MaRo on recent Secret Lairs selling out: "Most of the time you think of as 'print to demand' actually wasn’t. And that resulted in us destroying a lot of product." (markrosewater.tumblr.com)

They switched to print-to-demand in 2024 (or said they did) so just kind of more of the same from them: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/speeding-up-secret-lair-shipping

@andrew ugh. I hate capitalism.We gotta have artificial scarcity, so let's print a ton, then tell people they only have a short time to order, then burn everything that wasn't sold in a week.

    Exactly, and add on top the straight up lying that it was print to demand!

    Couldn’t even discount the extras instead of destroying them because they need to maintain the high price at all times. Crazy.
