Tl;dr: they're switching from print to demand to limited print runs for Secret Lairs

I can't see how this is good. The few times I've gotten a Secret Lair I found their shipping pretty quick, and limited print runs only encourage scalpers to buy out and jack up the prices. But I feel like Wizards is fine with that as long as it creates more FOMO.

I imagine the answer is just “money!” but surely they could do both - an up front print run and then on demand print as well

This is what they have been doing, and it seemed like it removed nearly all of the complaints about slow delivery. Which is why this announcement feels strange
