He reminds me of a stock market analyst not knowing fundamentals, just looking at chart movements, thus seeing Hasbros hope in manipulating sales channels or new card variants.. More interesting discussions are around if WOTC should go back to blocks, thus able to pool creative resources for three sets, instead of frittering them away in single set products like Karlov Manor or Thunder junction with no appeal to get bought, or serialized cards or which other IP to be integrated in a Secret Lair.

RUDY HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF HASBRO LETS GOOOO

[@KevinLopez-jf5ys]

Rudy Takeover Hostile! (I don't think Timmy's know what that actually means)

[@johncameron5884]

Thanks for another solid vid, Rudy. In my mind, the next most prudent bottom-line moves for Hasbro would be two-pronged: First, begin printing 9/10 basic lands, 4/5 commons , 2/3 uncommons, and all tokens on the cheapest card stock possible - black ink lines on white backgrounds - don't even bother printing on the back (assuming sleeved play), rather creating something recyclable or even compostable. This would draw down the cost of resources going into cards (of which the majority are ultimately destined for dumpsters) while simultaneously increasing the scarcity & value of the 'rarer' commons/uncommons printed on regular stock. It'd also increase common/uncommon trading, particularly at the LGS level. And it'd 'coincidentally' have some real solid environmental benefits! Second ( and this would support the first move in a two-pronged attack), it'd make sense for Hasbro to move into the sleeve market and begin packaging prerelease sets with them, increasing the prelease set prices to compensate, while also selling these sleeves as a direct competitor to the other manufacturers. This would allow them to produce a tailored sleeve that would better mask any difference between the new B&W lands/commons/uncommons, and the regular prints. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Hasbro owns any of the sleeve companies in play. Just my thoughts - I'd love to hear you weigh in on this.

[@JCLA5]

Seriously? Not joking? Lmao your first point sounds utterly ridiculous and would have a massive backlash from players. Reduce card quality further than it already has? Nah. Second point, more feasible and something they could probably do. But rather than getting into the sleeves game though they could just contract with an existing company for fractions of a penny per sleeve and yet charge dollars more per kit.

Rudy mentioned that our society doesn't accept failure. Not sure if this is reinforced in our education system where I don't remember anyone going over with me why I would fail, just that I did. While the lessons were retaught what wasn't gone over was whatever method I was using to implement what was taught (not sure I'm being clear). Was listening to a Chael Sonnen video and something he said really struck me. I'm paraphrasing, but he said that "we are taught that failure isn't an option. Of course it's an option".

[@TheDarkElder]

To get to the core of it: That model is entirely based on the psychological reception of boxes being scarcer than they are, based on LGS not receiving as usual. It also worked without amazon before, remember Time Spiral remastered? At the beginning it was severely bottle-necked too. But with amazon they can surely manage it better, adding only small restocks to keep the prices higher than they would be if LGS got these boxes for the ~$190 to sell at around $220 or so. I don't know, are we as customers too dumb to see through this after the first time? For Fallout it surely worked out excellent for them as we didn't expect it. But now as (some of us at least) got that glimpse behind the dinosaur, will it work again and again? My lazy prediction: Smart people can do pre-orders again at their LGS and lock in those prices, e.g. $220. If the vast majority of boxes then moves to amazon to be sold at $300 they can be happy to have paid less. Does that make sense?

[@chim007azo]

👏 💯 yes general customers are too dumb to see through it. Even when you could estimate print numbers with serialized info and the fact if they’re paying for an IP license so they’re gonna use it fully, we’re still where we are now

Maybe I missed something, but it seems that the reference between print run numbers for packs vs. boxes are mixed up in this equation? Reference: "Sup products - individual, one little collector pack hanging on the shelf in your local bog box store" ~3:00. If referencing packs, wouldn't that mean that the 240,000 would be divided by the number of packs in a collector box to get the total number of collector boxes? These would be much lower numbers, right?

