Just making sure you piggly wigglies didn't forget our epic event coming up this weekend!

In case you did, I'm talking about MINICON! Presented by Heresy Roadshow, these three days will bring multiple systems together under one roof, with each game featuring its own campaign, organizers, tables, and evolving story. Your games matter — victories, defeats, and decisions throughout the weekend will shape what happens next! Tickets are $65 for the entire weekend.

That said, for any of you carnivores only interested in getting a hold of that sweet cheek meat, we're offering tickets at only $25 per plate!

Interested now? I thought so.

For more info or to purchase a ticket, click the link below or give us a call! We can't wait to see you there!

DAY 23 — TOMORROW IS THE LAST ONE!

We’re officially on Day 23 of our Pokémon advent-style pack opening!

One more Poké Ball.
One more number
One more mystery pack.

And then… THE BIG DAY.

Tomorrow is Day 24, and after that we’re celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary by opening A WHOLE BUNCH OF PACKS!

After 23 days of letting a claw machine decide our fate, we’re not sure we’re emotionally prepared for tomorrow.

Day 23… let’s see what we’ve got!

DAY 22 — THE FINAL STRETCH!

22 DAYS DOWN.

We are SO close to the big Pokémon 30th anniversary celebration!

At this point, we have a complicated relationship with this claw machine.

It picks the ball.
The ball picks the number.
We open the pack.
We hope for something shiny.

And then on the 16th… IT’S CHAOS.

We’re opening A BUNCH of packs to celebrate the 30th anniversary!

But first… Day 22. WHAT’D WE GET?!

09/13/2026

DAY 21 — THREE WEEKS OF POKÉMON!

We’ve officially made it 21 days into our Pokémon advent-style pack opening!

That means only a couple DAYS until the big celebration!

It picks the ball.
The ball picks the pack.
We open whatever it gives us.

And then on the 16th… WE GO BIG.

We’re opening A BUNCH of Pokémon packs to celebrate the 30th anniversary!

Day 21 — let’s see what fate has in store!

ANSWER THE BATTLE CRY!

Every year, The Battle Standard celebrates the art of miniature modeling with our BATTLE CRY Hobby Competition!

Whether you’re a master painter, a kitbash wizard, or a conversion fanatic, Battle Cry is your chance to put your skills on display and compete with fellow hobbyists.

Painting
Kitbash
Conversion

And, of course, there’s more than bragging rights at stake…

The winners will have the honor of taking home the BATTLE CRY trophy — a one-of-a-kind sculpted bust of our very own mascot and standard bearer, Wallace, striking the traditional BATTLE CRY pose.

Your miniature. Your creativity. Your craft.

Do you have what it takes to claim the Battle Cry?

Battle Cry Hobby Competition — at MiniCon

DAY 20 — WE’RE IN THE FINAL FEW DAYS

TWENTY DAYS DOWN.

Only 4 days until the big Pokémon 30th anniversary celebration!

After yesterday’s unexpected Magic: The Gathering detour…
we’re BACK where we belong.

The claw picks the ball.
The number picks the pack.
We open it.
We pray for the pull.

And on the 16th?

We’re going FULL SEND.

A whole bunch of packs. One giant celebration. And hopefully some VERY good pulls.

Day 20… SHOW US SOMETHING GOOD.

BATTLE CRY 2026 FEATURED CATEGORY: JOHN BLANCHE GRIMDARK

This year, we’re celebrating the weird, wild, gritty, and wonderfully grimdark world of John Blanche!

Grimdark entries only!
TOP 3 WILL EACH RECEIVE A FULL-SIZE TROPHY!

We’re looking for models inspired by the classic grimdark style of the legendary John Blanche — bold colors, expressive brushwork, strange characters, gritty details, and all the beautiful weirdness that makes grimdark what it is.

Think outside the box. Get weird. Get grimdark. Make it Blanche.

DAY 19 — PLOT TWIST?!

We’ve been opening Pokémon packs for 19 days straight…

So naturally, today the claw decided to open MAGIC: THE GATHERING.

The claw machine picked the number.
The plan was Pokémon.
Somehow… we ended up with Magic.

Don’t worry, Pokémon fans — we’re still counting down!

A few more DAYS until the 30th anniversary!
And on the 16th, we’re opening A BUNCH of Pokémon packs to celebrate!

But today… Magic has entered the chat.

09/10/2026

DAY 18 — HERE WE GO!

We’re officially 18 days into our Pokémon advent-style pack opening!

That means…

The claw machine still has control of our destiny.
We’re still opening whatever it tells us to.
And we’re getting VERY close to the big celebration!

On the 16th, we’re celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary by opening A BUNCH of packs!

But today?

Day 18. What did the claw choose?!

09/09/2026

DAY 17 — THE COUNTDOWN IS GETTING REAL!

We’re officially on Day 17 of our Pokémon advent-style pack opening!

The claw picks the ball.
The ball picks the number.
The number picks the pack.

17 days down.

We’re getting SO close to the big 30th anniversary celebration… and you already know we’re going to celebrate with A LOT of packs!

But first… what did the claw choose for Day 17?
