So while I don't usually post official preorders until my numbers are locked in at Distro and this is going a ways out I do want to get an early headcount on want number for the Star Trek set. Prerelease is November 6th so this is working well in advance but given universes beyond has a contentious reception locally I want to customize my order closer to demand. Prices are looking like, but not finalized as:

MTG Star Trek Prerelease -- $55
MTG Star Trek Beginner Box -- $45
MTG Star Trek Bundle $100
MTG Star Trek Special/Beam Me Up Bundle -- $160
MTG Star Trek Commander Deck Set $380
MTG Star Trek Play Booster Box $240
MTG Star Trek Collector Booster Box $680
MTG Star Trek Draft Night -- $180
MTG Star Trek Scene Box -- $55 each, $100 for the pair

Commander decks are being prioritized in orders as a set. They're looking to be around $100 individually, prices aren't playing nice with the crossover tax. Individual decks will fluctuate with demand however as we always have one that is oversold and some that are under so I am reluctant to confirm individual deck prices until closer to release.

Most of what's come in lately has been special orders but Orks got their 11th edition debut (codex quickly sold out) and DND has new literature by way of the Arcana Unleashed books. Digimon BT-26 and LM-08 also came in but I got cleaned out pretty quick by the regulars.

We will be CLOSED for the labour day holiday tomorrow if only to give me more time to crunch tasks without juggling in-store responsibilities.

Bit late getting to posting this, that's what we in the industry call a 'whoopsiedoodle'. Necromunda gets more updates with House Escher and the Goliaths first up for book refreshes accompanying new squad boxes. Full details at:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/zseghuho/sunday-preview-goliath-vs-escher-showdown/
As usual orders are due by Tuesday/tomorrow, I'll try to be available to get them as long as I can but the form needs to be submitted by 6:30 PM. Release date on these is September 19th.

Hectic weekend with the back to back One Piece OP-17 release events! Since a couple of people have wondered we did sell out fully there and though we hope to continue to grow our Bandai rank in that department it does look like we will continue to be extremely tight on supply compared to demand for at least three more releases similar to how Pokemon has been technically but effectively unavailable.

It's been a thousand years but we have a good non-UB restock of Magic finally with some Lorwyn Eclipsed coming back for the first time since the set's release, supported by more Edge and Dragonstorm. We also continue to be spoiled with Riftbound: Vendetta, and good thing too because we're applying to be an OP store.
Bit late to announcing the Starcraft release as we do have a single box each of the 2-player Starter set and Protoss starter sets, though unfortunately the core box had a good bump in its backside during transit. It looks like most of the range is still in stock to order more though if there is interest.

The time has come for me to make the official Fractured Reality post with all our numbers confirmed. Some people have asked me if tariffs will affect us and I can't say until things are officially enacted about what will happen so these are the prices we're working with for now and we'll just have to update as the situation with syphilis Hi**er down south unfolds.

Prerelease date is September 25th and we have our usual events scheduled for that Friday and Saturday at 5 and 3 pm respectively. 16 person capacities so RSVP as the mood strikes so we can track our materials and seating though there will also be extra prerelease kits for sale as usual. Secret Lair bundles, as with most special bundles, arrive in a second wave a few weeks later.

PRERELEASE -- $45
BOOSTER BOX -- $200
COLLECTOR BOOSTER BOX -- $460
BUNDLE -- $80
SECRET LAIR BUNDLE -- $140
DRAFT NIGHT -- $130
COMMANDER DECK -- $70 (Just the one this time around)

So I was holding off on a full official announcement until the other party was ready, but several people have approached me after seeing my location being listed for rent in November. Unlike the last time that happened this one isn’t a scam. While it hasn’t been a secret per se and a lot of people knew this was coming already, it’s time to publicly confess...WE’RE MOVING!

If you’ve been in King St variety recently and wondered why the place feels so empty it isn’t a coincidence. With my purchase of the building as a new and permanent home for Arkain Mr. and Mrs. Lee have been looking to make their goods move as they prepare for retirement next month. He did mention a sale on DVDs but I don’t want to give the wrong prices in case I’m remembering wrong so might be worth checking out what’s on the got-to-go slate.

It’s going to be a lot going on with not a lot of time or capital to get it on with so some of our improvements will need to be grown into at the new store but you can look forward to twice as much gaming space, more events, more stock, and maybe even being open Wednesdays(pending a trial run). Tentatively looking to take 3 days closed before reopening there October 30th but there will be lots of signage and notice posted in advance.

Thank you to everyone who has kept with us and supported us on our journey so far. We’ll be having an event/sale as usual for our third anniversary at the beginning of December but I might not get around to posting official details until I’ve settled into the new space.

Emergency special broadcast regarding ONE PIECE PRERELEASE EVENTS this weekend! Despite this (I had hoped) pretty clear disclaimer on the event it seems we have new people who are signing in last minute with the expectation of showing up. I also went back to the events where they are posted on fb, our website, and discord to add a similar warning that the event is full. I don't know how we got scheduled for two 32 person events but we do not have the allocations to support that, and for whatever reason I was not able to close tcg+ applications before people jumped in and I am not able to edit the event with pending uncancellable applications.

So to reiterate, if you are not one of the people who reached out and spoke to us and actually got on the attendance list you will NOT be playing. We are full with a line up for openings already. Sorry for the confusion to anyone who saw our applications are open but I literally can't shut them off, and I will continue to push notification unfamiliar names inside the app to hopefully warn anyone from making a wasted trip.

So Leder Games never actually gave a firm release date on the new Root expansion that I can find but allegedly it was supposed to be between mid-late August so I'm just going to go ahead and put it all out now. We also have an obnoxiously hefty restock of Prismatic Defender holographic sleeves leaving me in a bit of a crisis of space with our auxiliary gaming table being totally packed with accessories now. 15 colours to choose from with 5 different patterns of inner perfect fit.

PREORDERS: SWU's newest set Homelands is up for preorder and I'll be scheduling its prerelease and our store showdown for Ashes imminently. The next two Riftbound sets, Radiance and Legacy, are also up for preorder. We've had a little traction taking hold with Riftbound but not enough to warrant a high volume order so if you're looking to get some let me know so I can order accordingly. I also have my Reality Fracture numbers confirmed and will be doing a full breakdown preorder post for that soon.
