My god Elendril, step away from the tabletop and stop overthinking the future cards for a moment. Sounds like you need a break. I can only imagine all the crap you must go through in order to achieve the balance required for the game.

After trying the game this summer and seeing the number of pre-orders we had on our site we knew it was going to be hit. Something to keep in mind UDE had to have contingency plans ready or in motion upon release in case it was a hit otherwise new product wouldn't be arriving so soon after this initial release.

Found some at a Target in town and at 2 of 5 GameStop's, the other three where sold out fast. Unfourtanetly prices are up to $3.99 a pack for boosters and no ones heard anything from UDE as to when theyll be getting anymore after they sell out. WOuld be awsome if we could get a time frame as to when to expect more cards into local stores and online retailers :)

I think with any release of a new product, there is some risk. You can't just assume that because it's popular it will be an automatic hit. How many times have you seen popular franchises or companies try and branch out and completely fail miserably (Somehow XFL comes to mind...)?

I mean if the gameplay of the CCG was bad, it certainly wouldn't be as popular as it is. Even now...we still have to ask the question if any new expansions will make or break the game. How many times have you seen people leave CCGs because a certain expansion introduced cards that made the game too powerful or too easy to cheat?

So yeah, I think the guys at Upper Deck should have saw this coming, but I don't blame them for holding back a little at lauch because of the risk factor.

Well, the local EB Games and Gamestop's have sold out, but their prices remained the same. Some gamestores have raised their prices! I told them that I understand why they did it, but that I would not shop there when the newer stuff comes. I worked in a game store for over two years and raising prices may seem like a great idea, but the players remember... Then they start to wonder how honest you are being with the other prices in your store as well...

Just my 2 coppers....

:\ I'm still waiting for my first box. I've ordered two, and both people that I ordered from got the shaft from their distriubtors.

At this point, I'm hoping before GenCon, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's been a great success at my LGS, people play and buy cards like crazy. I hope they will continue to play it :)

The game itself is actually quite amazing. now if i could only get my hands on some cards. No where has it. Include your guys own online store. And the fact that starter decks dont even make a complete deck is alittle annoying. it took me 4 starters, and 2 boosters to make 2 so-so working decks. I really wanna buy more cards but im not paying 150-200$ for a booster box off Gold farmers on Ebay.

LOL Can we get these distributed to the stores so we who wanna play the game (as well as get a chance at the turtle mount) Can actually buy your product?

PS the only way i got what i did was from the Bliz store :-(
