2020-21 Skybox Metal Universe

THammers · 01-11-2021, 09:57 AM

Is this really sold out everywhere already or will there be more released once it goes live in April? Based on the love some people have for the Precious Metal Gems inserts this is likely to be a hot product. Wish I could get some.

I just think that most places aren't selling hockey products that far out yet. DA only has Artifacts, Trilogy, and Series 2 listed of sets that aren't out yet, and it's not because everyone bought up Black Diamond and OPC Plat. There will be more wax.

ravensgc_5 · 01-11-2021, 11:41 AM

I've only seen it live from one dealer where you could actually go and purchase it. Price was $200/box. A lot of others have it as "in stock - call for price".

k13 · 01-11-2021, 11:59 AM

It will be sold out like series 1 was..

Supposedly everything is "sold out" according to my LCS.

kellmuff · 01-11-2021, 12:00 PM

go to any big card website and pretty much everything is sold out. The hobby is insane right now.

Universal Distribution is saying it will be an epack product released May 7 2021.

If it is an epack product don't worry there will be plenty to go around...

With e-pack, how does #ed card allocation work between physical packs and epack?

odjickfan · 01-11-2021, 03:16 PM

Anybody knows if there will be a retail/blaster version?

Doesn’t change the number of PMGs or numbered inserts that are the chase for this product. Just changes where you can get them from. In person or on e-pack.

Understood about e-pack not changing the chase numbers.

I guess my question is this: is e-pack limited by a pre-determined quantity as well? Or are there unlimited e-packs to break if somebody had the funds? If unlimited, how are the chase cards distributed and do they tend to be front-loaded?

They print x amount of product just like all releases with e-pack. A certain percentage of the printed product is set aside for e-pack. I’m assuming they have no idea what cases have what hits and its just luck of the draw on what is where.

Anyone know if this is really dropping on 4/7? None of the big guys seems to have it in stock in the US at least.

kellmuff · 03-29-2021, 02:44 PM

checlist yet?

Philobut · 03-29-2021, 04:29 PM

Current release date is may 15th

zhiyuchen90 · 03-29-2021, 09:19 PM

My shop said check one week before release may 15. I am sure its gonna be big print run. The price will around 125.

Bcr · 03-30-2021, 03:46 PM

I'm just wondering why there are no preorders available for any of this. Is there any reason why people think the print run will be huge?

Last I saw, June 15th - June 30th, one distributor (GTS) has it for Quarter 3 2021, so that pushes it past the 30th. Only current one I see live for preorders is through Miraj Trading in Ottawa (never heard of them) for 130 USD... 7 cards per pack/15 packs per hobby with a June 15th release, but not seeing an active preorder via any major card retailers.

Philobut · 06-08-2021, 04:21 PM

It's now been pushed to August 15th

ravensgc_5 · 06-08-2021, 05:27 PM

Damn. I was really hoping it would actually be released on 6/30. I preordered this back in December.

They (or we) really made this a huge build up, but looking at the price and number of cards, doesn't look like it will be tough to get ahold of... barring they release it lol. UD probably wants to milk as much out of Series 1, 2, and Extended as possible before releasing Skybox.

I thought this would be similar to SPA as far as pricing (assumed it was fewer cards per hobby box). Hell, Synergy is priced higher.

I'm assuming it's all sticker autos, then.
