People were upset and many just decided to hold their money for Modern Horizons 2, which was only 2-3 months away by this time. Within 2-weeks of release, anything in the $200’s was considered CHEAP! This proved to be catastrophic to the consumers as prices continued to climb and many were priced out of a great product.Īnd with no more printings of the set on the horizon, you either bought the packs and boxes as prices climbed or you threw in the towel. So what happened was that Time Spiral Remastered received a small print run (unfortunately) and booster box prices got out of hand and skyrocketed from the $150-$190’s to the $250-$275 range. What they didn’t factor in was the demand that would ensue once everyone found out that supply was going to be WAY more limited than expected. It was supposed to be priced somewhere in between their expensive premium Masters product (which runs $10/pack) and the regular Draft sets (which are closer to $5/pack.)īeing that Time Spriral Remastered booster boxes contained 36-packs and Masters booster boxes contained 24-packs, it looked like pack prices were going to be right in line with what Wizards/Hasbro wanted. This was the price that Wizards/Hasbro intended it to be. It was a small premium over the Draft Booster Box prices and not as expensive as Masters. Yep, times were good….if you could find boxes.īox Prices SPIRALED Out of Control in 2021!īack in the very early release time period (and pre-release), the initial price on Amazon and at local stores was $140-150/box. Stores that requested 1,000 boxes were only getting 300 and this sent people into panic-buying mode.īox prices took off from there within the first month of release. Soon enough, rumors started hitting that stores were not getting nearly the allocations they wanted. Some thought it would remain in stock for 1-2 years (sort of like Modern Horizons) but we all found out that that was not happening. The bottom line was that Time Spiral Remastered was a very unique product and the supply was not nearly what was expected. It didn’t take long for the box prices to go through the roof and shortly after release they were selling for 50-60% more than the release price. Look at all of the Magic sets released at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021:īut regardless of the glut, players and collectors couldn’t wait for Time Spiral Remastered. Within an 8-9 month span of time, Wizards of the Coast (well at this point it was really Hasbro – who purchased them in September 2019) had released SIX major sets.īy March of 2021, they were already sending Time Spiral Remastered to store shelves with a glut of other products already on the minds of players and collectors. Wow, time flies!Įarly 2021 was certainly a crazy time in the world of Magic The Gathering. It seems like just yesterday that I was looking for packs and boxes, yet we’re nearly 2 ½ years past the release date. Time Spiral Remastered arrived on shelves back on March 19, 2021. Let’s dive into this and I’ll show you why NOW IS THE TIME to get on board the Time Spiral Remastered train!Ī Step Back in Time: Time Spiral Remastered Hits Shelves In 2021 With Booster Box prices being SO LOW and single card prices from the set rising, it’s no doubt that Time Spiral Remastered is one of the best deals in Magic The Gathering right now.
