T-shirts have been a really slow seller for us over the years so we are trying something different, a rotating selection of shirts from Armor Class 10. We will bring in half a dozen different designs every quarter so will have new shirts on the rack 4 times a year. The current selection is on the wall in the little monsters room if you want to take a look.
there was a printing issue with DC comics releasing this week, specifically Absolute Batman #20, Absolute Martian Manhunter #11 and Barbara Gordon Breakout #1. All of our copies of Absolute Batman and Absolute Martian Manhunter and most of our copies of Barbara Gordon Breakout are damaged. This is a nationwide problem with most stores reporting damages on all of their copies of those particular books. We are waiting to see how DC Comics wants to handle this and will let you know when we do.
Games Workshop canceled our order of Terror on Devlan sets so we are working to find some for those customers that pre-ordered them. It may take longer and I doubt we will have them for release date but we will get them for those that pre-ordered.

Kill Team dives into a new warzone with Terror on Devlan, a highly anticipated boxed set packed with brand new miniatures for the Tyranids and Astra Militarum, including the long‑awaited return of the Red Terror, now in plastic for the first time. This expansion also introduces an exciting new way to play, letting customers add heavy reinforcements or stage dramatic boss encounters in their games.
Alongside it comes the new Kill Team: Nemesis Operatives book, which allows customers to create their own boss‑scale operatives, plus two individual teams previously available in Kill Team: Shadowhunt, the Murderwing and the Celestian Insidiants.
There are large numbers of fake Pokemon cards out there. We have a few on display in our case, just so you know what to look for. The easiest "tell" is an off center back on the card. A real Pokemon card will have the border the same width all the way around. The texture of "foil" cards is also a giveaway. If the filing ir really smooth, it is likely a fake. also, if the card text does not make sense, it is likely fake. We had a customer bring in a foil Charizard card this weekend and the text referred to burning the opponent's elves. Of course, there are no elves in Pokemon

the Welcome to Barovia blind bags from Sirius Dice contain thousands of different possible combinations. There are 55 different dice sets, 31 possible ability coins and 7 different dice bags making, according to my calculations, at least 11,965 possible sets in each blind bag. Each of the dice pouches bears a symbol derived from some aspect of Ravenloft.

Hummingbirds is a new boardgame from The OP. Designed by Jason Tremblay, the designer of Tacta, Hummingbirds is a resource and time management game. Players move their birds to perch on hidden sand timers, attempting to collect the most nectar. If you check the timer on which your bird is perched and it has run out, you gain a token. If the time is still running, you lose a token. You may think you know how long 30 seconds is but are you sure?

should you cash in your stocks and invest in Pokmeon Cards? Well, the value of Pokemon cards over the past year has increased 170% but Scott does not expect them to hold their value over the long term . Of course, Scott also counseled parents back in the late 1990s not to expect Pokemon cards to hold their value over the long term so take his advice with a grain of salt.
Lord the store would love to back the Castle Zagyg part 2 kickstarter but unfortuately it written compatible with Castles and Crusades, no 5E material included. We backed part one of the set which came out a couple of years ago and still have 4 of the 6 books on the shelf, so will pass on getting this one. However, if we get 4 people contacting us and putting a down payment on the set, we will back it. However the books do not release until march of 2027
due to us having too much Magic bulk and boardgames, we are pausing accepting any more for trade or purchase until our quantities sell down.We are also culling our back issue comics, in anticipation of new shelving in May, so are not accpting any more back issues, save for golden and silver age books.
