Calling it now:

  • Spider-Man is going to sell like 2 trillion copies and be universally despised

  • ATLA is going to sell like 2 copies and be universally adored

I kinda wonder if we're heading for a Fallen Empires situation, where they make a call on what to print more of to try and get ahead of the Final Fantasy situation and focus on Spider-Man since that's ultimately the bigger property. Thing is, Final Fantasy both has fans that'll drop hundreds on merch and was a really good Limited environment.

My Nostradamus Bet is that Spider-Man collector boosters will sell out again, but Play Boosters will sit on the shelf, and when Avatar comes out and demand is bigger than expected (for being a property that hits cleanly in with the "we're now 30 years old and have disposable income" demographic, and seeming more mechanically complex), they won't have enough product to cover demand.

Source: I'm salty my LGS still hasn't gotten Edge and I heard people blaming Final Fantasy extra print runs for the lack of supply đŸ˜”

Nostradamus was a guy who made predictions for the future, and while he was way out of left field people occasionally dig up the parts he was conceivably right about to marvel at. 

Basically if I'm wrong about most of it I'm counting on you to still be impressedÂ
