We are launching the Ripped Restock program to help the stores actively building local BoBA communities get access to more product.
How It Works
Participating stores can use a lightweight app at checkout to record when a box is opened with the buyer’s approval.
The best way for stores to get buyer approval is to encourage participation with some form of benefit. Whether that be better pricing, promotions, or other in-store benefits.
We will prioritize restocking stores that are actively getting product ripped and moving through their local communities.
Stores win. Players and Collectors win. Everyone's happy. Simple.
Why We're Doing It
Because BoBA is strongest when boxes are being opened, singles are appearing, collections and decks are being built, trading and grading is happening, and conversations are spreading. That activity is what helps a game, a hobby, and a community grow.
If a store is helping drive real engagement, we want to help them replenish product and keep that momentum going.
This is not a knock on sealed product. Collecting sealed wax is, and will remain, a meaningful part of the hobby. But strong local communities are built when product is being engaged with in real life, in real stores, by real players and collectors.
If your local shop has BoBA on the shelf, people show up. If people show up and rip, games happen. If games happen, the community gets stronger. That local flywheel matters.
Active communities should have better access to product. That is the principle behind Ripped Restock, and we believe it will help build a healthier BoBA ecosystem over time.
More product in the right places is good for everyone.
That is the principle behind this program.
