Invisible Sun Book M

$49.00 SRP

So secret even its name is a mystery.

Some say the name comes from the Sodality of Vryn, which identifies thirteen currents of magic and gives each a letter designation—M is the 13th and most powerful. Others say the title refers to the original writer of the book, while still others believe it stands for mystery, or—perhaps most simply and obviously—magic.

Whatever the source of its name, the coveted Book M is whispered to contain unknown spells, incantations, rituals, charms, hexes, and more. Plus potions, amulets, bezoars, spiritstones, and madstones, as well as other physical ephemera. Within its pages a vislae might even discover previously unknown artifacts to aid in the pursuit of the secrets of reality.

Hardcover book plus 200 cards—all in a highly desireable slipcase.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Legendary Hero Deck
Get ready to dispense some Dueling justice this holiday season when the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME presents Legendary Hero Decks! This box set comes with 3 unique Decks featuring the kind of monsters you’d want on your side if the fate of the world depended on the outcome of a Duel!

Fulfill Your Destiny!
Aster Phoenix’s Destiny HERO Deck excels at driving opponents into a corner with effects that inflict damage or pierce through defending monsters. Like Jaden’s Elemental HERO Deck, the Destiny HERO Deck also Summons powerful monsters through Fusion! This Deck also includes 2 new "HERO" Link Monsters you can use in any HERO Deck: A Link-2 monster that retrieves your Fusion Summoning Spell Cards from the Graveyard and a high-ATK Link-3 monster with Link Arrows that all point towards your field, giving you space to summon 3 Fusion Monsters at once!

Return of the Aesir!
Thor, Loki, and Odin once again descend upon the Dueling world! Boasting some of the highest ATK values among all Synchro Monsters, Team Ragnarok’s ace monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s hold a special place in the hearts of Duelists. Now, a new Link Monster makes it easier to assemble the Synchro Materials needed to Summon an "Aesir" monster, and this Deck’s Extra Deck also comes with more high-powered Level 10 Synchro Monsters, including the legendary Ascension Sky Dragon!

The Phantom Knights Strike Back!
Phantom Knight Decks focus on Xyz Summoning and using Trap Cards to turn the tides of battle. Almost all of their monsters, Spells, and Traps have additional abilities you can use once they’re in the Graveyard, creating opportunities for huge comebacks! This Deck includes a new Trap Card and a brand new "Phantom Knight" Link Monster that Sets Trap Cards directly from your Deck and can destroy any card on the field when a DARK Xyz Monster is Special Summoned to a zone it points to!

Each Legendary Hero Decks box set contains 150 cards:
  • Three 40-card Decks with 10-card Extra Decks
  • Each Deck has 5 Ultra Rares and 45 Commons

Yu-Gi-Oh!: White Dragon Abyss Booster Display

Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss spans the 5 previous iterations of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and animated series starting with the original, then moving through GX, 5D’s, ZEXAL, and ARC-V! Focusing primarily on famous rivals like Seto Kaiba and Zane Truesdale, this booster continues to power-up popular strategies based around famous monsters like Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Cyber Dragon!

Following up from Legendary Collection Kaiba, Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss includes cards to power up both regular Blue-Eyes White Dragon Decks as well as versions of the Deck that employ the Ritual Summoning tactics introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions Movie Pack.

By combining the Deck basics from Legendary Dragon Decks with the new cards from Cybernetic Horizon, Duelists can create a brand-new Cyber Dragon strategy that employs Link Summoning, Xyz Summoning, and Fusion Summoning all in one Deck!

Returning from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Crow’s Blackwings make their first appearance since The Dark Illusion with a new Synchro Monster inspired by the very first Blackwing Synchro Monster: Blackwing Armor Master! This new Level 10 Synchro Monster is guarded against all other card effects and lets you gain control of – and later destroy – monsters that dare to activate their effects!

If you’re looking for "Photon" and "Galaxy" monsters to use with your Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord from Battles of Legend: Relentless Revenge, look no further because Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss also includes new cards for Kite’s "Photon" Deck from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL!

Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss also includes cards representing famous scenes from the anime series, like the fateful match selection of the Battle City Finals, and Kite’s ruthless "Photon Hand" technique he uses to claim "Number" monsters from his foes.

The complete set of Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss contains 55 cards.

The Big Score
$49.99 SRP

The vault at Centennial City Bank is currently rumored to be holding a record amount of cash, precious diamonds, ancient artifacts, and highly-sensitive digital information. As the boss of one of the city's most notorious crime organizations, robbing that vault for all it's worth is constantly on your mind. There's only one problem—this job is too big for just your crew alone. You're going to need help from some of your biggest rival crime bosses if you want to succeed. You'll need to join forces on a series of smaller jobs in order to acquire the skills and resources you'll need to pull off the biggest heist the city has ever seen—but watch your back! Once you and your new partners in crime are inside the bank vault, it'll be every boss for himself. If you manage to safely escape the scene with more loot than your rivals, you'll be revered as the city's most notorious crime boss. Hire your crew, plan the heist, and get ready for the big score!

The Big Score is a competitive game for 1-6 players that plays in 30-60 minutes. The game is structured into two distinct halves. In the first half of the game, players use card drafting to carefully choose which specialists to add to their crew. They secretly decide how to assign them to various small heists throughout the city, and they need to pick just the right moment to send in their most skilled expert to ensure a job's success! If these plans go well, players steal a variety of loot: cold hard cash, diamonds that escalate in value as more are gained, artifacts that are profitable for the player with the largest collection, and hard drives full of information that become lucrative only if hacked with a digital key. In the second half of the game, individual player abilities come into play as the players attempt the mother of all heists—the big score. Players risk being busted by the cops as they steal even more loot in an exciting, press-your-luck grand finale inside the vault at Centennial City Bank! The Big Score also features a challenging solo-play mode designed by A.J. Porfirio (Hostage Negotiator).

New releases from WizKids!

Street Date: October 1, 2018

Marvel Strike Teams Strategy Game
WizKids is thrilled to announce the brand-new strategy game that puts players in the role of some of their favorite Marvel Universe heroes and villains, Marvel Strike Teams. Two to five players face off in a classic battle of good versus evil. Everyone gets a character with a HeroClix Combat Dial to track their level and build points. One player is the villainous Mastermind and the rest are the heroes trying to save the world. Marvel Strike Teams is a campaign game designed by Andrew Parks.

The Villain Player controls the evil Mastermind and is able to guide the direction of each encounter. The Hero Players each control a single hero for the mission and must work together by combining their vast array of powers and abilities to complete various objectives, such as infiltrating an enemy warehouse or saving hostages.

Each hero is unique with individual play styles, giving players multiple options to play the way that best suits them, or try something all-new for a different experience! The environment also lends to the game play, putting obstacles in the way of players and granting them objects they can use as weapons. A wooden crate may block Captain America’s path, but he can pick it up and hurl it at enemy Hydra Soldiers! Players will quickly pick the role that best suits their team and lead the heroes to victory (they hope!).

Besides standalone missions, there is also a campaign-based game where the players can improve their heroes over the course of several missions. With randomly selected scenarios, multiple Map Tiles, and THOUSANDS of possible encounters, each mission will feel like a fresh experience!

Contents:
  • 13 HeroClix Figures*
  • 99 Cards
  • 30 Map Tiles
  • 150+ Cardboard Tokens
  • 80 Cubes