[@professoroaksvintagecards4315]

I have often wondered what the cut is that Amazon take though off the top? So distributor takes $30. What does Amazon take? Surely it has to be more

[@Mactakun]

I’d guess 10-15% so if they sell for 325 then between 30 and 45 bucks

[@chim007azo]

I’m guessing no cut. Very large volumes, they’re probably getting paid for storage and a per box fee. Maybe additional fees for being more careful with higher end boxes but the ways I’ve seen them shipped I doubt it. Cynthia connections at Amazon probably got them a sweet deal. 10-15% doesn’t sounds like corporate bargaining numbers

[@ThePenitentSquirrel]

This was pretty valuable insight because Hasbro's solution despite everything was actually ingenious. Using product scarcity amongst LGS and price setting the market using Amazon as a way of creating artificial confidence and in turn, making more by selling less is really clever. However if Amazon ever wanted to press their advantage if they thought they could make more (or if they got themselves into some trouble), it would probably end up being a disaster. Although I suppose you could run the same scheme through Ebay by way of TCG.

[@judsonbates1359]

Love this. All the other booger eaters are just commenting on the white board. The point we should be discussing is what, if anything, we can do about this. Especially because the new model is based on a false sense of scarcity that inflates consumer confidence. Rudy is right in that LGSs are going to get screwed. If I owned one I would limit my exposure to Magic as much as I could. This could go horribly wrong. I feel like the answer has to be in the singles market. If print runs are still that high, they are just hiding it through Amazon, then singles prices should crash - if everyone understood this. That would create downward pressure on the price of boxes that would crush their bottom line.

[@ThePenitentSquirrel]

@@judsonbates1359 What I find interesting (about the model Rudy demonstrated) is, yes, the LGS's money-making ability is in fact greatly restricted but at the same time their risk exposure would technically decrease by a buoying of market value by Amazon setting the height of the tide. The risk as I allude to and you expounded upon must always be considered as it isn't insignificant. However, despite the risk and my own natural pessimism, I must say it is minimized by the fact I do not think (at this time) Amazon as a distributor would want to lose Hasbro's business (which includes Toys, Lego, etc.). I'm sure they are probably making a fairly good percentage on this, but in a hypothetical sense what would happen to the model if Amazon were to push for an extra % or two? Would it still work and how would they adjust it? The natural fear is they would increase the print causing the systemic failure you describe and we have seen slowly get corrected in the last 18 months to make up that revenue. Managing those numbers will be incredibly vital to the entire company. The image that comes to mind is Philippe Petit walking the tightrope between the Trade Towers in 1974, if successful it will great accomplishment if not tragedy.

2 seconds early on the visor rudy thats how i know u a real one

[@robertvenable662]

You sir, should be teaching economics and finance at Tolarian Community College…This was brilliant!

[@pentarax2]

So if WotC printed 270k collector cases, and each case translates into 12x14 cards (15 - 1 token) that means each case has 168 cards. This means the card print run for FOc is ~45.4M. Comparing this against old sets like Revised which had, according to some sources, ~300M cards printed, or Fourth Ed at ~500M cards, or Battle for Zendikar at ~2.5B cards... Is it fair to conclude that collector Ed. boxes are only targeting 2% of the player base given the availability ratios? Should CE cards be 50x more expensive because of the rarity? Is MTG so much less popular than it was 25 years ago that a such a smaller supply is needed? (I don't think this is true) If future print runs will be even smaller, is MTG CE going to become the 1% or 0.1% targeted products? Are there any other conclusions you can make here?

[@JungunIRL]

Wizards should go back to 1 booster pack type and put all the variations in as special cards like it used to be. They could take a page from FaB putting serialized in the first run and just special variations in an unlimited run that is PtD.

[@Syne111]

Or get rid of serialized garbage altogether, because it makes zero sense to re-use the same art in a serialized variant.

[@hunterrichman9738]

You omit that if card prices fall, and you buy them at that low price, you don't care if they hold value given they cost 50 cents to a few dollars. The game piece army may just want to play and can't afford higher priced cards thus, falling card prices allow them to buy the cards in the first place. If you buy a commander deck for $500, you care if it gets reprinted into the ground because you lose hundreds. If the entry price for that deck is $50, tanking card prices are not a problem since you lose $25 dollars and you can afford to buy the deck in the first place.

