Post where you demo!

[Eien]

Want people to know where you are showing off CFV, post it here.

I am demoing this Saturday (Dec. 10th) at:

MVP Sports and Games
1027 Dillerville Road
Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603

I'll be there from 1pm to 5pm. I might stay longer if enough people show interest.

[FlavaFlave]

My Local Store in Germany is a official distributor and got the half decks and the Blaster Blade Promo.Im so happy. And everyone who asks at the Shop will be demoed.So awesome!

[lested]

Im going to start demoing in Warrior's Hall Caguas Puerto Rico soon. If someone is interested in helping or learning send me a pm.

[searchingduelist]

im going to be doing it at noobie games in Miami beach, Florida on saturdays probably every other one
just a little bump for this thread and to get ppl to help

[Amuki]

I do it on weekdays at teddynme Brampton the store already front lines the product but I'm there telling people about it and playing

[searchingduelist]

so hello to every one, i will be doing a demo this saturday the 14th at
Noobie Games
726 W 41st St 2nd Floor
Miami Beach, FL 33140

if anyone is interested and lives around here

also i wanted to ask for some advice, as many of you may know this saturday is the sneak peak of Order of Chaos. usually there are around 50 ppl at my locals for sneaks, so i was wondering if you guys think it would be a good idea to demo at a time like this ? or is everyone going to be to focused on ygo

[Amuki]

Its still a good time in my opinion. You could even use your vvanguard as trade bait if you hook people XD
But yes some people are really fixated on their ygos but the more casual people will probably show interest so don't worry especially with that big a turnout imo

[searchingduelist]

ahh that could be a good idea (the trade) didnt think of that
im going to do it regardless i just dont want it to be like i go there and no one cares you know? Im also going for the sneak to see if i get anything that i can sell off or just trade away cards in general but my main goal is to get ppl interested and the store to think of becoming a distributor

[Amuki]

If you can manage to convince people than it just makes it easier to get the store to stock it. If enough of you bother the owner and she that there is value in the store getting the game then you are pretty set =)

Not exactly demoing but I intend to sell boxes at my Yugioh Locals to try to get people into the game.

[Chaz03]

I plan to demo at a place I'm still looking to find xD

Also, I'm not sure if anyone noticed but, boy did this (http://www.heartofthecards.com/cf/buy.html) list get much bigger! :D

I can care less about them money-whores. Who in Gods name would pay 100 bucks for a box?!? No thanks.

[Redsmas]

Toywiz is $99.99 for a box >_<

Additional Comment:

Ninja'd twice today

[evil0108]

Guys ideal808 has vanguard too :D

[3XXXDDD]

Look at the big picture! ToyWiz is the start of sales in thriving chain stores that reach out and could ensnare a much broader audience.

ToyWiz is just the first, Hopefully Symths could pick it up here in Ireland though I would be unsure with the whole getting rid of YGO.

Oh, Ideal eh? No more crazy shipping prices for me! :D

[Chaz03]

I E-Mailed this awesome website called IDeal808 a while back regarding getting into selling Vanguard and they just wrote back with a "We will show this to our Market people" Since then nothing has happened.... :(

[evil0108]

there shipping has gotten better :P for 50$ in just singles its free shipping so if they have vanguard singles it will be worth it

[unionlord]

I get mine from Anime King. 79.99 a box and 5.00 shipping with priority. "A US Seller"

I will be doing a demo with my wife at the Order of Chaos Sneak Preview on 1-15-12 @ 2:00pm

Galactic Goods
343 W. Esplanade Ave.
Kenner, La 70065

[Redsmas]

If ideal gets them i'll probably buy a box, if the price is right.
(sorry about all the topic derailment)

[evil0108]

it kinda isnt off topic cause u think of online stores get these starts a chain then maybe stores will come in here and psot bout demos as well

[3XXXDDD]

Well still it is nice to see the game spreading out into not-as-much-but-still-kind-of-a-niché-market.

[searchingduelist]

If ideal gets them i'll probably buy a box, if the price is right.
(sorry about all the topic derailment)


its pretty good 77.50 per box and they have 16 in stock and Fedex is like 10 for me for 1 box and thats 2 day shipping

Additional Comment:

it kinda isnt off topic cause u think of online stores get these starts a chain then maybe stores will come in here and psot bout demos as well

also i notice all the demand on here for online shopping so convincing shops to get in stock and sell online would probably be more profitable for them and get them to stock up more

[Chaz03]

YES! Thanks to me, Ideal now sells Vanguard :)

[Seiko]

I have a question for demos.

