The boxes are pretty great value overall!
More Boxes Coming?
Multiple retailers have told us that their sales rep has told them they are going to be restocked with more Battleforces. So if you didn’t pick one up, be sure to check with your FLGS in the coming weeks. They also mentioned they will be coming in their normal restock, which all of their restocks have been behind due to all the COVID craziness.
But with stores last restock coming right around Black Friday, they should be getting more stuff in the next week or two. These seem like they only will be going to the stores, so you will have to check there because all the boxes are currently sold out online. They may spring back up there randomly, but not with reliability.
With the supply the way it’s been, we can’t complain about stores getting more boxes! We just aren’t sure how many they are getting, so it would be worth it to grab what you can early!
