*** Updates 5/13/2020 ***
Added 2020-05-14 02:51:07 +0000 UTCAlright all 1 and 2 box orders have now shipped (1,354 Boxes) and tracking should start updating by tomorow for those smaller orders.
Still on target to resume Youtube videos this weekend.
Still on target for all orders to be shipped by next week.
Still on target for opening up standard box purchasing on friday :-)
Down to 500 messages on patreon and should be caught up this weekend.
Commander 2020 is looking pretty scary right now. The supply is disturbingly low.
My gut feeling says wizards will get more supply into the market, but my instinct thinks its NOT going to be enough and the prices are going to stay high. I feel this is a Commander 2016 situation all over again.
After seeing the size of the commander 2020 Master cases (4 sets) in person today. I was shocked that only 30 cases are on each pallet. (C19 was 50 cases per pallet) This is a massive space hog and terrible for logisitics. Distributors will NOT sit on this product due to the space it takes up and i think this will also cause a lower print run.
Ikoria Collectors boxes appear to be stable but the demand remains very very strong. I believe ikoria and throne will run neck and neck with prices.
I checked today about the missing japanese cards in the collectors boxes and if i would be getting those packs for the boxes, all distributors stated we dont have the missing cards from wizards.....soooo....either they are lieing or wizards is really behind. I dunno.
Lastly, i will continue to give updates on the supply issues on Commander 2020 and if more ikoria collectors boxes become available.
The new Flesh and Blood Arcane Rising is on target for June 1st and the promos and playmats just showed up and they are epic.
Also the Restock on Shirts will be here in 2 weeks and will be on ebay. I will notify the patrons in advance to get a chance at buying before going on youtube.
And a new Force of will Set is coming in 7 days...so yea....

My lgs said that there would be another c20 print run in a few months probably. But it may not be enough.

2020-05-15 17:58:46 +0000 UTCDoes anyone think Core 2020 will get the unexpected short print cycle due to all backlog that WOTC has? I'm seriously considering buying some Core 2020 boxes when Rudy opens up his standard orders again :-)

2020-05-15 04:32:11 +0000 UTCGood looking out man! Amazon has all but the Timeless Wisdom available right now - each under $35
2020-05-15 03:21:46 +0000 UTCMy LGS had all 5 precons for $199.99, so I snatched that up. Guess I’m waiting for allocation to end now.
2020-05-14 23:40:19 +0000 UTCFor those who wanted some Commander 2020 to open and play with. I saw amazon has 4 of the 5 decks back in stock around 35, one is 40 something for some reason. No timeless wisdom though

2020-05-14 18:51:34 +0000 UTCWizards is $runk. I expect C20 to be on the shelves of walmart, in no time.

2020-05-14 17:46:07 +0000 UTCDamn Rudy...someone's gonna be busy in May LOL. I'm eager to get that T-shirt. I need to feel like I'm someone special wearing it :-)
Philip Chiu
2020-05-14 16:21:59 +0000 UTCNice. I bought a set for 250 since I didn't want to take a chance on the price spiking from a wizards announcement

2020-05-14 16:09:23 +0000 UTCAssuming you mean me. Not sure how asking questions qualifies as “throwing a sh*tfit.” I’ve asked two questions about it because I’m debating on if I’ll be buying a box from my LGS so I can guarantee I get copies of said cards. I’m relatively new here so I guess I wouldn’t know if questions are against the rules or something. That article is old and they have since said it was an internal mistake not including those cards. Know what your talking about before attacking people.
2020-05-14 15:38:14 +0000 UTCI think they can do a Secret Lair, other collector not sure.

2020-05-14 14:17:11 +0000 UTCIs Rudy's fault for complaining about size hahaha
Yoyigo Tintor
2020-05-14 14:17:05 +0000 UTCLimit 1 per patron so it should be stable :-)
Rudy The Magic Guy
2020-05-14 14:16:10 +0000 UTCYes Commander 2020 will be limit 1 to keep things stable :-)

2020-05-14 14:16:00 +0000 UTC+1, I had to explore other channel like "Cards with Michael" he is good try him

