This one slightly less vague. If you are exploring One Piece on our Collector App we just registered that fact with Zincy.

While 16 came and went, and 17 will be thin on the ground, we have gone balls out to secure what we can of 18 and 19.

For 19 we are hoping to secure the maximum allocation that any store can achieve. We committed to it.

What will it mean to our ‘locked in’ supporters. RRP… that’s what it means.

We’ll keep you posted.

Are you using our APP?

Do us a favour, if you are loving it why not let others know! The more our membership grows the better the features and the faster we can install them.

We hit the ground running and it's gone to our heads, we really think this app will soon be ahead of the others. Don't believe us? Use the three day free trial! Are building your binders and collection, SHOUT about it!

I want to see your AARDCORE BINDER PAGES, HOWEVER, you have to leave a comment as to WHY it's your favourite page!

I'll throw all who do into the Spinny Wheel of Prize Giving and a lucky winner will secure a 30th Celebration Booster on Release totally and utterly free... Yuppers.

Cheers

This just popped up. This is yer actual lad outside the Fenton store in 2010!

After a year in Hanley Indoor Market we moved here and spent 7 years having some of the best Organised Play ever... Fact.

Let it be a warning though, of what 15 more years of this nonsense has done to me... Look at that smile, that dark (er) hair, that Rolex...

Now I'm almost 60, fatter, Greyer and don't have a Rolex...

Were you a veteran of the Fenton days? Give me your best memory (preferably not one where I'm being awful to someone).

What a WEEK! Phew… However for the first time since I went to Iceland to freeze my nuts off I’m having a break.

I’m going to see the Total Eclipse, on a beach, in Palma.

So, the store will be closed until Friday 14th. This should give you all time to miss me terribly and to pine for my return.

I WILL do a pack opening on the beach…. WiFi permitting.

Thanks for an amazing week to finish on. Keep an eye on your mail for Zincy posts.

Threw a pile of boxes onto the shelves… just, y’know… some stuff.

Come see us early and you might tag a cheeky collection of pricey plastic.

Exodite is the big one of course. Dino-Elves… What’s not to like.

Dearest Customer: Any chance you could add Michi Binders to the app?

Confused Ed: What's a Michi Binder?

Customer Explains....

Tonight I added Michi Binders to the app... and extended art binder pages to the app... Both now in the hands of my testers and once approved they will be on the release schedule.

This why the Saucy Sue sails ever closer....

We will be firing out invites to pick up a FREE Pokemon 3oth Celebration Booster.

Invites will go out when I get back from my trip to see the Total Eclipse. I did not have to state that, I did it because I want you to know that I'm flying out to the see the Total Eclipse... from a beach...

Who is in with shot of getting these gratis packs?

Subscribers to the first TCG Collector APP created in Stoke, by a Stokie which rewards, you guess it, Stokies (or people who live really close to Stoke or have friends/family that can pick up from Stoke). I'll be sending out invites to claim a portion of £100 of packs.
