Followup: Ohio Walmart Selling Cardfight!! Vanguard, Toys R Us Confirmed

The photo at left was taken from inside a Walmart store in Cincinnati, Ohio, confirming that Cardfight!! Vanguard has spread into the midwestern United States. Combined with the previous information established regarding where the game is being stocked, and recent sightings in Georgia, Vanguard's territory now encompasses at least six of the fifty states. As Ohio is the first confirmed location to not be a border state, this suggest that the game has a much larger presence than can be reasonably estimated from the current information.

These packs are retailing for $3.98 apiece, a dollar more than most retailers would sell the cards for. However, as Walmart is not in the business of selling singles, they do not as some suppliers do, weigh their boxes beforehand in order to keep RRR and SP rarity cards out of their customers' hands and on the shelves.

Furthermore, a source whom will remain anonymous to protect their privacy has recently confirmed that a Toys R Us in Cerritos, California was seen selling Cardfight!! Vanguard booster packs individually for $4.99. Neither of these stores have been confirmed as stocking the second booster set or trial decks.

News: Walmart Now Selling Cardfight!! Vanguard, Site Updates

Various Walmart stores throughout New Jersey, Maryland and southern California have been sporadically confirmed as stocking the Cardfight!! Vanguard trading card game. Other general purpose stores, such as Target, Meijer, and even professional toy chains like Toys R Us have been slow on this uptake.

Regarding site maintenance, I've been repairing some broken links so that they direct to the correct pages. Inserting the proper changes to make the character pages up to date is difficult to work the time in for; you've probably noticed by now that the pages are updated from top to bottom, with articles higher up on the list getting priority first. While I've made some immediate exceptions for the Foo Fighters and most decklists, the general priority goes from Aichi reading down. This is why Sendou's article is always the most up to date one.

We've been tackling some difficult material in my classes lately, so I don't have as much time for the blog. Don't worry--this is the same type of hiccup that happened around finals week. Game Set isn't going anywhere.
