The best thing to do is to
The best thing to do is to look at your VIZmanga.com account when you're looking at the latest issue of SJ ALPHA. Below the manga pages, in a box on the lower-right of your screen, you should see when your membership expires.
What I think happens is that we see that your first membership is about to expire, so you get a newsletter about that. If your date on the lower right is correct, then I wouldn't put much stock in the email.

What about medaka box. it's run in weekly jump in japan and it's a good addition: a fighting series with a little bit of fanservice.

No worries. It's a good question though. SJ ALPHA is constantly growing as time passes, so who knows what's in store for the future.
bardock
Hey, what about the three chapters of the episode of bardock in Saikyo jump. It's a spin-off of a SJ series, so wouldn't it be cool. Who doesn't want to read bardock go ssj?

Correction. V-jump
Say, do you accept PO Box
Say, do you accept PO Box numbers, just out of plain, old curiosity? You see, I have a post office box, and the post master there can get rather....irritable if your mail doesn't have your PO Box number in the address. I put my PO Box number as my shipping address on my account, I subscribed a couple of weeks before the deadline to subscribe to get Slifer had arrived....but I have not yet received an email confirming that Slifer is being packaged to ship out, like alot of other people here claim to have. It makes me feel a little...concerned about it! Like I said before, it makes me wonder if you take PO Box numbers. If not, I'm screwed!
yay?
im glad they still do this.. and they are doing a good job up there at shonen. but im wanting to know if they still do the renual... for cards
HEHE!! Need it for my deck

SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE!
Hey, Mr. Bae. I've tried quite a bit of Customer service e-mailing these past couple of weeks, with no response! In your FAQ section, when I signed up, you had said that anyone signing up after April 20 would get the Slifer promo card. I signed up on July 15, which is when I read your advertisement on the promo card. And then, on July 16, you posted an update saying I had to have signed up before July 11 to get the card. This leaves me furious, since the card was the only reason I signed up! You promised me this card until you had my money, and then said I wouldn't get it! That is, by all definitions, information fraudulence and direct online theft! If I'm not going to get the card you said I would receive, then I demand a refund IMMEDIATELY.
Not sure where you saw that
Not sure where you saw that ad, but the deadline for SLIFER was actually listed before the 7/11 deadline on this site.
Also, keep in mind that many of us were working at San Diego Comic-Con, and that may explain why you saw that ad wasn't updated until the show was over. With that said, the messaging on sjalpha.com was updated before and during the show with regards to SLIFER's deadline and the announcement of GUSTAV MAX.
.... that figures
In which case, is there any way II can get my money back?

Gustav hieratic ?
Am I the only one who doesn't see how Gustav max ties into a hieratic. Deck?
yes gustav hieratic
The primary hieratic combo leaves you with 2 red-eyes darkness metal dragons with 0/0 Ark and Def. This card increases the damage potential from 7700 to 12700.
i never got it and im on till
i never got it and im on till 2013
Same
Same here, shoot it looks like people that are from the west coast are getting hella freaking jipped.
I still haven't gotten the Slyfer the sky dragon yet either. xDD also I don't even know if I'll be getting the newest promo card for this month. God!!!! Please tell me what I've done wrong to deserve this?. I'm also on until 2013 and look at this it's already august. The last promo I remember getting is that Seven Swords Warrior.
There's a very good reason
There's a very good reason for this. Both SLIFER and GUSTAV MAX haven't been sent out yet. Please read the news item on the site about the promo cards. A lot of misinformation and guessing out there, when the answers can be found on this site.
Their Not Sent Out Monthly

Good news/Bad news
At least it will fill my extra deck, but should have been a number card.
Won't they show us how close the votes were, who came in second & so on?
So, does this site accept PO
So, does this site accept PO Box numbers as mailing addresses for the cards?
You know....people keep
You know....people keep saying this card will be hard to get out, but the fact is, all you need is two Metal Reflect Slime Trap-Monster cards, and you are set! Just like someone else pointed out on here, but I'm really pointing out how they would come in handy! In your hand, they count as traps. While they are on the field, they ALSO count as level ten monsters with 3000 DEF each. You would just hold on to them, play them, activate them and then summon this monster! Easier then you would think! The easiest way to acquire this card is in Marik's sidedeck.
By "this card" at the end, I
By "this card" at the end, I mean Metal Reflect Slime.
Hieratics
The better way to get this card out is the Hieratic OTK/FTK. The full hieratic combo leaves you with 2 0/0 ATK and DEF Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragons. over lay the dragons and summon this guy on the first turn
Or you could use both. At
Or you could use both. At least that would be one less Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon wasted!
The reason I say this is
The reason I say this is because....quite honestly, I HATE it when people go for one turn kills! It takes the fun out of the game! No more lengthy duels, where people have to use their gutts and their brains, just, "lays a card, lays a card, summons two Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons, stacks them on top of each other and plays Gustav Max, uses its effect. Oh, I win. Yay. How......dull!
Another reason I am saying
Another reason I am saying this is because I'm giving an alternative way to summon this monster! Your not always just going to draw two Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons, or the cards needed to summon them, on your first turn! Or your second, third, fourth, fifth and so forth. If that is all your counting on to summon this card, you might as well take it and tear it in half! Like I said in my previous comment, you need to think...strategically! You need to have back-up plans in case one of them fails! Relying on one move is going to lose you the duel more then it's going to win it for you...unless you stack the deck like Arcana did in his duel against Yugi, trimming the edges of his cards so they would slide through each other and end up the way he wanted them to. However, I doubt you are such a person!
HIeratic OTK
The only cards u need in ur hand to pull of the full heiratic combo are eset, su, and any other hieratic dragon. and Seal of Convocation helps a lot. my deck can pull it off about 75% of the time on first turn
want to duel???
want to duel???
I'll take you on sometime, but not on the forum.
The forum's too much of a hassle for me, and I like to actually see the cards my opponent lays down. I'm just an old-fashioned kind of duelist. If you have a skype account or something, I'd happily accept your challenge sometime.
75% of the time?! Well, in
75% of the time?! Well, in that case, you needn't worry about not getting the necessary cards for this combo. Have fun blasting your opponents out of the way!

Shooting quasar dragon
Can anyone tell me what issue shooting quasar dragon is available in.
It was the last set of two
It was the last set of two cards that they released that you got for subscribing to Shonen Jump when it was still in print. Your best shot at getting that card is on sites like toywiz.com or ebay. Or, perhaps begging some kind hearted duelist into trading it to you. Yeah, I tried getting them by renewing my subscription...but then they sent me a letter saying they were going digital, canceled it, lost my chance at getting them this way and ended up ordering them off of ebay, because I knew that no duelist in their right mind was going to trade them to me. If you do order them, also order the Synchro monster by the name of "Formula Synchron", otherwise, Shooting Quasar Dragon is just plain useless, for it stipulates on the card that you use a Tuner-Synchro monster as part of its synchro material. Why Formula Synchron? It's a level two Tuner-Synchro monster and its effect makes it so you can Synchro-Summon a monster during either your opponent's turns or your own! Just so you know, the card that comes with Shooting Quasar Dragon is Sephylon The Ultimate Time Lord. Both of these cards are just....awesome!
i still have not got my card
