Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards

There have been numerous comments and posts regarding the promo cards. Hopefully this answers everything:

1. When will I get SHOCK MASTER?
If you signed up to be an SJ ALPHA member before April 20, 2012, you will get SHOCK MASTER. For those that qualify, SHOCK MASTER will be sent out sometime around May to June.

2. When is the next promo card coming out?
The next card, SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON, was announced on April 21, 2012. If you sign up for ALPHA after April 20, 2012, this will be your first promo card. Dates on when you should expect the card will be announced as soon as the details are worked out, but for a general timeframe, expect to receive SLIFER about a couple months after SHOCK MASTER goes out. UPDATE: The final date to sign-up for SJ Alpha and receive SLIFER is July 11, 2012.

3. How often are promo cards released?
4 times throughout the year.

4. I'm already an SJ ALPHA member. Will I receive promo cards?
Yes! Make sure your VIZmanga.com account has your mailing address (find out how to do so HERE). You will get whatever cards are released during the duration of your membership, so if you have a year-long membership, expect to receive at least four cards (some lucky ones might get more!).

5. Will it be delivered to my home?
Yes! Please be sure to input your mailing address in your VIZmanga.com profile.

6. I transferred over my subscription from print to digital. Will I get cards?
Yes. You will get whatever cards are released during the duration of your transferred membership. HOWEVER, please be sure that your VIZmanga.com account profile has your latest mailing address.

Hope this answers everyones' questions.

You will receive SLIFER, but those aren't being sent out until a couple months or so from now.

Submitted by Kiseki on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 14:03

I was expecting to get Number 16: Shock Master when I signed up on June 3rd, but after reading other comments from others I'm worried. I signed up because I heard this was the only way to get it. I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. :(

Submitted by Kiseki on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 14:20

Even though I made a mistake, is it still possible to get it with subscription?

Submitted by John Bae on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 14:53

If you signed up on June 3rd, then you missed the cut-off date for SHOCK MASTER. The first card you will receive will be SLIFER a couple months from now.

Submitted by Kiseki on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 15:15

oh man. well, might as well as anyway, will shock master appear in shops soon like troll and toad or other shops i possibly haven't heard of that sells cards?

Submitted by feiqwan on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 08:58

I recently moved and changed my shipping address today 06-08-12...will I still be able to recieve the first promo card "Shock Master"?

Submitted by John Bae on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 10:23

First off, update your mailing address in your VIZmanga.com profile. Next, I'd make sure with your post office that you have mail forwarding set up. If not, then it's possible that the cards were sent to you old address. Is there any way for you to check to see if that happened? In the end, if you still don't receive it by the end of next week, I'd contact customer service at sjalpha@viz.com.

Submitted by feiqwan on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 12:42

Thanks !

address updated on account settings today. Mail forwarding has been turned off. The old address is +600 miles and unoccupied atm.

Submitted by John Bae on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 14:35

Then I'd just wait until the end of next week. If you still haven't received it, I'd write in to sjalpha@viz.com and explain to them your situation. Also, let them know that you were referred over to the customer service email by SJ ALPHA editor John Bae.

hi, i have not got my slifer the sky dragon in the mail yet and i signed up on may 23 2012 i was wondering if anyone could ansure my question on when it is sent out to sjalpha members and when i might get it

someone please ansure my question

Submitted by Yugiohking on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 19:28

I (think I) can answer that qestion dbattlefront. You see, people who bought a twelve-month membership subscription by April 20th was scheduled to aquire Shockmaster. Shockmaster was then timed to be shipped at the end of May and was supposed to be in every members' hands by sometime in early June, probably due to the process of mass-producing the cards. Assuming that future promo cards, including Slifer (who I too am dying to see in my deck), are going to go through the same process, on the day that the offer for Slifer expires, which is June 22nd, you are only going be "scheduled" by the Shonen Jump Alpha team to get the card shipped to you. The copies of Slifer are actually going to be shipped sometime around the end of July and you will see your copy as I will see mine by sometime around the first week or so of August. That is what I am predicting anyway.

Read the original post you are commenting on.

Submitted by roxannemuir on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 19:55

Will I be notified somehow that the Slifer has been shipped out when the shipping date for Slifer is confirmed?

Submitted by Nominsyt on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 14:19

I became a member of SJ Alpha in the hopes of obtaining Slifer the Sky Dragon, however, whenever I try to make a yearly subscription to my Payments for Paypal, it simply comes up saying that it can't complete my request, and to try again later. But for some reason, it allowed me to take the $0.99 offer. I don't get it.

So with no other options left, I took the $0.99 offer.

It's been like this for the past 2 days, still trying to get my yearly membership. But still no luck. It just keeps bringing up the same message saying to try again later.

Now i'm starting to wonder if there's a problem with the website or something else. At first, I thought there wasn't enough money in my account, but that's not the case. I don't know what to do. I'm lost. If this problem doesn't get fixed by tomorrow, then I have no chance of becoming a yearly member, and my hopes of obtaining Slifer the Sky Dragon will be long gone.

Please tell me there's still hope.

Submitted by John Bae on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 15:51

Best thing to do is to write to sjalpha@viz.com. They'll help you there.

Submitted by Yugiohking on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:22

Did you try ordering through Amazon? Because that is the other way of buying membership. I did, and I had no problem getting my membership.
