OP-17 Midnight Release Thursday - August 20th!!

This release will be invite-only. As per our previous OP-17 box allocation post we will be asking players who have regularly attended One Piece hobby nights from OP-16 release until August.

We can't be specific, due to changing player counts but we'll be including more of the list till a certain cut off of boxes.

We didn't want to guarantee a number of boxes we couldn't deliver on & we wanted players to have clear information on a guaranteed outcome. Hope everyone understands โค๏ธ

Reminder: Guaranteed box = Starting from mid-June 10x Attendance at Games Lab One-Piece hobbies

As usual we'll be running a quick hobby from 10PM for players who show up a little earlier.

OP-17 Booster Packs - $12 (NZD)
OP-17 Booster Boxes - $255 (NZD)

Please be patient! If you have met the requirements, or next in line you will be contacted :)

EDIT: Yes, all hobby counts until OP-17 releases - If you've come every week, you're most likely to be able to grab a box

We're so excited for this release & hope you are too! See you at midnight ;)
