Calm yourself down dear. I believe there is some loose link between Mind Candy and the Sentinel.


Indeed. Notice as well that Firebox are giving away a free wave 1-3 pack with every order at the moment (and have been doing so for several weeks). Making room for a wave 1-4 pack perhaps?

 		Now to try and pursuade a vendor to actually GET some Wave 4 cards in my State.

*sighs*

I guess I'll have to wait a week for Firebox as usual.

 		If the only packs available on 31 July are mixed waves 1-4 I don't think the launch party will be very celebratory... Still, as an addict I will of course be buying far too many.

Absolutely. After the whole debacle with the Ebay guys finding a way to get the good cards from packs, I figure a decent merchant was needed so I looked into it and will be selling UNSEARCHED packs and boxes.

Figured if I was going to be buying a couple of boxes myself, I might as well do it at a discount and offer a lower price to buyers as well. Especially since there was not a U.S. based mass seller on there, meaning we always had to pay extra for shipping and wait longer for it to arrive.

Awesome! It's people like you that are giving PXC a realistic shot at taking over the US. Thanks.

Wave 4 cards are to be available on launch day in both limited edition "pure" packs and mixed "multiwave" packs.


I think that answers your question Wink

 		Alliance Games (US distributor) shows them with a release date of the 31st (makes me feel a little better..) now if my distributor would get some form of a clue I'd be all set..

 		it's really easy to set up an online store, www.zencart.com has all you need (software wise, then you'll need a domain and hosting..)

it's what I've been using (link in my profile - not gonna advertise..), and what Manley is using, and is really easy to customize.

then you need to get a tax number from the state you live in, so that you're a certified reseller, that way you can purchase from a distributor (or mind candy if you're in the UK) for resale.


now that I've gone totally off topic.. we return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress..

Since wave 4 will be most probably sold in firebox first, maybe an email should be sent to them. They should know about the release, being the main card retailers


I just did. Here's what they said:

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your email.
Sadly, we're in the dark as much as you. Mind Candy keep their cards close to their chests (literally) and don't provide us with any info till the stock actually lands on our floor. So, we're unable to confirm yes or no I'm afraid.

Your best bet is to keep an eye on the product page till new stock arrives...

Hope this helps!

Cheers


So there you go. Guess we just have to wait.


Out of interest I asked whether we would be able to pre-order on firebox so that our cards arrived on the 31st (optimistic I know). The reply was strangely familiar:

Hi Mike,

The Perplex City guys usually don't let us know when new cards are in till the day before or in and around that time. They keeps their cards close to their chests (literally)!

So, we wont know when new cards will be available I'm afraid. I doubt very much that you'll be able to pre-order tany new cards, although stranger things have happened...

Your best bet is to keep an eye on the product page till new cards arrive...

Ah me!
