What if we just revisit completed blocks and RE-master them! RE-MASTER SETS" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Gregory Price

Still a chance it doesn't happen. I'd rather have a couple boxes just in case.

Navin Michael Singh

New listing on ebay for a 1400 dollar box of time spiral remastered Helicopter Edition. Go check the description out. Hilarious

Well, call me an evil investor, but I have two boxes on the shelf and hope there is no reprint.

WINDELL F COOPER

I hope you get some more Rudy. I want to buy from you!!

Glad I received my three boxes from Rudy, so now I can keep those sealed and open the 18 booster packs I found at Walmart 😎

That’s what I was thinking!

Sadly for the 6 months now it's easier to pre order thru Amazon for the lowest price. Question is how can rudy compete with this down the road

Do we know if our orders shipped?

518toga

I hope they have a 2nd wave so I can open some boxes. But if its a Commander Legends Collector 2nd wave the price will continue on to the moon...

Chris Datu

Just paid $275 shipped for a box on Facebook

There will be another print, this is just money sitting on the table for WotC even if they are likely printing Strixhaven as we speak.

Price memory is a thing. Getting a second print run doesnt mean we will see the price drop to 200$ again. (look at commander legends collector booster).

Ruddy. 😂😂 "I like the set...." I'm in the same boat with Amazon. Did they take your payment yet? They took mine, so that's slightly promising. They don't usually take it till they're actually for sure going to fulfill it..... But I'm still not getting my hopes up. Ha

David Brosseau

I'm refusing to count my chickens till they hatch. I preordered two boxes on Amazon for that $150 price point, but Amazon unfortunately isn't guaranteed like some people think. I've heard about people getting their preorders cancelled. The payment HAS come out of my credit card, so that's promising, but it hasn't shipped yet. I'm not letting myself get my hopes up. LoL

David Brosseau

100% agree 👍, my cases just showed up today. Picked them up for 171.49/box and I thought that was too expensive 😆. I wasn't expecting them to go to the moon but it's the way things are I guess in the Helicopter Stimulus Money go BRrrrrrRRRRRRR world of 2021. 😆🤣😂😹

Man I got a case for 1200 and bought 3 boxes for 280 a piece for myself on sunday. I didnt think that it would go up so fast but I can wait till the second wave to get them back at a lower price but it going back to 200 seems unlikely to me.

Ryan Roberts Jr

My 3 boxes arrived from Jax today. Thanks. Was gonna crack them open but now I’m gonna keep them sealed and just crack the 3pack ones I got on Amazon for $15 each. For the most part I have all the original slivers etc. So these are investments :) Thanks :)

Jason Stepp

I regret opening one box because it was a hose town trip for me, but atleast I have two sealed..

TehTechnoGuy

Like the """"second""" waves of jumpstart and commander legends, it's going direct to amazon. Don't get your hopes up :c

TehTechnoGuy

Great info thanks so much.

Looks like I won't get any of this then. Gonna hold my chips for the masters set later. Sad, but oh well.

Man, Rudy just shilling out these for $189 a pop, he's got one of the worst pump and dump agendas I've ever seen. Perhaps, he may actually have the best advice on the market and he just humbly gives us it for being loyal. Just keep handing me diamonds Rudy, happy to hold them!

NooNNiTe

Its crazy if you didn't pre-order or buy through Rudy you're screwed. I luckily was able to buy several boxes at an average of 170/box

Aaron

Yep

Robert J Pluskwik

Oh khans and dark ascension next on the chop block. Muahaha *laughs in evil investor*

I bought my singles. I'm not fucking with this one until a restock happens

Marcos Rivera (Jedi168)

damn I'm so happy i got 2 boxes for 181each. hoping a second round come up so i can get for a normal price for myself to open

Where did you get yours? I never saw them at this price. Local LGS?

Cody Fuller

what do you suggest about singles prices?

Koda

You don’t think they are already printed? I don’t think they have time for that with as backed up the printers are, I would imagine those spots are already sold for the next 3 months, and by that time, it would be too late to print TSR again with Kaldheim, Strixhaven, and all the upcoming sets.

Cody Fuller

Got 3 cases for 200 each / glad to see more on the way soo many folks missed out on this amazing set. I’m sure every store and their mom all said yes more please on the pole - do another wave has got to be on the way. By then though it will be gobbled up fast and I don’t see a huge price swing.

Holy shite! I'm glad I ordered my case at $150 a box 🤣

Nikki W

I managed to snag 3 at 185 average on presale, now I feel much better about pre ordering

Michael Martin

WoTC polled stores to see how many boxes Alpha Investments would buy!? Do you feel the crosshairs? Are you looking to become the new "Amazon/local LGS"?

Zachary J Uphold

So they'll tally all the numbers for the stores, and print that many to put on Amazon.

HOLD!!

Robert J Pluskwik

Just locked in two sales at 289.99. Love free tendies

Missed the Ruddy train and Amazon isn't shipping what I pre ordered 😑

Got 3 from a LGS for 205 on top of what Rudy offered. These are burning my hands.

Thanks Rudy! I was able to pick one up on presale for 195 shipped. Not as good as some people were saying at 150. The boxes seemed to be loaded with good pulls though, I am watching YT so take that with a grain of salt.

Cody Fuller

Its almost a marketing ploy to say there will only be 1 wave of printing runs

Spending $300 on the definition on FOMO. But what they don’t know is they already missed out.

Even a second wave would probably sell out instantly, no? Mutiny on the Electronic Bay

Patrick Deitner

Also a good chance that this is wizards taking note of how much is just enough for the upcoming collector pointed set releases. Unless they have a spare printer sitting around....

If there's a second wave, what are the chances of you offering another sale on them, Rudy?

Nothing but posts on facebook selling singles... many, many people opened their box... keep sealed.

Robert J Pluskwik

I was thinking of getting a box of Time Spiral... but I think Im done with MTG and will buy FAB since I am having to pay such a high entry premium.

Robert Sutphin

Just pulled a Foil Chalice of the Void, sell or hold? I say hold!

I regret not picking one up for opening. Oh wel

Thanks I bought a case under 200. Waiting for the Fab Rudy monarch bundle. 🥳

Joanacris Marie Ballesta

Thanks Rudy! Just missed your sale. Will wait for Amazon prices on another wave

Bryan Dombi

Thanks, Rudy Da Bear!!

Aaron

LOL! i literally just jumped on here 30 seconds before this post saying "i wonder if there's any TSR updates coming"

Robert Lewis

It’s the Time Spiraly-iest.

Daniel E. Passaro

Wow, nice catch.

Robert Sutphin

Thanks!

Yasin Khalil

Picked one up from my lgs for 200 today Got lucky and got the last box

Talib Moran

Thanks for the update, very good info!
