Oh God. I didn't know Secret Lair drops were like this.

I had heard these products were selling out instantly, with buyers stuck waiting in a virtual queue ever since WotC changed from a print-to-demand model to limited print runs. Fortunately, it seems this was not the case with the Avatar: The Last Airbender Superdrop. Preorders went live on November 17, 2025, but I only started looking at these in January. Somehow, all of the products are still available for purchase on WotC's website.

Unfortunately, the price is still high even when ordering direct-to-consumer. The Superdrop is in fact composed of five separate products:

• A Lot to Learn (4 cards)
• Everything Changed (4 cards)
• My Cabbages! (5 cards; corporate loves this meme)
• One with the Elements (6 cards)
• The Ember Island Players (5 cards)

Each of these products come in a foil and non-foil edition. It was time to decide: am I serious about collecting all treatments, or should I give the foils a miss? The markup would be far worse if I ended up looking for these on the secondhand market.

Ultimately I got my answer when I realised the Path of Ancestry promo is only available if your order exceeds the qualifying threshold: €224! The only products that meet that price tag are:

• the foil editions; and
• the Master of All Elements Everything Bundle, which included every single card in every treatment.

You can guess which option I ended up going with.

In other news, I just discovered I'm missing a Walmart-exclusive Aang promo. I've ordered one on eBay, but I'm starting to realise I should've been hunting for promos on Cardmarket. Prices seem to be a lot better on TCG-specific sites.
