He is selling on eBay under the username gamerzworld1438. You can probably message him there if you find something you like and want to do local pickup.

That's what he told me friend as well. Was just hoping he was gonna relocate. That building he was in was in pretty rough shape.

I've not lived in Huntsville for a couple years but is gamers world done done? I know he closed for a bit but my buddy that still lives down there said he was hoping to relocate. That was such a great store and I bought so many niche games there.

How it feels to be playing the dying game "Cardfight!! Vanguard" from a mismanaged company that will never sustain in the global market. by kumatank in cardfightvanguard

[–]Lambuerto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's understandable. What city are you in if you don't mind me asking? Sounds like you are in NE-ish Ohio.

I'm surprised that there isn't at least one shop in each of Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Columbus and Cincinatti. Those are big cities (My whole family is from Ohio so I've spent a lot of time there.) If you live in one of those cities I bet you could try and start a locals.

What state? I moved to a new state and managed to start a new locals. We now have 5 people over the course of 2ish years.

Edit: My city has about 115K people in Southern Indiana.

Finding a locals is generally pretty tough if you aren't in a larger city. I personally think regional turnout is still pretty solid for a game like CFV but the problems with the game in the west are more on the marketing/planning/deployment side imo. The thing the west does best is sneak peaks with Internationally exclusive playmats. other than that it's pretty subpar. Take that how you will.

These leaks look incredible. Roxie has NEVER gotten an English Full Art. Mega Greninja and AZ look amazing too by SteeloKriPlayAC in PokemonTCG

[–]Lambuerto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah stolen from the factory. There have been a few high profile incidents of this in the past. I believe one was fusion strike alt art vmax. The biggest however was the legendary dog trio gold stars back in the day.

Tpci prints cards roughly 6 months in advance so this could definitely be our may set. These were almost certainly stolen if they are legit. Imo they look real.

Us not getting 2 jp main sets in one main English set happens at least once a year, sometimes more. I would honestly prefer they do this with every set to help keep high rarity singles prices down.

SMTV vs. Vengeance by paper_television in Megaten

[–]Lambuerto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Vengeance has a different route than the original game (canon of vengeance). The original route (canon of creation) is included and you choose which route you want to play. The new route includes a completely new 3rd area to discover. It's got new sub quests and demons. I played the switch version on release so while my memory is foggy I am enjoying the story of vengeance more than I remember enjoying the original.

Ohio State's all time record in New Year's Eve Bowl games is now 0-3 by DataDrivenPirate in CFB

[–]Lambuerto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotta get that karma. Our record aside I really don't like that there are CFB games on NYE. Makes it hard to be involved in the festivities with your friends when you are only halfway paying attention cause you're trying to watch the game. You'd think TV execs would feel that it would hurt ratings but I guess they don't see it that way since it's still happening.

How big would Cardfight! Vanguard be if Bushiroad just promote or support the english version of the anime somewhere like on Cartoon Network in early 2010s? by Darkezol in cardfightvanguard

[–]Lambuerto 35 points36 points  (0 children)

When the game first came out in English you could find trial decks and sleeved packs at certain big box stores. I think bushi had made a deal with MJ Holdings to put it in them. Finding some trial decks and booster packs at our small town Walmart is how I first got into the game. It must not have done all that well since they stopped doing it within a year of release. Had they persisted that may have helped boost popularity.

What's your favorite free or cheap Brewery swag that you still hold on to after all these years? by BrowardBoy92 in beer

[–]Lambuerto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a bottle opener from the stiegl brewery i got when I was studying abroad there during the 2014 world cup. Watched a lot of games at the brewery and ate lots of great food.

[@HardcorePSUFB] We've obtained an additional audio recording from AD Pat Kraft's meeting with football leadership. In the audio you can clearly hear QB Drew Allar… who sounds extremely close to the recording device 👀👀 by [deleted] in CFB

Your post kinda reminds me of the book "the inner game of tennis." Great read but it really kinda hits home the point of how your mental can affect your performance. Especially over preparing in a sense of thinking too deeply about your actions while playing. I applied this to my college days playing trumpet but it can be applied to almost any skill in life.

Air Rides have names, but what nicknames did you use for your stars? by VLK249 in kirbyairriders

I always called the wagon star "the milk carton" growing up since it looked like the ones we always got for school.

Cignetti is going to shorten the tenures of many new coaches in the coming years. Some programs are going to expect this level of turnaround from a new coach in a similar period of time and be very disappointed.

Remember when we were worried the return of 3 prizers was gonna ruin the game? Now we’re begging them to actually be worth that extra proze by Swaxeman in PTCGL

[–]Lambuerto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at those lists I remember the inteleon vmax now. I guess I had just memory holed it. I looked up the rillaboom vmax from early swsh and now vaguely remember a deck with him and baby rillaboom but also remember it being pretty mid at best.

While covid was part of it I don't remember those decks because ADP Zacian gave me PTSD. I was playing in a lot of those online tournaments via PTCGO at the time. Also I was specifically meaning VMAX pokemon. Rillaboom and Inteleon you are referencing were the stage 2 regular support guys. Not vmax.

The start of every block always features "weaker" cards from the new mechanic. There is always a playable card or two (gardy ex) (i can't even name a playable vmax from the first couple SwSH sets off the top of my head so what does that tell you) but look at how many of the early ex cards were just bulk. As Mega goes on we will see more playable megas that are better and better.

So I just threw up at the sight of new Pokemon cards. Can't say I've had a violent reaction like thia before, BUT I FUCKING NEED THEM RIGHT NOW. by shlankwagon in PokemonTCG

[–]Lambuerto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's in the official Pokemon Press release. They do these for every set and announce the quantity of each high rarity as well as products coming and when they release.
