So much unpacking. (This pile of boxes was like, 5 boxes high and a solid pile. We're like halfway through it...)

GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

Fun Fact: We'll be moving our mtg commander nights to 2nd and 4th Thursdays when we reopen because you can play commander a block away at Slightly Furry on 1st and 3rd Thursdays! :D

We're been quiet because we're working on the new space... So far we've gotten the speaker systems working and playing video game music, internet hooked up mostly, built a new counter, and gave Kevin a perch overlooking the shop (the most important part).

We're opening our new space tomorrow Thursday 8/30 for another preview event: MtG Commander Party with Spiderman! Join us at 831 Hiawatha Pl S from 6pm to 9pm and play some commander! Note: We're still working on the new space we can't sell you things and the space is not yet wheelchair accessible.

Moving Update! After lots of demolition (who gave Kevin a crowbar????) and work we've taken over 1000 lbs of stuff to thrift shops and the Fremont transfer center. We've salvaged as much of the old furniture as we could but unfortunately most of it had to go to the dump :(

Our new comic shelf is naked. :3

We're OPEN RIGHT NOW come grab stuff donations appreciated.

Now that they're installed on the wall I can finally sort my commander decks by bracket. #magicthegathering #mtgcommander

We're opening up our Fremont location thus Sunday 10/26 for one more day of free and name your own price displays, furniture, and random lil things like signs and wire racks and a whole fridge! Come by 3 to 8 PM; park your car out front for loading. Come TAKE STUFF!

Wanna see more pictures? We have more on our CL post seattle.craigslist.org/see/gms/d/se...

TEA NEWS THREAD: Big change in blend availability coming! In addition to Pom White/Black no longer existing, we desperately need to cull our fandom blends to minimize our overheads and improve our margins, so I'm going through and cutting blends that we can't make anymore and/or don't sell well.

Packing the mothman plushies in the same box as the Omegaverse manga. Anyway moving is going well.

So many boxes filled with books. :3 :3 :3

Wait why the hell is DC working with disgraced former Magic artist who was fired after posting a selfie from the racist convoy?

In an ironic twist we are somehow out of boxes and I just ordered a bunch of extra boxes for moving lolsob.

Okay so I'm gonna stop yapping about sales and comics and cards and crow stuffies for a moment and point out officially on social medias that we support @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social as mayor of Seattle and if you're like "wow I really support ur small business" you should vote for Katie Wilson. 🧵

Rare photo of our indie wall being... almost empty... Anyway hi come help us not move more things and get some sweet sweet discounts this weekend :3

It’s official! I can talk about it! I’ve spent the last 2+ years leading the narrative for the Magic: the Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set! I’m excited to see all of this release! TMNT is such a weird, wild franchise that meshes weirdly well with Magic magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...
