we went to ston pre release today and had a ball
a great set for sealed pack play - plenty of options and lots of good playable stuff unlike many in past
open dueling and mega flight were great fun it wasnt just summon summon tribute for beater first and hold on for win - turned out to be pretty good back & forth dueling with several tricks and turns of tide.....
only minor dissapointment was they ran out of the promo cards - my son got last one and i got hosed...and we entered a couple times after as well , sigh, didn't have any for the mega fligt either...day 2 blues....
i had hoped to trade a stratos for an ult or holo 'ns grand mole' but no one who was interested in the eh stratos had a holo mole to trade - and seeing co$t on ebay tonight - guess i realized why - wow...got a couple rares tho - and they are FUN to play :D
 
Stratos? He probably got it out of his JUMP subscription or traded someone who does.

Mine went perfect for me. I pulled excellently for the tournament I was in. My rares were Ancient Rules, Spiral Serpent, and Frostosaurus. Can you say tourny pwnage? Everyone was forced to play Six Samurai.

I got my promo early since the tourny peeps are first to get it, so that's a check, the only draw I didn't care for for the tourny was glow neos, he had no effect on my tourny =/.

Anyway, I put in 2 shien fortresses ending up forgetting they help my opponent's mass run of Six Samurai as well, and didn't relize it till the end of the 2nd match XD. But that turned out to be my boon. The fortress causes a stallout between the opponent and myself, almost none of our samurai can attack each other, so we sit and draw. I wait out till I drew Lycanthrope and his ritual or "Advanced Ritual Art" (which pairs perfectly with "Frostosaurus" and fuels "The Transmigration Prophecy").

So the fortress stalled out the game until I "Ancient Rules"ed one of my normal monsters of 2600 ATK and 2900 ATK or ritualed "Lycanthrope", for game. That strategy took me to 4-0 in the tourny due to the supreme lack of monster removal. It did turn out that my last opponent, I suspect got to where he is because he got the only monster removal in the tourny, the removing of the league or whatever card that destroyed a monster and its copies by discarding a spell XD. Anyway, it didn't help him against me, and he fell as simply as everyone else. So that deck won me 4 more packs that had an ultimate grand mole, grand neos, hummingbird, and another frostosaurus! Perfect, everything for the tournament win pulled first time around, all the big trade fodder after the tourny XD.

I kept the grandmaster, one copy of my frostosaurus, and my prophecy (although everyone wanted all of these cards), and traded the rest off quicker than hot cakes at a New York Intersection in January =P. Best time I've ever had.
 
got elemental hero stratos on e bay
i think the seller was "aloharc" if memory serves ...(very fast - won 2/20 , ppd 2/21 & rec'd 2/24) at the pre release, while telling my son they came and showing him the cards (we were immediately surrounded) a curios judge checked them out - he said they were legit.....well, actually i think he said "would you trade one? or sell one?" my initial response was no - but later in the day, when i realized how much fun the mole was, i began to "fish" for a holo or ult mole...
 
Our release was good . I got all the six samurai cards ,two of the promos and The great shogon, and we had a good turnout.

yeah cloak and dagger worked great for me - i was able to chain to the activation of any of the ritual spells and ancient rules to kill the summoned monster...as well as a mole or 2 , the other trap - eliminating the league was good field clearer too... nevermind getting to see your opponents hand!
my fav had to be using the plant to take warrior/spellcaster to use for ritual summons or straight up tribute for frosty. all stuff you dont see in sealed ya know?
i even had an opponent use darkworld dealings and the 2 dark worlds - gren and khakki(sp?) to clear my field , there were six samurai's recurring from grave and everything ! and the MOLE... fun fun fun once you were up a monster summon mole attack and return to hand then attack direct...or return a big beater to opponents hand eliminating a dominating monster for free....
a real fun day
 
i suck at sealed but meh...i didnt really (as usual lol) pull anything and all i really had to reky on were those flashbang traps and my 6 samurai dudes.
 
The Ft. Worth sneak ran really well. The room we were in was smaller than we would have liked, so we put registration outside and then started early so that we could get the first waves through. We had something like 350 uniques by the end of the day. We did open dueling for most of the day, then ran 4 8-man Sealed flights later in the afternoon. I did okay in my judge packs, getting an Ultimate Twister, Air Neos, Card Trader, Dark World Dealings, Ultimate Spiral Serpent, and Gene Warped Warwolf. I also got double Mole, double DD Crow, and a Pulling the Rug. I brought donuts for the judges, and later in the day, traded donuts to players for a few rares and a Birthright. Next stop: SJC Houston.
 
Ft. Worth was a lot of fun. Ended up with Reign x 2, ultimate D.D.Crow, Shogun x 2, ultimate Spiral Serpent, E-Hero Grand Neos but traded it for a second Reign, three Dark World Dealings, ultimate Pull the Rug and ultimate Transmigro....made a bunch of other trades as well for older stuff....DMOC for D.D. Assailant x 2, Smashing Ground and ultimate Fairy Injection....all in all a good day
 
But then again it sounds like you paid twice, Jathro. In that aspect I don't know if I'd agree you did great =P.
 
My sneak peek was great because in my 5 packs i got i pulled 2 Neo-Spacian grand Moles (1 ultimate) and Great Shogun Shien and Elemental Hero Grand Neos.

I did pay twice. But I didn't have to delve too deeply into the binder to get all the new stuff I wanted. I was able to trade new stuff for new stuff.
