Wizards canceled the Magic Star Trek Beginner Box in every region.
It was a $119.99 box due November 13.
They blamed delays in production, logistics and shipping.
Anyone who preordered gets sent back to their local shop to sort it out.
No other Star Trek Magic products are affected.

Reality Fracture got delayed, now this one is dead. Do you keep taking Magic preorders, or stop promising dates until Wizards proves it can ship?

High grade vintage Pokemon is up over 3,400% since 2004, going by Card Ladder.
The S&P 500 is up 483% over the same stretch.
This year Pokemon is up 28% and the S&P is up 13%.
The shop owner who wrote that up says almost none of his Pokemon buyers play the game.

Stock Pokemon deeper into the holidays, or pull back because the buyers are all investors now?

Bushiroad says its first Palworld set sold 4.4 million packs worldwide.
That set only came out July 30.
A booster box is about $46 to $54 at MSRP.
The next set, Legends Awaken, is already announced.

Case order on Legends Awaken, or does every hot new game cool off before the second set lands?

Wizards says the Secret Lair x MSCHF Zeta Set preorder sale "was a disaster." Their words.
The queue fell apart. Orders went through with no confirmation, some people got two, and some failed in a way Wizards says it may not be able to track.
They say they will make it right once they know which orders actually landed.
ICv2's take: run it through distribution and let shops take the preorders.

Would Wizards move more of these through your shop, or do they keep it direct because the queue chaos is the marketing?
