June 18th is Going to be Worth the Wait

Monday on our Whatnot stream with Bo and Barry, we shared an important update with the BoBA community: the release of Tecmo Bowl Edition is being pushed back to June 18.

We know a lot of you have been counting down the days for this set (as have we), and trust us nobody wants this release in your hands more than we do.

Unfortunately, we were hit with a delay at the factory that pushed production back beyond our original timeline.

The support, excitement, and energy around Tecmo Bowl Edition has been unreal since the first announcement.

From collectors chasing football legends to players hyped for the retro-inspired designs and gameplay, this set has quickly become one of the most anticipated releases we’ve ever worked on.

We’re already planning some huge things around release week, including live breaks, community events, and more surprises still to come.

The extra time also gives everyone one more chance to get prepared for what could become one of the most collectible BoBA releases yet.

We appreciate everyone who tuned into the stream last night and everyone who continues supporting Bo Jackson Battle Arena as we keep building this community together.

If for any reason you wish to refund your order email help@bobattlearena.com and we will get you taken care of.

June 18. Tecmo Bowl Edition. Let’s Bo.
