SHIELD & FRIENDS ON X -- COLLECTIBLES

What's up, balls? We are exactly 55 days, 19 hours, 50 minutes, and 52 seconds away from D.D. Miami. How is everyone doing today? Bless. Bless, brother. Too blessed to be stressed. Well, wait, how many days? 55. Holy shit. It's man. But before we know it, we're gonna be together again, right? Like, damn. Man, we're already like planning 2027 events too, which is crazy. Like we're already on that plan right now. I mean, we got the venue locked in. Like for sure, obviously everybody has the dates, but this morning we definitely have a lock on it and there's some things going on today and tomorrow. So hopefully we get a schedule out this week, I would hope so. And we're gonna add some other stuff to it. But I'm excited. I'm excited for everybody to see where it's at, excited for people to be able to book hotels. And then some other stuff, other collapse and other people and other connections and networks we've been building and the community's gonna be able to meet those people too. So I was actually gonna bring some of those people into today's space, but it was kind of rushed and stuff with some of the people on IG and just different collectors and different people that have some of the biggest top bids in like history on games, like million dollar bids. And then some other people that own shops and stuff. So I was, I'm gonna get them in one of these days this week so people could ask them questions with collecting, with TCG, with whatever they want to ask to be honest and also with some of their businesses and just like the grading and some things like that. So I'm gonna set up a space where we have enough time and whatever if we go two hours, three hours, whatever we have to do and get everybody in there. And help people through different processes of collecting. Man, there's a lot of different things to learn about it too. And man, like you see a lot of different people collecting certain artwork that they really love and you have people chasing what's expensive and watching auctions and you have, you know, it all starts somewhere. So I feel like everybody is in a different place. You know, building their collection, if it's their binders, if it's rare cards, if it's full arts. But that's what's special about collectibles like, man, we don't know where things are gonna go. Like we're super excited and we're confident with the success just like with Doge and Old Dog. So man, nobody's wrong with whatever you decide to do. If you're gonna rip, if you're gonna hold, if you're gonna, whatever you're gonna do. I feel like everybody could do different things and enjoy it. I haven't looked at the auctions in a while, but I did hear a little bit in spaces. I was just bouncing from Leah's space and from Hopers space and from DeFi space. Man, all at the same time. So I was like, I was trying to go into those spaces on two devices, but then I'm trying to go at all three of them and I'm like, damn, this gets a little hard because man, it's whatever you could do to support any which way. Even if you can't listen, jump in the spaces. Show support in any which way. It's super important. I gotta get back to doing that a lot more now. I've just been traveling and doing so many different things. So it's hard for me to get into spaces and then all of our calls, we have so many calls. So it's been so, so hard because like I'm in Leah's space and then I'm on a face time with Bark and Shibo. So I'm staying in her space, but then I'm hearing it like on the calls and then I gotta jump in and out. I'm trying to make it work, but I'm like, now I'm like, I gotta really make sure people show support when you can for sure. It's super important. We have this CSN deal locked in for CSN SpaceHouse and we're deciding how we're doing it. Top CSN Hose, we've been watching who's really, really supporting, supporting our pages. We're looking at little everything. CSN SpaceHouse, we're looking at subscribers, but we have a really, really good deal that's pretty much all said. It was all confirmed and said and in stuff signed, finalized today. It could be a really good ongoing. It could be something ongoing for months and months or years. Who knows? I have no idea, but there's a good opportunity for it. So now we're just deciding who we're gonna have and what tiers people are gonna be at that are on the CSN schedule. Maybe I'm not sure if everybody's gonna make it. We're gonna really, we're looking at a lot of different things on how people support the main pages, support barks, shebo shield. Just different ways we're looking at that. We're looking at the DDO Legends page, the Dojoinal Dogs page. There's a lot of analytics we're looking at as we do this. And we're gonna do the same thing for beta testing too, like with what's coming out with what we're doing with this DDO Legends and with the game. There's a lot of different things we're doing with that. There's different things we're doing with the expansion set. I mean, there's like 12 cards already done in the expansion set. There's, man, there's some people have these dogs and they're wallets too, so that are in this next game. So I've kind of like went through a few of them. I don't know, obviously like the other 45 cards he'll use and what dogs he'll use on those cards because he's got a few hundred to choose from. But I saw a couple of the new artwork in tied to certain people's dogs. It was really obvious on certain dogs and traits. But this artwork, the colors and everything to do with this smaller expansion set, which will be almost half the size, is yet order for sure anytime, bro. I'm gonna see real quick. I was gonna see some of the artwork and stuff. But this artist is just killing it. So like just the colors, the traits, the backgrounds, what's gonna happen with some of these cards? There's different community members that there's different people that we've had. We've connected with calls on almost every day. We have private chats with different community members that are helping a lot of mention some of them. There's some people we've removed, some people we've added. Everybody always has an opportunity, just going out there and getting it and seeing what community members are doing to, put this out there, put the brand out there, put dogginal dogs, DDL legends, so much cool stuff here. But man, I have this drive right now with like three new cards he added. