At GTS, we know that our trading card manufacturing partners strive to deliver collectors the most compelling, value-driven products possible. Unfortunately, on very rare occasions, production issues force a change in distribution. Such is the case with Cryptozoic Entertainment’s amazing new product The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Cryptozoic believes that a customer communication policy driven by honesty and integrity is essential to customer service and the overall collector experience. With that said, the company has issued the following statement to clarify any misconceptions related to the distribution of their latest product.

“On July 16th, we will be releasing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Trading Cards.  As fans of pop culture, we knew that The Hobbit would be a big deal, but the response that we’ve had to this set has far surpassed our expectations. 

When creating a set with such hype, we always do our best to walk the thin line between producing enough and over producing. Our fans want more because the set is very exciting, but we are incredibly careful to avoid printing so much that the value is diminished. These are collectible items and mass producing them would ruin it for everyone. 

Our other goal with every set, is to ensure that only top quality products make it into the hands of our dedicated fans. When doing our final checks for The Hobbit, we found that some of the boxes we produced did not meet our incredibly high production quality standards. These boxes were removed from the production line and will not be distributed. 

Due to the slightly decreased total product and the incredibly high demand, we know that The Hobbit will be a little more difficult to obtain than we originally intended. We would like to apologize for this shortage and encourage our fans to watch for the upcoming set, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Thank you for your understanding.”
