As for the MAIN ARTICLE of the week... Now that everyone has their tricksey little hands on the new MTG x The Hobbit cards, the real deck-building madness has begun! 💍🐉

👇 Check the first comment below for the link to read the full guide! 👇

What's been your favorite card to pull or brew with so far from The Hobbit? Let us know in the comments!

Ever wonder what goes on behind the counter when supply chain hiccups hit your Friendly Local Game (and Comic) Store? 📦🚚

Take a quick "behind the counter" look at why your event registrations matter so much for product allocation, how we navigate distribution puzzles, and most importantly saying a massive THANK YOU to everyone showing up and supporting the shop!

IMPORTANT LORCANA UPDATE FOR THIS WEEKEND:
Since Attack of the Vine! blew out the door and is sold out at the distributor level, we're pivoting this weekend's Collection Quest so nobody misses out!

👇 Head to the first comment to read the full article and store update! 👇

The Hobbit pre-release is here!

We're just waiting on you to travel your way over.. Maybe with some tall wizard and like thirteen dwarves. Possibly encounter a dragon? 👀🤷🏼‍♂️🐲

So, once you're done with that, come join us this weekend!

*NOTE*
We did not receive play boosters due to distribution issues. Hopefully, the delay will be short. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is here, and it is finally swinging back to the street-level basics! 🕸️

We checked out Peter Parker's latest cinematic adventure and wrote up a completely spoiler-free review for the site. If you're tired of the multiverse madness and just want a street-level(ish), character-driven comic book movie where the hero needs ibuprofen just as we do, well...

Drop a 🕷️ in the comments if you've already seen it, or tell us if you're planning to go this movie sometime soon (NO SPOILERS IF YOU COMMENT, PLEASE)!

This game looks oddly familiar. Could be thinking of something else.. not sure what though... 🤔👀

Anyway! We have the new Palworld TCG in! Available this weekend!

*NOTE*
With the strong interest of product, we will be limiting it to one item per person. Thanks for understanding!

Confession time: What is your absolute favorite "pet card" that you refuse to cut from your deck, even though it is completely terrible for the meta? We all have one.

Are you stubbornly trying to make a 6-card combo work? Are you throwing games just to play your favorite shiny Pokémon? We see you, and we SALUTE you. 🫡

👇 We just dropped a new article defending the honor of the "Jank" deck. Link is in the comments so drop your favorite sub-optimal card down there while you're at it!

The hype alone for the books just wasn't enough!

👹 WILDLIFE SIGHTING AT THE POP! SHOP 👀

If you’ve ever found yourself buying a new set of sharp-edge resin dice just because they "matched the vibe" of a new character... you might be a "Goblini Polyhedrus."

We went deep into the field (behind the counter) to document the majestic Dice Goblin in its natural habitat. From their recognizable "click-clack" vocalizations to their complex nesting behaviors, our newest field guide covers everything you need to know about observing and caring for these industrious creatures. (And don't worry, we are well aware of the fearsome Dice Dragon, but that is a documentary for another day!) 🐉🎲

Tag the biggest Dice Goblin in your adventuring party below and read the full nature documentary using the link found in the replies below.

The Disney enjoyers came out in full swing! An incredible turnout for our Lorcana Attack of the Vine pre-release.

As always, thank you to all who attended!
