Offical Launch - "Friday Night Specials"

So after reviewing a lot of feedback from patrons...

I am going to try something new to spice up the benefits for patrons interested in purchasing collectibles. 

Every Friday Night @ 9:00 PM EST i will be running a "FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL" that will be from one of the following card games. 

Pokemon

Flesh and Blood

Weiss

Magic The Gathering

Force of will

Vanguard

BuddyFight

Pricing on each Friday will be taken from Ebay/Tcgplayer and then undercut. 

Every "Friday Night Special" will be at 9:00 PM EST, and will be in the format of commenting on the post if you are interested. Then after i reply you can send funds. This is due to the fact, these are going to be more limited in quantity items. (50-250) patrons max depending on the "Friday Night Special" . I will start at the first comment and go down the list based on the time stamp.


All of these "Friday night Specials" do not count towards any other purchases or limits and are open to all $10+ Patrons in the USA.

The regular patron product page on the pinned post on the main page will be the same and this does not impact any standard boxes, or new release items.


Many patrons have been wanting more variety and some different types of items to buy.

This is going to allow me the ability to offer all kinds of smaller batch items. I have made a list and prepared the next 10 fridays, and i think its going to add a lot of fun and give people something to try and predict and guess whats coming.


It is literally going to be random and no information will be given out in advance on the product or pricing. 


"Friday Night Specials" will start @9:00 PM EST and end in 24 hours or until sold out. Whichever occurs first. No exceptions or extensions.


~Questions and Answers~

1Q Can i buy every friday night?

1A Yes, you can buy every friday and still buy your cheap standard boxes and new mtg releases


2Q Do I need to actually buy anyting as a patron?

2A No, many patrons never buy anything and simply like the videos and asking me questions. Not buying ever is just fine.


3Q Will any of these "Friday Night Specials" be used for box openings?

3A No, all items will ship Factory Sealed


4Q If i really like the Item chosen, can i buy a LOT?

4A No, Sorry, limit 1 bundle on each Friday Night Special. The intention is not to sell tons of product, but to spread it among as many patrons as possible, while keeping the shipping box size/weight at an ideal price range.


5Q Shipping Stuff.....problems and concerns

5A All orders over $750.00 ALWAYS get signature confirmation, BUT you can add $3 to any small order to get signature added to your package


6Q This seems like an interesting idea...whats really going on?

6A Honestly, a LOT of patrons are "bored" with the standard boxes and want some spice. If you are actually reading this, then you will discover, many "Friday Night Specials" will have a bonus item in each package not listed in the sale similiar to the secret lair business model. 


7Q Will you give me an example of a F.N.S. item?

7A Sorry no, absolutly no hints of any kind will be disclosed in advance. I recomend simply setting an alarm on your calendar for each week to just check the post. 


8Q Shipping Method?

8A All kits/bundles for Friday Night Specials will ship USPS Priority Mail with Stop Tape from a quarantine warehouse for 14 days from Tesla 


9Q How come my tracking doesnt update? 

9A Keep in mind, due to the amount of mail and dollar amount of the mail i ship, i do NOT drop my mail off at a post office. I have a private truck taking the packages direct to a USPS Sorting Facility, so i skip the first couple USPS scans on packages.

It's even worse for me being in Mountain Time. "Why do you keep having to go to the bathroom in the middle of dinner??"

David Brosseau

Or just bring back Ye Olde Intermissions that movies used to have!

David Brosseau

This turned out to be a must buy 3x totaling just under 500$ purchase so not sure this fits your description. Too rich for me and I’m a 15$ Patreon.

Hey Rudy, is it possible you could open this up to $5 patrons to? This is exactly the kind of thing lower income patrons could have access to. We often get priced out of your other sales because it's sold by the case or by quantities too high. This program would be a great way to allow patrons who don't have the money to buy cases of product from you to get in on the fun, and order product from you that is within our price range. I can afford a $100 box, but a case of double masters is simply out of the question. I can afford a set of each commander deck, but you sold those by the case to. Not all of us are fancy plastic surgeons for the third dynasty, of the fancy ivory tower castle with a left lean on it. Some of use are still stuck in the rat wheel. But we do have some money, and we want in on the fun!

Waiting for flesh and blood

Yes please!

yes please me me me

Hi

Boxes of stop tape sealed in stop tape

James Schuette

hmmmmm

Ralph Brinton

Stop tape.

