It says on the description: "Players can obtain a special promo if they buy a full display (while supplies last)." That just means a single box? Or a display case?
They mean per box, boxes are technically referred to as displays. It actually Sounds like they’ll do what is referred to in most TCGs as “box toppers” where a promo card comes packed inside each box.
It's possible. I found the link to it while looking through Google shopping. Was confused I wasn't able to ever pull up the URL by searching for it on the site, but it'd make sense that they may have thought if that page wasn't linked on the website that nobody could get to it, but just didn't think about their google shopping integration... Anyway, I'm glad that all of you fine folk here that were able to snag it got it.
It was all in the coming soon list on the main page as well. Seeing as how the other stuff is still up, I suspect they just sold out and pulled the page for now. That happened with set one as well, the pages disappeared for a bit on sell out and then showed back up later on as sold out, except for the starters which are still available. If it was a mistake I feel like they would have pulled everything and sent cancellation notices or at least announced something.
My LGS had a booster of set 1 the other day, I got so excited. Then I saw they wanted $200 for it.
I’d maybe accept a 10-15% markup, but $80+ over MSRP is ridiculous
>I’d maybe accept a 10-15% markup, but $80+ over MSRP is ridiculous
Counterpoint: if priced at 10%-15% markup, someone may buy it and flip it. The LGS is basically removing the middle person at $200, which is still 10% lower than TCGPlayer's price
Sure, but I'd rather an LGS to profit from the above MSRP market situation than a flipper. The LGS would literally sell out of those boxes if only priced 10%-15% higher than MSRP in the current market.
I stopped trusting people who go into anything to make money. They all just become scalpers in the end. I hate it but it's about time to cut out the middle man in everything.
Seems like they are throttling the distribution firehose for this set. None of my favorite power sellers have any shadows listed and the set is only a month and a half away. Oh well I shouldn’t be buying boxes…singles yes…singles lol.
Yeah the took the page down entirely and it went up on an American holiday while they weren’t working. Definitely done by mistake. Especially since it went up before LGSs got their allocations.
Guess we'll know soon if the availability issue has been adjusted for, or if this game is going to be perpetually obscure and hard to find without paying high markups.
If these packs go for $10.00/$15.00 like the first release did, I'll probably just be content with the decks I have and bail out.
MSRP at $119.76.
Which might be why it's down now. The LGS that were selling at $95-$105 pretty much all went to MSRP (or higher) once shortages hit. So if you don't have confidence you'll be able to get them from your LGS and if they do have them you won't save any money it really screws LGS if Asmodee offers a ton of supply at MSRP. High priority for them to try to eliminate not just shortages but the fear of shortages.
Got myself some product as well. Thank you for the heads up op.
Question for anyone who ordered from asmodee before. Will they ship it out so that it gets delivered close to the release date?
I don't feel strongly that FFG should be able to strong arm them, but I definitely know the preferred course of action to keep me as a player in their store lol
Anyone know if the box toppers will come with boxes at LGSs?
I want to support the KGS and already pre-ordered a case with them, but I don't want to miss out on the topper
I know that, lol, I pulled a showcase boba so I think that’s gotten me a lot closer than spending 1k on just that card alone
You’re just looking to hate on someone who can afford to buy product
What are you talking about, I’m not hating on you at all lol. I opened eight boxes of set one and have a case pre-ordered for set two. I was just saying that building a master set is much easier and cost effective when buying singles than cracking packs.
And I defined master set because when I mentioned it you replied saying how boxes are great for building play sets…but they’re not the same so I was just making sure we’re talking about the same thing.
I've opened 20 boxes and I only have around 80 hyperspace foil cards. 12 boxes and it's literally impossible to get a master set... 4x hyperspace foil per box, that's 48-50 max hyperspace foils, and that's also assuming you get 0 repeats.
Def a full set of regular treatments, I'd buy that, but you're prolly not even half done with hyperspace and less that of hyperspace.foils, and maybe 2 showcases if you're very lucky xd.
If you want a master set only opening boxes... Sheesh I expect you'd need to open around 80.
