Memories of Kardboard

Another Memories of Life Midnight Prerelease is in the books, and as usual, it was an absolute blast!

As for yours truly? I went completely unvictorious. That’s right—I went 0-2, caught a bye, and officially locked down dead last place. But hey, that’s completely fine by me—I can’t really go around winning my own shop prizes anyway!

We’ve been insanely busy behind the scenes over the last few weeks, which is why updates have been a little sparse lately. Things might stay a bit quiet on the news front for another stretch, with one big exception: our Memories of Life set reviews, which we are actively working on right now. Keep your eyes peeled, because those will be dropping on the site soon!

📦 Restock Quest Update: Level Opus X Complete!

So, what have we been grinding out behind the scenes?

We officially hit Opus X on the Restock Quest and cleared it out! That puts us at roughly 1/3rd of the way through this massive project, with plenty of ground left to cover. We’re going to hit the pause button on the quest for just this week so we can focus entirely on the official Memories of Life launch.

🛒 Pre-Orders & Leftover Prerelease Kits LIVE!

Speaking of Memories of Life, our official allocation numbers are locked in, which means booster boxes are officially live for Pre-Order on the site right now! As soon as our shipment hits the front door, we’ll be packing and shipping them out to your doorstep immediately.

Plus, if you couldn’t make it out to Mr. Gyros for the tournament, we have a limited number of leftover Prerelease Kits available on the store as well. Grab yours before they’re gone!

Heavensward and Events

They have finally arrived! That means we’ve officially put the Heavensward Starter Sets up on our site, as well as across our TCGplayer and eBay storefronts.

That being said, tonight’s Win-a-Box tournament has been canceled. But no worries on that front, because our Memories of Life Midnight Prerelease is right around the Korner! And we all know how we do things for prerelease night…

Yes, you guessed it: nobody walks away empty-handed.

We’ll have the full rundown and complete event details coming up for you next week, so stay tuned!

10/12/2026

If you haven’t noticed yet, the Heavensward Starter Sets have been delayed. We’re currently waiting on news as to when we’ll be getting them in stock—hopefully they arrive in time for our next Win-a-Box tournament, which is right around the Korner on Friday, October 23rd!

As for our Restock Quest, we officially wrapped up Opus IV and Opus V last week. We also took a small detour to list some UniVersus: Godzilla singles over on our TCGplayer storefront.

Other than that, we’re slowly getting ready for Memories of Life coming out next month, which means another Midnight Prerelease is just on the horizon as well.

Outside the shop, soccer season is almost over, which means we’ll finally have more time to get things done around here. We’ve got our final tournament next weekend—it’s win or go home, and we plan on winning!

Weekly Update 09/21/2026

We are officially putting a bow on Opus II today!

All that’s left on the checklist is listing a fresh batch of Lightly Played (LP) singles over on our eBay store. Honestly, given how fast Opus I vanished, those LP cards might already be sold out by the time you’re even reading this update. If you missed out, keep your eyes on the site—we’re jumping straight into the next leg of the quest.

🤹 The Balancing Act: Busy Is an Understatement

If things feel like they’re moving just a little bit slower around here lately, it’s because we’ve officially stacked our plates as high as they’ll go:

  1. Sifting through that mammoth 35,000-card collection drop.

  2. Undergoing a complete office and storage workspace overhaul.

  3. Coaching the kids on the soccer field every week.

It’s a lot of moving parts all at once, but standing still isn’t in our DNA. We’d much rather be running full speed ahead than sitting around waiting for things to happen!

🧠 Work Smarter, Not Harder: The Bulk Strategy

Why is processing this 35k stack taking a bit of extra time? Simple: we refuse to do the work twice.

Since we’re actively downsizing non-FFTCG inventory and clearing out physical space, we’re being super methodical about storage. The last thing we want to do is pack 5,000 cards into a new set of storage drawers, only to turn around next week, pull them all back out to make room for proper set inventory, and end up with a mountain of bulk boxes cluttering the floor all over again.

We’re taking the extra time now to sort, purge, and organize everything right the first time. That way, once a drawer is filled, it stays filled with exactly what you’re looking for when you order.

Restock Quest

We are officially back on track, and the Restock Quest is in full swing once again!

If you’ve been keeping an eye on our TCG Player and eBay stores lately, you might have noticed that Opus I is completely done and loaded! Some of you clearly saw it hitting the inventory, because a handful of those cards didn’t even last a single day on the shelves before getting snagged. That’s always an awesome sight to see—now we just have to repeat the process for the rest of the sets until the whole quest is complete.

📦 The 35,000 Card Vault Has Arrived

This next stretch of the quest is going to take a bit of time. Right after the release of Blissful Eternity, we took delivery of a massive 35,000-card collection.

We are talking about cards spanning all the way from Opus I through Dreamlike Oceans, along with plenty of Legacy Collection gems sprinkled throughout. If you’ve been hunting for a specific single to complete a binder set or finish a deck build, chances are high it’s sitting in this pile. Keep your eyes peeled on KardboardKorner.com as we sort and list them over the coming weeks.

🗄️ Office Remodel & The Great Non-FFTCG Bulk Clearance

To keep up with all this inventory without losing our minds, we are currently in the middle of remodeling the Kardboard Korner office space.

We brought in new storage cabinets and drawer systems to make our pull-and-pack fulfillment process way faster and cleaner. Along with the makeover, we’re doing some serious inventory downsizing—specifically for everything that isn’t Final Fantasy TCG. We need to clear out physical room for our main focus, which means we will be selling off our extra non-FFTCG bulk very soon. One shop’s space constraint is another player’s treasure, so stay tuned if you’re looking to pick up cheap bulk lots!

⚔️ Mark Your Calendars: Next Event Set for October 23rd!

After how well our first Win-a-Box Event went at Mr. Gyros, we are officially locking in our next tournament date for Friday, October 23rd!

The timing works out great: the brand-new FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Starter Set drops on October 9th, giving you a couple of weeks to pick up the deck, get familiar with the new Ice & Lightning mechanics, and test those fresh cards out in actual competition with us.
