Kardboard Fantasy

05/05

Ended up listing all of the Video Games, that we got at the Flea Market on eBay. You might ask why not just on the website? Well, we’ll be listing games that we personally like on the Kardboard Korner. We might be moving to Shopify soon, as that might be better for us in the near future.

Ran a sale on all the singles on the website. 20% off. Some of you got a great deal. Some of you missed out.

You’ll have to keep an eye out for the next sale. Or you can just subscribe to the newsletter and we’ll let you know when it will pop up.

Did a restock on Resurgence of Power, for TCG Player and eBay.

Since our Cinco de Mayo coupon did pretty good, we decided to add one more day to it. Didn’t do so great today.

We’re sponsors for the Fun Run that our kids go to school at. And we got our T-Shirts in today. These ones look better than last year’s shirts, and plus we have the Kardboard Korner logo on the back. Can’t go wrong with that.

It’s Wednesday, and that means we’re heading to the Flea Market, in hopes of finding our guy there. He was there today, but he had nothing for me. Just half of a Switch game pad. The blue side if you need to know. I left it there.

The Power Supply came in today, now let’s see if we can get this PlayStation 2 to work. I got a bunch of games that I need to test. Once this one is good, I’m going to start on the 3 Xboxs.

It turns on now, but I must have messed something else up.

05/08

It was the Fun Run today, we went to support our kids. Plenty of Coffee provided, so I was happy. I cheered on the kids and took off.

Found some PlayStation accessories while I was out sailing today.

05/09

City wide Garage Sales.

That’s our cue. Dropped the kids off to school and off we go. And, even though it said city wide there weren’t that many sales out there. All we managed to find was a Sully Talking Plush. Which was pretty cool, but not exactly what we needed. We still picked it up though.

As I was starting to head home, I saw a tiny sign, it’s a garage sale sign all right. Had a little trouble finding it. Once I got there, I walked all the way to the back of the driveway, and I see 2 people going through 2 bins full of Vintage Nintendo. I’m talking about Consoles and Games. You name it, it was in there. I just turned around and left. No point in sticking around there.

Now that sucked big time. I was a little pissed off, not at those two. They had every right to grab them all, I would have done the same. I was just pissed that I didn’t get there first. It’s all good though. They got it, as they should have.

Restock for From Nightmares on TCG Player and eBay.

05/10

First off let’s rewind a couple of days.

My son saw a Minecraft Nightlight that I had for sale for when I would go to shows. And, as every 6 year that would see it. He wanted it. Of course he asked for it and I said no. I told him that he can earn it. All he had to do was come work with me for a day or two. He agreed. I also told him that on Saturday he would have to wake up early so we can head out to the Flea Markets.

Today’s the day. I woke him up, and he got up so fast, he got ready in 5 minutes. I was surprised. He was ready to go. He kept asking what do I have to do?

I said just come along for the ride, maybe you’ll learn something.

It was a fun day with him, just cracking jokes in the car.

First Flea Market, we ended up with a couple of XBox 360s, a Dreamcast, Gameboy Color, PS2 Slim, an Ipod, a battery for an Ibook, and some games for these systems.

We were done with that one, and since it was still early, we decided to go to another one. We found one that was off of I-55 which said was open on Saturday. Turns out it was not. We turned around and headed towards another Flea Market, took us 20 minutes just to get a Parking Spot at the last one. You’d think that it would be a great one. But, we did not find anything there.

That was it for today, time to head home.

05/11

Sunday.

It was time to try and test everything that we picked up yesterday. Most of the Consoles had cables and everything, but some were missing a cable or a controller. So, we couldn’t test those.

Out of all the games that were in the package that we picked up yesterday, the only one really worth anything was Gran Theft Auto 2 Collector’s Edition for the original PlayStation. And, that one sold within the hour of listing it.

I might have to find a way to let you all know of the new items before they hit eBay.

Starter Set Vol.1 and Vol.2

We have new Starters announced! And, this time they are not bundled together. You can choose which one you’d rather have. Cloud or Zack? Vol.1 or Vol.2?

From what I can tell, they are not Final Fantasy VII themed decks as the cards that were shown contain Characters from the different series. Lightning, Yuna, Luso, Charlotte, are all included in these sets as well.

Set for release in October 3rd, which gives us a Tentative release date for Opus XXVII for either October 31st, or November 7th.

Both of these sets come with a Full Art Foil of either Zack or Cloud.

And, for the first time these Starter Sets will also include a Limit Break deck as well.

Cecil’s Dark Knights

Its the Red Wings! Sort of.

We’re starting off with Dark Knights.

Cecil, of course will be the first card that we’ll be putting in our deck.And, after looking at all of the Cecils available, we decided on 2 different Cecils. This way you can always have a Cecil on the field. Our main Cecil will be Cecil (15-073H). You’ll want a Crystal Generator on the field, before you play this one, or you can just go ahead and take the one point of damage. Because at 3 points of damage, Cecil will search for Cecil when he is sent into the Break Zone. And,as a true Dark Knight, Cecil will deal your opponent 2 points of damage with the help of Souleater.

The other Cecil is Opus I (1-108H). Cecil will be mostly used for the cost to pay for Souleater, but if he is on the field and you receive damage, Cecil will deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 5000 damage.

The rest of the Dark Knights are Graham (8-075C) who will break a Forward when he is put into the Break Zone. Zeid (25-024H) who can come in with Back Attack and every time Zeid is dealt damage, your opponent selects one of their dull Forwards and sends it to the Break Zone. And, Teodor (18-028L) 9CP? Yeah, no. We’re Warping! For 2CP Teodor will enter the field on your next turn. When he enters he field your opponent discards 2 cards, and since Teodor warped into the field, your opponent will discard another card as well.

We have Tilika EX (18-061R) to generate Crystals. Garland (IX) (8-026L) to keep your opponent’s Forwards at bay. 3 different Dark Knights. And a Baron Guardsman.

Our Backups include Tyro (11-072R) just because if you’re playing Earth you should play Tyro. The rest of the Backups include Crystal Generators and Dark Knights. Nothing special going on here.

Two Summons in this one. Zalera, the Death Seraph (24-026H) and Hecatoncheir (15-082H). You could probably add Cu Sith (10-068C) in here as well.

Monsters, just a handful Antlion (11-066C), Behemoth (19-066C) and Seeping Brie (17-073C)

And, the LB deck consists of 3 cards Maat (22-119R), Selh’teus (24-118R) and Noctis (23-125R). There’s still not much of a selection with the Limit Break cards, so we take what we can get.

Well this is what we got. What would you do different?

Let us know in the comments!

FFIV Themed Decks

How will we make a deck that can tell us the story of Final Fantasy IV? I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time, and I never came to how we would do it.

Do we focus on each Character? Do we focus on Good Guys and Bad Guys? Do we take into account Interlude and The After Years? We can probably do it all, but where do we start? How will we make the decks without using the same cards over and over again?

As of today there are currently 192 Final Fantasy IV cards. This includes The After Years.

Cecil.

Do we take his story on how he changes from a Dark Knight into a Paladin? Or what if we just keep Cecil as a Dark Knight? Can we make a deck with Cecil and all of Baron’s Soldiers? Probably not. We only have Barn’s Guardsmen and Kain. Maybe Baigan can fit somewhere into that deck. What about Paladin Cecil, as he is set to battle against Golbez. Do we add Golbez in the deck?

There are so many questions. And, so many decks that we can build.

Stay tuned.
