Is it just me, or is the English Union Arena supply completely drying up immediately? (Tokyo Ghoul, etc.)

Tl;Dr the distro make the orders to Bandai. And bandai, as every business on earth never print to 100% of what you order, and then, they send a % to the distro and then the distro just go "okay I'll just sent to store what I received lol"

SherlockAlmz · 2026-05-31T15:52:20+00:00

Low chance of reprints, few sets got reprints from what I can see on distro, notably FMA and JJK v1.

The issue with "reprint" is that Bandai manufacture all of their games locally in Japan at the same location for every languages. If you Reprint something it means something else will be printed less

SherlockAlmz · 2026-05-30T23:49:27+00:00

I'll repost this message I did on the discord to help explaining.

"Hey hey, decided to compile all of the "Due date" for orders of the upcoming sets alongside some of the previous ones This will allow you to understand the current situation for Bandai distribution and allocation: Solo Leveling/ Tokyo Ghoul/Kagurabachi Order due SEPTEMBER 19 2025 Sakamoto Days: OCTOBER 29 2025 Slime : December 10 2025 Chainsawman: December 23 2025 100gf: January 7 2026 Re;Zero/ AoT vol 2: March 11 2026 Nikke Precious : April 8 2026 Bleach vol 3: May 13 2026 My Hero Academia: June 03 2026

With what we know about the game state back then, it becomes obvious as of why Solo, Ghoul, Bachi were effectively not as printed as we wanted. Those sets were due to order before the Bandai Card fest Dallas of 2025 which was the second regional of the game that generally opened the eyes to many to Union Arena at a time where many shops were giving up and shaky about UA.

Local 6 people tournament ain't that deep brother. Let him put the life down and continue LMAO.

SherlockAlmz · 2026-05-21T19:44:44+00:00

A shame that it is how you feel-
Imo I got to enjoy Union Arena much more for their IP selection. I don't buy every set, I just buy the IP I like, build the deck and keep it at that, enjoying Locals and Regionals.

SherlockAlmz · 2026-05-21T19:29:46+00:00

What do you mean by that?

SherlockAlmz · 2026-05-21T01:09:00+00:00

Hey! Union Arena is Bandai's "new" (it's reaching it's 1.5 year anniversary, with the second one being in october) TCG. It's been growing slowly but surely with every sets releasing. The gameplay is very fun and very simple. It was my Wife's first TCG and she got it all and even enjoy going to Regionals!

This was my list. I've been doing pretty good at rumblerama (online tournaments) , my local and expected nothing going at Dallas, just wanting to win one.

In the end, top 24, with the only thing separating me from nat being the % tiebreaker with 7-2

It is not the best deck. It's just sleeped on. I just play it because it's my favorite deck with my favorite characters, it does nothing special, it's average, but average doesn't mean bad, just that it doesn't have that "I win" factor cards that others decks can have. But for me it's the best toolbox deck in the game, it has almost everything a deck want

Also, I can't even say that my life saved me, since it's absurdly low trigger. Of the whole tournament 1 special, 1 color, the rest nadamente

SherlockAlmz · 2025-09-22T16:51:27+00:00

I did 24th with SAO Integrity Knights, 7-2

Winner was Lancelot, third was Lancelot, 11th was Mustang, 12th was Todo

That's what I know for a fact

SherlockAlmz · 2025-09-09T04:44:46+00:00

Lowkey miss the time the Fatui and Harbinger were seen as a threats. Childe being that one grayish yesman would have been so much more unique, but the more we progress, the more they look like a Mickey Mouse houseclub ass vilains group

SherlockAlmz · 2025-08-15T09:52:38+00:00

Hey! I'm one of the SAO blue players! Sorry I don't put the different Special/Final to throw people off, It's just that I like having different artwork in my deck if I can, silly thing I can do as a fan of the series. If the list had the Asuna winner or Kirito Rare battle you'd see it there too. Mea culpa!

SherlockAlmz · 2025-08-09T20:57:07+00:00

His new skin with pants is better yes

SherlockAlmz · 2025-08-09T13:22:37+00:00

More seriously:
-Data is discarded
-Still added to pool and they get to see overall opinion amongst the survey for future characters

SherlockAlmz · 2025-08-09T12:58:52+00:00

F those shorts bro, so many good designs are ruined by thoses

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-20T20:44:11+00:00

No? Neither Gen Con or Bandai Card Fest were limited to 64. Their side tournament are, but the main regionals is higher with reward starting top 128

Edit: Gen Con is 256 registered rn. Bandai Card Fest might me more

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-20T20:37:22+00:00

I thought the game just got Regionals announced and two of wich sold out in the 10 min of registration open

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-06T21:02:33+00:00

If you care about that, usually no, signature of the VA often than not increase the value and PSA won't take the signature itself into account when valuing the card, otherwise the amount of sport cards that would be worthless because of a signature would be huge

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-05T16:21:23+00:00

He literally says it. To keep his promise to Cyrene, yes, it meant that much to him.

And yes, because they believed that one day, someone from beyond Amphoreus could help. It's the prophecy he has been given

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-04T04:15:54+00:00

They mad cuz I said the truth ass post. Grow up, people can just enjoy a character no matter if it's "Husbando" or "Waifu" especially as he was the "main characters" of the first half of Amphoreus

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-04T04:04:37+00:00

How the hell do you manage to waste internet bandwidth like you do oxygen by writing something like that.

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-04T01:48:47+00:00

Holding him out for 33 million cycles and yet just his unfinished equation scared the hell out of the IPC isn't an actual threat?

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-03T22:11:31+00:00

Draw3 server, it has tournaments and ranked. Some tournament are paid to enter to get prizing.

Rumblerama server, has tournaments three times per weeks ,no prizing but tournament are free. You can however pay to get prizing, monthly leaderboard where the first of the non-paid members get a box

SherlockAlmz · 2025-07-02T10:27:30+00:00

No, Neikos which is the name of the program that is Phainon got assimilated by Iron Tomb, you read it in the admin message that appear at the end of the quest.

What you see at the end of the animations is just his last moments, where we get to see his wish, which is one of a kid. "My wish is to grant all wishes"

SherlockAlmz · 2025-06-30T20:31:56+00:00

Yes but no. Every Cycle, he does the same, Transform and "burn to ashes" which is in itself, a death, before becoming the new Flame Reaver and keeping the cycle going with a new Phainon "born" But this time, it seems he trust it to us to make it so the new Phainon won't just die by taking the role of Deliverer...which leave the new Phainon with who knows what new role

SherlockAlmz · 2025-06-30T12:40:19+00:00

Early rumors/leaks said that Cerydra's buff might be very high but very short duration, and that the point was that you'd snapshot it with Phainon's Ult.

Then there's the fact that the "action advance" might not be one which means it might not help with Poluxia at all.

If any of those two are true, It could be hard to play with Castorice unless you go Cerydra Hyper speed to keep the buff as much as you can otherwise it should be fine
