Offical Launch - "Friday Night Specials"
Added 2020-08-28 05:12:55 +0000 UTCSo 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??"

2020-09-01 05:22:59 +0000 UTCThis 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.
2020-08-31 17:03:59 +0000 UTCHey 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!
2020-08-31 09:02:26 +0000 UTCWaiting for flesh and blood

2020-08-29 00:52:13 +0000 UTCAnyone else start refreshing their patreon feed already?
2020-08-29 00:34:05 +0000 UTCI 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.

2020-08-29 00:25:04 +0000 UTCFriday special: One 53' trailer of Ikoria pre-release boxes coming up!

Violent Ken
2020-08-28 20:50:13 +0000 UTCAny 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.....

2020-08-28 19:04:51 +0000 UTCI hope it's some of those pre-release kits Rudy just showed off in today's video.
2020-08-28 18:45:44 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say that I love this idea since I also love pokemon! Thanks Rudy!
2020-08-28 17:09:40 +0000 UTCGood 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
2020-08-28 16:50:00 +0000 UTCI might have missed it, but is there any kind of price point for this yet?
2020-08-28 16:14:37 +0000 UTCwell this sounds fun.
Sangmin Lee
2020-08-28 15:49:26 +0000 UTCI like this idea. Watch my wallet go brrrrr
2020-08-28 15:41:03 +0000 UTCGiving the people what they want! Thanks Rudy
2020-08-28 15:25:05 +0000 UTCThe stop tape from 14 day quarantine Tesla warehouse, that got a chuckle. Looking forward to variety!

2020-08-28 13:16:17 +0000 UTCWhy do i get the feeling rudy is going to start using stop tape as his official tape
2020-08-28 12:55:46 +0000 UTCJust set my alarm and called it "Friday Night Timmys Tacos".

2020-08-28 12:52:38 +0000 UTCI just became a Rudy patron today, and I am real excited for this. Hi friends =]

2020-08-28 12:05:57 +0000 UTCThis sounds cool, will there be one today?
Joe Chavers
2020-08-28 11:56:41 +0000 UTCIf there is stop tape, how can we open the boxes? Will go tape come later?
2020-08-28 11:43:29 +0000 UTCRudy 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.
2020-08-28 11:32:56 +0000 UTCCan Canadians get in on the goods?
Jason Lieberman
2020-08-28 11:32:53 +0000 UTCThank you so much rudy. I appreciate your time and dedication to the patrons.

DuGiOh
2020-08-28 10:23:54 +0000 UTCRudy, 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.

2020-08-28 09:55:56 +0000 UTCThis is satisfying.
2020-08-28 09:25:11 +0000 UTCInternational shipping will be available? (except mtg products of course)
rafaeltl
2020-08-28 09:01:56 +0000 UTCMy 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
2020-08-28 08:09:39 +0000 UTCThis 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.
2020-08-28 06:52:04 +0000 UTCAlso, 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

2020-08-28 06:43:08 +0000 UTCAny love for international patron?
2020-08-28 06:36:47 +0000 UTCThis is really cool Rudy. Awesome of you to do this.
2020-08-28 06:33:08 +0000 UTCMany Magic the Gathering Patron’s ask the question, is it worth it to buy “Friday Night Specials”? Yes.
Brian
2020-08-28 06:30:59 +0000 UTCI’m super excited for this. Seems like a fun idea. 🤘🏻

2020-08-28 06:02:17 +0000 UTCCan we just buy the stop tape? I dont need more cards.
2020-08-28 06:02:04 +0000 UTCReally curious to see what's coming!

2020-08-28 06:01:23 +0000 UTCThis is a great idea Rudy! Can't wait to see whata on deck
2020-08-28 06:00:20 +0000 UTCIt's Thursday....
2020-08-28 05:58:51 +0000 UTCCan 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
2020-08-28 05:57:38 +0000 UTCHell yeah I am stoked to buy this
2020-08-28 05:56:24 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to get my hands on some of that VIP Collector’s Edition Timmy Stop Tape
Nicholas Speakman
2020-08-28 05:49:09 +0000 UTCPretty stoked for this!
2020-08-28 05:37:55 +0000 UTCSo, 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
2020-08-28 05:36:58 +0000 UTCWell this is nice. I can give it a go :)))
2020-08-28 05:33:23 +0000 UTCHe said no hints but that might, in fact, be a hint. This Rudy guy - he's up to something.

2020-08-28 05:32:26 +0000 UTCYour packages have STOP tape. That's for Timmy's. Over here we want GO tape.

2020-08-28 05:28:41 +0000 UTCSounds good. Sure to bring me much frustration as I miss out on sale after sale because I'm slack like that.
2020-08-28 05:28:07 +0000 UTCThis will be so much fun!
2020-08-28 05:27:08 +0000 UTCWhen 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?
2020-08-28 05:26:28 +0000 UTCNow that'sa one spicy-a taco!
2020-08-28 05:24:55 +0000 UTCI often get bored of spending money on things i want but dont need...i feel like a kardashian