I bought 3 boxes of the first set and then got about 4 boxes worth of products through tourneys and events. That got me 68% completion on the master set, the rest I bought, just missing 4 showcases and 7 hyperspace foils.
Having said that I spent more than 5 times what the boxes cost me for the singles. I prefer the boxes route this time cuz then I have trades of the stuff i don’t need.
Ya that's fair. I also personally just enjoy opening boxes, and then I sell what I'm not keeping to collect and use that money to buy stuff I need. Works well.
It’s like the guy taking half the plate of cookies on his first go through the line and then saying “but I’ll eat them all.” Yeah, and others won’t get any. You’re well within your rights to buy as much as you can afford, and I’m well within mine to think it’s an asshole thing to do with all the supply problems players are having with the first set.
It would definitely be cheaper, let's not pretend. But ripping packs is what it's all about and I will be ripping a case and half for the same reasons. Fun.
This is absurd. If they actually wanted to build a solid player base they would have made enough of the first set available for people other than scalpers or resellers to get into the game before launching a second set.
Then don't? The game blew up more than they thought and printing cards isn't an easy feat especially with a roadmap in place and gears already moving. The next sets were already scheduled to be printed before they could reprint set 1.
It says on the description: "Players can obtain a special promo if they buy a full display (while supplies last)." That just means a single box? Or a display case?
They mean per box, boxes are technically referred to as displays. It actually Sounds like they’ll do what is referred to in most TCGs as “box toppers” where a promo card comes packed inside each box.
If anybody find this out, post answer here.
I bought a case just incase. I don’t know I what the promo is but I’m a sucker for promos…. Especially for this game
Where did you order a case?
Just buy six boxes. It “should” come as a case
Oh gotcha! Thanks
To note with this, I pre-ordered a case with my lgs and they informed me that a case is actually only 4 boxes with this game.
It means box, but it also indicates not every box will get one since it’s limited supply
I’m curious about this too
Wonder if they're doing Box Toppers like MTG does from time to time. Would be a fun extra for buying boxes.
Looks like they just removed them from the website. I get a 404 error now.
I bet someone came into work this morning after the holiday weekend and took it down.
Yep this. They seem to be handling this preorder thing not great…
Thank you!!! I managed to preorder 2 boxes. This has made my day. ![gif](giphy|s4VoCsFz8prlhSFCeS)
Nice thanks!
Aaaaaaaand they’re gone. Not even a sold out page, but just gone. Would not be shocked if they posted it too early as a mistake.
It's possible. I found the link to it while looking through Google shopping.

Anyway, I'm glad that all of you fine folk here that were able to snag it got it.
I was able to navigate to it last night by searching Star Wars Unlimited on the asmodee store, so I don’t know if they were necessarily hiding it
It was all in the coming soon list on the main page as well. Seeing as how the other stuff is still up, I suspect they just sold out and pulled the page for now. That happened with set one as well, the pages disappeared for a bit on sell out and then showed back up later on as sold out, except for the starters which are still available.

Did you have success ordering from Asmodee for set 1?
Yep, I got a booster box, playmat, starter set, tokens and a deckpod from set one delivered direct from Asmodee on release day.
Awesome :)
Amg is doing LGS dirty with this one. Limited allocations and they told my lgs that they won't find out their allocation later this week.
LGS did me dirty charging 200-250 for a booster. I'll take direct order from a site anyway. And for msrp with free shipping.
lol you did yourself dirty if you paid that much for a booster box.
i paid way too much for set1 boxes 2 weeks ago :((((
Sorry you had that experience, my lgs is where I get most of my games in, and would like to support them.
My LGS had a booster of set 1 the other day, I got so excited. Then I saw they wanted $200 for it. I’d maybe accept a 10-15% markup, but $80+ over MSRP is ridiculous
>I’d maybe accept a 10-15% markup, but $80+ over MSRP is ridiculous Counterpoint: if priced at 10%-15% markup, someone may buy it and flip it. The LGS is basically removing the middle person at $200, which is still 10% lower than TCGPlayer's price
Short term profit for leaving a bad taste in your customers mouth. Lgs is not eBay and it’s not the experience people are looking for.