2020-05-14 14:14:36 +0000 UTCShirts are coming back!
2020-05-14 13:23:27 +0000 UTCRudy: Commander packaging is too big! Wizards: Let’s make commander more bulky!
2020-05-14 13:02:32 +0000 UTCI have been wanting to message rudy but due to the craziness, I will bring it up here, opinions please. Back in 2018 a video was uploaded about Hasbro preparing for the 2021 apocalypse, I can't imagine the copyright for godzilla was cheap in the ikoria set, do you think we are seeing a push getting into the pants of other collector from Godzilla franchise to boost sales before the selloff? Do you still think 2021 Hasbro sellout is still relevant today, and or why has your opinion changed. Forgive my English-thank you

2020-05-14 10:54:03 +0000 UTCI can’t wait for that flesh and blood bundle
Carl
2020-05-14 10:28:02 +0000 UTCThe real question is, why is everyone throwing a sh*tfit about the Japanese cards not being in English packs? That’s how they said it would be when they released the booster contents details here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/card-preview/collecting-ikoria-2020-04-02
2020-05-14 10:06:18 +0000 UTCRudy: With the imminent supply issues and the recent events with the IKO Collector's sale, will the purchase process for C20 be different than the past sales? I recognize there may be a full post on this coming shortly. I'm on the lookout for it.
2020-05-14 07:45:41 +0000 UTCWhat missing cards? Im not familiar with the problem.
Robert Sutphin
2020-05-14 05:19:41 +0000 UTCThis Commander release is going to be interesting... im hoping supply is not to limited

2020-05-14 05:08:34 +0000 UTCThank god my LGS sold me all Commander decks for $35 each...
2020-05-14 04:23:54 +0000 UTCRudy, if you get the 3 Godzilla singles from the collectors boxes, will you be sending them to patrons who purchased boxes? Or do you think you’ll even be getting them?
2020-05-14 04:13:42 +0000 UTCAlice Origins 3 for Force of Will TCG??
2020-05-14 03:46:14 +0000 UTCFlesh and Blood FTW
2020-05-14 03:40:49 +0000 UTCHas anyone sent rudy a taco from taco bell?

2020-05-14 03:11:21 +0000 UTCExcellent.
2020-05-14 03:10:45 +0000 UTCIt's always after allocation. We have at least 60 days.
Fasty
2020-05-14 03:10:40 +0000 UTCI believe his youtube username is JammedTCG
Eric Tracy-Cohen
2020-05-14 03:09:48 +0000 UTCI agree with vivas5. That dude in the Youtube comments (JammedTCG) deserves in on the T-Shirt pre-sale even if he his not a patron. Hell, I'll pay for his shirt! I look for that comment every time a video goes up. He is the sauce to the floppy taco.
Eric Tracy-Cohen
2020-05-14 03:07:06 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to get my hand on that FAB products.
William Arce
2020-05-14 03:05:21 +0000 UTCI vote for also letting the guy who comments on every YouTube video about shirt restock in advance when they are restock. Even if not a patron, he deserves it in my opinion
vivas5
2020-05-14 03:02:59 +0000 UTCTaking the reins! We all appreciate, the updates, and quick turnaround!

2020-05-14 03:02:59 +0000 UTCYou are a beast Rudy. :) I would still be just getting all the tape out on the boxes.
John Eicher
2020-05-14 02:58:17 +0000 UTCYou should crack open 1 of the cases of Commander 2020. I just opened all 8 for my store and none of them were a complete set. 14 copies of Enhanced Evolution and 1 copy of Symbiotic Swarm. Distributer said QC for this product is terrible because they are so far behind.
nathan barthels
2020-05-14 02:58:02 +0000 UTCGood job on taking a tough situation and doing your best to make it right. I hope that the Commander 2020 supply frees up so you can offer it to others. I was looking forwards to getting some from you, but I fully understand why you went the route you did right how.

2020-05-14 02:55:45 +0000 UTCWe appreciate your hard work and efforts to keep the train rolling! You've given us a insight on what it's like to own and operate an LGS (especially on your own). Thank you Rudy! You have our support man!
Blake Phillips
2020-05-14 02:54:57 +0000 UTCMy LGS said they wouldn't be getting those missing cards until June. So I'd say wizards is behind.
2020-05-14 02:54:37 +0000 UTCHave we gotten any word on regular Ikoria boxes yet or is that date still a mystery?
Eve Mizgala
2020-05-14 02:54:33 +0000 UTCHow about selling yugioh?
joseph gonzalez
2020-05-14 02:53:51 +0000 UTCYour hard work is much appreciated! Don’t forget to breathe and enjoy some fresh air here in there. 🤗
2020-05-14 02:52:57 +0000 UTCThank you Rudy for your tireless work!
