Well, I definitely had the itch.
I started heading to the card shop, to learn how to play, but it was mostly hit or miss. Plenty of times, there was no one there to play with. But, I still had to find myself some packs. I would keep buying a couple here and there, from the card shop.
I would start looking for local game stores around my area that would sell Final Fantasy TCG, but sadly there weren’t that many. Most of them didn’t even know FFTCG existed.
I stumbled upon The Gaming Goat, in Tinley Park. Great place.
Walked in and noticed the booster boxes behind the counter. I had found a new place to shop. And, sitting right next to the boxes was an Opus VI Prerelease Kit. Now, I got excited. This was the first time I ever laid eyes upon it. It was like a mini booster box, but better. I quickly picked it up and drove straight home.
Sat down and got ready to open up the kit. The tape was cut, but I didn’t mind I still would have the packs, the promo card and the sleeves. I pulled back the top cover and all the packs were open! What happened here? Why is there a Yu-Gi-Oh card in here? I called them up, and I guess they figured out what happened, but they exchanged it and made my day.
Now, looking back, I think the opened cards were better than what I pulled from the packs.