Aww jeez, what're the odds I become a Patron this morning and Rudy does something cool today!

Will Bradshaw

Or a boat!

Chris A

My guess, a coupon for .99 tacos, just saying...

Daniel M Davis

It could even be a boat!

CeilioRiverwind

Oh oh oh.... I'm freaking out! This is Christmas it maybe a Nintendo it maybe socks.....

Chris A

Anyone else start refreshing their patreon feed already?

I think it has to do with international mail having issues atm. I know most don’t mind paying the shipping but when it takes more than a month just to get to you it really sucks. What’s worse is when it gets lost due to no ones fault but the carrier. Rudy can’t afford to keep dealing with lost packages he has no control over.

Gold

Friday special: One 53' trailer of Ikoria pre-release boxes coming up!

Chris Doersen

My guess is that it's going to be Ikoria pre release case for $23,456,789

Chris A

Anyone know how to sell a kidney haha

Nick Vovk

I feel immobilized due to my spend on cardboard and cardboard related products

Nick Vovk

Love it!!!

Violent Ken

Any special reason why this is for US residents only? Much stuff of this seems to be non-magic which I thought is eligibile for international patrons as well. Frankly spoken I am a little bit disappointed since it feels more and more that international patrons are always in disadvantage when it comes to specials or products in general :( - especially because we are always behind of every sale in terms of time shift. Hate to think about it but I am really considering cancelling the patreon support since every perk you offer seem to be for US residents only.....

SJ

Can a $5 dollar pleb buy Flesh and Blood content?

you had me at weiss. have to cancel friday night movies with the wife

or the unset

I hope it's some of those pre-release kits Rudy just showed off in today's video.

Just wanted to say that I love this idea since I also love pokemon! Thanks Rudy!

Good question. I imagine it will vary heavily depending on the product each week. Hazarding a guess, I'm going with a typical range from $200-600 each week. But we shall see in about eight hours!

Chris Doersen

I might have missed it, but is there any kind of price point for this yet?

well this sounds fun.

Sangmin Lee

I like this idea. Watch my wallet go brrrrr

Giving the people what they want! Thanks Rudy

The stop tape from 14 day quarantine Tesla warehouse, that got a chuckle. Looking forward to variety!

Jalena W

can't wait!

Thanks Rudy, this sounds fun!

Robert Sutphin

Awww Man..... Im working night shift first time ever tonight.... & you know the first one in the gate will be the Deluxe Super-Chalupa Special......

Very cool idea, Mr. Rudy. Can't wait to see what's up your sleeve!

Oh boy I can't wait for the stop tape to be one of these weekly specials!

dustin saunders

Secret Lair Rudy edition!

It starts tonight?

Nice, I like it.

alarm set

Why do i get the feeling rudy is going to start using stop tape as his official tape

Just set my alarm and called it "Friday Night Timmys Tacos".

Scott Pysher

I just became a Rudy patron today, and I am real excited for this. Hi friends =]

Will Bradshaw

👌👍

Very cool idea! I’m hoping for a Faxanadu NES cartridge that’s signed by you as a bonus item! :D

Josh Hall

This is awesome and fun, thanks for keeping sales SPICY Rudy!

Richie

Friday Night Special: Rudy's left over socks!

After all these years, I finally have Friday night plans! HOW YA LIKE ME NOW, MOM?

MTG Pack A Day

Fingers crossed for new Foil Stop Tape.

I like this idea more than I like 🌮

Underworld Games

You sir, just changed the game. Looking forward to this.

Epic

Steven

This sounds cool, will there be one today?

Joe Chavers

If there is stop tape, how can we open the boxes? Will go tape come later?

Rudy do you know if the usps distro is able to scan a firm sheet for you? Should be simple to create with your shipping software and would solve the issue of tracking not updating. Also this sounds like an excellent and exciting idea for all patrons. Anyone complaining after this is insufferable and will never be happy about anything.

Can Canadians get in on the goods?

Jason Lieberman

Thank you so much rudy. I appreciate your time and dedication to the patrons.

Daniel Shipley

Half eaten taco sighed by Rudy is the ultimate bonus I want

Carl

Gentleman, you have my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

Thanks for you hard work Rudy looking forward to seeing what they will be!

Michael

Thanks Rudy! This is a sweet idea!

