~ August 2019 - Mid Month Update ~
Added 2019-08-18 00:45:27 +0000 UTCPlease allow me 3 more days to finish auditing all the Commander 2019 orders.
Over 50+ people have contacted me regarding wrong addresses combined with another 300+ people asking if i received the payment has slowed the process substantially.
Expect delays on responding for the next couple days until everything is back to normal next week.
At this time, all orders will be honored and no one will be refunded, unless the payment is from an unrecognized person.
About 70% of all C19 orders have been processed and tracking numbers have been emailed so far.
Please wait until Saturday 8/24/2019 before asking me why your tracking has not updated yet.
On to the important stuff
The New Force of Will Booster boxes will go on sale in the next 7 days. Price will be the same as before and the cheapest in the country. I will sell out very quickly, i only have 60 boxes this time due to me reducing the pre-order this time until the new FoW Corporate proves themselves. Then i will raise it back up in future sets.
A 3-pack variety pack will be available September 1st
TO my surprise....2 distributors have stated i might actually get a LARGE position of Throne of Eldraine Collectors boxes...if this comes true...i will offer it to the patrons below market price. One originally stated i would only get 48 boxes...and now they revised it to 855 boxes...i think this might have something to do with the same large magic store that is in trouble. Fingers Crossed! If this works out, i will be offering The collectors boxes at release and then the Standard Throne of Eldraine boxes after allocation period for the normal 79.99 shipped.
A lot of rumors have been swirling about another wizards price increase. At this time it appears this is a side effect of tarrifs/distributors charging higher prices for NON-usa stores. I do not believe this will have any impact on usa distribution. Although...i do expect another wizards price in crease in 2020. They have raised prices every 2-3 years, i expect this to continue.
I heard more rumors about another Commander Anthology in Mid 2020 NOT 2019.
I have CONFIRMED that a "spicy" set is coming in the 4th quarter. This appears to be confirmed from a high up individual i spoke with on the phone. This individual attended the quarterly wizards meeting with distributor owners. But he would not give me any additional information due to non-disclosure laws. Im nervous because its probably going to be priced high...
Rumors are starting to swirl about Modern Horizons going out of print and not restocking distributors anymore. I cannot confirm this information, but will ask about it next week after the Commander 2019 launch is complete.
I will warn everyone, if the information is accurate and Modern horizons boxes are not being restocked, i will pull the boxes off the patron list within 24 hours of receiving that information.
That is it, thanks again everyone for the support, be nice and play nice to everyone :-)
-Rudy

I’m wondering if Rudy was able to get more of the CE was because preorders with the distributors are slow? I know I as a store owner I’m cautious to buy much CE since it’s hard to afford boosters, Prerelease kits, bundles, planeswalker decks, brawl deck, and a CE in a 2 week time period. Not to mention that a lot of my customers don’t even know the CE even exists or what it is.
2019-08-27 03:24:24 +0000 UTCRudy, your delivery was fast and impeccable. As long as the patreon and PayPal are properly set up, Rudy handles his side of the transaction perfectly. Even bought floppy tacos in celebration, though my stomach gave my intestines a roundhouse kick in response.

2019-08-24 07:37:27 +0000 UTCMy order for C2019 has a tracking # but says it hasn't been shipped... I'm scared!

2019-08-23 21:39:46 +0000 UTCgot my commander decks as well, already had a few hours of fun with them, hope to have many more! Thanks Rudy! You da man!
2019-08-23 11:21:05 +0000 UTCI searched over and over for email confirmation. I must have just overlooked it or missed it, because my Commander 2019 order showed up yesterday, Thursday the 22nd. Way earlier than expected! Thanks, Rudy! This dumb Timmy apparently doesn’t know how to check email. Haha!!
2019-08-23 10:52:40 +0000 UTCThere’s still a lot of MH1 on the open market unfortunately
2019-08-23 01:38:19 +0000 UTC2019 commander received today all good thanks Rudy! Hopeful that MH goes out of print just like Dominaria with little to zero notice.
