The shortage for Magnificent Monsters for release day tomorrow is bigger than we expected. This was due to 2 things. A wildfire in Reno that impacted our distributor. As well as a delay from Monami shipping.

Unfortunately we will be canceling our tournament tomorrow and rescheduling to Friday in Santa Maria at 6:30pm. Sorry for this inconvenience. If you pre-ordered and can wait until Friday to pick up, itll make our lives a tad easier. But we will have them here first come first serve tomorrow in both stores.

We have close to 600 additional boxes coming Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. I paid them to overnight it so we can get everything asap.

Preorders for Pokemon 30th go up NEXT Saturday the 5th. Please PLEASE read this entire post as it goes into detail about our release day and process. This will also include information which will be in effect for World 1-1 Games in Santa Maria as we are both doing the same process and prices.

The official release date for 30th is September 16th which is a Wednesday. The Pokemon Company is handling stores with a STRICT process of not allowing us to get our shipment even 1 day before release day. Typically, we recieve product for TCGs between 2-5 days prior to release. This gives us time to move product between stores, set aside pre-orders, inventory all our products from the shipment, etc. For 30th, we will not be getting any product until release day whenever UPS and FedEx drop off. This means we will NOT have it ready on release day when we open. Nor will we have it ready at a certain time as its a process to inventory everything.

Typically, Pokemon releases on a Friday morning. Myself and World 1-1, as well as most shops across the country, have decided to release our 30th on FRIDAY the 18th when we open. This keeps the regulars who are used to Friday morning releases able to still attend and it also gives us breathing time to organize everything to better serve you.

Central Coast Collectibles & World 1-1 have come together to agree on prices and limits that will match each other.

For preorders with us, we will have several pricing options available, based on first come first served. Preorders will go live September 5th at 6:30pm. This is also the same day of Trade Night in Santa Maria as well as the Central Coast Card Show in Santa Maria.

Strict limits are enforced on our preorders. Do NOT place multiple orders for the same item, otherwise our system will automatically cancel your orders and issue a refund.

Please keep in mind, on the official release day neither of our locations will have preorders available to pick up. We will not have product for sale on that day either. Everything will be available Friday when we open and the same goes for World 1-1 in the mall. We are doing all this to make this go as smooth as possible for us and you! Thanks

The Magnificent Monsters set releases in September. This is where the SERIALIZED CARDS start coming out. We have 780 boxes (not even joking) allocated so far with more possibly coming and will be doing boxes at msrp with pretty much no limit.

This set has been talked about for months as its the first time Yugioh is getting serialized collector cards. So many people are showing interest in chasing these grail cards or even just holding onto product that changed how the yugioh card market is.

Preorders will go live on Saturday at 6pm on our website for local pick up only. We will save plenty of product for our regular players for release day. We will have individual boxes as well as displays available.
