The hype for Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter is real, with many collectors and players showing up in droves to purchase and play the trading card game at GenCon and when it soft-launched at local game stores on Aug. 18. Prices were above MSRP, but that didn’t stop anyone, myself included, from getting our hands on product. 

Ravensburg has the official release date for Disney Lorcana on Sept. 1, where big retail stores like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy will have products for sale, except some Walmart stores have allegedly put products on the shelves early.

Prices are closer to MSRP at Walmart, with the retail giant selling the three individual Starter Decks, individual booster packs, Gift Sets, and Treasure Troves. As a possible answer to increased Disney Lorcana product demand, Ravensburger announced on Aug. 26 that players and collectors could purchase a limited supply of Starter Decks and Gift Sets at Disney parks starting on Aug. 28.
