Greetings, fellow adventurers, travelers, and friends. Your presence here is the first step in an epic journey that we've spent countless hours forging, not for our own glory, but for the betterment of our passionate TCG communities throughout the Middle East.
Our stronghold, this online platform, is the fruit of numerous technological quests, unexpected challenges, novel innovations, in-depth consultations with community members, strategic alliances with numerous partners, and an army of selfless volunteers dedicating their time and expertise. We've undertaken this grand project to offer you an experience that's second to none.
The support we've received on this voyage has been nothing short of overwhelming. From the bottom of our hearts, we express our profound gratitude. Never did we anticipate that our humble idea would sprout into the thriving tree of community it has become. We have taken great pride in the work done behind the scenes, aiming to revolutionize the industry.
Who stands at the helm of this venture? I am Joshua J. Bouw, a relentless innovator working at the frontier of technology. Known in my realm for pushing the boundaries of the norm, my endeavors, such as pioneering financial technologies, exemplify this commitment.
THE DWARVES
How do we differentiate ourselves? Behind the scenes, we've developed an innovative approach to managing our product inventory. Aptly named "The Dwarves," after the tireless and hardworking mythical creatures, this cutting-edge combination of AI, robotics, and warehouse management techniques is the heartbeat of our operations.
"The Dwarves" consist of a team of robotic arms equipped with cameras and AI algorithms, accurately identifying and sorting cards, thereby streamlining our inventory process. Our system mirrors the efficiency of Amazon's warehouses, handling a myriad of card variations, and ensuring that the right card reaches the right hand at the right time.
THE LAUNCH PLAN
Our current treasure trove includes an estimated 220,000 cards, a number that grows steadily each week, featuring gems from as far back as the 1990s. With your patience and our dedication, we aim to provide a superior marketplace that caters to every TCG community in the Middle East.
Stage 1 - Pokemon Modern: Launching with the current standard rotation, our primary focus lies in supporting the fervent Pokemon community. We'll gradually unveil premium hits, ensuring fairness.
Stage 2 - Flesh and Blood: We prioritize this rapidly growing community before more established ones like Magic the Gathering, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
Stage 3 - Magic the Gathering: Though our current inventory is humble, expect a vast array in the near future, meticulously cataloged with our finely-tuned processes.
Stage 4 - Yu-Gi-Oh: Despite being after Magic the Gathering, we anticipate quicker progress thanks to our refined processes.
Stage 5 - Other TCG communities: Worry not, communities like Digimon and Meta Zoo, we hear you. We'll be with you shortly.
THE FUTURE
With favorable winds, we aim to establish up to three retail locations, supporting our long-term vision of bringing a Local Game Store (LGS) closer to your doorstep. Your feedback will guide us in finding our future homes.
