Boss Deck, Check. Sephiroth, Check.

How did we forget?

Well, we didn’t actually forget, but we still think it’s 2022.

The new Boss Deck is coming out in the next couple of days. And, we will have some. They are currently on their way. In a truck somewhere on the highway. And they could be on their way to you as well.

I remember when the first Boss Deck came out, we had some fun with it. Trying to take on 3 people is a beast of it’s own. Imagine being the Boss in a video game. You got to take the Light Warriors out, or in this case, AVALANCHE.

Keep an eye out for our unboxing video coming in the next few days, as we dive into a deck and check out what these cards look like.

Magnets

The item you never knew you needed. Final Fantasy Magnets, staying true to the NES 8-bit days we make these magnets to look exactly like they would in Final Fantasy. And, I think they look pretty good, if I say so myself.

We’re starting off with Final Fantasy 1, We made the Warriors of Light. Fighter, Thief, Monk, Black Mage, Red Mage and White Mage. You can get just one or all six. 4 would probably be ideal as that’s how many party members you have in the game. You can set them up to hold up your kids pictures or the bills you need to pay or anything else for that matter.

We’re also offering custom magnets as well. You can choose the base, then change around the color of the clothes, skin and hair color. And, as you know it I always misplace things so, those pics will be up later.

Watch out for the email, that will tell you when they go on sale. So, sign up for the newsletter while you’re at it. That way you won’t miss out on anything,

Another Pre-release, another Midnight event.

Get your hands on some Rebellion’s Call before the actual release. How? Just show up and join us for our Midnight Pre-Release Event on Friday – August 5th. Technically the event isn’t till the 6th but it will be the 6th once the clock strikes midnight.

Everyone can start showing up at 10PM for some casual play until everyone is set to play.

You should already know the rules but for those who don’t, well here’s your chance to figure out what’s going on.
Everyone gets their Kit, and must build their deck. We’ll have about 30 minutes for this. After that, we dive into the games. Standard tournament 30 minute rounds. And, that is pretty much it.

We’ll have prizes as well. Depending on how many people show up will determine the prizes. All that is certain is First place will receive another Pre-Release Kit, and a shiny Promo card. After that we’ll see what we have on offer. But the top 8 will walk away with something.

$45 for your first Kit and spot in the tournament.

After that each kit will be $40.

Where is this at?

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.”