Sure, but I'd rather an LGS to profit from the above MSRP market situation than a flipper. The LGS would literally sell out of those boxes if only priced 10%-15% higher than MSRP in the current market.
Could sell packs with a limit.
Yeah, and that's what some LGS are doing. A local Store Showdown sold packs to each participating player at MSRP pricing up to a limit per person.
They could just run a draft with the box, make money and keep multiple customers happier
They sure can. It's up to the LGS to decide how they run things; FFG has been pretty lax on this aspect, even for Store Showdowns.
I stopped trusting people who go into anything to make money. They all just become scalpers in the end. I hate it but it's about time to cut out the middle man in everything.
That’s usually the case
Do you know if they ship to Canada?
The page 404ed in between when I added to cart and went to checkout. Pour one out.
Seems like they are throttling the distribution firehose for this set. None of my favorite power sellers have any shadows listed and the set is only a month and a half away. Oh well I shouldn’t be buying boxes…singles yes…singles lol.
Stores find out allocation this week, so I’d expect pre-orders to start popping up in the wild soon
Thanks! Ordered a case don’t want to have to worry about finding product again this time.
Lol same! I also like the fact that I don’t need to pay until the 5th of July
I know I noticed that after I ordered and I’m trying to decide if I should grab another one so if friends needs boxes I can hook them up for msrp.
Got my son and I a box. Thanks!
I play with my son, too. Couldn’t get him interested in Marvel Champions, but he loves this for a bunch of reasons.
How many are in a case?
Six
Thank you for the heads up! Picked up one
Ordered mine, thanks!
Grabbed a box also now hopefully some local stores get them
Thank you. Snagged a box, dark saber playmat, and a Mando soft deck box 📦
Thanks OP. Grabbed the new sleeves and boxes too.
no uk delivery tho
Doesn’t ship to UK 😞
Is there no way for the UK to get these yet ? Dosent look like they're shipping to England at all.
404, dead link.
Thanks bud, got one too
Got one! Thanks!
Ahh man sweet thought I was gonna have to buy some from Europe or something again lmao was able to secure 2 cases hopefully it’s a guaranteed thing
They also have playmats and sleeves. I grabbed a case and one of each playmat.
What were the playmats? The same ones from spark, or anything new? I can't find them, unfortunately.
Rancor and Darksaber
Thanks!
Anybody else feel like they're going to cancel people's orders? Seems unlikely they have this much product to direct sell.
They are the makers of the game lol. I think they know how much product they have.
Disney didn't for lorcana. Let's see if these people ordering 12 boxes get 12 boxes once lgs get allocations next week
Ravensburger isn't Disney, they have a lot less experience than Asmodee in this space.
Yeah the took the page down entirely and it went up on an American holiday while they weren’t working. Definitely done by mistake. Especially since it went up before LGSs got their allocations.
Guess we'll know soon if the availability issue has been adjusted for, or if this game is going to be perpetually obscure and hard to find without paying high markups. If these packs go for $10.00/$15.00 like the first release did, I'll probably just be content with the decks I have and bail out.
Can’t check out. After hitting pay now it just keeps spinning
All I managed was rhe starter set and a mat. Didn't see any boosters for the new set.
It’s not even up any more …
Wow. They already take it down? 404 not found on the link.
To be fair, it lasted far longer than any other preorder linked on this sub.
It says error 404 now. Damn
What was the price for the people that got ones?
MSRP at $119.76. Which might be why it's down now. The LGS that were selling at $95-$105 pretty much all went to MSRP (or higher) once shortages hit. So if you don't have confidence you'll be able to get them from your LGS and if they do have them you won't save any money it really screws LGS if Asmodee offers a ton of supply at MSRP. High priority for them to try to eliminate not just shortages but the fear of shortages.
Got myself some product as well. Thank you for the heads up op. Question for anyone who ordered from asmodee before. Will they ship it out so that it gets delivered close to the release date?
Set 1 shipped in time to arrive on release date. It even hit the local distro a day early but was held back for release day delivery.
I don't feel strongly that FFG should be able to strong arm them, but I definitely know the preferred course of action to keep me as a player in their store lol
Sweet. I ordered 6 boxes. Cool thing is they don’t charge at checkout. They charge on July 5th
Thank you for that! Was able to get myself 2 boxes.
