Naruto Fateful Reunion In Stock - L5R Celestial Edition Price Increase Coming Soon - UFC Round 2 Update Customers looking for the latest Naruto release, Fateful Reunion, will be happy to know that we just received a shipment of blister boxes. Blister boxes include 15 booster packs mounted on cardboard for retail display purposes. Boxes are $49 each. Fateful Reunion has been so tough to find since its release just two weeks ago that we don't expect these boxes to last long.

The new Legend of the Five Rings base set, Celestial Edition, is scheduled to arrive on June 22nd. If you are planning to place a pre-order, please do so by Tuesday, June 2nd. We will be raising our booster box and booster case prices that day. Booster boxes are just $77 each currently, while 10-box cases are $759. Starter boxes can be pre-ordered for $68 each.

We've had a number of customers asking us about the upcoming UFC Round 2 trading card set that Topps plans to release in July. Due to the overwhelming success of the first series, there is a huge demand for this product. Our suppliers can't guarantee how much product we'll be able to get, but we do hope to have boxes available when the product releases. Email us at sales@potomacdist.com or click here and enter your email address to be notified when we have Round 2 boxes available to order.

Although it was a short week due to the Memorial Day holiday, it was a busy one here at Potomac Distribution. This week marked the arrival of two hot products - Vampire: TES Ebony Kingdom boosters and Yu-Gi-Oh Gold Series 2 boosters. We've got a limited amount of both products still in stock and ready to ship to you on Monday.

Have a great weekend!  ¶ 5:45 PM 0 Comments

  Pre-Selling WoW Fields of Honor & Death Knight Deluxe Starters - Fields of Honor Loot Cards Detailed! Upper Deck has posted some new information on the loot cards for its upcoming World of Warcraft Fields of Honor expansion.

Path of Cenarius is the ultra-common loot card that allows your character to leave a path of flowers and greenery in your wake.








The uncommon loot card is the Piñata. It allows your character to set up an Ogre Piñata on a portable tree. Your character can then use a weapon or magic to attack it until it explodes and releases candy gumballs. Eating the gumballs buffs your character so that it chews gum and blows an occasional bubble.





And finally, previous sets have included cards that allowed your character to ride a tiger, a turtle, or a rocket. Fields of Honor tops all of those with the rare El Pollo Grande loot card. Your character will be the envy of all while riding this large magic rooster!






We are accepting pre-orders for Fields of Honor boosters now. Booster boxes are just $61 each! Cases (12 boxes) are only $719. Fields of Honor is expected to arrive on June 30th.

Also available for pre-order are Death Knight Deluxe Starter boxes. Each box includes 6 packs. Each pack includes a 36-card Death Knight preconstructed deck (which includes 3 Ghoul token cards), a 17-card Death Knight pack (which includes 1 new hero and 16 exclusive cards to enhance the Death Knight Class), and a 33-card Dark Portal preconstructed deck. Death Knight Deluxe Starter boxes are just $86! They are expected to arrive by June 17th.  ¶ 10:20 AM 0 Comments
