Digital Digest - April 2024

April 30 2024

DIGITAL DIGEST | MARCH 2024

April gave us our favorite babies, Blood Dragons, and tons of other super cool new physical games. But that’s not what May is going to be about. We’ll be reaching into our back catalog and clearing out our warehouse with two HUGE sales for in-person and online shoppers. So gas up your car, get your credit card details saved and get ready to join us for our biggest Blowouts yet.

And at the end of the blog, you might be rewarded with a little taste of what we’ve got planned for summer…

Find out MORE about our Big Big Big Tent Sale!

Who says we can’t celebrate two years of Limited Run Retail while doing a little spring cleaning?

We’ve got an event too big for the store, so we’re setting up the biggest tent money can rent right in front of our HQ and filling it with overstock, returns, and other slightly worn items that we can’t sell at our Blowout Sale. EVERYTHING will be marked down well below MSRP (with some items as low as $1 👀). We’ll even be giving out trading cards to buyers while supplies last! Everything has got to GO!

The event runs on Saturday, May 18 from 10am-3pm and Sunday, May 19th from 10am-2pm or until everything is sold out—whichever comes first!

The sale will be located in the front parking lot at:
1101 Perry Road
Apex, NC 27502

Visitors will be permitted to line up no earlier than 8:00am. Parking will be available on-site at this time, and some of the neighboring businesses have agreed to allow overflow parking in the event that our lot is full. If you can carpool with a buddy, that would be excellent! Check out the handy map below or follow the signs at the event to see where you can and cannot park.

Porta-potties will be provided in case you need a bathroom break, and this will be an outdoor event—rain or shine—so check the weather reports and dress accordingly.

This is What You’ve Been Waiting For—The 2024 Blowout Sale!

Are you ready for the big Blowout?

Every year, we take inventory of games left over after sales, conventions, and replacements and put ‘em up for grabs for 24 hours! This year, the big event is happening on May 27th, starting at 10am Eastern.

Blind Boxes will return alongside a plethora of our best games from the last few years. And, of course, everything will be available in extremely LIMITED quantities!

So mark your calendars, save your card details, and get ready to BLOWOUT the warehouse!