[@kennymorelandiii9406]

I feel like I learned something after watching this....what I learned I'm not entirely sure quite yet but I know I learned something

[@llanowarshelves2105]

16:29 It works because LGSs have weak hands and need cash flow. This causes a downward spiral in pricing as they fire sale boxes. Of course, they need to fire sale boxes because WOTC is pushing out too many products too soon. Producers have always targeted distributors. Unfortunately, LGSs will have to figure out a new business model.

[@MatthiasRosenberger-f1q]

In the End it comes down to one question: "Is this sustainable?" And I have my doubts about that. If you run an LGS you will try to look for alternatives as well. You will hold on to MtG and endure it for as long as you have to but you will not offer them special positions if you can diversify to minimize your risk. In the end LGS have good reasons to promote the alternatives because they can not rely on wizards at least that's what I am seeing at the shops that I visit big and small. Actually a bunch of players are looking for an out that's why lorcana, sorcery, FaB and star wars are there... Have a great day everyone!

[@skylter]

Use the LGS to display product scarcity and use Amazon to benefit from the perception. Which means we never know until later on what's ACTUALLY scarce. Unless Rudy emails himself, of course.

[@chim007azo]

Except maths tell you about how many boxes when there’s serialized cards. No one should have fell for Fallout scarcity. (Or Ravnica scarcity/being good). Did anyone really think they were going to pay for an IP license and not use it? Demand is another story, LotR was underestimated, Dr. Who was underestimated by the loudmouths but WotC/stores look like they got it right. Judging by how many Fallout CB appeared on release day, Fallout was scalped to hell and this isn’t demand. I didn’t think there’d be much demand for Fallout and cut down me order a lot or this set. What the real demand is won’t be known for like 6 months because the FOMO level is crazy. But watch the singles sales/prices. If people don’t want the cards, the boxes are going to drop. To me Surge foil commanders going for under $15 means the demand just isn’t there, because there’s not a lot out there. If the demand was real the few boxes being opened couldn’t keep up with the market and prices should be way higher.

[@TiagoCastagneraScopel]

Rudy gave an Economics lesson for free, pretty good explanation that can be fitted in many situations. I wouldn't blame Hasbro for doing that, they are a business company after all. As always who pays the price is the final consumer.

[@sattoriemei3210]

Also not sure if people know this, but how stores got their allocations for those FB CBs depends on how much they spent on MKM.

[@cdkraft]

Halfway in. Here is the tl;dr…Hasbro leverages AMZN channel to hold retail prices, pushes most stock that direction. Scarcity holds if they don’t dump trickle level sales. Rudy forgets to talk about AMZN channel margin against the $325/box.

[@chim007azo]

Except there is no Amazon margin. They are getting paid to sort and sell a box for you, same cost whether it’s a $90 box or $400 box. Why do you think the Cynthia connection was so important in getting it set up?

[@cdkraft]

Account fees are fixed and modest but by industry referral fees aren’t and they range quite widely. There is also Amazon fulfillment - a third bite of the apple? Guaranteed Amazon makes “good money” for this - it’s how Bezos flies fallic ships into the sky.

[@brandonrodgers2479]

Amazon still acts as a distributor and takes some of the cut (obviously less than a typical distributor). But you also have 100,000 units of product unaccounted for so it counters it out. My question is how does hasbro have the influence to set amazon prices? Is one owned by the other or something? It seems like if the LGS was looking at still getting boxes for $170 they could easily undercut amazon. But that is not what we are seeing. LGS boxes are always more than amazon.

[@RetroMTG]

15% Supps, which are single packs. 270000 boxes = 3240000 packs, minus 40000 Supp packs = 3200000 packs (266666.6666667 boxes). Difference between 270K and 266.6K isn’t large enough to derail his argument. Point, Rudy. Proceed

[@ceribralboy4468]

13:30 Hasbro wouldn't sell for that price to distributors though, right? At some point, the LGS sells them for $325 instead of $190. Is Hasbro charging the distributors? Are the distributors making $100 selling boxes to the LGS at $260?
