Disney Lorcana is undoubtedly going to be one of this year's most coveted holiday gifts. A trading card game from Ravensburger, the game appeals to both Disney fans, trading card game players and even collectors.
Unfortunately, this mass appeal has led to Disney Lorcana selling out almost everywhere, also making it one of this year's hardest items to find. With today being Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, you may be wondering if any retailers are selling Disney Lorcana cards. And if so, are there any discounts to be had?
Where can you buy Disney Lorcana cards on Black Friday?
As I mentioned, Disney Lorcana has been sold out pretty much everywhere since the release of The First Chapter in September. Although a restock of the first set has since hit store shelves, the cards are still incredibly hard to find.
Your best bet for finding Disney Lorcana cards is probably local game stores. You'll probably wind up paying more than the recommended MSRP, though. Ravensburger has a store locator of all the participating game and hobby retailers that are selling Disney Lorcana cards. I would recommend calling first to make sure they still have some in stock, but I doubt many of them are providing prices over the phone.
If you do go to your local game store, you'll have a chance at getting cards from The First Chapter, as well as the upcoming second set, Rise of the Floodborn. The newest set of cards doesn't officially release until December 1st, but local game stores were given the product for a pre-release in mid-November. Again, I recommend calling as it's likely many of them have been selling out.
Another option is to visit larger retailers like Target, Best Buy, Target or GameStop. All of these retailers sell Disney Lorcana cards in-store. But again, it's all the luck of the draw. Any time they get in-store shipments, they sell out very quickly.
These retailers do not have any Rise of the Floodborn cards available yet as the set won't release until December 1st. And, in most cases, the only way to get this new set is by going to the actual stores on release day. Best Buy has already confirmed it won't be doing online pre-orders for Rise of the Floodborn.
Amazon has The First Chapter starter decks
If you're simply trying to get into the game as a beginner, Amazon actually has The First Chapter starter decks available right now for $16.99. It's technically a "pre-order" and won't ship until December 8, 2023.
Other retailers selling Disney Lorcana cards
FYE currently has The First Chapter Booster Packs available for purchase for $8.49 each. That's a few dollars over the $5.99 MSPR but they are available for purchase right now. You'll also likely have to pay for shipping. There is a limit of two booster packs per customer.
Hot Topic is also taking pre-orders for The First Chapter booster packs. Available for $9.90 (plus shipping), these are only available for pre-order and won't ship until after Christmas.
You can also purchase Disney Lorcana cards from Walmart online, but most of these sales are done by a third party seller and therefore more expensive than MSRP.
Don't count on any Black Friday Disney Lorcana discounts
In any case, don't count on getting any discounts on Disney Lorcana cards. If you can even find any, they will be regular price or above MSRP.
As one of this year's hottest items, these cards are going to be incredibly hard to find. Your best chance of securing some is probably when Rise of the Floodborn drops on December 1st as that's also when many retailers are expected to get the reprint of The First Chapter.
