Got an email from WotC and Scalefast that states that my order has been cancelled and/or delayed until April (Monster Movie Marathon and Thrilling Tales of the Undead) and they are issuing a full refund. BUT.... They claim they will be sending me those that I ordered even with a full refund when they are produced and shipped in April. Don't know if anyone else has been contacted or not. This is the correct thing to do and I hope it remains true. A classy move at least. Let me know if you have heard the same OR if yours have arrived and which Drop did indeed show up or get cancelled and refunded. Thanks.

Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
I had a buddy that had a few secret lairs he ordered where somehow they never made it out of the US and into Canada, so they got returned to sender. So he got WotC to issue him a refund.
While the Secret Lair concept is neat and has produced some cool arts, it seems like quite the mess
This is another reason why Secret Lairs are bad for reprints when the way they've been doing it lately with The List seems like the best way to go about it without losing tons of revenue on Core Sets that don't sell. That and Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro has paid so much money on commission fees to these high paying artists for these Secret Lair reprints to where their budget can't even cover artists for Paper Magic products outside of Secret Lairs. While they'll occasionally hire big name artists to commission artwork for Magic cards like we've seen in War of the Spark and Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, in other sets they don't even bother with it by taking a loss just to half-ass it and call it a day because they know the product will sell regardless of bad artwork.
Bottom line, I feel as though Hasbro isn't giving Wizards of the Coast enough of a budget to work with and it's eating up the quality of Paper Magic at the expense of putting all their poker chips on the table for Digital Magic via Arena and MTGO. Digital Magic is just a terrible attempt of the full tabletop experience that ruins the casual experience via netdecking and pay to win. It's gotten so bad that Tabletop Simulator is stealing Arena and MTGO players with arguably better quality even though it's an unofficial online client. As for Secret Lairs, my Local Game Store (LGS) still hasn't got the Stranger Things Secret Lair drops that should've been out by now or Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro wouldn't allow my store to sell them.
