Closeout sales are my friend

Yesterday Scott and I made a quick trip up to Red Deer, having heard that Bob & Dave's was going out of business. We were able to get a really nice batch of sealed packs, collectors boxes and a few mats for a very decent price. We split the batch up almost straight down the middle; Scott taking the Marvel stuff and I taking the DC cards.

I think I ended up with something like:

- 18 packs of DOR
- 23 packs of DSM
- 3 packs of DJL plus a collector's box
- 1 Hellboy set
- DCR collector's box
- 39 packs of DLS
- 12 packs of DWF
- 11 packs of DCL

Having next to no self control, I cracked almost everything last night and sorted through it. I was hoping for at least one more copy of Mobilize to give me a playset from Legion, but out of nearly two boxes, I was unsuccessful :( However, we got a great deal and I ended up with a lot of great new cards for my collection. Thanks for inviting me out for the trip Scott! :)

I'll be putting together a box of all my extras as soon as I can along with my now-very-short want list. I'll be happy to make trades with anyone who needs stuff I have and look forward to seeing what kind of decks are going to come out post-cancellation. I'm still excited about this game and can't wait to play in the upcoming army event!

No joy for me either - out of 1.5 boxes of Marvel Origins, not one Savage Beatdown! Also, in a half-box of MUN I only got one SHIELD Agent - I've got no luck with army characters.

No SRA either, but I did get my second copy of Hulk Smash and a second copy of Cap's shield, so that was a bit satisfying.

I shouldn't be complaining so much - it really was a great deal.

That'd be awesome Harry, thanks. I'll bring my rares and uncommons box for you to dig through. I'll compenstate you handsomely for it. :)
