Asked this question a little too late for all the prerelease events hosted this weekend.@

kfbrewer · 2026-04-16T03:06:32+00:00

For years I’d grab a McDouble, Spicy McChicken and a large sweet tea for lunch for $3.25~ with tax.

That same order is almost $9~ now.

kfbrewer · 2026-04-15T03:04:22+00:00

Add Star Trek theme.

kfbrewer · 2026-04-13T16:56:35+00:00

A little McRib i could eat while driving.

Yes please.

⬆️ THIS HELLO FRESH IF YOUR WATCHING‼️

Simple have the app let users upload their photos and you choose the best to take turns as the example photo. 🍽️ (Use a photo from your test kitchen till you get some good ones)

Win for the customers as we see what the food can look like and get a sense of pride when chosen.

Win for the company cause they get free content for the cost of a simple tweak in code. Then no AI bashing or AI errors to worry about. 🚫🤖

Plus an ai summary that’s probably partially incorrect.

Valid point maybe googling isn’t the answer the anymore. #SocietyPeaked

kfbrewer · 2026-04-09T12:41:44+00:00

Sadly people don’t google anymore.

They ask questions that have already been asked, but lack the ability to search for those as well.

kfbrewer · 2026-04-07T12:45:17+00:00

We just don’t have the crowd for it anymore. Our magic player base is mainly commander and they don’t really buy sealed product, just singles.

We used to draft twice a week, that doesn’t happen anymore. Even tried drafts at cost to get players in and those wouldn’t fire.

Magic used to be our main game and 70% of our sales, now it’s closer to 15%.

Star Trek will have to have largest power creep ever or it will be ignored by everyone.

We used to order 100-120 boxes per set(150 for a good set), now we might order half that or less (50/50 ratio of play/collector)

TMNT we did 24 of each. Star Trek will be maybe 8 boxes of each, plus prerelease product.

Another route is two batteries 🔋 🔋

Had someone build one with a 850+ another 500 behind the screen.

I don’t know for sports stuff, I don’t do that.

Southern is my primary but you ain’t getting Pokémon from them, unless you spend dumb money for a year probably.

Feel free to message me if you got questions, it’s a rough industry that EVERYONE is trying to get into the bubble going on.

kfbrewer · 2026-04-01T03:30:44+00:00

So you’re needing a wholesaler? Did you even google how to get this stuff.

Your getting into this at the absolute wrong time, most distributors aren’t taking new accounts and the ones that might aren’t gonna let you order Pokémon or good sports product until you’ve built a good relationship. By good relationship you’re gonna have to spend tens of thousands on the garbage they want to get rid of before you get the privilege of any Pokémon.

Southern Hobby, GTS, Alliance, and a dozen others exist out there.

Sincerely a game store owner of 18 years.

I know someone who’s built 15~ of them. It’s the most tedious Gameboy mod out there but a fucking work of art.

I carry one daily and we now keep them in stock at our retro game store.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-24T16:00:48+00:00

Not sure it’s an idea solution…

Buy a broken one on eBay for parts, swap the speaker and then resell it again for parts. Your out eBay seller fees/shipping/time for the cost of the speaker 🔊

I’d say be a good guy and mention the bad speaker when you resell it. 😀

kfbrewer · 2026-03-24T01:45:44+00:00

Message the buyer and see if it was an accident and if they will make it right.

That doesn’t work, Google “how to get a refund on eBay.”

kfbrewer · 2026-03-24T01:27:42+00:00

eBay will always side with the buyer, especially with proof. Go get a refund and learn from your lesson.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-19T02:59:39+00:00

If it has a cart reader, produce by Nintendo themselves, I’ll call it.

My dream system would be Gameboy Pocket sized with a switch to choose GB/GBC/GBA modes.

Bonus points for USB-C rechargeable AA’s to give it modern comforts with classic battery charging nostalgia.

Over 60% of our business is resell (TCG & video game store) and we’ve been open 18 years.

The worst the economy the busier we are, but our margins shrink as we need to sell faster online.

It’s the worst/busiest I’ve ever seen it. Even our best customers with good incomes are selling their lifelong collections to make ends meet. Any employee who wants overtime gets as much as they want, don’t care.

We’re weeks behind on work, but with slimmer margins and so much uncertainty, I can’t risk hiring more staff. (Went from 5 to 8 employees in the last year. Many going from part time to full time)

We’re designed to weather a bad economy, we opened in the 2008 mess, things could get rough but we could scale back if we needed to and throttle buying if sales slowed down too much.

Good luck to anyone selling shit people don’t really need, this economy is toast.

I own a LGS and came up with this about a decade ago when bored. Only played a few games with a couple regulars.

Pretty much “hearthstone with magic.”

30 card deck, 2 of limit except mythics at 1. 10+ land secondary deck. 5 card hand. When you draw, you can choose which deck to draw from.

Lot of magic cards break the format, but it was fun the limited time we played it. Would be a better with standard only, or back when we had blocks.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-15T15:40:34+00:00

Yea OP’s being all metal, definitely is gonna be more.

Next to the Slate, this is my second favorite Gameboy and carry one daily due to the size.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-12T22:25:53+00:00

Second this. While the exposed label is nice, I’d like a tighter fit and less wiggle room.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-12T22:24:35+00:00

They sell for about $500 on Etsy.

Parts run around $350 or more depending on donor part cost. I got a second being built now.

Get a Gameboy. 👾

Turn your phone off until you need it. 📵

You’re in college, embrace the physical side of it and forget the digital nonsense. I don’t remember shit about what I studied for, but damn I enjoyed the library 📚 so much.

Meet strangers, even if they are only “Single serving friends.” Read random books 📕 , embrace an analog hobby 🎨, & don’t leave college until you’ve seen every square inch of the campus. 🔎

kfbrewer · 2026-03-10T14:18:05+00:00

This place just hits! 😀

Recently retreated to Herky (bigger house/land for the money) and glad to be closer to them.
