Disney Lorcana’s New Fabled Set Launches This Week – Here’s How (and What) to Buy

It’s getting harder to find ahead of launch, but the Fabled Collection Starter Set is geared more towards collectors than the starter decks below.

It includes 4 booster packs (a total of 48 cards), a portfolio binder for Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor, a collector’s guide, and a Glimmer Foil variant of Tinker Bell - Giant Fairy.

It’s all over the place, price-wise, at the moment because it’s something we’ve not seen for Lorcana yet, but you can hopefully pick it up for a reasonable price once it’s out.

Preconstructed Starter Decks

Lorcana has been putting out some fun decks you can play right out of the box since it debuted, and this time, there are two being added.

The first, with an Amber & Sapphire archetype, features Ariel and Mulan from The Little Mermaid and, uh, Mulan, respectively. There are 60 cards included, with foil versions of our heroines, as well as damage tokens and a bonus booster pack.

The Emerald & Ruby deck has a Goofy Movie theme, with Max Goof and Powerline as the headliners, both in foil, as well as counters and that additional booster.

Each deck is $16.99 at Amazon.

Gift Set

This Frozen-focused Fabled Gift Set includes a storage box bearing Elsa’s image, as well as five booster packs, dividers for the box, and perhaps most importantly, a Glimmer Foil version of Elsa - The Fifth Spirit, alluding to the events of Frozen 2.

It’s expected to sell for around $40, if you can find it, and given the enduring popularity of Frozen (and Elsa herself), there’s every chance there’s some real resale value here.

Booster Packs

As with previous sets, you can buy individual booster packs or buy a booster box.

Individual packs are available at $5.99 each, and include 12 cards: 6 common, 3 uncommon, 2 cards of higher rarities, and 1 random foil card.

Booster boxes are going for $143.99 at the time of writing, and include 24 booster packs.

Illumineer’s Trove

The Illumineer’s Trove is back, with a storage box that comes with themed, ink-colored dice inside, a life counter, 8 booster packs, and half a dozen card dividers.

Given that it should sell for around $50, you’re not paying that much more than you’d be spending for just the packs on their own.

Ahead of launch, however, it’s around $70, which diminishes its appeal somewhat.

Fabled Portfolio Binders and Deck Boxes

Built your collection? You’ll no doubt want somewhere to display them, or to keep your decks.

Disney and Ravensburger have new portfolio binders, deck boxes, and even card sleeves that range from Mufasa, to princesses, Mulan, and even the Goof Troop, so there are plenty to pick up.
