Important information on Collectors Boxes

After confirmation tonight that distributors do not have an open "PO" - "Purchase order" with Wizards of the coast for Kaldheim Collctor Boxes, i felt it was important to pass this data along to the patrons.


I dont have any Kaldheim Collector boxes for sale. As of right now, the secondary market is VERY CHEAP on these items sitting around $185-$200 a box.


As of right now, I was told by all 4 distributors that there is no restock coming for kaldheim collector boxes.

While personally, i am very SKEPTICAL...if this turns out to be true, this is the biggest shift in behavorior from wotc in years.

With commander legends collector boxes having no restock and NOW Kaldheim collectors are following the same path, this is a major shift in this product lifecycle.

Wizards is accepting a lower revenue on this product line in an attempt to inflate the secondary market prices and sealed product prices. This is the first time i have seen this behavior in many years. 

I personally, am having a tough time believing they arent going to surprise us with a reprint later in 2021. 

Use Caution, wizards has back peddled and "released" hidden supplies in the past.


If no restock holds true...Kaldheim collector boxes are going to skyrocket in the coming years due to lack of supply, just like commander legends collector boxes.

Or maybe Kaldheim sucks so bad no one is buying. Can't spike to $250+ if no one wants them at $200.

Sounds like a buy alert. DIAMOND HANDS KALDHEIM COLLECTORS! *smashes order 2 button*

I don’t think either set is meh, plenty of good cards in both. It’s just the obvious combos built into the design are so powerful that it feels like a lack of depth and dominates drafting. And the future of Pathways is still up in the air, if these sets are the last time they’re printed for a while it will definitely have an effect when the short term player base rotates

Zendikar and Kaldheim being pretty meh as a set in-general is depressing the prices.

Have 5 boxes and wanting to get more.

All about that Kaldheim? Still plenty of Zen Rising out there being undervalued for containing 4 expeditions

I sell a lot on Amazon through FBA and you are not wrong about the stock level of CL collector boxes.. Currently they have an inventory level of 3317 boxes. That's a lot of stock. Although their price is $320.93. The Kaldheim Collector Booster Box stock level on Amazon is 4944 @ $199.34, for anyone interested in the numbers.

I keep hearing people talk about reduced supply of collector boxes, starting with Legends. It seems to be all anecdotal though. Just because a distributor or a store got less product does not mean there is less product. The whole time people talked about a shortage of CL collector boxes, Amazon has held thousands of them. They control the supply and they control the price. The same appears to be true with Kaldheim.

Good that’ll help compensate for the dumpster fire card quality in the collectors boxes. Though maybe the idea is that since collectors are less likely to ever open the boxes, quality doesn’t matter.

I wish wizards was a little more transparent. I really like them throttling down on the supply. It’s seems like a lot of us have been burned.

Sadly i don’t feel kaldheim collectors have enough tacos for my belly. Besides a lot of foils there aren’t so many unique cards to have a real huge difference from set boxes, in my opinion

This is an interesting development

I'm still waiting for the Gatecrash\Born of the Gods collector's booster box :-)

maybe Japanese shipment came in first and was buried by the USA shipment, and the top or newest shipped out first. Rudy would know more than me

Matthew Miller

I noticed the first shipment on set boxes from Rudy was USA, second was Japanese. Curious how that works

Bryan Dombi

i put away a case or two of each, and try to get the early Japanese printing on the draft and set boxes, i case that means something in the future. Thanks Rudy

Matthew Miller

Might be worth grabbing a couple and topping off the 'ol closet of magic. Can't be that big... Right?

I bought early from rudy hoping his would be the case and the supply would be low. Wizards had to change something because the single in the secondary market were far to cheap. They are going to have to make more changes going forward too. If this is the "new" direction it's probably the first of a few moves to reinflate the secondary market.

Tyler Wilson

Thanks for heads up.

Peter Hauge

Now I gotta hop onto a plane, fly to my island and go shake those money trees. Is Animal Crossing still a thing?

NO reason not to buy the cheap one's on eBay sub $190 with this potential situation. EZ pick-up, I grabbed a case worth @ $178.

People always say I’ll wait a little bit - I get a case at launch since so it’s absolutely prestine and not being tossed around an LGS floor for months - also sometimes like Kaldheim draft boxes were Japanese printed and the stop tape is Japanese - will future draft be cases be the same? Who knows. Anyway just my take for fellow patrons. My name is Rudy from birth it’s just a coincidence

Says who? This information means many of us will be buying this up at the low $178 - $185 price (free shipping) we can get it for now. I wouldn't be surprised as this information circulates these are $200 - $210 by the weekend - with no re-stock that triggers a $289 by Christmas. LGS's will be back by end of year and then we will see re-established demand.

Lol, thanks Rudy! I just pulled the trigger on buying another one for the shelf.

WINDELL F COOPER

No rush on any of this stuff. There’s so much out there of any and all sets and none of it will go up substantially any time soon.

Caleb P

I feel like we are on wall street betts haha i love it

christopher Mazurek

Just picked up 2. We’ll see what happens

So glad I grabbed a few Commanders Collectors boxes when the price was low

Huh, well this is an interesting development

Will Bradshaw

188 on ebay.

COLLECTORS TO THE MOoOoOoOon 🚀 🌝

Thanks Rudy! That's the way it should be IMO. Collectors at a premium should warranty some rarity and scarcity. If true, I commend Wizards on this action.

Bryan Dombi

Thanks!

Jason Woodard

They should do this with all sets...Fox Racing does this and they sell out every piece of gear and clothing they have because people buy it all up asap to get something then sit around waiting for the next release of items to snatch up lol its quite genius

I was already on the fence about buying one, and this just pushed me over the edge. $195 on Amazon... for the time being.

Thanks for that info man. Appreciate ya

Steven

Thanks for the heads up Rudy!

James Moreno

Thanks for the heads-up Ruby! If I could find one or two at $180, I might think about it. If I miss out, not too concerned. I'm over Standard/Modern race to the bottom sets.

Neil Eldridge

STC!

Paul

Thanks for the information, Rudy

Zachary J Uphold

So....to the moon??🚀🚀?
