00:00 - 00:03As we hoped, Fantasy Flight recently refreshed their stock
00:04 - 00:05So getting most adventure packs from them...
00:05 - 00:07...has gone smoothly.
00:08 - 00:12Unfortunately a few of the packs sold out very quickly, but we think we may be able to find them...
00:12 - 00:15...either online or maybe at one of the nearby LGS's.
00:17 - 00:19A missing AP or two isn't a big deal
00:19 - 00:21just so long as we got the print on demand stuff.
00:24 - 00:26My fuhrer...
00:27 - 00:28The nightmare decks...
00:31 - 00:33The nightmare decks were almost entirely out of stock.
00:34 - 00:36It's likely that they'll never get reprinted.
00:53 - 00:58If you're not a fan of elves, dwarves, and hobbits... get out.
01:13 - 01:15Damnit I knew this would happen!
01:15 - 01:17With Fantasy Flight this always happens!
01:18 - 01:23Now I have to have cards shipped across the Atlantic and deal with Ebay weiners like terminator1121 to complete my collection.
01:25 - 01:28I'll probably have to pay $400 for a damn Balrog playmat!
01:29 - 01:31Good thing FFG treats inventory tracking seriously
01:31 - 01:34not like toilet paper to wipe their asses with!
01:34 - 01:37I had order confirmations from them two separate times for nightmare decks
01:37 - 01:40only to have them unceremoniously cancelled.
01:40 - 01:42My furher, if we just remember to check for restock three times a day
01:42 - 01:46Maybe they should stop entering inventory numbers with their fucking buttcheeks!
01:46 - 01:48My furher, we can also check Amazon and Google Shopping...
01:48 - 01:52Because nobody has anything to do except type shit into a search bar all day!
01:53 - 01:54I should be busy killing orcs!
01:56 - 01:57Sauron's hordes should be fleeing before my
01:57 - 02:00highly tuned tri-sphere decks!
02:00 - 02:03I should be generating resources and dropping progress tokens!
02:04 - 02:08Instead I'm busy calling stores in rural Idaho looking for Across the Ettenmoors.
02:08 - 02:13I haven't even gotten past Heirs of Numenor because I'm too busy tracking this shit down. All they need to do
02:14 - 02:16is release them as "Return To..." boxes.
02:17 - 02:21But I guess they don't like money! I should just make proxies!
02:27 - 02:29I don't want to print up a batch of cards.
02:30 - 02:34I just want a complete set. Is that so much to ask?
02:34 - 02:36Just one complete collection.
02:41 - 02:42For fuck's sake.
02:43 - 02:47It's not like I'm asking for all the alt-arts or promo merch. I just want the whole game.
02:48 - 02:53Maybe it was too late for me to have started playing at all!
02:54 - 02:56Oh but I'm sure FFG will keep printing Marvel Heroes.
02:56 - 02:59Of course they'll keep printing a simplied version of the format!
03:00 - 03:02Disney will be thrilled with the decision won't they?!
03:04 - 03:07It's ok, the mechanics will get more complex over time.
03:14 - 03:16I just wanted to spend more time away from my computer.
03:19 - 03:23I could have picked up jogging - now that would have been a healthy choice.
03:25 - 03:26That's clearly true.
03:31 - 03:33I'm a huge Tolkien fan.
03:40 - 03:46Is it too much to ask in the midst of COVID and all the other crap going over the last year
03:46 - 03:49to be able to spend some time in Middle Earth?
03:53 - 03:56Someone get out Khazad-dum.
