Hidden Trials Midnight Pre-Release

It’s that time once again. Hidden Trials is just around the Korner.

That means that the Hidden Trials Midnight Pre-Release is almost here as well. We’re looking at Friday, July 26th. Technically July, 27th. Just because we will start handing out the Pre-Release Kits for the event at 12AM.

And as usual, we will be giving out an extra kit to the winner. That means you’ll have 2 chances at pulling that Lightning Gold Stamped Signature Full Art. (That’s a mouthful.) Even if you don’t win, you’ll still walk away with something.

2nd and 3rd will split a kit.

4th will receive 3 packs.

5th-8th will each receive a pack each.

The event starts at 12AM, but you can show up from 10PM for free play. Casuals and not just for FFTCG, if you want to play Magic, go ahead. Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, anything you’d like.

We’ll just leave you with an address here. And, we’ll see you in about a month’s time.

Another Restock, For 2024

Yes it’s true, we managed to get our hand on more of these Anniversary Collection Sets. We were sold out of these in minutes after they went live. I don’t think they’ll sell out that fast this time, but just in case they do, you were warned.

We’re not going over MSRP for these, even though we have seen them elsewhere for much higher.

If you don’t want to navigate the site, just click here and we’ll take you straight to them.

Final Fantasy I P.001

Yes, it’s time I started to teach my little helpers all about the business. That means we need to start playing through the whole Final Fantasy series, and we’re starting off with the OG Final Fantasy.

I started looking for my old PSP, and the charging cables for it, and it was no where to be found. I told the kids that it would have to wait for another day. Then I started looking for some cards that I was going to start sorting, and lo and behold, there was the plug for the PSP. I tried looking for the Composite cords to hook it up to the tv, but couldn’t find those either, so we all sat together on the couch, huddled around the PSP.

-Spoilers

We started off by picking our classes, and naming the characters. We chose a Fighter, Red Mage, White Mage and a Black Mage. We named them and off we went. It took us a while to get through the King’s dialogue, because another reason we’re doing them, is to help them learn how to read. With one going into 1st grade, and the other into Kindergarten, what better way to learn then to play Final Fantasy. Sure it has words like coincidence, and prophecy but, it also has words like, the and is.

The next hour was spent walking around the town, and walking around town some more. And more. They decided to walk around in circles, as they thought that each entry to the town was going to be a different town. It was in and out of Cornelia.

Then it was off to the World Map, trying to get into the water, or crossing the bridge that wasn’t there yet.

The Monsters kept attacking us, and we kept battling them over and over.

After that it was time to buy our Weapons, Armor and Spells.

And, it was bedtime. Saved the game, and we’re getting ready to head to the Chaos Shrine.

Almost Forgot the Title

June is here, the Purge is complete, for the most part. Only the Boss Deck cards are still on the site, but those should be gone soon as well.

It’s time to slowly, very slowly, start getting ready for the next Trial. Hidden Trials is just a couple months away, and the Spoilers should be starting up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first Spoiler came out tomorrow. As we’re about 8 weeks away from Pre-Release. Speaking of Pre-Release, Midnight Pre-Release will be held once again. We’ll have details for that coming up as well. But, if you have already been to a Midnight Pre-Release you already know all of the details.

We’re also thinking about holding a free play night once a week. We’ve been thinking about it for quite some time now. Wednesdays seem like a good night. The plan is for it to start at 9PM every Wednesday, if there’s enough people we can hold a little tournament, if not it will all be just casual.

Not much else going on right now. Other than sorting. Lots and lots of sorting, after that it’s listing, and shipping, and buying more cards to sort.

Purge – 90% Complete

Shop For Singles and More at our TCG Player store.

Well, we finally finished Hidden Hope. A little later than other times, but as things get busier around here, some things need to be held off until we can get to them. Same goes with our Youtube videos. They should start off soon again.

The Purge is almost complete. Just 2 more sets to go. From Nightmares and Dawn of Heroes. After that, we’ll just have our Sealed Boosters, Starter Sets, and Supplies on the Site, until we figure out the next step. Which should be something along the lines of getting our TCG Player store onto the website. That way we won’t have to keep listing the same cards in three different places, dividing up how many copies we have, and figuring out which site gets which cards.

We’re slowly getting ready for Hidden Trials.

This whole time I thought it was coming out at the end of June, and started wondering why we haven’t had Spoilers come out yet. I was looking to get started early on the card reviews, but we’re not getting anything any time soon, as Hidden Trials releases in August.

Haven’t really been playing anything lately. So, I started looking for a copy of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. I already have all the games, I just need a way of getting my kids into Final Fantasy, and what better way than to get a copy for my kids. That way we can play all together on their Switch.

Other than that, we are still in buying mode.

We’ll buy your cards be it Final Fantasy TCG, MTG … well those are the 2 that we are mostly interested in. But, we’ll take all of your cards. Flesh and Blood, Dragon Ball, Weiss Schwarz, anything you got. Trading cards that aren’t TCG related as well, from video games, movies, tv series, comics and anything else that you might have that you want to get rid of.
