KMC Restock Arriving Next Week - VTES Heirs to the Blood Ships on Feb. 3rd
We've had a number of customers asking about our depleted KMC deck protector stock this week. We've had a huge demand for KMC sleeves over the past week or two, and as a result our standard size stock is very low and we are almost completely out Yu-Gi-Oh size sleeves.
The good news is we have a large KMC restock shipment on the way that should arrive around the middle of next week. We expect to have every design available at that time, including the new Metal Rose sleeves and oversized Character Guard sleeves.
If you are looking to place a KMC order for deck protectors that we don't have currently, please email us at sales@potomacdist.com and we will contact you as soon as our restock arrives.
Vampire: The Eternal Struggle fans - Remember that the new Heirs to the Blood set is shipping next Wednesday, February 3rd. It's not too late to place your pre-order and have it shipped next week!
Booster boxes are $63, 10-box booster cases are $619, and starter boxes are $49. ¶ 5:08 PM 0 Comments

Yu-Gi-Oh Twilight Edition Arrives - L5R Celestial 15th Anniversary Corrections
Yesterday marked the official release date for Konami's new Yu-Gi-Oh set - Twilight Edition.
Each Twilight Edition box includes 10 packs. Each pack includes 1 Ultra Rare variant "Honest" card, plus 1 Light of Destruction booster pack, 1 Phantom Darkness booster pack, and 1 Tactical Evolution booster pack. The "Honest" card is one of the most powerful cards in recent history and was originally released as a Secret Rare card in the Light of Destruction set. It is a key card for Lightsworn deck types and also works well with any deck using Light Attribute monsters.
Boxes are available for $72.
AEG informed us earlier this week that there were a few minor mistakes in the initial information they released about the upcoming Legend of the Five Rings Celestial Edition 15th Anniversary set. Originally, Alderac had indicated that there would be 15 cards per booster pack, but there will actually be 12 cards per pack. The starter decks will contain 85 cards - not 84 cards as originally listed.
The Celestial Edition 15th Anniversary set includes not only a full reprint of Celestial Edition, but also additional rares in every pack featuring cards from prior Celestial legal expansions such as Glory of the Empire. As a special tribute to the 15 years of L5R, each pack also contains a bonus flashback card, featuring a famous card of yesteryear such as "Inheritance" or "Evil Portents" in the new L5R look.
Booster boxes can be pre-ordered now for $103 each. Booster cases contain 10 boxes and are $1019. Starter boxes (one of each of 9 different decks) are $73. ¶ 12:15 PM 0 Comments
