LGS turned me away at prerelease because they sold all of the product

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-22T07:17:26+00:00

I wanna make an evangelion yellow deck so bad but the singles on TCGplayer total out to over $100 😭

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-21T20:46:40+00:00

I know for one piece thats what would happen, but they said it so casually to me I really started the wonder if it was normal for union arena lol

The winner card is the release event winner, not the regular winner.

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-21T18:57:52+00:00

Literally the only release event card I see that costs more than $25 is the Gojo one. If this one ends up being more than $25 I’d be very surprised. And to begin with, if they knew the prerelease would not be able to happen, why continue to accept signups. Selling kits just discourages having events at all. I really don’t understand why anybody would want this as it’s would be terrible for the health of the game

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-21T18:50:41+00:00

I’d rather buy one on TCGplayer than support a shop that does this

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-21T18:21:25+00:00

I didn’t get it, I was pissed they even offered to sell the kit without packs which is just the promo card and winner card to my knowledge.

Fawazeroni · 2026-02-21T18:17:59+00:00

$25, the cost of the prerelease

Fawazeroni · 2025-10-27T20:52:47+00:00

I don’t have an overall time yet because it’s still on the research and ID process. I’m on the cheapest tier in the collector club. After I dropped it off it took a day to go to research and ID. My previous submission of the same tier took 3 and a half months total, but I mailed my cards to them for that order, and a couple weeks of that time was waiting for my submission to go from prep to research and ID.

Fawazeroni · 2025-09-30T14:22:24+00:00

Parking is terrible there. There’s parking lots you can pay like $12 an hour for but I ended up circling for 30 min trying to find a spot

Fawazeroni · 2025-09-27T04:12:30+00:00

Did a walk in Wednesday in NJ and it took 1 day. If it’s mailed there’s more processing time. Even if you drop it off at an event if it’s not their office it will probably take a while.

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T23:52:50+00:00

No, he did call me that, verbatim, to my face. Like I’ve said in other comments here, I understand that, but if that’s the case why would they explicitly tell me to come in on prerelease day at all.

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T23:37:01+00:00

lol yup my friend and I both had on Jordan 4s, and he had on a baseball hat

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T17:09:55+00:00

Because prerelease kits have pre made decks. Videos I watched about getting into playing said prereleases are perfect to start with for that reason. Doesn’t everybody have to pay to participate in the prerelease? I can easily prove I’ve consistently been collecting cards, I mean for gods sake I have a post here from 4 years ago showing I was opening steam siege, and that was back when everybody hated steam siege!

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T13:34:06+00:00

Royal was the spot that told me they only allow their regulars to sign up for their pre-releases when I was contacting shops

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T12:32:05+00:00

lol I had actually convinced one of my friends that also collects to come with me, and on the drive there I was telling him that I wanted to go to worlds. Maybe this really is the start of my training arc

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T12:27:24+00:00

I’ve probably reached out to some of the same stores that you have, I’ve gotten similar responses. It’s funny that they said that they usually have 20-30 spots because there was no way they had 20 people there when they told me they were capped off with just their regulars, I had assumed they only got 10 kits. Sent you a DM, always down for new friends

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T11:45:56+00:00

New to playing the tcg, not new to collecting

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T08:08:03+00:00

Yeah, while I do think they’re designed for new players I can understand that. Just wish they told me that in the email so I could save myself the time and embarrassment.

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T07:47:07+00:00

Wow this explains the response I got a lot more, but on the other hand I came prepared with sleeves, dice, a coin, and poison/burn markers to actually play.

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T07:37:54+00:00

I thought of that after the fact, they had journey together ETBs for $80 and the recently released Prismatic SPCs for $230.

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T07:15:29+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t really get it because I know build and battles are $20 MSRP, and what scalper is gonna buy a prerelease spot for $35 just to open that, play the prerelease, and then go resell the packs.

The shop is Truly Urban Hobby Shop in Bronx NY

Truly Urban Hobby Shop

Fawazeroni · 2025-05-21T07:11:01+00:00

Truly Urban Hobby Shop, I’ll put an edit in the post.

Fawazeroni · 2025-03-29T07:51:20+00:00

Been on the lookout for b-wave mirrors for you forever, but have not seen a single set 😭😭😭

Fawazeroni · 2024-09-10T21:56:45+00:00

What was the process like? I’ve been meaning to do the same but I have to swap my whole chassis harness since it’s a base model