We ourselves in charge of the demo need to have the cards? Or does the store contact the distributor and the distributor will send demo kits?

[Amuki]

The store finds a distributor and contacts them, then they end the store the cards, usually the store has to pay though =\

[Seiko]

okay, thank you for the information.

[Amuki]

okay, thank you for the information.

your welcome =)

[Redsmas]

Demo went kinda alright today. I played one person and several people seemed interested enough to go do their own research into the game, someone else was gonna play but left before we got to it.

[Beowitz]

Though I know it wasn't the best result, congradulations on what success you did get. It seems like a good start, especially if people looked into it and liked what they saw. Definitely better then no one showing interest.

[searchingduelist]

i just got back and it was hard to demo because you dont really know how to approach ppl about it, but i got 3 ppl to play and 2 to go watch the anime (one of which works there and was looking for a new game to play, LUCKY) i also talked to the owner of the store and got him to keep a look out for it, i just need to go more often now

[Geo Stephens]

Its not hard to demo if you make them approach you.


Setting Up
First, hopefully, you are friends, or friendly with the store owner. You don't want to try and demo at a store where you don't know everyone. That being said, if your great with people, and charismatic, then branching out to new stores might not be an issue, once you got your gimmick down.

Ask the shop owner for a booth/table, and tell him what you plan on doing. If you make a sign with cardboard and posterboard, like 3 dollars, and just paste some print outs on it, and some catchy phrases, you'll grab attention. Sitting alone at a table with a few cards, and no one walks up. Be nice and greet people as they walk by. The last thing people wanna see at a demo, is some kid on his cell looking moppy. To throw a demo, you need a certain personality, we are all capable of it, but you need to keep a smile on that face.

Also, see if the store doesn't mind you isolating a table. I know my store, and others have the game area with lots of connected tables. See if you can set one out in the open somewhere, where you WILL grab attention. Think what you see at tournies, such as regionals or city champs. Organizers always have their little island away from everyone, but easy to see and reach.

Try to do a time slot plenty of people will be there. Don't get something that is having a big event, like regionals, but hit up the locals time slot, so people see you, so you actually get clientele.

What You Need
Materials -Make signs, print off official vanguard stuff. Have signs and nice mats. Hell, you can even make flyers. Most Shops have flyers for events. Ask the owner and see if he doesn't mind. Pass them out, and leave some at the register. Tape one on the wall.

Time- You want to make sure you have plenty of time. You don't want mom coming and saying its time to go in the middle of a demo. Expect overage, and getting their early.

Knowledge -Make sure you know the game inside and out. Have rules on hands.

Product- Bring a box with product, like a booster box, and two of the trial decks, SEALED. Have your own trial decks, for play, testing, and demoing, and some singles presented nicely in a binder to show people. You want to have unopened product to showcase, and this will cost extra, but its worth it. You also what to have your product, so people can see the cards and clans and stuff, and ask questions. Also stuff so people can play and test. Multiple trial decks is a good idea too, so multiple demo games can happen, try to limit it to you and another game though, so you can fully handle the situation and pace of both games.

Does this Work?
You bet it does.
Not only will people be interested when you hold yourself professionally, but the store will really love your initiative. The signature sheet will give them initiative to stock product and throw tournies, which in turn makes them money, and helps us as a community grow. This also allows you to demo this to your STORE. It lets your store know what the product is like, and is great for a resume to said store, if your interested. You can bet everyone who works at a hobby shops, plays at the hobby shop. If your someone who frequents it, you remember people who were players, that now work there. Its how you get your foot in the door.

[searchingduelist]

Okay thanks I'll do that next time I go, just without the sealed products since I'm short on money ATM but I can do trial decks and the rest of the stuff. I've been going to that locals for 2 years so I do know most of the ppl

[Geo Stephens]

Yeah, like people said, you can get your store to get a demo kit, but it takes them to contact them, and you to wait, plus the store might control the demo, and not care about it as much as you. Plus most stores are not down for paying for all that product to demo. If they were, you wouldn't have to ask, as they would be already interested and demoing it. They know how to run a business.

[searchingduelist]

well i took your advice Geo and i set up a demo for the 28th
only thing is i get back from bush gardens the 27th at around 12 or midnight have my SAT test the morning of the 28th and finally find my way to the shop around 3, i really hope i wont be to tiered

[Vanguard Veteran]

Well its only a 90minute drive out to concord lol. Wish there was a place in Sac selling. Game reminds me of duel masters. Hope it picks up steam.

