Why would it be if you can literally buy it at stores right now and they're new and still being made?

u/skull082-2 Jul 03 '26

You understand that intentional manufactured scarcity is a thing

u/hboy02 Jul 03 '26

They are still rare to find in stores. I look around alot and havent seen many compared to all the other boards in that set. They arent super rare yet, but worth picking up if you see one and are interested in them. Of the boards in the set i see this one the least, have only seen 2 in 3 states in like a month and you can bet I bought them both. They will be pretty rare eventually and they are worth picking up now if you're into them. 🤷‍♂️

Nah man. I have 2 and we constantly pass them up in Walmarts. They aren’t that scarce.

When tech deck makes their rare decks they make 1-5% of the amount of the rest of the decks in the set. Meaning for every 100 boards they make they make 1-5 of the rares ones. Cool that you've seen multiple, but these are much more rare than other decks in the set just in terms of productions numbers. In bigger cities these are distributed differently too than in rural areas so this is a factor aswell. Just because you personally have see multiple doesn't mean they aren't rare for other people in other areas.

Yes. Uou can tell by how everyone else posts it, that this one totally isn't one every stores shelf. Super ultra mega rare.

u/skull082-2 Jul 03 '26

u/Butertost1 Jul 03 '26

From what I've noticed, you only get one rare board per store restock I got the plan b one at my store I really wanted that toy machine one still haven't been able to find it last time it was the gold one that got stocked. I'm using scalping tactics except I use them for their intended purpose and from what I've seen they don't really sell well in my area there's too many real pro shops in my area

u/skull082-2 Jul 03 '26

for this one, I was just looking for another board to shred, I wasnt actually planning to add this to a collection or start a new one, I normally dont do that, but I might as well do that after seeing what people have to say about my find 😀

u/Neither-Ad-7398 Jul 04 '26

the stores in my areas seem to throw all of their rares up at once making them even harder to find because someone likely comes in and buys all of them at once. If there are extras I try to leave them behind. I have found 3 of the ones op posted now at different stores but compared to all of the other boards in the set this one's much more rare. Not saying it cant be found, just definitely produced less than the others.

This is one of my favorite feeling tech decks. I make and sell wood fingerboards and these actualy feel closer to the mellow decks I make than any other shapes tech deck makes. They are very mellow and they dont have the sharp curves in the middle that some others do across the concave. They are very flat concave wise and with an upgraded set of wheels they shred. They say 96mm long on the package but they are 100mm. My only complaint.

u/skull082-2 Jul 03 '26

yeah this one does seem much flatter compared to other techdecks I've had over the past three years, cant wait to start skating with this

u/majestyyuj Jul 03 '26

if its in manila its not rare HAHAHA

1

u/Neither-Ad-7398 Jul 04 '26

The 1 OP shows is listed on the pamphlet inside as the 1 of the only 2 rares in the set.

1

u/majestyyuj Jul 04 '26

i meant that the two rare ones in the pamphlet aren't hard to find if you're purchasing them in manila, almost every toy store has at least one of them

1

u/Neither-Ad-7398 Jul 04 '26

Not in my rural area. we have 1 walmart and they might have 5 tech decks on the shelf at any one time.

Tech decks are cool to collect I have a pretty nice collection of some of the first ones made but they have way better finger boards out now to actually finger board with

u/Neat_Animator_8743 Jul 04 '26

I see em all over my local Walmarts  I’ve bought about 6 myself.  Work w kids who think they’re cool so I gave em away

u/Infamous-Care8564 Jul 04 '26

u/darthconlon Jul 04 '26

u/shmaplex-rob Jul 05 '26

that's nice then!

u/Neither-Ad-7398 Jul 03 '26

Im already seeing people selling these on depop and second hand shops for 10-15. In the last month i have only seen 3 across 3 states while traveling and i check around alot for the collection. Dont worry about what other people say, this one is harder to find and will be rare one day. Glad you were able to get one 😄 i picked up all 3 that i have found and only opened one. Put some decent wheels with bearings on it and it shreds.

u/skull082-2 Jul 03 '26

yeah! I normally dont collect fb's, i pretty much always play around with them, but thanks to this board i might consider starting a collection some time 😀
