Just Around the Korner

We just got off the phone with our distributor, and our World Champions Decks 2024 are on their way. And, if all goes well, they will be here tomorrow.

With that, to whomever Pre-Ordered. First off thank you for your patience, and secondly, they will be sent out as soon as they arrive. Hopefully they will be arriving at your doorstep early next week.

I must say, that this is a great way to get somebody into the game. I would actually like to see two new players use these decks for the first time, as they go into the match blind.

That might make for a good video.

Warrior of Light at the End of the Tunnel

We’re starting to see the World Champion Decks 2024 starting to arrive at Distributor warehouses. Slowly making their way East. That means that they should be arriving in the next couple of days.

We’ve added them back on to the site. You can order some, and we’ll have them shipped out as soon as they arrive.

Delays suck.

Delays for the Championship

Yes, you read that right. The World Championship Decks 2024 have been delayed. I spoke to our distributor, as well as fellow card shops and they all have no clue as to when they will be arriving.

That is also why we have taken them down. If you are one of the few that have preordered it. We will send them out as soon as they get here.

We’ll keep you all updated with any new information.

Started off with finishing the restock of Opus XI. On both TCG Player and eBay. I still need to get some new Opus XI listings on eBay, I just have to find out where I placed those cards.

Tried Organizing the office again. The shelves in particular. Sometimes items come in, and I just throw it all on the shelves. And, that makes a big mess, because if you don’t do it right the first time, you won’t go back to it anytime soon. It does look a lot better now compared to before, but it is nowhere near to finished. And, I don’t think it ever will be.

We can always hope.

We’re really getting into 99 Nights in the Forest. I’ll play a game with the kids every night. We’ll make it to the end. So far we reached day 7, and I always die trying to save them from whatever is attacking them.

Toploaders came in today, now we don’t need to worry about them until we run out again. We got our last batch in April. 4 months. Let’s see when we’ll have to order our next batch. Let’s try for 3 months this time.

Also a batch of Heroes came in including Foils. I just wanted to pick up one card, the Full Art Ultros from Crystal Dominion, and I can’t stop at one card. I ended up stopping at around 350.

We might even have bulk Hero lots coming soon.

Did the restock for Opus XII – Crystal Awakening. Tcg Player and eBay.

Also got a deck up for The Twelve. They look like they’ll be fun to play.

Had a 125 card order today, that took me a couple of hours to put together. Mainly because it was an eBay order, and you can’t download a pull sheet that is sorted like they do on TCG Player. Maybe you can, I just haven’t figured out how. If it was a TCG Player order, it would have taken me maybe 30 minutes.

It was a busy day with the kids today. Meet the Teachers, and Soccer Practice. They’re starting to do really well, and they enjoy playing soccer. School it’s 50/50 on that one.

Going to have more Bulk lots soon. They’re all halfway done at the moment.

Also, I found a case of Rebellion’s Call Prerelease Kits! It was a nice surprise. Now if they were Opus XI, that would have been a whole lot cooler. But, if you need one they should be up on the site, so go ahead and grab one.

After a long hot summer, the kids are finally back to school. Now we can start focusing on Trading Cards. It’s always a slowdown during the summer for me, just because I can’t get as much done as I can during the school season. It’s mostly cause I like hanging out with the little ones.

Have I ever mentioned Before Dawn?

It’s something I have been working on for 20 years. On and mostly off. I keep trying to restart it from the begining, the last couple of years I’ve been getting it going. It started off as an RPG, now it’s taking on many forms, and I have some plans for it. I’ll have more info on that soon. I won’t say much more about it … for now.

08/22

I’ve been working on Before Dawn all day, almost forgot to head to the Post Office because of it.

And, that was all I did. Yesterday and today, I probably spent a good 10 hours on it.

Oh, and Dreamlike Oceans was announced. Not today, a couple days ago. We already made our announcement on it. And, yes we are excited!

08/23

The kids have a game today. Got to wake up early, open up the restaurant, and then head to the game which is about 30 minutes away.

I got there, my kids were both starters. We started off the game good, and then well, we need a Goal Keeper. They play in quarters. The first quarter they had a kid that was great. The second quarter, the kid was day dreaming, playing with the net on the side, the third quarter same thing. Last quarter they put in someone else again. We ended up losing 5-0.

At least they’re having fun.

08/24

Sunday was quiet.

Slow day.

Ended up taking one of the kids out to play soccer.

Got some dinner, and finished the orders.

Also worked on Before Dawn a little bit.

Dreamlike Oceans

Square Enix gave us a look into the future. And, it means we’re going on vacation. Picture this a beach a dreamlike ocean, a daiquiri in your hand sitting under an umbrella, and Yuna performs the Sending as she guides the spirits of the dead to the Farplane.

Well something like that.

This is actually the first time that Final Fantasy X has graced the box art. And it might just be the best one yet. And, I’m not a big fan of Yuna, so that’s saying something. And, let’s not forget the Golden Signature. This one is Yuna’s second. And, I see this one commanding a high price in the future. (That’s just speculation.)

Scheduled for release on March 27, 2026. We’ll have a smaller set with 124 cards, and 38 Full Arts.

Along with Yuna, there are sample cards of Garnet, Edward, Lumina, Cloud, Cecil and Yoshikiri.

Looking at Yuna’s card, Maybe the Gullwings will come back. YRP! I can’t say that we’ve seen a good Rikku and Paine in quite some time. At least not one that I liked.
