It’s another exciting week for hobbyists and collectors! We Love Collectibles is buzzing with news on some of the latest releases, from highly anticipated TCG crossovers to fresh Pokémon hauls and new table top adventures. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening and what you can find at your favourite Kent hobby store.
An Epic Crossover: Magic:
The Gathering x Final Fantasy Has Landed!
The moment many have been waiting for is here – the Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy Universes Beyond set has officially launched (June 13th)! This incredible collaboration brings iconic characters, summons, and spells from across the beloved Final Fantasy video game series into the world of MTG.
The excitement for this release has been phenomenal, with players eager to see how legends like Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa, and Bahamut translate onto Magic cards.
The initial wave of Final Fantasy products, including sought-after Collector Boosters, Starter Kits, Bundles, and Commander Decks, saw immense interest from dedicated fans and were snapped up incredibly quickly here at WLC.
While our first allocation of these specific Final Fantasy items has flown off the shelves (a testament to their popularity!), we want to assure all Magic players that We Love Collectibles remains your go-to for a wide range of other MTG products. From the latest Standard sets to Commander Essentials and valuable singles, our Magic: The Gathering section is always well-stocked.
Also, did we mention we’re now a MTG play store! So come down and play some magic with friends at WLC!
We are hopeful that more Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy products will become available in the future. The best way to stay informed about potential restocks or new arrivals for this and other TCG releases, join our Discord and follow our social media channels!
Pokémon TCG Universe:
Fresh Singles, Collections & Japanese News!
The Pokémon world never stands still, and we’ve got some great updates for Trainers:
Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals Singles Are Here!
Following the successful launch of Destined Rivals, we’ve been busy sorting through a mountain of cards! A fantastic selection of singles from Destined Rivals is now available both online and in our Margate store.
Whether you’re hunting for that specific Pokémon ex to complete your deck, a stunning Special Illustration Rare (like Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex or Cynthia’s Garchomp ex), or just filling out your collection, now’s the time to browse. Check out the range here: Destined Rivals Singles
A Champion's Hoard:
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection Box!
The powerful bond between Champion Cynthia and her Garchomp is celebrated in the fantastic Pokémon TCG: Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection Box. These boxes are packed with foil promo cards, booster packs, and other great collectibles. We recently offered our Discord community first dibs on a limited supply of these – just another example of the perks of being connected with WLC! Keep an eye on our site for availability of this and other premium collections.
News from Japan: Black Bolt & White Flare Arrive!
Heads up, Pokémon TCG enthusiasts! The latest Japanese sets, Black Bolt & White Flare, were released on June 6th. These sets are incredibly exciting as they feature every Pokémon from the Unova region as an Illustration Rare or Special Illustration Rare!
The artwork coming out of these is stunning. We Love Collectibles will be working to secure Japanese products, and their subsequent English equivalents (also titled Black Bolt & White Flare and due later), in store as soon as possible. Stay tuned to our channels for updates!
