JoyRide Entertainment staff to attend Pre-releases across the country

4.19.06  -  Eight months ago, when Fullmetal Alchemist TCG launched, JoyRide Entertainment sent several staff members out to stores around the nation to celebrate in over a dozen Launch Parties. With A Hero's Passing Pre-releases coming up next week (April 28-30), JoyRide will be sending its staff members out once again to celebrate the new expansion set, the biggest for FMA TCG yet, and they'll bring a bunch of extra goodies along for the ride!

Each staff member will be bringing their staff cards along, but that's just the beginning. They'll also bring along boxes of sealed A Hero's Passing cards, various promo cards, and even two Transmutation binders per tournament: one for the winner and one for a random player in each tournament. And, of course, the staffers will be available for gunslinging matches (time permitting), allowing players to challenge them for the rights to win a valuable Gunslinging card - if they can beat the staffer's tricked-out deck!

Here's the list of locations where you can meet the JoyRide staffers:
