Subspace Communique 6-9-2015

Congratulations, Graduates of 2015! What next?!? By now, most ceremonies are over with or are soon to be over with and those of you who are graduating will face the next question of adulthood; do I put away those things of my childhood or do I embrace them? Ha! I'm a 46 year old kid and I love it! Granted, I let go of a lot things when I joined the Navy right out of high school, and, boy, do I regret it. The loss of things, not the Navy. I've played catch up since then and I'm pretty happy. Now, I'm talking a little bit about collecting things, but I'm also talking about habits that make us happy, too. We can be adults and still wear our silly hats. We can still have kids and buy a house and dress strange on the weekends. We're geeks! So, as you go forth to find your fame and fortune, don't forget what makes you happy!

Graduate Sale! All of this week will be our Graduation Sale! I began with just a sale for High School Graduates but then I realized that there were pre-K and Kindergarten grads and GED grads and Trade School grads and grads of programs we didn't even know about. So, then I turned into Oprah and not just you, but you and you and you get a 20% discount on your entire purchase this week. This sale will run through Saturday June 13, 2015.

New Event!

We would like to invite everyone out tonight for our Previews Party! It's a new once a month meeting to let you wander through the catalogs and give us ideas on what you would like to see in the shop. Most folks aren't aware at how many items are offered up every month in the Previews Catalog and we are looking for feedback on what you might like to see in the shop.

So come join us, eat some pizza, drink some drinks and tell us your deepest desires . . . . .

A Galaxy Called Dallas hosts first monthly art night

With the help of Eli Luna, Alex Flores, and Thomas Branch, A Galaxy Called Dallas will host it's first monthly art night on June 1, 2015, in Garland. The idea was brought to us at Galaxy Dallas by Alex and Eli and we couldn't wait to do it. Basically, you bring paper and pencils, or whatever you want to work with, and we draw for a few hours. The night will have a theme or maybe not, you can help us decide. At the end of the night, we collect your piece and $5 (each if you wish to submit more) and when you return the following month, you will get a copy of our new magazine, Warp 11! No critiquing, no rejection letters, nothing but "published!"

Go to www.Warp11zine.com for more info and join us for some drawing fun Monday night.

Subscription Changes

We've changed our subscription service a little bit, by giving you a some new perks and clearing up some blurry parts. Here's the details:

• HOW IT WORKS •

Give us your list by filling out a form in the shop, emailing us, or Facebook message. As they come in, we'll put them in a box for you and wait for you to pick them up. Even if you only collect 1 title a month, we’ll pull it for you! We'll give you 20% off the cover and you get 10% off of anything else in the store. This does not stack on already discounted or sale priced items. Here’s the one catch: If it’s not on your list, there’s NO DISCOUNT. The 20% OFF of your comics ONLY applies to the titles on your list. If you add it to your list, then you get the discount. If you’re just trying it out, that's cool. You can drop it anytime that you want, we just ask that you pay for the ones that we've pulled for you. This whole thing is free, we just ask that you pay for what you order.

 • FREE TO JOIN • NO DEPOSIT • NO MINIMUM •

We want to help you get the comics and collectibles that you want, we just ask that you come in at least once a month and try to keep your list under control. Even if you just make it in once a month, that's great, but if you're pulling 10 comics a week, but only buying 10 a month, then you may need to reassess your list. If you've run into a problem with job, space, life, just let us know. Call, email, or stop in and let us know what the situation is and we can work with you. As long as you keep in touch, we’re happy.

• 40% OFF CORRESPONDING COLLECTIONS •

Stealing an idea from other comic shops, as a subscriber you qualify for a 40% preorder discount on any collection where you’ve subscribed to the single issues from us. For example, if you’ve subscribed to Saga #13-18, you can preorder Saga Vol 3 for 40% off! Best of all, you don’t need to sign up for this additional service, it’s free with your subscription sign-up!

Wanna Pre-Order Clash Of Rebellions Boosters?

Just received an email from our distributor soliciting pre-orders for Yu-gi-oh!'s Clash of Rebellions . If this is something that your interested in, email or message me for price.

Clash Of Rebellions Booster Solicitation

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. is proud to bring you the 3rd core booster release for 2015, Clash of Rebellions. This new 1st Edition 100-card booster set is where the new Red-Eyes cards make a big comeback, fiery new Deck themes burst onto the stage, and more new cards for the latest Decks!

Red-Eyes Monsters make a big return after almost two years behind the scenes! Clash of Rebellions introduces brand new cards to go with Joey’s “Red-Eyes” dragon theme from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! animated series. Many of these cards will have synergy with cards from Legendary Collection 4: Joey’s World.

Clash of Rebellions also presents brand new Deck themes that’ll light up the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournament scene: fiery new Igknight Monsters burn up their own men to Summon gigantic soldiers, flowery Aromages pump up your Life Points and gain extra powers while you’re ahead, and a brand new Deck theme based on one of the most popular American fairy tales ever known that will continue to be supported in subsequent sets.

In addition to new themes, Clash of Rebellions also supplies Duelists with more new cards for the latest Decks, like Infernoids, Raidraptors, Performapals, Superheavy Samurai, Toon, and more. Finally, Duelists will also be able to use Xyz Monsters for Synchro Summoning by giving them Levels.

The Clash of Rebellions booster set includes 100 cards: 48 Common Cards, 20 Rare Cards, 14 Super Rare Cards, 10 Ultra Rare Cards, and 8 Secret Rare Cards.

The deadline to order is May 21, 2015 with a release date of August 7, 2015.

A Galaxy Called Dallas is the nexus of all things geeky located just north of Downtown Garland on the Southeast corner of Belt Line Road and North Garland Avenue. You can reach us at 972-530-2600.
