  Pre-Selling Yu-Gi-Oh Warriors' Strike - WoW Scourgewar Bundle On Sale - Pre-Selling WoW Minis Souls of Vengeance Deluxe Starters We've added several new pre-sale items to our gaming list this week.

  Spotlight On Tough-To-Find Restocks We've restocked quite a few older, out-of-print or harder-to-find items over the past week or so. We wanted to shine a spotlight on just a few of them that you might be interested in...


Nightmare Before Christmas
Booster Box....$84

NECA produced this game back in 2005. With only one expansion - Christmastown, which was released in 2006 - the lifespan of the game was pretty short. That's probably why these boxes are so tough to find these days. The Nightmare Before Christmas property still has quite a following, so we won't be surprised if these disappear quickly.

Star Wars Reflections 3
Booster Box.....$294

The third and final installment of Decipher's popular Reflections sets has generally been the toughest (and most expensive) to track down. It was released in November 2001 just before Decipher stopped producing the Star Wars CCG. Like the other sets produced late that year that are now very tough to find (Theed Palace and Coruscant), Reflections 3's print run was probably much smaller than what Decipher had made previously.

RIFTS Booster Box.....$23
Earlier this year we found some RIFTS boosters for the first time in nearly six years. When we sold out, we figured it might be six more years before we tracked down more. But as luck would have it, we've already managed to do that. This game was produced by Precendence Entertainment (the same company that brought us the Babylon 5, Wheel of Time, and Tomb Raider CCGs) back in 2001. Not long after RIFTS got off the ground, Precedence ceased to exist, so the base set was the only one ever produced. And while it is tough to find these boxes, they are still quite a deal at less than $1 per booster pack. We've also got RIFTS starter boxes for just $19!  ¶ 4:35 PM 0 Comments

  WoW Minis Souls of Vengeance Delayed We were informed today that Upper Deck's upcoming World of Warcraft Miniatures expansion, Souls of Vengeance, has been delayed. We originally expected Souls of Vengeance to arrive by the end of August. We now expect to ship it by October 18th. We are still accepting pre-orders for booster cases ($179), half-cases ($94), and individual packs ($14).  ¶ 5:13 PM 0 Comments

  Battle Spirits Launches - Kiss 360 In Stock - Razor Ink Vault On Sale - Shipping Next Week: Yugioh Tins & Pokemon Supreme Victors Bandai's new Battle Spirits: Call of the Core game was released today. Battle Spirits is a fantasy game where players attempt to master the use of their core to summon spirits from different lands: Ruby red cores from the Land of War ruled by dragons, Amethyst purple cores from the Land of Undead ruled by zombies and evil snakes, Emerald green cores from the Land of Trees inhabited by seekers of the World Tree, and White diamond cores from the Land of Ice ruled by masters of machines. The game introduces unique core mechanics which create immediate conflicts right from the start of the game. Each booster pack includes 6 commons, 2 uncommons, and 1 of 3 rare types - Rare (3:4 packs), Master Rare (1:5 packs), X-Rare (1: 23 packs).

There are two starter deck configurations (40-card Emerald/Ruby deck and 40-card Diamond/Amethyst deck). All cards are exclusive to starter decks and aren't found in boosters. Each deck includes a play mat and special core tokens.

All pre-orders have been shipped!

We have booster boxes available for $57 and starter boxes for $51.

The new Kiss 360 Degrees trading cards from Press Pass also arrived this week. We sold out of this product well before its release, but we've picked up a small quantity of boxes from our secondary sources that we now have in stock. Like the Kiss Ikons set that Press Pass produced earlier this year, Kiss 360 is sold out at the manufacturer and in great demand.

The set features Rock Star Relics (authentic memorabilia worn by the band), KISSIGNATURES (autographs from Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter), a 6-card Transformation lenticular card set, a 12-card Snapshots acetate insert set, and a 90 card base set with 8 subsets.

---

We are taking pre-orders for another non-sport set that looks like it may garner a lot of interest in the coming months. Razor Collectibles will be releasing 2009 Razor Ink Vault in September. Each box will include 3 autograph cards and 1 factory sealed entertainment trading card box from a wide range of Inkworks products and other properties. Included are Twilight, Buffy Series 1, Family Guy Season 1, Charmed Season 1, and many more. We haven't seen a product quite like this before. Boxes are just $45. Cases (20 boxes) are $869.

---

There are a handful of new products arriving within the next week to ten days. Next week we expect to ship Yu-Gi-Oh Series 1 Collectible Tins and Pokemon Supreme Victors boosters and starters.
