Hidden Trials

We have just received word of a new set coming out.

Opus XXIII, Opus 23 or Hidden Trials. Call it whatever you’d like.
And we are excited!

Lightning graces the Booster Box with original artwork. And it sure is looking good. We can already guess on which card will have the Golden Signat … wait, … I don’t believe there is a Golden Signature. It just mentions a Special Card with an original illustration. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

We do get to see some of the cards, and I can tell you Lightning and Queen just look amazing.

We’re getting a new Tyro as well. This time Tyro is representing Wind, we’ll see how well he does in his new element. It also mentions that Final Fantasy Record Keeper will be a “Featured Title” so, I’m expecting at the very least a bunch of Record Keeper Standard Units, and Maybe just maybe, we’ll get the pixel art cards I’ve been wanting for a long, long time. You heard it here first. January, 11th 2024.

Legacy cards are back. Lightning (15-041L), Rydia (15-083L) and Refia (19-102L). I don’t get why they are just grabbing cards from newer sets, I believe that since they are named Legacy cards they should have come from older sets. At least 10 sets.

But, what do I know.

And with that I’ll just leave the press release here.

Hidden Trials will elevate the ‘Limit Break’ mechanic to new heights thanks to custom-themed cards that can turn the tide of battle, revolutionising the deck-building experience for players.

For the collectors, this Opus will include a very rare, Special Card [23-037R] showcasing an original illustration of FINAL FANTASY XIII Lightning by Miki Yamashita. Additionally, three beloved Legacy cards, Lightning [15-041L], Rydia [15-083L], and Refia [19-102L], are included.

As per tradition, renowned artists have contributed stunning new art pieces to bring the characters to life:

Here’s to 2024

2023 was our best year yet. We met multiple goals that we had set for ourselves. And, now it’s time to set new goals and and surpass them. We couldn’t have done it without all of you. And, we’re striving to make 2024 a better year. So, …

What’s a good way to start 2024?

Considering that we’re already a week in, we’re already doing better than last year. But, we need to do more. Much more. First off we need to start doing more shows. Cons and Events. We’ll have Hidden Hopes Midnight PreRelease coming up in a couple of months. We’ll be looking into doing more card shows, and more toy shows. We’re looking to do some traveling around here. Get out of the office, stretch our legs, and meet some of you.

Next off, the plan is to change up the website. As you already have seen we’re not listing any new singles on here. Sure you can still buy the ones we have here until we get rid of them. Or until, we get that update done, which with everything that’s going on it might take some time. But, have no fear, if you’re looking to grab some singles, you can just head on over to our TCGPlayerPro store. Where we have all of our singles already on there. And, we’re adding more each day.

We also plan on doing a bunch of Coupons. With one coming shortly. We’ll keep you updated.

Turkeys, Chocobos, and a Sale

It’s that time of the year where the turkeys are Roasting in the oven, or Frying in the Deep Fryer, either way it’s Turkey Day. And, What’s better than Turkey Day, its the sales and discounts on everything. And, we decided to make it a week long event.

Up to, and including November 28th, we will have a coupon running for a 10% discount on any item in the shop.

Where can you find this Coupon?

It’s right here, we won’t send you on a wild goose chase, especially not after you ate all of that Turkey, and the Melatonin starts kicking in, you’ll be ready for a nap. I’d be too! But, some of the items that we have have a very limited supply, so you’d better hurry and grab them before someone else does.

Coupon code is GOBBLE use it for your discount, and Free Shipping on orders over $200.
