I called them and asked about the cards. They (or at least the people working there at the moment) had no idea what I was talking about.

One of the 9

Belga offered a guess for one of the stores as
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Leksakborgen, STOCKHOLM

Have we got any confirmation of this? I just tried to google it and had no luck, our problems with the remaining store name might stem from a mistake in the next store name.

EDIT
I now strongly suspect that this guess is wrong. I can find lots of references to a toy store called
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Leksaksborgen (note the extra s)
but none to the original spelling.
Of course with the extra 's' the name doesn't fit. I've spent the last hour trying to find another toystore which does fit thus far with no success.

This also changes our speculation on the possible location of the 5th store - the one speced to be in
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Berlin, Japan, Milan etc.

I just chatted with a guy at Games of Berkeley. He says cards are due end of May/early June time frame. He hasn't been given a specific date yet.

um it could just be me confused by the spacing or it could be that the tentative solve on the wiki is out of date but it seems to me that the letters submitted between 78-88 (TH__C__NA) dont correspond to what has been guessed for that bit, namely ...city cards. These will be at... didnt know if anyone had noticed/cared since its all been about the game stores since. please correct me if im wrong tho.

rach =)

I can help some with the 78-88 section...

86=I

Hopefully, someone will input this in the wiki. I just got my package today and signed up here to post this (although I'll probably continue contributing, since this looks like it's getting fun).

Way to go!! that's got to be right Smile

This has to be a coincidence,but i googled the gadget guru, and in the same shopping complex is a store called ' The Kite Shop'. It's definitely OOG.

I spent lots of time the other day trying to find a store fitting in the space given, and found none. I was so excited with this one that I didn't notice the missing "s". I will go to Leksaksborgen tomorrow and ask them about the cards so we can be sure.

Many shops have no idea about the cards as it is.. so there's an even smaller chance for you to get the answer you want.

It's been talked about before, but again - the strange not-including-Japan-thing. What is it with that?

Buff of Sweden here.

Leksaksborgen - STOCKHOLM exists. There is currently two stores in Stockholm (where I live) called that. Unfortunately, today and yesterday is public holidays here, so I haven't been able to call them and pump them on information. First thing to do tomorrow though...

But I can confirm that they do exist. Regarding the Danish one, I have no idea - but I will try to reach them by phone as well.

Edit:
Didn't see the last post doing just what I did. But anyway, I'll stop by there anyway, it's just down the street from me.