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Yeah, there's 12 cards, but holy shit, some of these cards. I kind of really want to get some tattoo work done with some of these cards. I was gonna do it on the last one with like flame shield. But now I'm like, man, there's so many other characters. There's so many other characters that I really, really love in the colors. And there's just so many new ones that he's making that I'm like, man, just like the backgrounds, it just everything. So now I gotta like wait a little bit till, you know, till we release this and till we know what, because we don't even have names like set on these cards yet. They're all on files and it's really just our work, the background we haven't decided on any of the abilities, you know, the strengths, the whatever they are if they're a creature, if they're a trap, we haven't decided on any of that. So a lot of stuff will have to be tested, which most likely will test some stuff on the beta. So maybe, you know, people that are on the beta or we allow to start will probably do five, 10 people first and slowly build it up, but they might see some of the leaks. I only leaked one card in my subscribers, maybe like two days ago. And I just did a portion of the tray and then the colors in the background. Man, I'm being real careful with this because I am like, they're really, really exciting. I don't want to like kill the vibe and like, man, I just, there's too much going on with DDL legends and the boxes and everything coming out and people's posts and pictures. I just want to keep that going and keep them momentum. But there's a lot of really cool stuff will leak. I'm sure Barck will leak some like he's, you know, giga leak God for sure. He's going to leak some of them. And whenever he leaks one, I'm going to leak something different just so you guys know. So when Barck leaks something, I'm going to do, I'm going to do something else. I'm going to leak something else so then he can't bitch and bitch and complain. Oh, he's this that, you know what I mean? So I'm going to do that. But man, there's some different, man, there's some different, different things that the characters have in their hands. There's some really, really cool stuff. So I'm really excited about this. The colors are on point. A lot of the traits I'm looking at now, like, oh, this is a new one here too. And I think someone has this dog too. This is one without, like let's say any kind of trait on their head. They have something else. But man, we mixed it in with, you know, some of the other traits too, you know, the crowns and zombies and wizards, some different things. But there's going to be a really, really powerful card in this drop as powerful as anything in the first edition in a way. I think we're going to see with the DDL tournament and maybe after December or during December we'll have more of an idea of what we do. We're still thinking of names on some of these expansion cards and what we'll do, you know, I know a couple of community members are locking in, you know, their dog and some different things between a basic card or pull our card, maybe traps or spells. So there's a few that we're trying to decide, you know, which people are going to use their name, if people are going to use something else, if people are using a DAO, if people, you know, there's a lot of different ideas. And then just kind of trying to match like what people, what people want to invest in and be in the game. You know, having a dog in their wallet that's similar to something that we're building in a trade. So we can maybe, you know, if it's a crown, we can match it to the crown that they're sitting in their wallet. If it's a bow, if it's a wizard, you know, pirates, there's a couple other traits I'm not going to talk about that are in there. Man, this one looks like a monster. Some of these guys are so like powerful and aggressive looking and it's pretty insane. It's pretty cool. So I'm excited to see that. Also one thing I wanted to, I got a lot of DMs on crates. There's like no more, there's no more crates left. So I got a lot of DMs today on people that want to buy like 24 boxes and crates. So there's none left, you know, unless people are buying them secondary. Like I'm open to buy crates from people. So if somebody has a crate, I'm open to buy them. But I don't think people are going to sell them, you know, for whatever we have at list at 180 and shipping and stuff, I don't think anybody's going to sell them at that price point. So just be ready. You know, I just got a lot of DMs and a lot of different people I talked to about boxes and crates. We all have like meat bark and shebowl got our personal and we all have a couple crates. You know, we were hoping we'd get three, four, five, six, seven, but it just didn't work out. So I'm definitely not selling my crate. It's still like sealed in the double box. I'm keeping it that way for a while for sure. But yeah, I'm open to buy some crates. So anybody that bought a crate for me early on, pre sale, I'm down, I'll even pay more for it.
