Monday July 13 Update
First, our sidewalk is under construction - There is no possible way to line up down the sidewalk so everyone will have to wait in their automobiles.

Product shipment update - our trucks are scheduled to arrive Monday, but deliveries usually show up later in the day - please do not line up Monday or try to crowd the door area as we're not sure if we'll open to the public yet. We will update here as soon as we have more info.

We are open during construction! Please be mindful of caution tape and active work areas. You'll find we have a small moat between our new sidewalk and the road - avoid these sections of the sidewalk - For your safety, please be aware of caution tape & cones when entering/exiting the store.

In what may be one of the most puzzling decisions for one of the hottest trading card games on the market, it appears we're right back to The First Chapter release allocations.

Many game stores are once again being limited to around 36 booster boxes, with little to no opportunity for additional product on release. As a result, many stores simply won't have enough inventory to properly support their communities on release day.

Please note: We expect to have product limits at release, possibly limiting customers to only a handful of booster packs per person.

What is causing the product availability issue? We don't know.

Hopefully additional product becomes available shortly after release, but at this time we haven't been given any information explaining the limited allocations.