2019-08-23 00:31:41 +0000 UTCYes sur.
2019-08-23 00:03:51 +0000 UTCTy very much appreciate it
2019-08-22 22:08:21 +0000 UTCNo worries...its messages in the upper left hand corner on android mobile.
2019-08-22 21:48:04 +0000 UTCI’m new to these chat pages need to figure out how to DM him. Don’t laugh I’m 50
2019-08-22 21:42:45 +0000 UTCDM Rudy here in patreon to find out...likely.
2019-08-22 21:41:11 +0000 UTCDoes he ever sell Onslaught? I’m an old player who’s been away for years but his videos popped up in my feed and he got me wanting to collect and play again
2019-08-22 21:38:27 +0000 UTCLikely.
2019-08-22 21:32:31 +0000 UTCYa they are gonna be 2-3x that price lol.
2019-08-22 20:36:03 +0000 UTCHonestly I would buy 3 boxes of Eldraine CE's at if they're like $99.99. I love the art of the previews so far.
2019-08-22 19:37:27 +0000 UTCTy sir appreciate it
2019-08-22 17:57:31 +0000 UTCThere's always boxes to buy. You just have to look at the previous post for each months buy list
GhostUnit
2019-08-22 17:56:20 +0000 UTCJust became a subscriber. Love the videos you make an old man laugh. No boxes to buy I’m a sad panda 😭
2019-08-22 17:31:39 +0000 UTCMine too. The Bob's must be working overtime!
Karl Zipple
2019-08-22 15:04:37 +0000 UTCWill there be a 24hr notice for the Force of Will?
GhostUnit
2019-08-22 03:29:40 +0000 UTCMy first shipment from Timmy's shady emporium arrived today
2019-08-22 02:05:14 +0000 UTCLol
2019-08-22 01:48:15 +0000 UTCCreepy Rudy is breaking street date.... Shady business from a shady guy, but I got my stuff.
2019-08-22 01:11:14 +0000 UTCCan't wait to jump on those Eldraine Collector boxes! Gimme the bling, Old Man Rudy!
2019-08-21 22:02:22 +0000 UTCI got my commander 2019 today!
2019-08-21 21:03:13 +0000 UTCIf it makes you feel any better I purchased the minute the sale started at 6:00pm and still haven’t gotten my tracking 😂 That’s ok tho I know he’s busy
2019-08-21 16:24:43 +0000 UTCGot my tracking at 9:40pm last night. Pretty sure I was the last one or atleast the last 5 because I submitted mine at 9:44pm the day it opened.
2019-08-21 13:04:54 +0000 UTCHey Rudy I sent you a message.
2019-08-20 22:08:26 +0000 UTCWhen in doubt, always diddle until your Timmy tingles.
2019-08-20 15:48:34 +0000 UTCI guess diddling my Timmy tingle worked. Got my tracking last night!!!
2019-08-20 13:05:29 +0000 UTCLol 48 to 855.... Ruby on the phone with two distributors... Ruby-“Jesus Christ the spread on these tacos is huge...so if I sell Mythic Timmy Edition taco boxes at $10,000 my commission is $5000?” Distributer-“If you sell $10,000 worth of this Timmy Edition Taco box I’ll personally take you out back and hose you for free..and I hope it happens” -The Wolf of Magic
2019-08-20 04:50:30 +0000 UTCI'm going to go diddle my Timmy Tingle while I wait.
2019-08-19 21:17:27 +0000 UTCYes, I know he's behind. I read the info.
2019-08-19 19:32:43 +0000 UTCRudy is behind, as per his "Please wait until Sat 24th to message him" Nothing wrong with asking others...just letting you know in case you missed it.
