This whole unavailable Awakenings debacle makes me wonder how bad that Amazon mistake was. Potentially thousands of extra boxes were shipped to customers. Who knows how wide spread that issue was. There were some people that got up to 10 boxes that should have been booster packs. Tons of people got 3 boxes, because they were sold in sets of 3 at a limit of 3 per customer. I can't imagine how many people who never said anything or posted anything and just pocketed their extra product. I'm wondering if they made enough to last for a long time and that stock got massively depleted by an Amazon mistake.

That would be an incredible error, enough that I would think FFG would take action or stop selling through Amazon. Were the box/pack mix ups sold directly by Amazon, or a 3rd party fulfilled by Amazon?

That probably had some effect because it encourages the people who lucked out to sit on them like a dragon hoard, but I'm pretty sure that there were going to be shortages no matter what. Here's a story from a local dude, that happened last week: quote:I played in my first Destiny tournament last night and I got a pretty bad one. I was killed by what was possibly the fastest Crime Lord possible. He was playing eJabba with Dooku.

I'm not exactly sure if they had a partnership or if Amazon purchased product to sell online and it was their mistake. If it was Amazons mistake, I imagine they repaid FFG, but Amazon is so huge you don't really want to ruin a relationship with them. I have no idea how it was fixed, I just know a bunch of people got shipped the boxes instead of packs. It's hard to tell exactly how widespread the issue was.

Of course, given that most people buying from LGSes were not able to get even as many as 3 boxes total over several waves, however widespread it was or wasn't it certainly mattered.

fozzy fosbourne posted:Miniature Market responded with this when accused of taking preorders and opening them for singles: The fact that they needed to address this is crazy. This is literally the standard for the TCG industry. I'm glad this game has attracted so many people to TCGs in general, but holy poo poo this is insane. On a lighter note, I got to play a 5 player free for all game last night, that lasted over an hour because we had someone playing hyperloop with Poe and 2 hired guns. I had eJango/trooper/trooper, there was a eJango/eVeers, an Kylo/nightsister/tusken raider, and a trooper/trooper/nightsister/Bala-tik as well. It was fun overall, though hyperloop made everyone's resources go insane, and I lost Jango in the second round. The eJango/eVeers player won shortly after the hyperloops stopped. Really enjoying the game so far, and my LGS is having a kick off tournament for out first league next week. $5 entry, with prizes being the OP kit as well as a Han for first place!

It's not the standard at all. This is the only game i've heard that has two separate prices, and i've purchased many different tcgs from many different distributors. It's pretty unique, almost to the point of being unbelievable if Asmodee/FFG wasn't in a league of their own right now.

Stores always allocate some of what they buy for singles and then have sealed product.I wouldn't be surprised if the differing prices had something to do with FFG being a little paranoid about singles, since they only allowed single cards to be sold a few months before Destiny released.

Buying different stock as a physical store is one thing, but buying separate stock as an online retailer and selling singles when you haven't even fulfilled your preorders (and have no idea when you can) is lovely.

I ordered 2 boxes from MM on December 30th and just got an email from them saying I won't get my order until February-March. When I placed the order online it said "January 2017". My wife really wants me to cancel the order and I"m tempted to but it's so tough to find product right now. I'll guess I just keep patiently waiting? This sucks.

I want to take apart my Jango/Veers deck because the deck is everywhere. It's also the worst deck outside of maybe a Padme mill deck to teach people with. The free activation on Jango confuses them; hell, it confuses me half the time because I try to take an action and realize my opponent who I let borrow the deck hasn't gone yet. It sucks that Blue Villain is the most expensive out of all the decks because I really want to try something with Vader.

*shrug* I gave my wife my Jango/Veers deck and she is not a gamer at all and only played with Rey starter before this, but I explained how Jango worked and she didn't miss a single activation with him. That deck is her favorite, now.

guts and bolts posted:Phone post Yeah it's a really explosive deck. Depending on the board state you can do a couple of different things. The worst thing that can happen is that he does first, activates Veers and Veers rolls well. Now if you activate Luke, Jango can activate and blow you out. So if Veers goes first you may want to spend some actions weakening his dice with Deflect or Use the Force or shoring up your defenses with Shields. Ideally you want to take an action or two that makes him activate Jango normally, but normally they will just pass and wait you out. It's easier if you go first, you can consider rolling Luke straight away, so if he rolls Jango he has no time to actually fix his dice. All that said if rolls well without fixing it hurts, concentrate on keeping Luke healthy enough that he can't burst him down with a God roll and I'd lean towards killing Jango first, their health pool is small and Luke can also roll serious damage.

I honestly might just give up soon and request a refund. I have two starters but that's all I've ever managed to get. Now I might not even get the box I preordered? Might be best to just cut out now and wait a year or two

Everyone I show this game to learns almost all the rules within the first turn. It's astounding. Later in the game more nuanced things like characters only having three shields/upgrades comes up, but the base rules are sooo easily understandable.

With how things are at this point it's actually kind of crazy how reasonable buying sealed product is. I bought a single box with that restock on the 13th, and even with keeping the rares and legendary stuff I wanted alongside playsets of commons and uncommons, I was able to sell off the remainder and make exactly my money back. You will consistently open like double MSRP in value if not more. It's all dried up again, but if I chance across any boxes and boosters in the wild I'm absolutely going to buy all of it that I can right now.

The last box I opened had a Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Jabba the Hutt, Commanding Presence and Kyle Rens Lightsaber. Just the Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are worth more than what I paid. It's kind of dumb how expensive this stuff is getting. I could sell the other 33 cards from the box and it would all be considered profit (if sold together as a lot), with just the 3 cards I mentioned covering the cost of the box, fees and shipping. Edit: Also, that Han Solo finally got me the 2nd one I needed to build eHan/eRey. Anyone got a good decklist? ShowTime fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 21, 2017 |

I know I'm looking for 1 more crime lord, 1 Jabba and about 10 more rares just to bulk out some extra decks and the cost of that in singles is about the same as a box. I know I thought I'd be just at singles at this point but if prices stay the same and I saw a box I'd be tempted.
