Been a bit since we posted here, name changed too, but some things never change like having big heat pulled from our shop!
One of our local @cfvanguard_en players pulled the serialized Gold Blaster Blade, #45!
We love Cardfight!! Vanguard and we are glad one of ours got one!
Just finished Tomohara's latest TCG shop viability tier list ranking games by how profitable they are to run as a specialist store
This one was really interesting...
Note: games within each tier are NOT ordered left to right
(There's an English auto-translation audio track too so you can follow along.)
S Tier: Lorcana
• Same publisher as Duel Masters
• Strong Disney IP with global reach
• Gameplay foundation similar to MTG
• Fewer specialist store competitors right now
• Considered to have explosive growth potential
A Tier (Recommended): Duel Masters
• Long history
• Huge product pool
• Extremely popular
• Fewer rival specialist stores compared to Pokemon
Other notes:
• Digimon landed in B because demand for specialist stores is already largely met
• Pokemon is extremely competitive (specialists store-wise) with frequent market crashes and many specialist stores have gone out of business

Some thoughts on @PokemonTCG as a small business and Local Game Store in the United States at this time.
Long story short, we dont think they care and we're sorry we can't serve more of you.
@TransGraham Huge issue we deal with. Cardfight is our 3rd best seller and we have consistent event turnouts, but we barely get offered anything out of the regular Vanguard days. it sucks
Our very first guess the card win the card video! We have the great Jesse in the hot seat guessing on a @ONEPIECE_tcg_EN card!
Excited to do these at more of our One Piece Card Game locals and events!
🎉Special Announcement🎉
In collaboration with COVER Corporation, we are pleased to announce the release of English edition hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME📣
Please follow and stay tuned for more updates!

It's not a decision we made lightly, but with the upcoming @PokemonTCG set, Prismatic Evolutions, and the rabid nature we are seeing from the general public and scalpers for it we've decided its in the best interest and safety for the staff and store to not put it on our shelves.
it’s good to be strategic and play the game, otherwise you get nowhere…but protecting your morals and knowing where you stand, even at the expense of opportunities is the best sleep you’ll ever get
Our in store Godzilla fans have told us they arent even interested in trying it because they have too many games already.
This Godzilla game from every business aspect is a horrible idea and will only lose stores money by bringing it on in mass quantities.
As a store we have decided for us its DOA and to not have it on our shelves.
Bushiroad players will treat Godzilla the same way Bandai players treated Battle Spirits Saga.
They will not play it or buy it due to not seeing enough support for the games that already exist.
Although Godzilla is doing well as an IP, as a card game it should be a collab in other games.
VTubers and Japanese card game players vendiagram is practically a circle.
The amount of money people spent on VTubers and the internet take over of Vtubers is bigger than Godzilla.
If someone wasn't strategically buying out and manipulating the market we wouldn't have this problem.
It's plain as day for any store paying attention that the Cardfight! secondary market is horribly manipulated.
This is a big reason the American audience side isn't growing.
When will US Cardfight! Vanguard fans learn that the product isn't shorted, you just don't have stores buying it.
Since becoming a store we have gotten every case of Vanguard we ever ordered without delay or shortage.
That Bushiroad doesn't "mass print" is market manipulation.
