Restock timing guide
None of this is official — it's the pattern-matching collectors trade in group chats, written down. Treat it as a starting point and let the live map correct it.

Where restocks tend to land
Delivery schedules are set per store, not per chain, so the only reliable version of this table is the one you build for your own neighborhood. These are tendencies, not timetables.
| Store type | Common pattern | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Big-box stores | Truck days vary by location; stock often hits the floor early morning. | Ask at the service desk which days their freight lands — it's store-specific, and staff will usually tell you. |
| Department stores | Overnight stocking is common, so early morning is the usual window. | Cards are frequently locked up or held behind the counter; an empty shelf doesn't always mean the store is out. |
| Warehouse clubs | Arrives as pallet drops — irregular, and often gone the same day. | Usually the best price per pack when it appears, which is exactly why it disappears fast. |
| Electronics & game shops | Smaller, more frequent shipments; online stock can appear at odd hours. | In-store pickup listings often update before the shelf does. |
| Card & hobby shops | Distributor deliveries usually land midweek, before weekend events. | Ask about a preorder or allocation list — it beats camping the shelf, and it supports the shop that runs your locals. |
Shopping etiquette
Confirm before you drive
A pin means someone saw product, not that it's still there. Check the confirm/gone counts and the timestamp, and call the store if it's more than an hour old.
Post the boring details
Set, product type, and roughly how many were left are what make a report actionable. “Cards at the store down the road” helps nobody.
Mark it gone on your way out
The single most useful thing you can do is tap “All gone” after you clear a shelf. It saves the next person a wasted trip.
Know the retail price
If a shelf price looks far above the usual retail range, it's often a reseller-stocked marketplace listing rather than a real restock.
Leave some on the shelf
This site exists so more people find product, not so one person clears every store in a metro. Buy what you'll open or play with.
Respect the store
Don't follow employees around, don't open cases, don't crowd the stockroom door. Stores that get overwhelmed start holding product back entirely.
Spotting a fake or a repack
- Sealed product from a major retailer should have intact factory shrink with clean, straight seams — loose or re-taped wrap on a booster box is worth a second look.
- Weigh-and-repack “mystery boxes” sold on marketplace shelves are not restocks. If it isn't a product the publisher actually prints, don't post it as one.
- When a shelf price is far off the usual retail range, check whether you're looking at a third-party seller listing inside a retailer's app rather than the store's own stock.
- A publisher's own site is the authority on what products exist and when they release. This site only tracks where people said they saw something.

The map is only as good as the last person who bothered to post. Add a report next time you spot a restock — even a “last two boxes, went fast” is useful.
