TTT fully stocked + some orders may ship during vacation period

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

The Truest Test L5R expansion is now fully stocked.

A limited number of orders involving only cards from the new expansion will be filled during the vacation period. If you need The Truest Test cards soon, feel free to place an order. These will be treated as first come, first serve, so if the cards run low while on vacation, some orders may not ship until June 4th.

Major Lotus legal tournaments this summer

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Kotei season over? Are you already packing away your Lotus legal cards to make way for Samurai Edition? Wait! The tournament season is far from over!

AEG has posted its list of major tournaments during the 2nd leg of the Race for the Throne. These include two tournaments during the weekend of June 1-3: The Village of Demons storyline tournament in Collinsville, IL, and the Test of the Ruby Champion in Luxembourg. Then there is the Test of the Obsidian Champion on Long Island, NY (June 9th), which has already been announced to be the first major event at which The Truest Test will be legal for play.

There are more Lotus legal events around the world, including the U.K., Greece, Ohio, and events at both Origins and GenCon Indianapolis. If you need cards for these tournaments, DocAngst.com is more than happy to be your supplier. We will work with you for any express shipping options you might require — if you don’t see them on the site, just email us.

If you want to get cards for either of the June 1-3 tournaments, act quickly, as this site will be on vacation from 5/25-6/3.

Monday, May 14th, 2007

As of today, Monday, May 14th, 2007, the United States Postal Service has increased its postal rates across the board, including some new classifications for types of mail created as a response to the rise in popularity of online sales of goods. These rates are now reflected in the site code of DocAngst.com.

A quick and incomplete summary of how this affects you, the customer:

  • Insurance and Registered Mail rates increase
  • Priority Mail and Express Mail rates increase
