Creatures has announced they have decided to print more Terastal Festival ex and Battle Partners. Additional products will become available starting from late February to April.

They ask customers to be cautious before buying products from marketplace websites. In other words, not to give in to scalper pricing because more product will soon become available.
They go on to say they are continuing to strengthen their production lines, regardless of whether they are making public announcements about it.
Creatures has made similar statements in the past, such as when they announced new made-to-order print runs for Snow Hazard and Clay Burst. Over the last year they’ve also reprinted...

Nice. Hopefully this year won't be as rough as we all thought. The sets coming out are just too good and it would be a shame for them to be ruined by scalpers. Just don't give in to them and we should all be fine.

Me as an lgs gets less product then a from-my-living-room-seller without webshop. So i dont think the main problem is printing, it's distributing.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully things get better soon. If only they can just deal with all the bots. But personally I feel like printing and distribution are pretty equal in terms of importance. So I guess the hope is that they print a whole lot more and prioritize sending it out to actual stores to prevent the a-holes from scooping them up using bots online. I really don't know how they can't seem to tell bots from actual people (in terms of ordering online). It's really infuriating

There are a lot of people who've created a business account and sell them without VAT.
 
Okidoki, now.

Increase the pull rates, make them scale to the number of potential pulls so that a 32 chance to pull 1 in X number of cards isn't silly... or reduce the price of the product you are about to throw our way... or all of the above. Again, this should be a fun hobby and true collectors/players are not going to be against making it cheaper and easier to obtain cards... only investors and scalpers care about that.

There is something fundamentally wrong when again, true collectors/players are incentivized NOT to open product and opt for singles.
 
Sure all fine and great but only having access to one box each made-to-order is entirely inadequate. We really want an opportunity to purchase them at scale.
 
Just like with Prismatic, this is all just promises promises until we both see it and it actually affects anything. See also: Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat, new 151 products, etc.
 
Why are people complaining about the pull rates on this thread? These are japanese sets, the pull rates are set (and pretty damn good, one guaranteed SAR per box)

I think it's also because Japanese boxes are being searched and resealed. I saw someone find a juice box in their Terastal ex box...

I really think boosters should contain 15 cards so you get more uncommons. Maybe do the mtg thing where occasionally a common or uncommon is swapped for a rarer card
 
i think we are all happy with this
prismatic to expensive en not enough hits so we switch tot terastal

I will never not take a chance to plug in international problems whenever reprints of anything are mentioned, even restaurant napkin reprints are not safe.

I really hate the placebo of printing more product to be the "solution" to scalpers when the real problem is the pull rates.

TCG companies have really lost the picture when it comes to pull rates. They think that the lower the pulls, the more people will buy because they'll keep trying to get what they want. But if you don't give people enough pulls, eventually they just won't buy any sealed product at all. There has to be SOME consistency and success in pulls. Pokemon is actually still one of the better ones, which is why they are the most successful.
