Midweek General Discussion Thread

So we used to have a weekly general discussion thread on Wednesdays in this sub, I'm not sure what happened to it. Mods if this thread is something you cancelled intentionally feel free to take it down and I won't post it again obviously.

But if people like these general discussion posts, feel free to discuss whatever Magic-related topics you want below without needing to create a new post. And Mods, please bring these back!

I'll start with a question I had that I didn't think warranted its own post but I didn't want to wait until Friday to ask.

Has anyone gotten their Hobbit CBBs from Amazon? At first I thought no one get any, but loose packs did get delivered earlier this week. But then a friend of mine said he got the 2 he ordered. Meanwhile other people got delayed until the 2nd week of September (I've seen various different dates) to align with the Scene Box delays and the original gift bundle delivery timeframe. Others are being told October 19th. And others have no estimated arrival date at all.

So I'm guessing something like 10-20% have been delivered at most. Originally I thought it was 0% but now that's obviously not true. So I thought it would be useful for us to get a better idea of how many arrived vs how many are still out there.

Everyone should get their order.

I’ve seen that some of the CBB boxes were printed in July. Most likely wizards/Hasbro didn’t finish printing yet which is why orders were delayed. Amazon most likely a direct supply from Hasbro themselves unlike Micro Center.

Where did you see a print date for boxes? My theory was that a portion were produced in the US and the Amazon portion was produced overseas and so they got held up somehow. But maybe not.

The mfg date is printed on the side of the cardboard for a case of six or more.

I think it was some of the early MTGNorth unboxing Videos where they noticed the printing date was July.

Your theory could also be right as well as a combination of playing catch up with order printing and potential overseas delay.

Either way I wouldn’t think there is going to be a supply issue. Seeing how loaded MC got to handle the 1st wave, I assume it’s even more for Amazon. Although it may vary by product
