Escrito por Obake Máximo en 13/11/2022. Publicado en Novedades.

This big guy was an unused piece by Heather Bruton. The only name we had was Matsu Guy, and a production number: #25449515. Now it seems we can recover a forgotten hero from the Four Winds Era, and give him back his name, back from the claws of the Lying Darkness! The game is afoot. As mentioned, this character never got a Personality card, AFAIK, but he did show up in at least a couple other cards: Lion Warcats (AOF, follower) and Now Face Me (FOU, action). And the follower has a quote by a Matsu Kikuno, who was never mentioned again (in the card game, at least. Maybe he showed at some...

Check our stock of The Spirit Wars HERE. The Spirit Wars was a large set. 199 new cards, plus 35 starter reprints. Two cards had variants, a misprint in fact, when the fate and dynasty backs reversed: «Doji Meihu» and «Sanctified Temple«. Lots of things go dangerously wrong, in Rokugan AND the real world! A small video game publisher had a game with a very similar title, and threatened Wizards of the Coast with a lawsuit. This was just barely a nuisance lawsuit, destined to squeeze a little easy money out of the big company. As these things go, Wizards did the maths and decided to pay...

Check our Emerald Edition stock HERE. Emerald Edition is almost a reprint of Imperial Edition, the original core set (which would be repeated with Obsidian Edition, later on); however some changes were introduced.

Abrimos el Club del Misterio

Escrito por Obake Máximo en 14/08/2022. Publicado en Novedades.

Podéis encontrar nuestro fondo en Club del Misterio – ObakeMerchant. Si hay una colección mítica para los aficionados al policiaco, que se podía encontrar cada semana en todos los quioscos, fue Club del Misterio. Pero el misterio de verdad, no las tonterías que tenemos ahora de sicofonías, abducciones y otras pamplinas. En 1981, Bruguera lanzó este mítico coleccionable de venta en quioscos, con una presentación totalmente pulp con portadas coloridas y sensacionalistas de un gran Isidre Mones Pons, hasta el número 138. A partir del 139 el diseño de la portada cambió de estilo, y la serie acabó...
