2024 Panini Minecraft

[crdbored]

LOL maybe.

Target had Megas up for a bit. There are still blasters up.

It said 2024 Minecraft in the description - I ordered a couple, so hopefully it is the right stuff.

They do have the blaster up so maybe it's just a mistake or could be the older set.

It has to be, prob just the wrong image

[gamingcards]

Pretty sure it'll be the right one, the title said 2024 Panini Minecraft and the blaster is correct, pretty sure it's just an image mix up.

Picked up a few megas in store today. They have/had tons of blasters and tons of Pokemon as well. The sweatpant crowd must have missed this store for some reason.

this isn't really a flippers product, the singles aren't super hot and the sealed isn't a double-up immediately on ebay. I like it a lot, though.

^Yeah, seems like a lot of people didn't know/don't know about this product.
Once one of those youtube influencers drop a video, then they could go up. Especially if they hit a colorblast on camera lol

Singles aren't hot but the right characters could be worth something.
Definitely a fun product.

Also, the print run for Hobby must be lowish for Panini standards. Seems like they have 4-5 numbered per box. There aren't too many sellers out there either.
D&A keeps going in and out of stock...could be a selling tactic though.
Sealed could have value down the line.

Series 1 Fortnite type vibes I'm getting with this product.

Appears to be a very low print run and I'm sure the low #d parallels will do well in addition to color blasts.

I see the absolute floor being MSRP of $80 and I see $200+/box upside for hobby. Its too popular of a franchise. Just my two cents but I think there's potential.

[ATLOTP]

in retrospect, target megas for 25 was an insane deal. I might drive around and try to pick some up locally.

My son loves Minecraft, so, in for 2 hobby/2 megas/2 blasters. Maybe we'll save 1 of each for Christmas or something. I know nothing about it, but I buy crap I don't know anything about all the time(it seems!).

Series 1 Fortnite vibes is a good thing? I swear these being some of the o ly products I still saw on shelves while everything else got cleared out. I remember thinking the fandom must not of translated well. I do think this is a bit diff as I was reminded today since I’m not a Minecraft guy that the movie is about to come out which is an added built-in promotion boost products like Fortnite or Squishmallows don’t have.

I picked up a blaster of this at Walmart at lunch. I could see kids having fun collecting the base cards. Some of the characters look neat. I’m not too familiar with the game.

The other cards just depict scenes from the video game and are pretty boring. The scenes depicted just appear too small on the card.

It doesn’t look like I hit anything in my blaster. Likely will throw the base in with my next COMC shipment.

Bought some Megas last night at Target, wife and I opened them. Both of us and our kids all play Minecraft, it's a really fun set. I love how they put some thought into the set, looking at it from a fan of the game. We had a few Megas with multiple numbered cards. Definitely a big set to put together.

Fortnite series 1 mega boxes in particular contained crystal shard cards with a potential big hit. The similarities are that the boxes were cheap just like these when they first sold. A US print series 1 megabox are now circa $6-800 range now. They were a lot higher but like things during the pandemic the prices dropped, they are still significantly more expensive then release.

I personally bought most of my boxes to rip and I'll buy up items I think are undervalued as people continue to chase the latest hype in the markets.

I don't think people realise just how big the video game market is, Minecraft only released in 2011 and it's like the 7th biggest video game franchise of all time already.

At $25 a megabox for the size of the franchise they were a no brainer to buy and enjoy.

I remember that new TCG game from Topps or someone don’t even remember the name now also being a “potential perfect storm” lol and I’m sure boxes of the first release of that sell well too I’m jus speaking on overall popularity, the average person isn’t paying $600 for Fortnite cards it’s not going to the intended audience at that price it’s just more speculation money moving hands.

I def realize how big the video game market is which is another reason I question as Halo is also one of the biggest games of all-time with a fanbase prob aged better to afford cards and yet again I don’t know what sealed will be down the line but it def doesn’t feel like it made a huge splash. Minecraft isn’t Halo obv but not all major game franchises have become in the card world.

Anyway all that aside tried two blaster packs with the outcome determining whether I bought a mega. Two weak cubic parallels so passed on Megas, honestly thought they’d be all-Chrome like Squishmallows, not being a fan of either I’d prob have more fun ripping that. The greetings inserts taken from Hoops etc are pretty cool, as mentioned the random scenes/achievements cards are pretty dull. Honestly cards feel kinda cheap for Panini too, if it was chrome I’d like it 10x better. From research looks like we are trying to hit the Chicken Jockey? Lol

Say what? The early Fortnite sets absolutely exploded. Of course, that was during the onset of the pandemic when people were clamoring for ANYTHING.

[Yanks23]

Did anyone see a checklist for this stuff anywhere? Panini didnt have anything listed. I bought a few blasters and not sure what hits are outside of the numbered cards vs the different color borders. Got some megas on the way to open also.

[gamingcards]

Completely agree with you, times and demand change of ofcourse! Unfortunately in the grand scheme of things Halo isn't that big of a franchise in terms of active players / following. Zelda as an example has a reasonable card collector scene in comparison so it's definitely franchise specific.

Yeah it seems like Chicken Jockey is becoming a bit of a chase card lol. I personally like some of the minecraft milestone cards and picked a couple up.

[finfangfan]

I went to another Walmart thinking I could pick some up and got blanked. I picked up a DC Annual blaster since I was there and my earlier Minecraft blaster was a lot more fun and $10 cheaper.

Anyone finding this other places other than Walmart/Target? Maybe GameStop? CVS? Walgreens?

I picked up one (last one) at the first Walmart I went to today so they are definitely there as well as Target.

[Yanks23]

Fb reports that gamestop have them also.
