Disney Lorcana boosters on the way as prices climb 260% over launch
Disney LorcanaThe new card game combining classic animated movies with Magic the GatheringThe launch of -style mechanics has been rocky. Convention mishaps aside, there’s simply not enough product to meet the incredible demand. Ravensburger reported on Monday that the price of booster packs boxes had risen to 260% more than their original cost on one of at least two online markets. XHelp is on its way
“The October booster pack restock will begin to roll out at local game stores in North American starting next week,” the company said in its public statement. A full reprinting set of launch cards announced in September is scheduled to arrive by November’s middle.
Second set of cards Disney Lorcana” titled Floodborn: Rise of the FloodbornAlso, it is expected that.
“We hope that this reprint quantity will make the game more readily available,” Ravensburger said. “Our goal is for fans to have no difficulty finding product to get started.”
Since the launch of this game, local independent stores near me are rationing their product. Only a small number of products have been given to customers who show up regularly in store. For example, in Chicagoland most of the local stores Polygon spoke to only offer one or two boosters per customer who attends casual play events organized weekly. While competitions are rare, collectors and investors are grabbing the most valuable cards out of booster packs. It’s also likely that a large portion of the initial product launch is still sitting in private hands unopened, being hoarded by speculators gambling on its future value.
Ravensburger outlined in the same post its plan to kickstart organized football by 2024.
“We want to announce that starting in Q2 2024, we will have both official fan events and an official competitive circuit,” the company said, adding that these events will be a way for fans “to share their love of Disney Lorcana even if they may not necessarily play the game.”

However, retailers selling via Amazon are now offering the decks for almost $40. Sellers at TCGPlayer, however, are selling them for a much cheaper $17.
