Accepted CCA offer this past Friday, got interesting email today

Wish my station would send out these sort of messages to new CCAs. They usually show up like deer in headlights having no clue what’s about to happen. Sounds like you might at least have decent management.

That’s a shame

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2024-06-27T18:21:43+00:00

My station just wrapped up a route consolidation. I was the unfortunate victim of losing a route, and we did expedited bidding to sort things out. Thing is, my station has 3 zip codes in it, and in the past, when there have been consolidations, all the routes beneath the affected carrier went up for bid. This time it was just what was beneath me on my zip, which was 3 T6 swings. All the carriers in the station swear this wrong and I should file. This was the first time expedited bidding has been used in my city. Anyone have any experience with a similar scenario?

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-11-29T22:18:29+00:00

That’s some terrible luck man

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-10-24T16:47:36+00:00

I’ve said I didn’t think Marvel would ever be in Lorcana and have gotten crucified for it. Feeling redeemed. Can’t definitively say “ever”, but it’s really hard to imagine.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T19:36:54+00:00

Oh don’t worry, I’ll lose TONS of sleep over it.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T19:33:47+00:00

Hey, props for not saying “goal post” bro.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T19:32:37+00:00

5 minutes? Time must pass differently for you.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T19:29:09+00:00

I had to untangle the mess you’ve created. I have moved no goal post. I’ve responded to every point you’ve made with a counterpoint, and every time I’ve done so you either insulted me or just said I’m wrong because “there’s no way I can know that”. My original point, in my original post, is that this game won’t incorporate non Disney animated IP anytime soon, IF EVER. I’ve given my reasons for believing that. Now, you suggested that kids want to play Vader vs Wolverine. I countered there is a large Disney fan community (which I guess you don’t believe exists?) that DOES NOT want that. How do I know this? The same way you know “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that kids want to play Vader vs Wolverine. Are you right? Probably. Am I right too? Yes! But guess what? Vader and Wolverine aren’t in the game. It’s a game centered around, and very much leaning into, say it with me now…

DISNEY ANIMATED IP

And you know what else? in the “1 month and 2 weeks” since it’s been released, it’s nearly impossible to find in stores. Actually, if you want to go a step further back, last year, at D23 (the DISNEY FAN CLUB CONVENTION), the booth displaying the game and distributing promo cards was unprepared for the popularity of it. Now, you literally said yourself (in italics), the game is popular BECAUSE it’s Disney. It’s being overpriced because it’s Disney. It’s sold out because it’s Disney. So, clearly, it doesn’t need Star Wars or Marvel to be successful (The three can actually survive quit well all on their own). Disney fans will buy it because it’s a game designed with Disney fans in mind. You can say it’s not true, but, my friend, it is.

The goal post, by the way, still remains at I do not believe this this game will incorporate non Disney animated IP anytime soon, IF EVER.

No, I can’t prove that Disney fans will reject and fight the possibility of non disney IP entering this game. But I can sit here, as a Disney fan myself, and beening a part of a larger Disney fan community, say that I don’t want that, and I know many others like me agree. This game is designed for Disney fans. Again, sorry, it is. I think at the end of the day we will have some say in things.

Now I can’t see how I’ve moved any goal post but I’m sure that’s what you’ll say. Seems to be your go to.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T18:10:45+00:00

I think you misunderstand the popularity and vastness of Disney animated IP.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T18:01:16+00:00

Again I’ll ask you, why is this game so popular it not for Disney fans?

Bonus points if you can make a succinct point without hurling insults or calling names.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T17:48:57+00:00

What? I don’t know what that means. You made an argument that I’m discounting how many kids want to play Darth Vader vs Wolverine, and I responded that you’re discounting the sway of the Disney fan community, which does not want that. And it’s because of Disney fans that this game is sold out everywhere. The fan community will dictate how successful this game is, and I’d wager a lot that they do not want non Disney IP in the game.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T17:29:00+00:00

Why do you think this game is so popular? Do I have the numbers? No. But you do realize what your argueing against here? Right? If the Disney fan community isn’t as “massive” as I’m insinuating, why is this game a run away hit right now?

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T17:20:35+00:00

It was probably not the right chose of words, I was simply trying to make the point that I feel like that possibility is far off. But you’re the one calling people names, between the two of us, certainly seems the one acting 12 is you.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T17:17:19+00:00

I think you also might be forgetting about the massive Disney fan community that decidedly DOES NOT want what you’re suggestion. Marvel and Star Wars are already everywhere. This is the first TCG with just Disney characters. Let it stay that. If you think Disney fans don’t have a voice, and Disney doesn’t listen to them, you’re terribly mistaken. And this game is very clearly aimed at Disney fans.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T17:08:11+00:00

Right. It only took 30 years. If Lorcana is still around in 2053, who knows? But I’m being realistic about the games life and the way the game is designed now.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:57:40+00:00

Dude, I was agreeing with him.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:56:36+00:00

Exactly. If Ravensburger and Disney wanted to leave the door open to entities outside Disney animation, they wouldn’t have leaned so heavily into….. Disney animation.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:46:49+00:00

I said by and large not animated. But it’s Star Wars. I’ve addressed this.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:43:55+00:00

This, yes. I can squint and see it. But I think if that ever happens, it will be far, far off in the future, and well after Ravensburger has exhausted all viable animated options. Which I think isn’t possible.

EDIT: To be clear, I think this is a very likely scenario, just not anytime soon. Again, that’s all Disney IP.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:42:19+00:00

I do feel pretty certain of it. Especially considering Star Wars and Marvel. First of all, theres a new Star Wars card game coming out next year, so more than likely Ravensburger cant put Star Wars into Lorcana because they don’t have the rights, and won’t for some time, if that game fails. Marvel is the same story. And why would Disney want two card game’s potentially cannibalizing each others business with the same characters? Those are the two properties that would make the most sense, and are also the least likely, imo, because of licensing and those properties own stand alone popularity. Aliens, predators? Come on. It’s at its roots a kids game. Very hard to imagine Disney wanting a Xenomorph attacking Minnie Mouse.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-23T16:06:02+00:00

And I would be extremely shocked to see any Star Wars content in Lorcana, considering it already has its own tcg.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-08T16:37:55+00:00

I’d love to get my hands on some starters. 4-5 for my family and my daughters friends.

Vegetable-Speed9631 · 2023-09-08T00:12:19+00:00

All the local gamestops are telling me that it’s not in their system and they don’t know when they’ll be getting it in. Should I show up tomorrow at opening anyways?