Wphlfry

Cool, I like this idea.

This will be fun..... until my wife wonders what the hell I’m doing in the bathroom every Friday night at 9 PM!!

Steven Keith

ALL BOOSTER BOXES COME WITH A FOIL TACO

DuGiOh

Rudy, could you consider adjusting the time of the FNS a little earlier or later? In eastern hemisphere it will be late night. Couple hours earlier would cover the whole Europe.

Fan67

This is so awesome! Rudy, you're a great guy!!!😁

I thin this might be fun

Bob S

This is satisfying.

International shipping will be available? (except mtg products of course)

rafaeltl

My guess is this will start tomorrow! MTG: Whatever you are offering yes to all F&B: Whatever you are offering yes to all and then some Pokemon: My kids say yes or else I need to find a bot to just Auto order the three above!

BrewCrew75

This sounds really cool. I haven’t bought anything in probably over a year and all my fun money is tied up on Tesla yolo calls. Once they go green I’m going to have to cash out for this.

Also, even I miss the nostalgia of Friday Night Magic. Card shops, and deck teching until 12:00 AM in the parking lot & living off little Cesars and genuinely enjoying card games as a whole. Card Culture is unique. And hope we can keep it alive

Brian

Any love for international patron?

This is really cool Rudy. Awesome of you to do this.

Many Magic the Gathering Patron’s ask the question, is it worth it to buy “Friday Night Specials”? Yes.

Brian

I’m super excited for this. Seems like a fun idea. 🤘🏻

Me Likey

Nothing like the smell of fresh stop tape in the morning 😂

Can we just buy the stop tape? I dont need more cards.

Really curious to see what's coming!

Jeremy Guill

This is a great idea Rudy! Can't wait to see whata on deck

It's Thursday....

Can not wait to see the goodies. This also seems like a good way to get those who don't have experience with other products a foot in the water try

Hell yeah I am stoked to buy this

I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that VIP Collector’s Edition Timmy Stop Tape

Nicholas Speakman

Pretty stoked for this!

So, what you're saying is that you're selling 31 different flavors of STOP tape? (does anybody else think it is hilarious how much of a meme stop tape has become?)

Andrew Shelansky

Well this is nice. I can give it a go :)))

He said no hints but that might, in fact, be a hint. This Rudy guy - he's up to something.

Mike Radawiec

Your packages have STOP tape. That's for Timmy's. Over here we want GO tape.

JimmyTheSaint

Awesome!

Yams.M@hotmail.com

This sounds awesome Rudy. Looking forward to this taco supreme.

Sounds good. Sure to bring me much frustration as I miss out on sale after sale because I'm slack like that.

This will be so much fun!

When you make the post, are you going to do so with alerts enabled, or is this going to be a "be there, or be Timmy" super-secret squirrel sort of thing?

Now that'sa one spicy-a taco!

I often get bored of spending money on things i want but dont need...i feel like a kardashian

ye ssir, you will be good to go !

Rudy The Magic Guy

This sounds really cool, thanks for trying new things!

Does Puerto Rico count as patrons in the USA? I’m aiming that FAB moment if I can.

William Arce

He Launched the Fryday Night SALE by not Selling anything, Bummer*

lol...best comment of the day

Rudy The Magic Guy

I like it. Exactly something I was hoping for.

<3 I'm going to be setting an alarm for any Flesh and Blood specials

Gojira

Secret Lairs that ship within a few days? What a novel idea!

Bill Weston

You should rename this to "Alpha Investment Weekly Friday Secret Lair"

Wantedra

You sir win the internets today!

Matthew Dykman

first person to find the hidden message, good job Stephen!

Rudy The Magic Guy

This sounds fun!

Matthew Dykman

Dammit Rudy you take enough of my money stop trying to make me homeless!

Gold

I hope the bonus items are hot sauce packets for my tacos

This awesome. I cant wait to check out the crazy specials

This is exciting can’t wait to see when it’s released!

Thomas

Wow, thank you Lord Ruby!

Jeffrey Ho

I'm super interested for whats in store. Getting burned out on the same old mtg rotation.

Mr. Batsquatch

This is what you get for being up too late Rudy. Haven’t wild ideas, gonna lose your ass on shipping😂

But how do I preorder?

Robert Jorgenson

Alarm set!

Matthew McCrae

Sweet!

Ready for it!

Awesome!
