On Thursday, June 4th, Wizards of the Coast announced that there will be product delays for sealed Marvel Super Heroes cards. These delays affect multiple regions globally and will not be fully rectified before the June 26th release date of the set. Read on to see if your part of the world is affected.

Wizards of the Coast's Statement on Marvel Super Heroes Delays

Here's what to expect from the delays, according to Wizards of the Coast:

North America

Bundles, Commander decks, and Jumpstart Boosters will be delayed. Collector's Edition Commander decks are expected after the set's release. Welcome Decks will be delayed with available quantities prioritized for stores that previously scheduled Avengers Academy events. All other products are on schedule.

Asia-Pacific

Collector's Edition Commander decks are expected to arrive after the tabletop release of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes. All other products are on schedule.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa

English-language Commander decks, select French-, German-, Italian-, and Spanish-language Commander decks, and select Italian- and Spanish-language Beginner Boxes may be delayed and may arrive after Prerelease events. Collector's Edition Commander decks, Beginner Boxes, Scene Boxes, and Welcome Decks will be delayed. All other products are on schedule.

Japan

Collector's Edition Commander decks will be delayed. All other products are on schedule.

Latin America

Some quantity of Jumpstart Boosters, Bundles, Commander decks, and Collector's Edition Commander decks may be delayed. Commander decks and Collector's Edition Commander decks are expected to arrive in two waves, with the first wave arriving in time for the set's release and the other arriving after the set's release. All other products are on schedule.

What Does This Mean for You?

Naturally, if you've preordered any of the above affected products while in the impacted regions, you won't get them when you expected to. Frankly, you may as well have bought the products the day the delay ends. But you'll get them nonetheless.

This issue has been recurrent among Magic products lately. Wizards of the Coast blames "production and shipping issues", according to their announcement on DailyMTG. Because this keeps happening, there's little we as consumers can necessarily do, except keep that recurrence in mind for the future.
