Topic: Final Fantasy

'Ello, all

With FF release coming up, wanted to give the heads up - I have a couple collector's boxes coming between myself and a couple friends in my playgroups, so if there's anything specific you're looking for when it drops, list what you're missing and I'll see if I can find it between us.

Be well!

Re: Final Fantasy

I’ll be getting a box too. I’ll be looking for…everything lol. But Chocobos for sure.

Re: Final Fantasy

Will mainly be looking for the blue Y'shtola Rhul if anyone ends up with one for trade.

Re: Final Fantasy

I mean, I would love it all. As someone who played since the first game, I am hyped

Re: Final Fantasy

Getting two boxes even though I've never played a game in the series. Definitely going for a normal Kefka and normal Sephiroth. Also definitely keeping an eye out for Eye of Nidhogg, Eriette really likes that enchantment!

Probably won't have a chance at the Collector Booster lottery, more interested in the Neon Black Chocobo than the serialized.

Same. I fell out between X & XV, but am currently playing XVI, and the story & characters are amazing, despite the gameplay beign garbage.
REALLY hoping for a 5 color Rydia (FFIV) to helm my envisioned Saga Creature deck. Fingers crossed.

Which version? ;-)
She's disgustingly strong, so may get slotted into a deck, but I always swing for the full-art foils; anything beyond (or any duplicates) will be up for trade.

Already have you marked for duplicates/serialized.

I only get CB's, so I'll keep you in mind if I pull one.
Kefka's perfect for the character, and one I immediately considered building; Sephiroth is just mean, lol.

I wish Seph didn't target only one player, but even as is, he's still dirty in Aristocrats.

Any version for starters.

Re: Final Fantasy

There is very good chance that I may just end up buying singles because the CB boxes are just too expensive. I only ever played FF7 so I'll def be looking for cards from there, but once the whole set drops Ill get my wishlist updated. That being said, Im def willing to buy cards from people if I dont have anything you want to trade for smile

I'll keep an eye out - but because the wishlists only match up to inventory, asking you to list specifics here so I can check what my buddies pull and see if I can get them for you if I don't pull them myself ;-)

Magic takes a village, these days, lol.

Re: Final Fantasy

Oh I appreciate it, but judging by the spoilers Im at like 60 cards and counting that I will want to get a hold of haha.

I definitly know that Ill be after Cloud and Sephiroth Normal border foils at the top of my list.

But make sure you let your "village" know Id be interested to buy things as well. Hopefully you can vouch for me that Im reliable to deal with smile

You're in this group because I 100% will ;-).
I got you.

Re: Final Fantasy

Also looking for those Japan-exclusive promos, if anyone has a line on those.

Re: Final Fantasy

And all of my distributor orders are unfilled :,(

If anyone has a lead on an MSRP Collector's Box, I'd love you 5Ever.

Sadly, no one's following MSRP for this at this point - it's like it doesn't even exist.
I was lucky to lock in my boxes before things skyrocketed, but inquiring with my favorite LGS, even they've upped their prices over $700.

F'n insane. But I'll hit you up if I see anything.

This Screenshot is a whole story... Hopefully ya'll will do better

Losses based on $700 box cost, value earned at pre-release prices...  Woof.

Re: Final Fantasy

so its legit IP. how would it compare if boxes were 300 like the fallout ones

Good catch - but the only other one I'm aware of is the black one, at 551 (No designator). Might fill that 'e' slot, but odd they wouldn't include it on the card.

TBF...I'm not going into this expecting to break even. Prerelease prices are always bloated, and the boxes themselves are exorbitant. If I hadn't caught them when I did, I wouldn't be shelling out current pricing for them. But yea, agreed...hopefully everyone get what they want from them, at least.

Re: Final Fantasy

Wife pulled Vivi, I pulled foil Emperor, Hell Tyrant(Yawgmoth). Our CBs were kinda trash.

Re: Final Fantasy

For those of you getting Collector Boosters, I am particularly looking for an Extended Art Foil Black Waltz No. 3

I have one chance to get a CB at a decent price. My LGS isn't advertising, but talking the them, it's first come, first serve tomorrow. $580/ CB. I'm only wanting 1, but I'll be at the brewery next door waiting for them to open.

I'll watch for one for you.
In the same vein, my 2 major chase cards are Terra, Magical Adept (323 Foil), and Summon: Bahamut (356 Foil).
If I don't pull them, and anyone else does and is willing to part with them, I will 100% work to make a trade happen.

Everyone else, if you don't pull your chases, LMK, and I'll watch for them.
I am now at a total of 5 boxes between play groups, so hopefully decent odds to meet requests.
