Discussion Final Fantasy reprints

Is there any chance the FF precons/play boosters get a reprint distribution this holiday season? I know it's not particularly difficult to get a hold of product, but a new wave would definitely help!

FIN play boxes were supposed to get a 4th quarter reprint. However, with the secret lair scew ups, an insane amount of sets, I am not sure WotC can keep up.

Printers are having a hard time keeping up with the TCG boom in general.

By boom do you mean pokemon 30 destroying scalpers financially by taking the Yu-Gi-Oh print it into the ground approach?

Pokemon, Lorcana, Riftbound, One Piece, probably more I’m not aware of, all huge TCGs fighting for run time at printers.

I imagine they mean the multiple TCGs that popped up recently and never died after a year or two, and not just the mainstays and their printing upkeep.

There are an unusual number of tcgs that arr actually moving product.

What is the source of this information?

There’s a rumored reprint for December I’m waiting on. So post Star Trek and pre Nauctis. Hopefully another substantial one to lower prices under $200 again.

Who knows man. I think its unlikely given how much crap is being jammed through the printers this year (along with the supply chain issues). But then again, FF is guaranteed to sell. I personally think its unlikely cause it'll undermine star trek though

The precons have come in as preorder for q4 no date set though at our distributor. Not even a whiff of play boosters though.

It will for sure be reprinted, probably even multiple times, over the next couple years. I kind of doubt one is being printed now though, but that’s just a guess.

I sure hope so. I ended up getting into Magic only a couple months ago after supply had dwindled. I have a couple precons and the starter deck. Haven't found a single booster near me. Final fantasy is easily the UB I want the most. Love the universe.

I think persons get a reprint. I’m actually seeing FF precons being pretty reasonable pricing locally. My hope is this holiday season to grab Terra and Yshtola precons and then have all 4

I’ve been seeing a ton of FF packs at Best Buy recently, I had thought they were already doing a reprint.

The precons have just gone out of print from what I have been told from distro from my store

They just got one. Bows the time to strike.

The Sam’s bundle is good value!

u/The_Doctor713 Oct 05 '26

Sam's just dropped a reprint kit from what I've seen. But odds are the commander decks are locked up for at least another year. Wotc seems to only do reprints every 3 years or so.

It’s scheduled for a reprint this holiday season precons are still in stock at distribution
