Two pallets of cards, sitting on a FedEx truck outside the company that grades them. That is where more than 6,400 collectibles disappeared, and every one of them belongs to somebody who paid to have it slabbed. Professional Sports Authenticator, the grading company better known as PSA, reported the theft to the Santa Ana Police…
Two Warhammer stories we ran last week were waiting on answers. One got a date, and the other is still waiting. Here is where each stands on Monday. Tomb Kings: pre-orders opened Saturday, but the price is still soft. When we covered the Host of Nehekhara box, we had no price and no pre-order date….
Most book series give a writer a front door. Warhammer 40,000 has about a thousand, and the man writing Amazon’s version of it says that’s the whole problem.

Two stories we’ve been tracking got real dates this week, and one of them has a hard limit on how long you’ll be able to buy it. Here’s where things stand on Monday. Khazalite Holds: the clock on the Fyreslayers is now running. When we covered the Fyreslayers losing seven entries to Legends, there were…
The Leader doesn’t want your health bar. He wants your Power, and he’d like your objective runs to move at half speed while he takes it. That’s the first thing that stands out in the rules previews for the next Marvel: Crisis Protocol character pack, which Atomic Mass Games lists as Leader, Red Hulk &…
