FROM THE VAULT (FTV) 20 Arrives August 23!

ftv-20

** PLEASE READ **

Hello!

Our FTV20 shipment is expected to arrives this August 23, 2013 and we wil be selling it for the Canadian MSRP! For those of you who are not familiar with this product, FTV is a premium gift set that comes out once a year (at the end of Summer) and has some of the best cards ever printed- and a special preview card for the set coming out later in the Fall!

But there’s a problem: Wizards Of The Coast (WOTC) has made this an EXTREMELY rare item. Despite what people think, I cannot ask WOTC for the quantity that I need, they just give me what’s called an “Allocation.” This Allocation isn’t enough for everyone here- not even close. So, what’re we going to do???

As always with limited release items, we NEVER take preorders or sell them first-come, first-serve. NEVER. That would be a disservice to all of those people who come here and support me. Our entire shipment will be distributed among all those people who:

1. Play In Our Prerelease, Launch, Game Day, AND POSTrelease events

2. Place Preorders For Magic Boosters Box Whenever A New Set Is Released

3. Make All Of Their Other Purchases Here

Unfortunately, if you don’t meet all 3 of the above criteria, then I’m very sorry but I can’t help you. If you just started playing Magic here in say Dragon’s Maze, but weren’t here for the other sets that were released before the previous FTV, then I’m very sorry again but I won’t have a FTV20 for you. If you only play in our FREE FNM events or play/order product on an irregular basis, I’m sorry but there are too many people that meet the above requirement that are ahead of you on our list. If you purchase Warhammer or Warmachine here and only recently started playing Magic (Dragon’s Maze), I do appreciate your support I cannot ignore the purchases of others who have done everything I’ve asked and more.

This is not meant to read as a slight to anyone, nor is it meant to create a distinction or class structure among our customer base. The reality is: we don’t have enough to go around, so we’re going to make sure the people that have gone out of their way to support me (see #1, 2, and 3) get product so they will continue to come back and do so. It’s just that simple- there is no malice in what I’m doing- I’m trying my best to make sure our doors stay open and not upset anyone that I do not have to.

Thank you for reading.

Modern Masters Is Here!

Modern Masters is here!

Our plan is:

1. Host any many Modern Master ($34) Booster Drafts as we can! We’ll post our schedule soon!

UPDATE: With our supply starting to dwindle and prices for boxes soaring on eBay and around town, we’ve decided to raise our entry fee to $40 + GST. That prices includes three packs to draft with and then one pack that goes into the prize pool (40-50% = 1st place, 20-25% = 2nd place, 10-15% = 3rd and 4th, and 0-10% = random. Keep in mind these are approximations depending on how many people enter our event).

 

2. Sell our remaining shipment to those who’ve supported us by playing in our Prerelease events and making all of their purchases here! If you’re one of those people, please send me a message phone (780-459-9548), email ([email protected]), or FaceBook PM as soon as you can! We’re running out of stock!

Thanks and have a great week!

Eldar Launch Delay!

 

Hello!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the mild weather!
I have some bad news for you. =(
First, I am so sorry but I will not be in town for the Eldar LAUNCH scheduled for this weekend (June 1)! I booked a flight and purchased an event pass in March 2013 for a convention called Lock And Load. I honestly had no idea that GW was going to relaunch the Eldar until 7 days ago when my sales rep sent me a solicitation. Please understand that this was NOT intentional and NOT a slight nor was it a snub to you or the 40K community! I hired a young fellow in March/April, but things were not progressing well and had to fire him. I am so sorry I couldn’t make this work for you all! I will be making changes when I get back to avoid anything even remotely close to this.
Second, GW is allocating my initial order- meaning, I will NOT be able to fill all of the preorders that were placed in the last 7 days. Know that this is not me being malicious or selflish- I will not have enough product because GW is portioning out all Product Launches going forward. I will be contacting everyone that placed a preorder after I write this post, and confirming which items I can get for them, but in truth the only thing that I may have to sell (if I were here on the weekend) are a couple codicies and maybe a repack. All of the “new” models are currently spoken for. There is no solid date for when I will have more “new” releases and there are no solid numbers that I (or GW) can guarantee either. The only timeline I have is “3 weeks” which my sales rep said is when she MAY have more for me.
This is not something that is localized to just me and my business. ALL independent retailers that carry GW product will be allocated a portion of GW’s new releases starting immediately (until they change their business model). It is going to be difficult for you to find a place that doesn’t have their allocation already spoken for and I hope no one gets gouged online by high prices.
I’m not here to hurt anyone. Nor do I want to anger or upset any of you. Please give me chance to work all of this out for you and make it up to you. If you want me to cancel your preorder and get you your money back, I will completely understand.
I don’t have any ill will towards GW- I don’t hate them at all. Product allocations are a sign of strength- they can’t produce enough models to meet the incredible demand they have for their game! Every manufacturer on the planet wishes they had this problem! If we can just stay together, we can get through this!
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you all soon!

Very sorry for lack of notice, I had hired a young person, but we both decided it wasn’t working out. So, I hope you can forgive me and either delay your next visit until Tuesday, June 4 (when I get back) or come by early (I’m here on Tuesday and Wednesday)!
