Asking LinkedIn for a favor, and owning the reason I need one. Back at GAMMA I sat down and played a demo of the Palworld Official Card Game. It's Bushiroad, it's built on an IP that already has a massive audience, and the demo caravan is hitting 200+ stores worldwide right now. I walked away thinking "this is going to move." Then IZZISCON ate my entire calendar, and I never placed the pre-order. That's on me. Not distribution, not the publisher — I was heads-down running an event and let a buying window close while I wasn't looking. Every operator I know has a version of this story, but that doesn't make it less annoying. So: if you're a distributor rep, a Bushiroad contact, or a retailer who over-ordered and wants to move some allocation, I'd love to hear from you. DMs are open. And if you're running a shop and you've been putting off your own pre-order list because you're buried in something else — go check it today. Right now. I'll wait. https://lnkd.in/gSD6d8aM
