Hey guys, would like to know if any of you guys here plays TCG or CCG. I am thinking of starting A Game Of Thrones but there are not too many ppl interested in my circle heheh so cannot start yet.

Currently playing VS System which is based on Marvel and DC comic characters. I co-own a kiosk in Amcorp Mall called Toybox that sells TCG /CCG as well as figurines, let me know if any of you is interested in A Game Of Thrones.

Haha well, if you want to start VS System (based on comic characters) you can come over to Toybox, 1st floor amcorp mall. We are giving away a free deck if you buy a starter from us.

Magic.. i stopped playing Magic about 4 years back

but the new expansion Ravnica has gathered quite a big following... we have lots of drafters for Ravnica

VS is basically a trading card game somewhat alike Magic. However, Magic is set in a magical scenario. VS system is based on the comic world, MArvel and DC comics..... so you have characters like Spiderman, Batman so on and so forth. The objective of the game is to reduce your opponents endurnce from 50 to 0 or more.

There are plot twists, locations, characters and equipments to play with.

Hey Oni Kabuto,

Perhaps you would like to drop by my kiosk in amcorp mall to check out the new sets or figurines on the 1st floor, its called Toybox =)

Hey cool pajamas,

You can actually place yr cards at Toybox... come around next week coz the guy in charge of MAgic will be tehre... Mon - Fri... he (Hong) can prob help u sell yr magic cards. Right now, the Ravnica singles are going out like crazy...

We are having a VS System hobby league Tomorrow at 2.30pm.
If you guys have nothing better to do, why not drop by Amcorp Mall 1st floor =) hehehhe

You can guys can surf www.metagame.com or www.vsdojo.com/forums if you wanna check out what is VS system before coming over physically =)

Ok Guys,

There is a VS System 10K tournament coming up in Gamecon Mid Valley Exhibition Hall (next to Nike shop on the 3rd floor) this December 3rd and 4th. Competition will be JLA sealed (DC Comics) Justice League of America expansion.

Top 24 gets USD200, price money increases as you get into top 8. Champion bags USD2500. JLA set will be released sometime next week or on the thrid week of November. As it is sealed, new players will have time to practise.

For those who are interested, can email me at booi.nicholas@gmail.com or come see us at Toybox located on the first floor of Amcorp Mall PJ.

Alternatively, you can email us at toybox.op@gmail.com which is the Toybox's email address if you dont get a reply from me.

Normally, the Pokemon players are aged around max 17. The rest wil convert to more mature games.

Well, i guess the main reason is they are expensive. As for shildish, I will have to disagree.... it is another form of game. Too many people are involved in electronic gaming (PC, PSP, PS2.. etc) and giving up on card games, DND, board games and such. A PS2 dvd costs you only RM4- RM5 per title, while cards can go up to RM150 or more per card.

That is because they are all imported from US and other western countries where their currency is stronger than ours. If you happen to buy books / comics, you will notice the difference in price for English books vs Chinese books. English books / comics costs so much more compared to Chinese books. That is because of of the countries economy / currency VS the other countries currency.

Well, i would like to think that every hobby in Malaysia is a luxury. Everything is expensive here in Malaysia. Even reading is very very expensive. The cards are only USD2.50 per pack compared to RM10 per pack. If you are in US, you can buy 4 packs with 10 bucks compared to the guy in Malaysia who can only buy one pack for 10 bucks, exhange rates aside please. We are talking about dollar to dollar here.

I am into mountain climbing, an average backpack of 60+10 litres costs you as much as 650bucks compared to 250 elsewhere where people make the same money as us here.

Malaysian's in general do not READ!!!

therefore, the card gaming community grows too slowly... in order to play, one has to think, communicate and read in English... many Malaysians are lacking in this skill, =)

which is why most graduates find it hard to get a job... they cant freaking speak proper English... let me know what you think about this.

Most people in the gaming scene (that I know of) are from English educated background or Chinese educated but has a strong grasp of English. Therefore, IMHO, for the community to pick up, we need educated people who reads. There certainly are no Samseng's in the community that I know of.

Another reason is probably due to lack of support from the creators of the card games as well as lack of marketing activities. Not too many people are exposed to card games.

For example, take a look at VS. every week, there will be at least 2 tourneys, each gives away a minimum of RM25 to the winner. Thats RM50 a week if you win both. Every month there will be a bigger tournament with USD250 for the winner. And of course, not to mention 10K tournaments which gives out USD2500 to the winner. 1st runner up gets USD800... top 8 USD400 top 23 USD200.

The game will not die out as long as there are support from the creators. Malaysia is one of the slowest market to pick it up despite the size of our country as well as the number of our population. Heck singapore probably has more players than the whole of Malaysia.

Toybox is in amcorp Mall Petaling Jaya... =) 1st floor.
Hey, Xeno, are you karry?

Yuyuyu, Toybox constructs a playable deck for every noob who buys a starter pack from us at RM48.00. We will ascertain your style of play and construct your free deck based on common and uncommons ie: control deck / beat deck / off-curve decks / defensive decks. And if you want to pack in some rares, we sell them at about 30-40% off market rate for all cards belonging to the shop.

Do drop by on Saturdays or any weekdays as the VS guys will be around. Hong keeps the store during the weekdays, he is bespectacled, has short hair (crew cut) while myself, Vincent (bald) and Nick (bespectacled, short hair) rotates to look after the place during Saturdays. Sunday is Pokemon day so dont go there on Sundays if you wanna play VS!!! =)

So i would say, RM48 would be enough to get you started. You can join our tourneys on Thursday, there are two sessions, one in the afternoon, and one at 8pm. Entry is RM10. Winner gets RM25 and no packs while first runner up gets 2 packs of booster.. the rest one booster each. We have got 10 new players recruited in the past 3 weeks so its not too late to join in. =)

Hey Karry,

I was the guy who registered you guys for the tourney. Heard you won the RM25 in the 2pm session. Well done! I was running my MK-Underworld concealed deck. Got 2 packs, lost the first place to Vincent.

Oh yeah, Karry, please come to the shop to collect your JLA pack for the 8pm session which you also participated in. I am not sure if we have the packs in or not, best check with Hong before coming over.

Yeap... Thurs afternoons consists mostly of noobs are there are still school going kids. The 8pm crowd are mostly working adults and some college students.

Hahaha... Well guys, VS system 10K tournament is this Dec 3 - 4th. format is sealed JLA expansion. Just came out last week. So still got time to practise.

I am not always there, but you can talk to Hong (Mon-Fri) or anyone keeping shop on Sat.. like i said, just dont go on Sunday (Pokemon day). =)
