Future outlook
Scenario analysis: The possibilities below are not certain predictions.
MSI states that all products in the collection will be available in limited quantities.
If the limited quantities sell out quickly, interested buyers may need to seek alternative channels or wait for potential restocks, though no restock plans have been announced.
The Draco theme could become a collector's item among enthusiasts, but its long-term availability and pricing remain unclear.
