Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy Sets Scalped

by

Summary

  • Pre-orders for Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering already gone on Amazon.
  • eBay sales of pre-orders are breaking the Terms of Service, due to the set not coming out till June.
  • Fans advised to wait for wider availability of sets, as Wizards of the Coast will produce plenty.

The advance orders for the imminent crossover set of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy have passed, leaving Amazon’s stock depleted and the packs now available for re-sale on eBay.

This upcoming crossover between Final Fantasy and Magic: The Gathering promises to be the game’s most significant expansion for the year, given its popularity among fans of both series due to iconic characters appearing on Commander Decks.

Darn it all, it seems I’ve fallen victim to the sneaky scalpers once more. The Amazon listing for the Final Fantasy collection is showing ‘out of stock’, yet eBay’s already brimming with sellers trying to offload them at sky-high prices.

Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering Ebay Sales Are Breaking The TOS

It’s an issue that eBay permits pre-order sales because it violates their Terms of Service. According to eBay’s rules, presale items should not be listed for sale more than 40 days prior to when the seller receives them, but these Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering sets aren’t scheduled to ship until June 13, 2025, which is beyond the specified timeframe.

In other words, it’s clear that some individuals are ignoring eBay’s regulations (scalpers), but attentive fans can report these violations and potentially have their accounts suspended, albeit temporarily, since the accounts might be reactivated later on.

It’s absolutely ludicrous that the Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy collection could have inflated prices given that it will be playable across numerous game modes. Wizards of the Coast has made it clear they’ll produce ample booster packs and Commander Decks, ensuring a sufficient supply for everyone.

It’s wiser not to let fear of missing out (FOMO) control you and instead, be patient until the Jumbo Cactuar becomes available on store shelves. The search for these Final Fantasy cards won’t last forever; there will be a multitude of them circulating, providing many opportunities for players to collect and incorporate them into their decks.
