Over 5923
people caught wasting company time here in the last seven days.
One of our company goals is to make sure that no child goes to bed with dreams of a new Munchkin set unfulfilled because of empty, dusty shelves at their Friendly Local Game Store. Toward that end, we just ordered reprints of three Munchkin games: Super Munchkin; The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin; and Munchkin Zombies (which is going for a third printing less than a year after its release! Y'all sure love you some shambling undead . . .).
There may be slight disruptions in your Munchkin core set goodness, but we think we've timed these just about right so most stores will be getting the new sets right as they're running out of the current ones.

February 19, 2012: Play Arts Kai Action Figures At New York Toy Fair
One of my favorite booths at New York Toy Fair was Square Enix, with their Play Arts Kai series of action figures. These 9-inch-tall figures have great articulation, incredible sculpting, and tight paint work. Even more important than the style and design of the toys, though, is the fact that the Play Arts Kai series includes characters drawn from sources ranging from Batman to Metal Gear Solid. Now that I own a handful of these action figures (I've been picking these up for a little over a year now), I got even more out of the Square Enix booth than I have at earlier Toy Fairs.
Since many of you couldn't make it to the show to see the Square Enix booth, I've done the next best thing and created a photo set at Flickr. Click through for over 40 photos of Play Arts Kai toys, but don't blame me if you immediately run out and pre-ordered the Armored Batman.

Warehouse 23 News: It's Fuzzy AND Purple!
Who said tentacles should only be green? Have you actually met Cthulhu? Grab a Purple Plush Tentacle exclusively from Warehouse 23!
Incredible? Fabulous? Awesome? Super? I'm trying to settle on the perfect word to describe my New York Toy Fair experience this year, but no matter how hard I try I can't describe the show with only one word. It was productive -- I got a lot of useful feedback on our Castellan packaging mockup -- and insanely fun. From meeting with buyers from major chains to the friendly G4 crew to getting the chance to spend time with friends, I cannot think of a single bad thing to say about my week in New York. Except maybe to say that it's now over . . . I never get enough time in New York.
What I know for sure is that I had a great time Wednesday night at dinner. Liegh, Monica Valentinelli, and I were joined by Mike, David, and Brian from Haywire Group, and Kali and Chris from Dark Horse Comics for some tasty Italian at . . . well, I have no real idea where we were. All I'm sure of is that I failed to get us into Five Napkins (sorry, gang, I'll make reservations next time).
And one last important point of information: Yotel is my new favorite hotel in the world, and the next time I have to hit the Big Apple I'm totally staying there. When the worst part about your hotel is that there's a robot in the lobby, then you know that you have found the greatest hotel in the world.

New for May, six new colors of Cthulhu Dice and more Munchkin level counters!
Cthulhu Dice
Serving Cthulhu is fun . . . except for all those other cultists out to get you. So get them first!
Cthulhu Dice lets you drive your rivals mad . . . very, very quickly. Players take turns rolling the big, beautiful, custom 12-sided die, embossed with tentacles, Elder Signs, and more. Destroy your opponents' sanity! Better yet, steal it. But watch out for Cthulhu -- when he comes up, he takes sanity from everyone! 18 glass Sanity marbles are included. Lose all your marbles and your're mad. The last sane cultist wins . . . unless everyone goes mad together. Then Cthulhu wins!
Cthulhu Dice plays in 5 to 10 minutes, and is fun for 2 to 6 players.
One large custom die, 18 glass marbles, baggie, and rules. Stock #131327, UPC 8-37654-32158-4. $6.95.
+6 Bag o' Munchkin Level Counters Set 2
Stop Carrying All Those Pennies!
Six more big, easy-to-read level counters for Munchkin . . . in six more great Munchkin flavors! And of course there's a special rule!
Special Rule
If you are using a level counter that matches the set (or one of the sets) you are playing, start the game at Level 2 rather than Level 1! Roll the die before the game. The high roller gets to pick his level counter first. If the order matters after that, go in descending order of rolls.
Six level counters in a plastic bag. Stock #5541, UPC 8-37654-32151-5. $9.95.
