Pre-Order Updates - Bracer Supply Box & Trails TCG (October 2nd Update)

Hey Everyone, I wanted to give you an update on pre-orders here at Pin Box! We’ve been busy working away at the final stages of production for the Bracer Supply Box, and more importantly, when you can expect it to ship. We also have an update regarding the English Trails TCG. As always, you’ll find a TL:DR summary below.

TL:DR

  • Shipping for the Bracer Supply Box is expected to begin before the end of October 2025.
  • The last date to update your shipping address is 15th October 2025. Any changes after this date cannot be guaranteed. Please make any changes here: https://support.pin.box/.
  • The manufacturer of the English Trails TCG has not yet dispatched international orders, citing shipping issues. We are still waiting for an updated timeframe from TCG Co., Ltd.
  • Meanwhile, we are fulfilling orders for the TCG as quickly as we can using alternative stock we had arranged. Orders are being fulfilled in the order they were received.
  • (October 1st Update) TCG Co., Ltd have notified us that they will begin shipping international orders on the 6th October. We have already sourced over 5000 packs from other sources in order to fulfill orders ASAP, they are out for delivery to us today and we'll be working as fast as possible to fulfill what we can to everyone. Thank you for your understanding.
  • (October 2nd Update) We have now fulfilled all pre-orders for the English TCG with the exception of order going to Canada due to the Canada Post Strike.

The Bracer Supply Box

We’re happy to say we have now received all elements of the Bracer Supply Box and are working on the final production of in-house items before the last assembly and shipping of the boxes. Below is some additional information per item:

✅ Estelle’s Bag

Production complete & ready to pack.

✅ Junior Bracer Notebook

Production complete & ready to pack.

✅ Art Cards

Production complete & ready to pack.

🔧 Acrylic Diorama

Production complete. We’re test-fitting all pieces to ensure the set fits securely. About 75% of this process is complete.

✅ Joshua Chibi Pin

Production complete & ready to pack.

🔧 Estelle Chibi Pin

Final stage (attaching the spinning staff) has been tricky due to very fine tolerances. We encountered metal getting stuck in tooling but believe we now have a solution and production is continuing. 

October 2nd Update - We have found an alternative soloution to attaching the staff to the pin, it's no better than the original solution in the finished product however makes production actually viable at a large scale which is what we need to fulfil these orders. Due to this a very small number of Estelle pins will have the original attachement method. (< 5%) Again this does not affect the functionality of the pin whatsoever

✅ Junior Bracer Emblem Pin

Production complete & ready to pack.

✅ Agate Broadsword & Joshua Dirk Keychains

Production complete & ready to pack.

✅ Orbment

Production complete & ready to pack.

🔧 Quartz

Production complete. We’re currently placing all quartz into display cases — 14 per box, meaning over 20,000 pieces. It’s a labour-intensive process and, needless to say, how my evenings at home are currently being spent!

✅ Canvas Map

Production complete & ready to pack.

✅ Collector’s Box, Custom Shipping Boxes & Foam

Production complete & ready to pack.

We truly are on the home stretch of production and are still estimating shipping to be complete by the end of October 2025. If anything changes, we’ll notify you immediately.

Important: The deadline for updating your shipping address is 15th October. To update, please open a ticket at https://support.pin.box/. Use the dedicated “Update Address” ticket type — filling this in correctly helps us process your request quickly.

We’re really excited to get these out to everyone and see your reactions!

Trails English TCG

The manufacturer of the Trails TCG (TCG Co., Ltd) has unfortunately experienced delays in shipping international orders. They cited unexpected additional documentation requirements for export as the reason for the delay. Their last update was on Thursday, 25th September, and we have since followed up for more information. We expect to have an update very soon, and once the shipment arrives (it is being expedited), we will fulfil all pending orders without delay.

In the meantime, we are fulfilling what we can using stock acquired through third parties. Getting your order to you as close to launch as possible is very important to us, and we are doing everything we can to make this happen.

For customers in the USA, we are covering the tariffs on these items, so you will not be charged additional fees at delivery.

We apologise for the inconvenience this delay has caused. We will update you with any further information as soon as we receive it.

OCTOBER 1st UPDATE

We have been notifed today that TCG Co., Ltd will be shipping out international wholesale orders on October 6th, we would presume with a week travel they would land with us on October 13th. When pressed to the actual cause of the delays they responded with this statement:

"We use a joint delivery system for deliveries. 
Regarding delivery, we can only arrange for multiple deliveries once we have confirmed that there will be no delivery issues for the single delivery address of the product we want to ship this time, namely the Trails TCG. 

When we carried out this confirmation process at the beginning of September, EORI information was not required, but once the product was completed and it was time to ship, 
we were notified that this information was now required, so we had to start all the procedures over again. 

We sincerely apologize once again for the delay in shipping the product."

At Pin Box we understand how a new product launch is an exciting time and delays deminish that excitement and we thank everyone for trusting us with your pre-order for these cards. With that in mind we were proactive in securing stock from other third parties as soon as we saw signs that there could be issues with the shipment of our wholesale order.

In total we already have over 5000 packs either already in the warehouse or out for delivery to us today and we'll be using this stock to fulfill orders ASAP, which should mean orders we can fulfil from that are getting shipped out 2 weeks earlier than they would otherwise.

For those who are interested in the Promo Cards (Not the ones included in Booster Boxes, those are unaffected) we will be working out a system where people who pre-ordered early will be able to redeem them with a future order. Given the circumstances this is the best solution we can provide at this time. We will share more information when we are able to but there will be a minimum of a 6 month window for you to redeem this and it will be strictly connected to your account so there will be no strict urgency.

We hope you can appreciate we are doing all we can and we wish you luck when you get your cards and open them!

 

October 2nd Update

Pretty much all pre-orders for the TCG have now been dispatched using alternative stock. The only exceptions are a handful of orders that have come in over the last 48 hours and orders that are destined to Canada. Due to the Canada Post strike, Royal Mail has suspended all shipments there. As soon as the strike is resolved we will send these remaining shipments out. 

As mentioned in the October 1st update we will have more information about the promo card when we have created a solution and a way to roll it out once we recieve our actual shipment from TCG Co., Ltd.

Thank you for your understanding!