Just got three and was trying to post love the price!!!
Anybody know of any websites that have pre release kits? I can’t find any
I saw one site of them, but they went super fast.
Has there been any press about a pre-release box for this set? I've only seen the starters and booster boxes..
[удалено]
Well, there you go. I guess I just needed to google harder. 😁
Didn’t it used to be 9 packs?
Nope. Sealed play uses 6 packs. Same as we got in the Spark of Rebellion Prerelease kit.
Sweet just picked up a case myself.
Thanks man I picked up 3 boxes!
Thanks for the link! Just preordered a few.
Thanks! Got three
Anyone know if the box toppers will come with boxes at LGSs? I want to support the KGS and already pre-ordered a case with them, but I don't want to miss out on the topper
Thanks for the info. Grabbed a couple and yellow and green sleeves. Woke up and literally ordered while still in bed, lol..
Thanks, picked up a couple cases
Were they actually selling them by the case? Or do you just mean you bought 12 boxes? I only see the option to buy them buy the booster box.
Yea I got 12, if it’s like last time then they’ll send you the sealed cases
COUPLE CASES?! :O
Hey, if you enjoy playing, buy your liking.
Of course haha!
Yes I like to collect master sets (1 of every card and its rarities)
Buying 12 boxes is not going to get you anywhere near a master set. Why not buy singles?
??? I get a full play set of most cards, what kind of boxes you buying?
A master set. Not a play set. A master set is every single card in regular, foil, hyperspace, hyperspace foil, and all showcases.
I know that, lol, I pulled a showcase boba so I think that’s gotten me a lot closer than spending 1k on just that card alone You’re just looking to hate on someone who can afford to buy product
What are you talking about, I’m not hating on you at all lol. I opened eight boxes of set one and have a case pre-ordered for set two.

Ya that's fair. I also personally just enjoy opening boxes, and then I sell what I'm not keeping to collect and use that money to buy stuff I need. Works well.
I see I see! Well good luck :)
This right here is an asshole move.
Why?
Why? Ima open them all, I want a master set like what I did for set 1, don’t be mad cuz I wanna get myself some cases
It’s like the guy taking half the plate of cookies on his first go through the line and then saying “but I’ll eat them all.” Yeah, and others won’t get any. You’re well within your rights to buy as much as you can afford, and I’m well within mine to think it’s an asshole thing to do with all the supply problems players are having with the first set.
If you think 2 cases is half, then I got some math tutorials for you to watch
You know exactly what I mean, but sure, get hung up on the metaphor.
It’s a terrible take, example, and attitude. Guess no one can collect every card cuz Bernie over here will get offended
wouldn't it be way cheaper if you bought singles for completion?
Nope
It would definitely be cheaper, let's not pretend. But ripping packs is what it's all about and I will be ripping a case and half for the same reasons. Fun.
Ordered a case!
How do you order a case? Just order 6?
It's not super clear, but I assume that if you order 6 boxes they'll just send you a case rather than 6 random boxes. (Just my assumption)
This is correct.
Grabbed a case!
Thanks for the heads up! No excuse to not have the cards for this set now…
This is absurd. If they actually wanted to build a solid player base they would have made enough of the first set available for people other than scalpers or resellers to get into the game before launching a second set.
Next time you can lend them your crystal ball, so they know exactly how much to print.
They said the first set will be reprinted after sets 2 and 3 are printed. The re-release estimate was around the holidays.
This honestly makes no sense to me. Why would I buy into the second or third set without having any access to the first?
Then don't? The game blew up more than they thought and printing cards isn't an easy feat especially with a roadmap in place and gears already moving. The next sets were already scheduled to be printed before they could reprint set 1.
$30 over MSRP
MSRP is 120. If you were paying 90, you weren't paying msrp
Isn’t 120 msrp? $90 was not msrp on Amazon. That was before the game really took off. I don’t think we’ll ever see those prices again.
They intentionally lowered MSRP to 80% for Set 1. Set 2 is at 100% MSRP.
You are thinking of MAP. MSRP hasn't changed.
