Print Runs = Unstable and Pokemon
Added 2018-02-06 19:01:19 +0000 UTCApparently Pokemon and Wizards of the Coast are ACTUALLY throttling back print runs due to a weak market.
I am confirmed at 10 unstable boxes...thats it. Its so small i will leave it at the local store. Everyone bought over a 1,000 boxes the first time around. It will never be offered again. I expect Unstable Booster Boxes to settle at 150.00 a box and be over 200.00 a box by next year. I highly recommend keeping your boxes sealed if you havent opened them.
Next up, the new pokemon set Ultra Prism, is a HUGE success for the first time in the last couple sets. It is selling out at most stores. Pokemon just sent all 5 distributors nationwide a small restock estimated at 1 pallet each.
Most stores have orders already in place to buy anything they can.
I am currently SOLD OUT of Ultra PRISM BOXES.
Pokemon USA has stated they will NOT be REPRINTING or releasing another wave in the near future. This is the first time in 5+ years that pokemon released a product...it sold out...and they are moving on.
I still think there is a chance of a reprint in 6-12 months down the road. (my opinion)
The facts are...its the HOTTEST set in a long time. The supply is cut off. Its going to jump to 110-150 a box in the coming months. Most stores have 0-6 boxes right now. This is a very very weird situation.
Be careful, the last time this happened roaring skies went to 300.00 a box...received a reprint and collapsed.

2018-02-20 22:11:51 +0000 UTCJust became a patron & didn't realize you didn't have unstable. Too bad the second pint run was so small. It is a fun set that I bought for my son then got hooked myself.
2018-02-20 13:33:28 +0000 UTCWould you rather have a position in unstable or magic 25? I can get one or the other.
2018-02-08 23:11:26 +0000 UTC@CreepyRudy Any chance of the new MTG duel decks?
2018-02-07 23:24:37 +0000 UTCMasters 25 better be good... been saving up for it...

2018-02-07 16:12:38 +0000 UTCRudy and other patreons. Pokemon stopped production on ultra Prism most likely because of the misprint of Cyrus Prism. I tried to buy a cheap case on eBay just now and the seller told me that was the reason. Here is the link I am sure they will do another print run of ultra prism. I’m not banking on that Cyrus card to be worth anything. <a href="http://www.pokebeach.com/2018/02/cyrus-prism-star-likely-to-be-corrected-in-future-print-runs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.pokebeach.com/2018/02/cyrus-prism-star-likely-to-be-corrected-in-future-print-runs</a>

2018-02-07 00:12:12 +0000 UTCPlease let us know if you are planning on trying to get ahold of any Ultra Prism, I missed the boat and still need to get two booster boxes for the kids. If you don't think it'll happen I'll have to try before they jack up the price at the LGS

2018-02-06 22:37:39 +0000 UTCWill the new mtg sets get the same treatment to increase interest in the new products?
2018-02-06 22:27:48 +0000 UTCThanks for the info Rudy!! Got my fix and a few boxes still sealed.
2018-02-06 21:36:33 +0000 UTCI guess I will keep my two unopened boxes of it sealed then. IM curious to see what the price ends up being.
