Super Smash Bros?

We recently got my son a Switch, and as he was playing, I heard some very familiar music. I look up and I see Mario battling, Samus, Link and Pikachu, but the battle was taking place in Midgar! Now I haven’t been paying much attention to video gaming lately, due to cardb … I mean Kardboard taking over a vast amount of my time. And, I was surprised to see Midgar in Super Smash Bros.  With Ramuh, casting Lightning Bolts, and Leviathan casting a Tidal Wave, as the train keeps on rolling around Midgar.

So, of course I did what any sane person will do. I walked over and started paying closer attention. He was having fun, and so was I. Just watching him cry for joy when he did something that he thought was super cool. Yes, he is just a four year old, excited with his new toy.

Then we started playing together. I noticed there were no Final Fantasy Characters on the Character selection screen, so I picked Samus to begin with. We started doing Team Battles, and every so often after a battle, there would be a screen that pops up, and says “A New Foe Has Arrived”. Some Character named Villager.

Who?

Now, I got to battle this guy?

Well, we lost the first time, cause we still were getting used to the controls. I had to change them up a little, because I kept hitting the wrong buttons as to what I would normally be pressing. Y is to Attack, not Jump. I thought the controls would have been similar to the old Super Mario games of my time. After some tweaking, I was ready to go. And, go we went. We started grabbing new Characters left and right. Princess Peach, King K. Rool, Lil Mac, Diddy Kong, Some guy with a sword. And, then it was bedtime.

I put the kids to bed and sat at my desk to finish up packaging some orders. I took a break and looked up Super Smash Bros had Cloud in it. Can’t stop now, I still have some orders to finish.

Finished up the orders, and I grabbed my son’s Switch and I started playing. Hoping to get Cloud. This has been going on for a couple of nights and still no Cloud in sight, but we did grab some cool Characters. Sonic, Snake, and Bayonetta. I can feel it Cloud is right around the corner.

Final Fantasy XIII and a Sale of Sorts

Shop for singles and more at our TCGPlayer shop.

What do we talk about today?

Snow? Lightning? Final Fantasy XIII?

Just because it’s cold, doesn’t mean we have to talk about Shiva. Or Snow for that matter.

But, he’s a Hero, you’ll say. And, I’ll say. Tell that to Hope.

I’m not going to get into Final Fantasy XIII at the moment, but I feel like I kind of have to just because of Hidden Trials. And, how I believe that it will be a great set. Well, that’s how all sets look like when they are first announced months in advance. Just like Hidden Hope, we have a new Mechanic that will be debuting in just a couple of months.

And, then I heard something about a side board, but I can’t remember where I heard that, or seen that. I’m just wondering when they’ll start adding Weapons. And, spells, where you can add Omnislash to any Cloud that you control. It would be a good mechanic, just ask Cloud, he’ll tell you it would work great.

And, as we’re waiting on Hidden Hopes, and Hidden Trials, we’re also waiting on some news for the Magic : The Gathering Final Fantasy set. It was first announced a couple of years ago. I was expecting it to have been out already, but the only thing we know is that it should be released this year.

And, since we’re on the topic of Final Fantasy XIII we have a sale going on for the Final Fantasy XIII Kai Art Museum boxes. $25 off your order if you order one by 02/08/2024. Just use Coupon Code FANG

Don’t know what’s in it? Well we decided to open one up on camera.

Let’s see if we can embed it.

There we are.

Let’s Get Organized

We decided that we will change the office once again.

Hopefully, it’ll be the last time we do it, because it’s a mess that doesn’t get sorted until months later. I had to crack a box to find a card we sold, because we couldn’t find it. Considering it should have been where all the other FFTCG cards were, but nope. For some reason, all of the Light and Dark card from Beyond Destiny have been misplaced. And, all the Full Arts.

All I know is that they are somewhere. And, we have close to 100,000 cards to go through in order to find it. With more coming in every week, but those are put elsewhere until we are done sorting and listing. Then they go in their respective place of storage, until it needs to be pulled to be sent out to you.

Or You.

Or You, yes you in the back with the hat.

And with that I’d like to let you know that we are buying bulk. Do you have some to sell? If so, let us know. We would love to take those cards off of your hands.

Achievement Unlocked

“Sending cards to all Korners of the U.S.”

We set this goal in July, when we decided to see how long it would take us to sell an item to all 50 states. The ones that we thought would be hard we’re actually one of the first ones that we sold to. And those are Alaska, and Hawaii.

I don’t know if that was just luck, or what. But, I have seen that we are sending quite a few orders to Hawaii each month. Alaska every other month or so.

The one that took the longest was Montana. We just shipped some cards over there last week, thus fulfilling our goal.
Sure it might not be anything special, with the website, eBay, and Tcgplayer working all together, it’s just something fun that we wanted to do to see how long it will take.

Now, we can label ourselves as a Nation Wide Seller of Kardboard. It all started in this little Korner.

But, we’re also a Buyer. We’ll buy your Bulk that’s taking up too much space.
