Hidden Fates Elite Trainer Box REPRINT

100% confirmed for US release as well. Will be allocated and releasing “mid to late December”. A third wave of Champions Path ETB’s will be included with this as well, also allocated.

Interestingly I was able to pick up some cases that were offered to me of Unbroken Bonds. I have no idea if it was a very small reprint or just a distributor stumbling upon a pallet they had lost, but yeah that was a thing this week too.

If this isn’t the biggest " HOLD MY BEER " move from Pokémon to all the eBay resellers for $300-$400 a etb, and all the annoying financial youtubers saying they would never reprint something like this … then I don’t know what is.

Any word on the HF ball collections? Haven’t heard any news of those or the HF Rayquaza collection being included, just the ETBs.

It just goes to show that any set released within the last 5 years is fair game to be reprinted.

These are small print runs that wont make a dent in the market.

This.

The demand will obviously fall in the short term and you might see them around $100 for a week or so, but Hidden Fates is god-tier popular and these will shoot straight back up a month later.

We might get bailed out in the short-term because of the $1,200 stimulus from the feds but the whole idea that demand is “unlimited” at any price is simply not true. HF is god-tier popular now until the next god-tier popular set comes out.

@joetehman ETB is all I heard for now

There was small reprint. I’m curious if there is the errata’d Mismagius in the new print run.

You guys didn’t believe me huh…

HIDDEN FATES EVERYWHERE

Nice, will pick up a couple.

My local Walmart just restocked 6 tins of Hidden Fates, prob not the third wave or anything but still interest to note.

Nice that they might be available again in the US as well. And it would be great if the quality was a bit improved *cough* centering *cough*.

Halo guys,

I would like to know if this reprint will have something differents from the previous etb.

Could maybe change the date on lower part of the cards? Could be 2021?

Lol, thank God for that default avatar reminder.

No. And as far as we know, ETB packaging is staying the same since it’s mainly cardboard to begin with so doubtful any environmentally-friendly changes are going to be made. That could change between reprints. Print quality, packaging details, possible card texture (gloss and shine for instance — but that goes with print quality). Unlike base set WOTC that had been analyzed to the tee, there is almost no way to identify runs on modern… the only thing that I can think of is usually first prints include holo bleeds and subsequent print runs don’t.

Thanks for the explenation. I was worried about some evidence differences. So let’s just hope the quality of centering is higher !

Do I should leave that avatar and no change it ? Haha

I m new be kind!
