Cryer from the Castle 7/8

Horus Heresy

 If you want any of the new Horus Heresy items, specifically the SATURNINE box set, we need to know by 3 p.m CT tomorrow. Same thing for the new codexes releasing 7/26

July 4th

 Tomorrow we will host our third annual reading of the Declaration of Independence at 11 am central time. You are welcome to join us at the store or watch live as we stream it on our Facebook page.

Brandon looks at this week's events and releases

Archie Vs. Minor Threats

 This looks like a cool series. Remember Archie had some really weird crossovers over the years, including Predator, Punisher, Sharknado and later this summer Jay and Silent Bob. They all worked. We ordered up on this one, as well as the Jay and Silent Bob book because I think they will be fun.

Stop by the store and pick up a free Archie/Minor Threats button, while they last.

Final Fantasy

 The Universes Beyond Final Fantasy has been quite a sugar rush for stores.  Even pricing collector boosters at $50 each did not slow down the interest and the Gift Bundles moved steadily at $149.99 as we sold through 80% of our order in one day. 

We would love to get more of the shiny collectors cards for the set but, since there are serialized cards in the Collector packs, Wotc will not reprint them. We do expect more Play boosters and regular commander decks in July but no more Collector.

Will Spider Man and Avatar be as big?  I am not sure. I doubt it but I and the rest of the staff, to be honest, did not expect Final Fantasy to sell as well as it did.
