Is there any explanation as to why there are no TDGS 1st Edition booster boxes (with the exception of the Sneak Peak)?

If it's a mistake, that's fine I suppose...  But I'm more curious to know if UDE did this on purpose without informing their stores.  The stores I ordered my boxes from told me they didn't know about the lack of 1st Edition until they received the boxes.

I've read online that there are no 1st Edition packs with the exception of the Sneak Peak and tins.  Is this true?  Can anyone shed some light on whether this is an accident or not?  And if it's not, will this be the format for pack releases from now on?

The cards didn't come out until just this week. You should be able to find boxes now.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I don't mean that I can't find ANY booster boxes.  My point is that the booster boxes which are being released are unlimited instead of 1st Edition.  And the problem is that there are supposidely no 1st Edition booster boxes being released.  I want to know why.

Wow, people are asking this all over. I don't know the answer, but once I'm forrader on BlizzCon and mall tour staffing, I'll see if I can find out. I guess I'm curious too.

Thanks.   This is indeed an oddity.  Usually we have about two or three weeks before Unlimited Editions hit shelves.  Now 1st has been bypassed entirely.



Very strange.

1st edition packs went into Wave 1 Tins and the Sneak Previews.

If you notice, the tins are very popular (Stardust Dragon selling out frequently).

You know, I think contractually we're only allowed to print so much 1st edition. The OP order, Sneaks, and the tins might have taken it all up. We've never done tins before the general set release (that I can recall) so that might explain it.

If OP product is all 1st ed, then the packs you get at Regionals, SJC's, etc. ought to be 1st ed.

This is pure idle musing on my part, and not based on me getting up and going around and asking someone who would actually positively know, though, so don't quote me as fact. I don't know for certain.

it's logical...  and that should mean the unlimited/reprint set shouldn't have a limit so you could even print more of LOB if you wanted to.

Start up the presses! The fans are pining for more Blue Eyes and Dark Magician action!

There is actually a process for getting more of a set printed, I vaguely remember hearing it at a meeting a while back. It sounded a bit complicated.

The sneak peek should have no barring on it, since only a minor percentage fo the players can get to the sneak peeks it can't really be counted as a wide release event.   And First editions being in the tins is strange since Tins have always used Unlimited in the past.

maybe its cool like this. Now our 1st ed cards can be worth something

draw power? who needs that if I have alot of cards in my hand.

Even I was curious about this. I was just thinking it was an error on our local shop's part. I didn't think it was happening all over as well. But yeah, it's saddening to see Charge of the Light Brigade in the case as an unlimited version. Just think of how much people will go nuts to pull a 1st ed version from their packs at Regionals and SJCs.
