As someone who is a finance nerd and a SWU nerd, I appreciate this content.

Really feel bad for you americans for not having accses to cardmarket. Its so much better then tcg Player both prize and interfacewise.

I grabbed a GI showcase third week for $70 less than the current TCG player market price. I’m really glad I did because the designers keep saying he is only going to get better!

Doing this for each set individually would be awesome. This is great info - thanks!

The correlation thing is crazy.

I can believe the error was made because they didn't discard the discard cards. Meaning the printing partners.

I didn't find out about the game until March 20th. Fwiw, Leia has been the second most expensive showcase for that entire time. How much showcases go for was, unsurprisingly, one of the very first things I looked up when researching SWU.

I do think there has been some price "fiddling" on certain things, but I'm not sure she's one of them. Or if she is, it's not a recent thing.

I just wish I had spent less time deciding whether or not I wanted to jump in on a new tcg and bought my first box before Mar 31st, or or at least committed to more than one in that order. The price leap happened literally the same day my first box arrived and went to buy more. :/

Yeah I’d say if you wanted to do a market watch you should cover notable changes in price in the future like larger jumps or drops here or there.

Outside of Boba I think Leia is the most sought after SC for collectors. Her being a solid leader also helps. I don't think it's artificial, but I do think perhaps Chewy's recent inflation may be artificial.

All Market info is what I hunt for here! I look at forums for gameplay rules or community information

[micahvisser]

Ive never played a CCG, but I cannot wait to play this game. I have the starter pack on it's way to me, but boosters are impossible to find.

[Docsun]

Its a shame the products have gone up so high. I learned avout it a little late to really get anything other than a starter. Love the game and hope it does not deter new players from getting into it.

[ReallyBigBadAndy]

I think people are essentially making up the "reprint" idea. There's been no real word from FFG suggesting a reprint. Their statement made it clear that they were rationing product that had been held back from market and very specifically didn't say anything about reprinting.

[pharaosa]

I think Leia has gone up cause people are learning how strong she is. I've seen our local meta shift from Boba Sabine, to Leia, Chewie, Luke.

[MaxTaperaGaming]

Dang, i wish we could’ve seen your reaction to Vader hitting $400+

[TheSpaceNinjaPirate]

I wouldn't worry about the buying single pack issue. The Way (my new coined term for the pattern), only tracks standard Legendaries, so at best you can find using that method is a Standard Vader, and he is only probably the 20-25th most valuable card in the set. There are still plenty of great cards waiting to be found in those single packs, including showcases.

[nicolascuenca]

Most things are going to tank once supply comes back. I can't tell you exactly what but my bet is for sure on rares. Some Legendaries probably things like Luke and Falcon.

[Supercoolfindz]

Great content bro thankyou for doing this for all of us

[capealio]

Thank you for uploading this information

[JackhammerRAGE]

FFG's inability to get product to the market has been something they've been an industry leader of for many many years. Their long term reluctance to print cardstock has been the catalyst of killing the momentum of many of their games. It shouldn't take 3+ months to get another print run going.

Would love to see a video about alternatives if you do not want to pay a ton for Vader or Luke etc. What replacements to use in which decks etc
