Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con

Another show added to our schedule.

Once again Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con will be taking place on September 25th. But, this time we will also be there.

Orland Park Civic Center
14750 S. Ravinia Ave
Orland Park, IL 60462

9:00AM – 2:00PM

9:00 – 9:30 $10 Admission
9:30 – 2:00 $5 Admission

Kids under 10 Free with paid adult.

“What started as an idea blossumed into reality. The shows began on October of 2011, our founder, Leo Guerrero, attended many conventions during the 1980’s when they were held in the loop at the Congress Hotel. It was a time that any collector could go get his/her favorite collectible and get a chance to meet any creative person from any comic book company.

G Connn, formally called T-C-S, started at the Holiday Inn of Midway Airport in a 2000 square foot room, and now has moved to the Orland Park Civic Center, which is 10,000 square feet of space. Dealers include comic shops, vintage toys, and all other memorabilia ranging from posters to statues are represented at each show. We strive to get as diversified an offering as we can so that you, the collector, can have more to choose from.

This latest show, which will take place on Sunday, September 30th, will have a lot of what collectors expect at a show: great dealers and easily accessible creators.”

Opinion on Starters : Rebellion’s Call

17-131S – Kain

Haste? Check
Way to reduce the CP cost? Check
Buffs self when attacking? Check

All in all Kain here is a decent card. You might end up only paying 1CP for Kain, and if you do he’s an attacking Forward with 9K power.

 

 

17-132S -Zemus

Kind of plays like Don Corneo from a couple Opus back.

But, as before to remove 7 or 1 cards from your deck is quite the number.

Unless you’re sure you’re going to win this game, it’s best to avoid using these abilities. But, you’re playing Fire. Go on Aggro yourself ahead and hope for the best.

 

17-133S – Scarmiglione

Interesting.

If you’re playing against a Mono-build this card is a perfect choice. If not, it’s still a good choice.

Scarmiglione comes in and you pick an element. Scarmiglione becomes twice as strong against that element.

And, Blood Tap? Yes that damage will increase as well. It’s a Special ability and since you don’t need to dull Scarmiglione, you can keep using it till you run out of Scarmigliones. With this one there are a total of 4 different Scarmiglione. Multiply that by 3, and you can see how many times you’ll be able to use Blood Tap.

17-134S – Baigan EX

Not much here, but Baigan does allow you to search for Golbez.

After that you can put Baigan into the Break Zone to break a Forward.

4CP/8K power. Average card.

 

 

17-135S – Edge

Same thing with Scarmiglione. Edge has an ability that triggers when he enters the field. Depending on how many FFIV Characters you have on the field, Edge can break a Forward. You can quite easily pick apart your opponent using Mirage over and over.

Plenty of Edges to keep on hand for this ability.

 

 

17-136S – Kain

Kain allows you to grab a FFIV Water Character from the Break Zone.Plenty of Characters that you can choose from.
Other than that he can come in with Haste depending on the field situation.

 

 

 

17-137S – Rydia

Search for a couple of Summons, one gets tossed to the Break Zone by your opponent.

After that each time you cast a Summon, you might be able to break one of your opponents Forwards. Especially if they are high cost Summons.

 

 

 

17-138S – Rosa

Decent card, better card if Cecil is on the field.

Even though Rosa is a Forward, she plays like a Backup, casting White Magic on your Forwards. Activate and a buff. All for a total of 0CP. You know you’ll be using her ability each turn.

 

 

17-139S – Cecil

There are better Cecils, but every time I say that, someone comes up with a way that makes this one even better than the other ones.

So, I’ll just say that Cecil here can have up to 10K Power with Brave.

That and if you dull your FFIV Characters, you can dull Forwards and deal damage and stuff.

 

17-140S – Golbez

Same thing with Cecil, but Golbez can act like a Summon as well.

Which unless you’re searching for another Golbez I don’t see the point in not paying the 2CP and keeping Golbez on the field.

But, you might say 6CP is a lot to pay for this card. But so is the 7CP Odin and all he does is break a card.

Madison Comic Con 2022

Looks like we’ll be heading back to Wisconsin next month. We’ll have a table at the Madison Comic Con. All your Trading Card needs will be available. We’ll also bring along some other items that we think will get a good reaction from the attendees.

August 14th
10AM – 5PM

Monona Terrace Exhibit Hall
1 John Nolan Drive
Madison WI 53703

Adults are just $8 for a full day of fun, and kids 12 and under are FREE. But you don’t just get admission for that. Every person who attends Mighty Con gets a free comic book at the door to get their day started off right.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Plus, you get to come by and say Hi!

Just Another Update

It’s been a while since we’ve done a little update about what’s going on.

As you can see we’re starting to add more TCGs to the site. Mostly Pokemon, because that is what everyone likes. And, I get to add to my Mimikyu collection. We’re also going to start selling more singles on the site. As you can see, we already added the Pokemon Go Expansion that has just been released.

Opus I, should be up next because we’ve been meaning to do that for quite some time now. Along with the Promo cards and the Deck Exclusive cards. Our main focus will still be FFTCG.

After that Magic singles, MetaZoo and Flesh and Blood. This is a one man team on the website side, so please be patient. As always if you are looking for particular singles that are not listed you can always e-mail us, and we’ll be happy to look for you.

We’re dong more shows now as well. Some are better than others, but we’re still going out there. Trying to get at least one every weekend. Our Schedule is filling up fast. As soon as things are confirmed you know that we’ll make a post about it. Then we’ll send you an e-mail the week of to remind you. All you need to do is sign up to the mailing list. And you can do that right here on the page.

Our next show is July 10th, 2022. We’re doing a Win-A-Box tournament @Pescadon once again. We have prizes for the top 8. And even if you don’t make it to the top 8 you’ll still walk away with 2 Booster Packs.

It’s time for me to get back to work. I’ll keep you all updated.