2019-08-19 19:29:40 +0000 UTCYou know, it's funny...I asked him last week and he said, he had already presold them all, but the demand was so high during the presale...it crashed paypal during orders, and everyone's order got cancelled, in frantic dismay he relisted them and lowered the amount to only 10k...sooo he is now sending all who ordered one an apology taco instead. I immediately sold mine on ebay. At least paypal gave me a free $20 gift card for my frustration.
2019-08-19 19:13:15 +0000 UTCHas anyone received tracking notice lately etc...?
2019-08-19 19:11:10 +0000 UTCHahaah...I hear ya...just remember the success or failure of these CBs are FULLY dependent on the playerbase's acceptance or rejection of Throne of Eldraine! (Unless they do good reprints in the set...I'm thinking they will...this is their "Mythic edition" now and want to capitalize and ensure it's success...Project Fun! SMH...😂) Here's hoping for it being an AWESOME set, good reprints or no! 😁
2019-08-19 19:01:04 +0000 UTCRudy when are you going to offer up those taco slot machine trucker hats? I'd rock one of those at the office for sure!
2019-08-19 16:50:53 +0000 UTCI am ready to go to pound town on one of those Throne of Wallet Drain collector boxes. Rudy is a legend tho. Facts. Thanks for the info.
2019-08-19 16:48:47 +0000 UTCOk. Thank you!
Erich Westrich
2019-08-19 03:40:43 +0000 UTCNope... preorders at 80 for "draft" boosters and ~230 for the collectors. Draft is 36 packs, collectors is 12 packs.
2019-08-19 03:15:52 +0000 UTCSo the collectors edition is the same price as the booster box?
2019-08-19 03:14:48 +0000 UTCForce of Will is its own TCG.
2019-08-19 03:13:33 +0000 UTCWhat are the Force of Will Booster Boxes?
Erich Westrich
2019-08-19 01:40:30 +0000 UTCI can't figure out if this is serious or no?
2019-08-19 00:18:47 +0000 UTC"Dear Rudy: PLEASE buy my 300 HASCON EXCLUSIVE SETS"- I would not buy one. But what if 300 out of your 4000 patrons would?
Jonathan S
2019-08-18 21:05:16 +0000 UTCMay be a wise move, maybe not. Definitely not as risky. 😁 Plan on getting one CB booster box myself.
2019-08-18 19:44:56 +0000 UTCGah. I think I am going to hold out for the Q4 product Rudy was referencing. I think that might’ve a better investment. If I can get in lol. Missed out on the last offer. Was asleep! 🤨
2019-08-18 19:22:00 +0000 UTCThey aren't necessarily bad for short term investment...just very high risk (currently) ...especially without an established market for this type of product (previous CBs weren't successful). These are basically gonna be blindly ordered, hyped "premium" cards of the unknown. 😁 If the set goes over really well and If the product is truly limited...potentially a very good short term investment...but that's too many ifs.
2019-08-18 18:56:03 +0000 UTCThought the Timmy boxes were bad? Is there a history of good investment on items like these?
2019-08-18 18:41:27 +0000 UTCmake sure he has your mail address somewhere... either in the message or on your patreon
2019-08-18 18:26:44 +0000 UTCJust want to verify since I haven't done it before, to purchase 6 boxes, I go to paypal, send money and leave a comment about which 6? Just send 479.94?
2019-08-18 17:50:08 +0000 UTCOh wow, didn't even realize Throne of Eldraine was going to have a collector's edition Timmy box. Very excited for this set. The release date of October 4th is too far away! At least we get the new IT movie in September :D
2019-08-18 12:02:37 +0000 UTCThanks for being awesome Rudy
2019-08-18 07:13:09 +0000 UTCLol...the gaming cycles of the magic player...trust me..it's never ending. Wait...you already know. 😉
2019-08-18 04:01:04 +0000 UTCI started collecting around 4th edition and I bought a ton of fallen empires and homelands. I lost track of magic until I found friends at scout camp to play with and jumped back into collecting with kamigawa. I bought a bunch of time spiral and lorwyn then dropped out of magic entirely. Then I found your opening videos. I have a bunch of duel decks and almost all the from the vault sealed. You sucked me back in right before wizards drops Throne of Timmy boxes. Curse you Rudy!😉
Erich Westrich
2019-08-18 03:49:21 +0000 UTCOrdered in the first five minutes and I haven't been refunded so I must be in the 30% of people waiting on tracking information. Looking forward to the Eldraine collectors boxes, hope I've got funds when the time comes. Thanks Rudy!
