A Challenge, Five Qualifiers, and Three Price Swings You Should Know About

One qualifier is still running, and it ends tomorrow. Through the Decades Collectibles CCQ in Kentucky closes October 25. If you are within driving distance and you have a deck ready, today is the last realistic window.

It is a Championship qualifier, which means a finish good enough earns you a seat at something larger. A local store event is a fun Saturday. A CCQ is a résumé.

If you missed it, that is fine. The next two weeks are packed.

Bangkok is the one to watch

Disney Lorcana Challenge Bangkok 2026 starts October 30. Of everything on the calendar right now, this is the highest-profile event. A Challenge sits above a qualifier in the Lorcana event structure.

These are the bigger, international tournaments that pull strong players and tend to surface the decks that define a format. Whatever performs well in Bangkok will get talked about for weeks afterward.

You are probably not flying to Bangkok. Neither are most people reading this. But that is not the point. Bangkok is where players find out what the format actually rewards. The lists that do well there tend to appear at local CCQs two weekends later. Watch for coverage if you can find it.

Five qualifiers in eight days

Right behind Bangkok, qualifiers stack up fast.

A local store event is a fun Saturday. A CCQ is a résumé.

Osaka Wave-1 CCQ starts October 31 in Japan. Osaka Wave-2 CCQ follows on November 1 at the same location. Two rounds across consecutive days. If you are in or near Osaka, that is a weekend worth planning around.

Also on October 31, Inkbound Invitational Qualifier 1 opens in Hyperia City in the UK. The Hunny Alliance Cup, Team Trio, runs November 1, also in the UK. Two qualifiers in the UK across the same weekend is unusual.

The Team Trio format is specifically worth noting. That is a different kind of event than a solo qualifier. If you have two or three people you trust with a deck, it is worth checking whether your group qualifies to enter.

Leaf Peeper CCQ rounds the stretch out on November 7 in New Hampshire. By then you will have Bangkok results to study. That is useful. If you are planning a November 7 run, the week between Bangkok and Leaf Peeper is your prep window.

What changed in the price feed this week

Three cards moved enough to matter. One of them is genuinely strange.

Judy Hopps - Day Camp Instructor fell from $515.00 to $8.24. That is a 98% drop in one week. A card worth more than five hundred dollars is now eight. Something changed for that card.

We do not have a confirmed reason, and guessing would be irresponsible. What we can say is that $8.24 is either the buy of the year or a very efficient exit. Find out which before you act on it.

Judy Hopps - Uncovering Clues moved the other direction. Up 94%, from $1.24 to $2.41. Less dramatic in absolute dollars, but nearly doubling in a week is not nothing. Something is generating interest in that card.

Above the Crowd dropped 88%, from $39.99 to $4.66. Another sharp fall. Two cards in the same week losing more than 85% of their value is not routine.

What to actually do this week

If you are close to Kentucky, today is your last shot at Through the Decades. Go.

If you are not, put October 30 on your calendar and find Bangkok coverage. The results will tell you more about what November qualifiers reward than any theorycrafting does. Then decide whether Leaf Peeper CCQ on November 7 is your next real shot. Use the week between Bangkok and New Hampshire to tune accordingly.

And before you buy or sell anything with Judy Hopps - Day Camp Instructor's name on it, find out why it crashed. A 98% drop has a reason. Know what it is first.
