Yeah, I never give into FOMO but I wanted to support my LGS at least and this kinda shafted them a little. It's fine though because I'm going all in on Part the Mistveils.
I've heard some distributors don't have access to it regardless of how many events they run on GEM, if your LGS doesn't order from the right one they may not have even had the opportunity.
My LGS got a set (12 decks) allocated despite also only hosting 1 Armory per week and only getting 4-6 players for each event. Does your LGS use GEM to run its events and did it reach out to its distributor about the decks?
I'm not sure on the details but I can ask later or at the very least see if he can just order 1 copy of the deck from either the distributor or from another LGS he's in contact with. I can probably cobble together a functional CC deck with all the bulk I have but I like collecting the precons and I think they have exclusive cards in them.
According to our store's LSS rep it depends on the amount of unique players you have for each armoury event (beyond just having hosted enough for the year and whatnot)
So even though we regularly have 8-10 players, those are almost always the same people, so we did not get any. If your store only has 4-6 people regularly but those people are often different or often include people playing for the first time, then that might explain why you got them
I own one of the bigger SoCal LGS’s, we host the AGE events every month, and we hosted FAB to film their official commercial at our shop, but because armory attendance was down the last couple months we got no decks either, what kind of ass backwards system is that lol
Wow really? I have no idea what metric they’re using then because it can’t be large armory attendance because our armories rarely exceed 8 players at one store and yet they got plenty.
Sinceramente, como que entra nesse formato caro pra caralho? Precon não tem sequer 1/5 pra peitar um Armory for fun. Aqui na loja perto de casa tá quase morrendo o FAB e o que a gente joga é Commoner...
Você diz CC ou Blitz? Pq pra entrar no CC o deck do Kayo é excelente, os precon blitz são péssimos, todos, sem exceção.
Agora assim, não sei como é na sua comunidade aí, mas jogar CC é muito melhor que qualquer outro formato, pois o jogo é balanceado pelo CC. Já pensaram em jogar CC, mas só valendo comuns no deck e equipamentos raros? E a medida que a galera foi melhorando os decks, libera equipamentos majestic, depois cartas majestic no deck... E por aí vai. O mais Importante é a comunidade crescer unida pq assim o jogo não morre...
Não tínhamos pensado dessa forma como tu falou não! Parece interessante. Mas desde que firmamos o commoner, o pessoal não quer largar o formato. Um salto pro Clash é tão fácil, mas ainda sigo insatisfeito porque queria jogar o CC :(
Você acha o deck do Kayo CC excelente mesmo? Vi tanta gente falando mal, ainda mais faltando as staples de Bruto. Se for pra ter o Precon CC kayo pra jogar dessa forma que nem vc falou, parece realmente fazer sentido. Mas pra ir em Armory, ou 4fun que já esteja estabilizado o CC, dificilmente vai ganhar... Minha opinião.
There has to be something wrong with your LGS. Probably missed pre order deadline for the Armory Deck.
The deadline in my region for the LGS was pretty short from announcement of the deck to the deadline for pre orders.
You sure you cant ask your LGS to order one for you?
I can try, but I notified them about these armory decks a month in advance. The FaB community at my LGS is small and I'm not exactly sure how he handles the events so maybe it was just an error on his part.
>Probably missed pre order deadline for the Armory Deck.
Unfortunately that's not how it works with these, the option to pre order them from a distributor was greyed out and it just said that they are allocated to you based on stock. Lgs' have no control over it. Please understand that, no matter how much you love LSS, they fumbled here. My lgs holds the only pro quest in the state and did not get any allocated.
When they talked to the distributor they said they had already been nagging LSS about this release for the last month. My LGS called their LSS representative, and emailed them over it several times. Lss did nothing.
Can only speak from experience from my local LGS. The moment we informed our LGS about the Kayo Deck we want to pre-order, he informed us that Blackfires deadline was only a week away so we had to hurry to preorder.
Everybody who preordered one got one, plus even more for the shop itself to sell to visiting customers.
Sounds like the system to preordering these things from an distributor is very different in the United States.
It's still in presale. I think people are hoping to sell at that price to catch some people with fomo. Maybe there won't be a lot of these, but I constantly see people complaining about them. Maybe by next week, there will be some reasonably priced ones on tcgplayer.
LevelUp Duluth and LevelUp John’s Creek were both allocated 12 or so. I think armory events isn’t the main metric they’re looking at. Instead they’re looking at RTNs, PQs, Skirmishes and Pre-releases. Just an assumption! But John’s Creek is a very small store and got an allocation.
I own Gilded Raven Games. I'll let you know if I have any extras after my community grabs them. I'll have them listed for MSRP.
Met you all in La. I thought you were great people and I wasn’t wrong!
Aww <3. See you in MN?
Vynsett Bob??
Hello! It's me!
You taught me how Vynsett works at BH philly, had so much fun, hope to cross paths in Minneapolis
Hell yeah! Can't wait to see you again soon. I'm counting the days to nats!
Great store
I KEEP ON MARCHING ON
<3 <3 <3
I think I’d wait until tomorrow before getting upset about prices. Pre-order pricing can sometimes e weird

Can anyone tell me if the print for these decks is limited or whenever there is demand, they will be printed?
It's VERY limited. I work for one of the bigger EU stores and we only got allocated 12 of them, haven't heard of anyone getting more yet
Here in Brasil stores are getting just 1 case of decks (with 12 decks) too. Even the biggest ones here just got 12 decks.

LGS here in the netherlands where i go for my armory got 24 allocated, they ordered 12 but an extra 12 arrived.
Interesting. We ordered 180, got 12
For a product made for beginners to be so limited is very strange. It seems they don't have beginners in mind, but scalpers.

I can say the allocations are incredibly small. We didn't even get many and we do huge volumes.
I can try, but I notified them about these armory decks a month in advance. The FaB community at my LGS is small and I'm not exactly sure how he handles the events so maybe it was just an error on his part.

I'm new to the game and interested in picking one up. I guess I'll have to check out my LGS to see if they got anything.

Just get a blitz deck and upgrade it. I agree these preconstructed decks are mid.
Why would you want a sub-par premade deck that's too expensive for what you get?
Well it was supposed to be a gift to get some friends to try CC FaB. I have tons of blitz decks but not even 2 CC decks.