2019-08-18 03:10:22 +0000 UTCThank you for all your hard work Rudy. Keep it up!
cody w mitchell
2019-08-18 03:08:53 +0000 UTCSounds like my wallet will be taking a beating later this year. Hopefully don’t go to pound town on those Eldraine collector boxes!
2019-08-18 02:49:02 +0000 UTCUnrecognized person? Rudy DM time.
2019-08-18 02:47:13 +0000 UTCI got refunded the next day
2019-08-18 02:41:47 +0000 UTCIf nobody was supposed to be refunded how come I was ??? I don’t get it
2019-08-18 02:41:18 +0000 UTCThanks for the update, super excited about the throne collectors boxes
2019-08-18 01:51:30 +0000 UTCRudy just likes to "keep it real", and we love him for it! Right? 😛
2019-08-18 01:38:43 +0000 UTCLmao...priorities my dude...you decide! 😁
2019-08-18 01:37:08 +0000 UTCYup! The future is interesting.
2019-08-18 01:36:36 +0000 UTCLol
2019-08-18 01:36:02 +0000 UTCThanks for the transparency and update. Keep it up!
Joseph Turner
2019-08-18 01:35:49 +0000 UTCVery much glad to hear it! I wish E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E played magic, even previous players ofc! 😁
2019-08-18 01:35:24 +0000 UTCRudy, thank you very much for the update. I do hope all the C19 orders and tracking calm down soon! Thank you for your hard work ;u; Also, excited for the Throne of Eldraine collector boxes.
2019-08-18 01:32:56 +0000 UTCsending positive vibes for collectors boxes!
2019-08-18 01:10:29 +0000 UTCYes he is and that is why my wife will probably be leaving me 😅
2019-08-18 01:09:18 +0000 UTCOh man Rudy is saying some real spicy things
2019-08-18 01:03:05 +0000 UTCBtw the price of commander sets did go up 15$ to 183 online and in stores where I am in southern md
2019-08-18 01:02:57 +0000 UTCGlad I have got my shipping confirmation. These guys are fools trying to get over on Timmy. Damn shame!
2019-08-18 01:02:12 +0000 UTCAhhhhh...hahahaha... no sir, it's "Project Fun!". --MaRo
2019-08-18 00:56:46 +0000 UTCOhhhh baby gimme those Throne of Eldraine collector boxes!!! I am actually so hyped for Eldraine...I am in love with the style...can't wait for the set. I will probably get back into paper magic just for that set. Hopefully Rudy gets a good supply of the collector boxes...can't wait!!! Rudy you the real MVP brutha.

2019-08-18 00:56:41 +0000 UTCYes, yes it would.
2019-08-18 00:55:44 +0000 UTCSounds like it's inbound?!?!
2019-08-18 00:55:24 +0000 UTCAgreed!
2019-08-18 00:54:55 +0000 UTCThanks Rudy for the info bro.
2019-08-18 00:54:17 +0000 UTCI want a couple of the throne of wallet drain collectors boxes!
Chris Scott
2019-08-18 00:54:04 +0000 UTCDo you know if you’ll give heads up for the force of Will set?
2019-08-18 00:53:31 +0000 UTCWow, thanks for the info Rudy! Appreciate the diligent work you are doing.

2019-08-18 00:51:46 +0000 UTCI believe it's sportsandmore although they have switched their efforts to TCG
