FB11 is COOKING 🔥

I really think this set is going to be great from top to bottom. That SS3 Goku is absolutely going to be my chase. I think I may prefer the SCR ⭐️ over the SCR ⭐️⭐️. Can't wait to see these in person.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@breezycollects Man the Red Mangas are just in a league of their own.

FP-034 is definitely a head above the rest but they’re all gorgeous.

Great list! 👊 🤝

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@Hansel97664102 I wouldn’t say this downturn is isolated to FW only. Ultimately, no one knows for sure.

I will say, FW has a ton going for it from a playability aspect and collector standpoint.

Not to mention: anime returning, manga continuation, new theme parks, large investment in the IP.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

Everyone is focused on ST01 and rightfully so but man, these next few months are going to be very interesting.

We are definitely entering a different period for FW. You have FB11, FB12, ST02, FB13, AND ST03 all on the horizon!? It really feels like we're just getting started 🔥

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@supadupasayan So many positive things coming down the road for FW 🔥

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@greenysgrails They’re really cooking with these sets

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@Onslaught0686 I’m seeing a lot more people starting to pick it up. The digital client is a huge proponent of that for sure. With the recent allocation changes from Bandai, it wouldn’t shock me to continue to see more and more individuals pick up playing.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

This chart goes hand in hand with what I referenced this morning.

I’m not entirely sure how you can overlook or discredit what DB is as an IP. Even with the lack of marketing and content, DB is an absolute POWERHOUSE.

Great insight and a good read.

Dragon Ball is a ~$1.2B/year printing machine for Bandai.

And almost nobody is looking at what that could mean for its TCG.

Bandai reported roughly $1.2B in Dragon Ball IP sales in FY2025.

One Piece did roughly $878M

Dragon Ball generated ~37% more IP sales than One Piece.

Without even running a anime for most of that time.
Now imagine what happens when the content pipeline finally comes back this and next year.

Think about it.

One Piece TCG became one of the biggest TCGs in the world in just a few years.

Now look at Dragon Ball.

A ~$1.2B IP ecosystem sitting behind a TCG that is still tiny compared to One Piece.

Fusion World is still dramatically smaller than One Piece Card Game, despite Dragon Ball being the larger Bandai IP by annual sales.

Its crazy how early we still are. We are barely at the beginning, and we are already starting to see serious traction with ST01.

One Piece proved how powerful a Bandai TCG can become when the IP and card game finally catch up with each other.

Im watching to see what happens when Dragon Ball gets the same attention soon.

Because right now, the size of the IP and the size of the TCG dont match.

@RiftboundGG @Hellaorganics I still can’t believe this lol they’re so ugly

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@DBpapii Some serious 🔥

Love the premium feel across FW from low end to high end. It really is something special.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@cliffeur This looks incredible!

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

The DB train keeps rolling. Seems like we’re getting news like this daily.

It’s really exciting to see. 🐉 🌎⚡️

[My Mixtapez @mymixtapez]

A Dragon Ball theme park is officially opening in France with opening dates still in discussion 🎢

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@RiftboundGG Couldn’t agree more.

This is sweet! I love the TAG slab too. I’m starting to dig deeper and deeper into some vintage DB and man is it getting fun.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

🐉DB vs OP☠️

This seems to be a very hot topic recently. I think what OP is and is doing specifically in the TCG space is great.

With that said, people seem to not want to acknowledge just how big DB actually is as an IP.

To be fair - without DB, there is no OP.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@QuinnGoodwin11 OP has had wayyy more content and marketing behind it for sure. The Moro Arc and continuation of the Manga will be huge for DB imo.

Even without the anime/content and marketing behind it, DB is still a global powerhouse which I think people severely overlook.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@FoilandFlames Couldn’t agree more.

Really exciting times for DB and FW.

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@PokeTeeJay Great set to rip

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@KookyVang Awesome you’ll have to share the results when it comes back! Maybe a BL in your future 👀🍀

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

ST01 is living up to the hype.

This is probably the best set out right now across TCGs and damn is it so fun to rip. The sleeves and boxes are juiced 🧃

I really hope the second wave rumors are true and it is meaningful. Was anyone able to pull their chase?

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@KookyVang Absolutely! The packs have been absolutely loaded! Wish I was able to get a few more but not too much luck on my end. Hoping maybeee we see some more supply in Nov but not keeping my hopes too high. You going to grade this bad boy?

[Nova @TheeNoVa26]

@drew_hettinger Absolutely we’ll take those all day. I really want this card so I’d say this is a W. 🔥
