Here is the InfoBlast for Monday, August 17, 2026, through Sunday, August 23, 2026.
Product Information:
One Piece OP-17 is shipping this week! However, we expect our product to arrive in waves, so please do not expect boxes to be available for general sales this coming weekend. I don't quote prices over the phone, so please don't call.
Our priority is to make sure we have enough product for our two scheduled OP-17 Prerelease events, including prize support.
After the Prereleases, if I have boxes remaining that I decide to sell, I will be prioritizing customers in the following order:
Priority: Our loyal players who support The Toy Factory week after week by participating in our tournaments and events.
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.
I realize this may disappoint some people, and I'm sorry that I must 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 throughout the year.
Your loyalty matters, and I want to make sure it's rewarded.
Thank you for understanding, and most importantly, thank you for supporting The Toy Factory!
