Perhaps the larger print volume could take into account the foreign prints. Previously MM1 was printed only English.
]]>It has been a few years since MM was released. In that time, more retail stores have opened & more have advanced to higher WPN allocation levels. Furthermore, there are three Grand Prix being run, not one. The demand for the product is going to be way higher this time around.
Therefore, it’s entirely possible that there are more MM2 cards being PRINTED, but on a per-store basis, each store will get less. The assumption that a higher print run directly correlates 1::1 to store allocation is flawed, ESPECIALLY in this case, when you have a small, limited run, premium-priced product consisting entirely of reprints.
]]>Trolls gonna troll.
]]>To add to the topic, I didn’t own a store for MMA1 so I don’t have number to compare, but we were allotted more than what we were originally told. That leads me to believe the print run is larger, but I’m not actually sure. I wish they would put info like this on wizards web site, but so often they don’t.
]]>Print Run != Allocation on a store level.
]]>He’s relaying first-hand information from a trustworthy source. I’m not sure why this is bothering you.
]]>So you were just telling a story in hopes that something would come of it? Weird…
]]>Well now they’re going to msrp packs at $10 and watch us pay $12 a pack to crack packs day one.
Short of printing to real demand, anything “limited” will be taxed like this. It would be nice if WotC wasn’t the first to tax us in the totem pole of distribution.

” I had an interesting discussion with one of my local shop owners here in Michigan. I have his permission, and wanted to share that text conversation verbatim.”
]]>I appreciate the attempts Jonathan. I have since seen the tweet, and yes, we do need an “edit” button
]]>I think this could be an interesting article. But instead you used the story of a friend and published is as hot, fresh, world shattering news full of facts.
You have zero facts.
I get it, he is not lying, but maybe a wrong interpretation or wrong communication somewhere. If you want to publish this as big news, check your facts, otherwise, call it a story you want to share.
]]>It is pretty ridiculous that WotC isn’t more straightforward with print run numbers. Tweeting “Uh, more than last time” and then saying nothing else for the next 6 months isn’t very useful.
]]>It’s still not working, guess it’s getting cut short since it’s assumed as spam? Well, to anyone interested, just googling ‘modern masters 2 larger print run’ should find the twitter post on wotc’s official account relatively quick.
PS: Sorry about the spam, is there an edit function? Cause I can’t find it.
