The second step to complete your registration and start working with TCG Factory, is to select us as your distributor from the Wizards of the Coast platform.
If you have just signed up and selected us as a reseller, we will start serving you from the moment you select us.
If, on the other hand, you have just made a change of distributor, please note that the change may not be immediate, as Wizards of the Coast must accept the change and update us with the information. If you are very close to a release, the change may be effective for the next release. But don’t worry: you won’t run out of material, in that case it will be served by your previous distributor.

Exclusive material for WPN Shops
If you are a WPN member, you will be able to purchase all Magic: the Gathering promotional material, including exclusive products such as prerelease packs . In addition, you will receive the material one week before the general release date. On our website you will be able to see the official release date of each product, except for the prerelease packs, which will carry the release date of the WPN stores as they are exclusive material.
Please note that, in general, Trading Card Games like this one are usually purchased through pre-orders, so we recommend to position yourself as soon as possible with the pre-sales (within the pre-order deadline) to avoid any inconvenience in receiving them.
What is a Prerelease Pack?
It is an exclusive pack for WPN stores that have chosen TCG Factory as their distributor. Each edition of Magic: the Gahtering includes one of these packs with everything you need to organize a presentation event:
- Play Boosters
- Premium and promotional cards
- Accessories
- Guides to organize the experience
This material is not released to the general market: it has an exclusive release date for WPN stores.
How to get the products on time?
Magic: the Gathering products work mostly under a pre-order system. In order to guarantee access and avoid inconveniences, we recommend that you make your pre-sales within the established timeframe.
Check on our platform the launch date of each product and make sure you position yourself in time.
