Here is the InfoBlast for Monday, August 24, 2026, through Sunday, August 30, 2026.

Product Information:

One Piece OP-17 Booster Boxes have arrived. I don't quote prices over the phone, so please don't call. Below is how I plan to sell them, since they're in high demand!

Priority: Our loyal players who support The Toy Factory week after week by participating in our tournaments and events on a regular basis. I will allocate some to these customers first.

Second priority: Our regular customers who consistently support the store by purchasing One Piece and other products from us. They may not be able to participate in tournament play for several reasons, but they still come in and buy products.

After that: If the product is still available, I will consider selling it to customers who primarily visit us for major releases and special events, not regular customers. However, don't assume you'll show up here and buy unlimited quantities to flip online or at the numerous card shows popping up. Prices for you will be close to current online market prices.

I realize this may disappoint some people, and I'm sorry I have to take a firm position on this release. With a limited number of products available, I feel obligated to support the customers who consistently support our store year-round.

Your loyalty matters, and I want to make sure you're rewarded for it.

Thank you for understanding, and most importantly, thank you for supporting The Toy Factory!

*** And I recognize that Magic Commander is very popular. Currently, we only schedule it for Wednesday night. However, I am now scheduling Friday night to accommodate players who can't make it during the week. The code and time will be reflected in the schedule below.

Additionally, I am considering offering MTG Commander Play on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. More details will be forthcoming. ***