[Geo Stephens]

Thats not taking my advice.

Not only is that a stupid way to do the SAT but its a stupid time to do a demo.

Your not giving yourself any time, and your going to do bad on your SAT with no study or prep time, and no sleep.

[searchingduelist]

it is honestly a stupid thing to do but i mean its already set up and this is my first SAT so i see it as a trial run hopefully ill replicate my friend who got a 2040 the day after returning from a 3 day college tour :p

[Geo Stephens]

We'll if its your first, thats ok lol.

My first time, junior year, ACT.
I was drunk(off two smirnoffs, which isn't much but I was a noob drinker)
Stayed a friends house cuz we went together, got like 3 hours of sleep
Forgot my graphing calculator at home

Got a 32.
Lowest score was 27 on science cuz I'm really bad at science but got a 35 on math, cuz I'm baller.

Didn't have to take it again, since 32 is amazing, and gets me into whatever college I want.

Sadly, I went to a bad school, nearby, and joined a frat, and wasted my life in 3 short semesters. Bad decisions ftw.

[Reon]

It wasnt MY stuff, but when I went to Comics 2 Games in KY last night for YGO, I saw someone who ordered both Trial Decks and some packs. We demo'd for a while, and there were bout 4 people playing with those 2 decks...

[bowhawk00]

anyone dragon's horde stone mountain, ga saturdays

[Jeff Jones]

woh woh woh; where at in KY? I feel like I've been to a Comics 2 games somewhere but I can't really remember XD. I suppose where 4 people isn't too much, compared to my experiance it sounds great.

[Calamitas Deus]

I wish I could demo. HobbyTown USA is the only local store, other than maybe Gauntlet Games, that would consider carrying this game. I spoke to an employee at HobbyTown USA about it, too. I hope they get certified soon.

In fact, does anyone have any advice on how to convince Bushiroad to certify them?

[Jeff Jones]

Selling starters for 17? I thought they were 20 base everywhere? Thats awesome! Do you have an online store?

I dont think the online store has been updated with Vanguard, we just got it in a day in a half ago. But if your really interested feel free to call the store and ask for more info. Hours are between 11-6 mon-sat and 12-5 sunday. Probably best to call after 1 though ^_^

Comics 2 Games is in Florence, in a center near the mall. We only had 4 since we were playing during the YGO tourney between rounds and such. The guy who brought the decks said he'd be around whenever, but I didnt get any contact info...

[Beowitz]

Curses. Though that's awesome news. Thanks for the info. I'll have to stop by there sometime

[searchingduelist]

okay so my store has started the paper work for the contract to hold the product with Bushiroad and like 7 ppl will but the starter decks and start playing so im happy with my results :D

Hello im trying to figure out the best way to get my store to start selling vanguard cards. A friend of mine and myself plan on doing demos at the store in order to get players interested but besides that i have no idea how to go about getting the store to carry the product. The store is hobbytown USA in south pointe Lincoln Nebraska we are going to be doing demos every sunday starting when the store opens at 12 playing around the yugioh and magic players till the store closes for the next 3+ weeks

I realize that. I don't see his post detailing how to demo on any of these three pages.

[Redsmas]

How are people doing demo wise?

[Reon]

I'm gonna try a quasi-demo today somewhere in Cincinnati. Spent last night and this morning downloading, and cutting out the Cardsleeve Inserts from Heart of the Cards, then filling in all the info not on the inserts (Power/Shield/Grade ability). Now I'm putting them in sleeves with MTG/YGO cards to proxy all 4 trial decks....Wont have the artwork or anything, but will still give people a jist of how the game is played.

Edit: Finished everything but Grapplers. I think 3 decks should be enough for a casual meet up though. TO ROCKIN ROOSTER/ILLUMINAUDI!

[Geo Stephens]

I wrote a nice little guide on HOW to demo a page back. Here is is.

As for finding out if you can demo, you need to talk to your local store. They can contact bushiroad and ask for a demo kit, and it will have to be paid for, if they store is a good store, they alreayd now about new releases and up and coming games. More then likely if they are already not demoing it, they won't pay for it, thats where you come in and demo yourself.

Info on contacting is seen here.

well now how's someone gonna pick up the nova grappler deck and win every match making them look like the best clan? XD

anyways good luck!

