To anyone that values their cards.

In recent weeks, we've had a lot of people losing their cards. Whether lost or stolen, everyone needs to pay attention to their own belongings at all times. Would you leave money on the table unattended? Think of your cards as money. They have value, and you wouldn't want them to be stolen. Usually when someone comes up to me and asks me if we have found something, I ask them where they were or what they were doing. Almost every reply started with "I left them..." This is where the problem is.… Continue

Lost Deck @ Today's TGIF

If anyone has accidentally taken a clear deck box with a Yu-Gi-Oh! deck in it, please call us at 791-2345 or post it here in this thread. If anyone has intentionally taken this deck, please return it. Stealing cards/decks just ruins a game for everyone especially with such a tight community we have here in Hawaii. Either way, I'm sure the owner of the deck would greatly appreciate the return of his deck. Continue
