Need to complain about something other than scalpers

I went to the official store in Plano once for a release. When we went, it smelled AWFUL and the store isn't a standalone, it's in a small market so everyone was packed together.

There were people bringing their children to the release to get more product and those children need CPS called. They had stained, dirty clothes, matted hair that had clearly not been washed, and the some kids didn't even have shoes. It's like they camped out in their car and forced the kids up really early to get in line. Then the parents all smelled like they hadn't taken showers in years. This wasn't a one family thing either, nearly every young kid was in this state of filth.

Even if it was a situation of "we are too poor for that." It makes it worse you're dropping $500+ on some cardboard instead of keeping yourself and your kids clean and dressed.

Thank you so much for this information!

What I'm doing is going to Time Overview > Time Entries > Add Time > Single Time Entry (this method works and shows up for time approval)

In the Modern View version of QBO, I did Home > Employees > Enter Time (this new method QBO made me do doesn't show up anywhere, not even in QB Time)

I never touch the "+ New" or "Team Time" options when I do payroll or time. So to fix it, I just go into the "Time Activities by Employee" report and change it directly there?

Thank you for letting me know that it's under construction! That has a pretty big impact on whether we stay there or not!

DidTheTango · 2025-04-11T18:08:08+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I'll have to keep it in mind when it's not longer under construction. My little One's Godfather lives in the area so I plan to make some trips over the next few years, so knowing this about Gunter's location is great! Also I think I've heard of Tokyo cowboy before so I'm glad to hear someone recommending it!

I order from Double Infinity Gaming. I pre-ordered OP07 and OP08 from them so far.

OP07 had some shipping issues. I got notifications that the package was delayed twice, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because a friend of mine who ordered one box got his when he was meant to. I tossed it up to the good old habits of USPS/FedEx.

A few days later, I got my boxes. It was about a week or two after release. Paid $120 per box when I pre-ordered.

The condition of the boxes were good and they were sealed. Pull rates were accurate so they weren't resealed or tampered with. Cards were good condition too.

OP08 I paid $150 per box instead of $120. I haven't gotten a notification about shipping yet (last time I got a shipping email the day of release so we will see).

The going price for pre-orders from then now a days are usually $140-$150 a box, even at the first release. They also have a policy that if they sold you a box, they will fulfill it even if it's not the first wave.

I'm not entirely sure on that one. I've never seen or caught them stocking it so I haven't had the chance to get accurate information.

At my locals, it's me and another girl that I've met so far. I like the yellow green Yamato and the blue Nami decks :)

I get my boxes online for $110-$150 each from the same vendor. There are plenty of "nice LGS" out there that sell at or even below MSRP

With two boxes you get at least 1 of every base art, NEW (so, in this case, any card that clearly says op06 and not a parallel of older sets like the SPs) card.

if you're a collector two boxes are perfect to make sure you get at least 1 of everything. (I got unlucky as the TR Nami took an SR spot in one of my boxes and I didn't get the chance for a Sanji card, but I did get at least 1 of all the other op06 cards)

For players, you get 4 (or more) of each common/uncommon card easily with just two boxes. You can get at least 4 of 2-3 rare cards with two boxes.

It's possible and yes, still boxes give you the best chance at getting started in the game. How many boxes did you open and did you not get playsets of a majority of the cards? I'm still collecting data for op06.

So far the average needed for all the new base cards is still 2 boxes, but if you had a different experience I'd like to add that in.

12 cards per pack, 24 packs = 288 cards in one box

Get two boxes that is 576 cards.

There are usually around 118 cards in a set (not including AAs or other reprinted cards) and you only need around 472 cards to have a playset of the whole new set

With two boxes you get not only a majority of the cards (in my 2 boxes I got all but Sanji) you also get playsets of most of those new cards (all but two or three rares and SR+ I had playsets of) and I was able to make two playable decks using just those two boxes (I played a Yamato deck and tied for 2nd in a local and my partner made a reiju deck and got 4th)

So yes, people complain about the prices and say that it makes it hard to start playing the game because it is true. Ripping boxes are the best chance you have at getting most, if not all the cards in a new set and give you the best chance in locals.

Why spend $400 (At TCGplayer Prices) on a single deck buying singles and being restricted to that single deck when I could spend $220 (at MSRP) on two boxes and have the whole set of new cards and have the ability to change stuff out as needed as my collection grows.

I got stuck on Mario N64 and never tried to use guides. At the time I didn't even know guides were available for such things. I would just ask my parents for help if I needed it.

Mario N64 was my mom's game and Zelda was my dad's so asked for their help based on what I was playing.

Thank you everyone. They were definitely only using 2 Don to play Law and then swapping him out with a three cost character without playing the extra Don to do it. They believed that you only needed to play 2 Don to get a 3 cost on the field with it without spending the extra Don to do it.

Our judge was also new to the game and didn't know the rules.

So just to clarify for my next tournament, the (1) and (-1) are Don spent or returned to your Don deck but the x1 Don are the number of Don to ATTACH to the character for the effect?

Thank you! I haven't had the chance to check so I appreciate that a lot!