[tagout]

Had a demo today only two people were interested and one of them just wanted cards to use as yugioh tokens bit the other one said he was going to try and find a deck to use so a slow start but its still a start

[Calamitas Deus]

I should mention that HobbyTown USA in Lincoln, NE already has an audience for this game. Several of the Yu-Gi-Oh! players also play Cardfight!! Vanguard already, which is why they weren't interested in the demo, if that's where you held it. I personally spoke to the staff there, letting them know that I can run a demo later, especially if they can get Bushiroad to certify them.

[KaiserDragon]

Frank and Sons has quite a bit of people buying boxes and trial decks. Trail decks are 16 and booster box is 70. It seems like quite a few people are interested here. They also have vendors selling singles.

That's good news.

I plan on getting a pair of Flash Fight sets. It should be easier than full Trial Decks for people to learn with, and they make for shorter games, which in turn means more people get to play.

[Reon]

I have 2 questions:
1-for your recommondations on demo-ing, why does it have to be SEALED product? Seems overly expensive to have a sealed box, some sealed decks, and a few trials to play.
2- Are there English Flash Fights right now? I thought the only product we have right now was BT 1 and the first 2 trial decks...

Yes the flash decks are available in english, but not everyone stocks them. As for holding a demo the product you need will depend on how professional you want it. You can just bring the trial decks to teach a couple people to play, or you could bring a full product line to demonstrate the product.

[Reon]

Thats about what I was thinking. There are a few stores locally that get pretty big turnouts for MTG/YGO, but I dont know how many I can convert, so I dont know how professional to get. Not to mention I'm the poors right now, so I have to budget myself when I can...

Flash Fight decks were only used during events in Singapore.

[Eywind]

Apparently they did a demo at Ohayocon this weekend Saturday at 11 (so most people were still sleeping or in line for badges). I forgot to ask my friend how many people showed up, but he said they did a demo and then gave out some Commons and Rares from Booster 5 I believe. I went in the card room a few times and saw a couple guys playing with some Japanese decks but it was mainly dominated by YGO and MTG, as expected.

[3XXXDDD]

Wexford, R.O.Ireland shall be going live this weekend! Just received word that my stuff came in!

I taught people how to play for the first time last Saturday (first time getting to play against someone irl as well). A lot of people were interested, and since then I've ordered 11 starter decks at people's requests. I didn't even get time to teach everyone who was interested! Next weekend should be even better.

Demo at Pro Star Gaming in San Jose, CA. When the store gets product they always sell out before the weekend. We have about a 13 count in our player base and growing. There's about an average of 8 Vanguard Fighters there each Sunday (our main meet up day). Starting sometime in March we'll be having official tournaments with Promo support, I'll be the one hosting it. All English product, by the way.

We haven't so much been demoing as we have just been playing random games around here. Interest is growing steadily, so we're trying to get someplace to stock product.

[bowhawk00]

alter reality games is stocked with vanguard now (:

[Vanguard Veteran]

Going to try demoing at

A1 Comics
Roseville, CA

Trying to get them to order product and host a weekly playnight.

[aramil001]

I am going to try to get a demo going at:
Dice Age Games
Vancouver, WA.
Basically before I even order product in, the owner wants to see how many people are interested before he would go ahead and order and get stock, so that's what this week is so far. =<

[TheElusiveNinja]

Each and every week tournament with $5 booster buy-in.

Game is always on demo 11am-7pm Mon-Sat stop by anytime. They wholesale / retail and have singles.

Very big supporters of Cardfight Vanguard.

[Raszero0]

I believe Eclectic games in reading does tutorials whenever ye want

[LordxMugen]

I demo the game at Hammer Hall in Jacksonville whenever im there (usually Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons). in terms of getting people interested, its much harder for people who are into Magic, probably because it is so much different and CFV is more anime oriented whereas Magic is more like D&D. people that play Yugioh though seem much more interested though.

so far i have like 2 or three that might get into it more. but if anyone in Jacksonville Florida that plays it or is interested in CFV ill totally be there.

[banisher01]

I demo at Games Galore in Reno, NV. I'm usually there for the weekly yugioh tournament at 3pm on Saturdays. I should be there at least an hour before and a little bit after. (Not too long because I have to be at work at 6 AM the next morning.)

I have also talked the shop owner about getting product in and he says it should be here in week or two.

[searchingduelist]

Gona see if i can get more people interested :)

[AxelXIII]
