Bob Cosner of Bob's Baseball Cards in Des Moines, Iowa saw the news that Upper Deck is granting an exclusive period on its Shaman King TCG to Blockbuster Video (see 'Shaman King TCG Exclusive to Blockbuster') and wonders if they will be providing the tournament support that he had planned:

Real nice, Upper Deck.  You tell us the new Shaman King TCG will ship to the hobby first, and now we find out Blockbuster Video gets it first!  Will Blockbuster be holding Shaman King tournaments?  They better, because I am canceling my orders and when customers ask where to play Shaman King, I will send them to the Blockbuster a couple of blocks down the street.  I will tell them that they sell the product, so they must be having tournaments!

Unbelievable!
