The Justice League Sneak Peek was on Sunday. My previous Sneak Preview (the Avengers one) was ruined by my reservist mobilisation so I was quite thankful that I was able to enjoy this one without any worries.
The night before, I told myself I would try to sleep early but WWE Afterburn & Bottomline kept me up till 3 am. I though I'd be ready to sleep but I ended up tossing & turning in bed until I decided to get up and play Dragon Force on my PS2. Time passed quickly till 6 am and it was then I decided to go lie on the bed. I couldn't really get to sleep and woke up at around 7:30 am and prepared to go to Suntec City.
I arrived at Suntec at around 8:30 am and lazed around. Nulcear and KazuyaSato were really there so it looks like the SOR have indeed started VS (*shudder*). I signed up for the 1st Flight and it began at around 9 am. I was very excited as I cracked open my packs but, to my dismay, I had stuff that I could not foresee myself using. Now, everyone knows that I am an easily-contented person; I just wanted any rare that looked cool or could go into any one of my many affiliated decks (even the junk ones) and I'd be a happy man. But nope, I did not get any.
The 1st Flight lasted very long and I finished my four rounds by 1 pm (I have put the match descriptions in a separate blog entry; just scroll down). I was very delighted that I have managed to win the Martian Manhunter EA and I traded my booster packs for the deck tin. Everyone told me the deck tin was a waste since the play mat was more valuable and fast running out. I chose the deck tin because it was more practical; I still have the Green Lantern play mat and it is collecting dust under my bed (still wrapped up, though). I'll probably try for the play mat later if I have the chance.
We then went for lunch at the food court. Chicken chop with rice & mushroom soup. Yummy.
By the time we returned to the Sneak Preview, I was very tired. I was planning to join two flights today to increase my chances of winning the EA but, since I already have it, the sense of urgency was no longer there. I decided to sponsor someone to play for me since I was hoping that my luck will change and I'll get some good cards. Mango... I mean, Fengo, was the best man for the job since he was young and entitled to three additional free boosters.
Fengo got me some 'okay' cards this time though there were duplicates of crap I had opened during the 1st Flight. There was no more play mat (but I would later learn that they replenished their stock for later flights). I was a little bitter at the cards that I've gotten today and didn't want to go home 'empty-handed'. I went ahead and bought a 'Lookalike Squad' from David for $8 even though I fully know that it'll drop to $2 crap-rare status one month later (but if it doesn't, I'll still be thankful cos' it means that Team Superman has gone from junk team to tier 1). Oh, well. I just didn't want to go home without owning a card that I actually wanted. Fortunately, Orchi dissuaded me from going crazy and spending $20+ on some of the other card singles just to satisfy my impulsive needs.
I went home immediately after Fengo completed his flight since I was sleep-deprived. I reached home at around 6 pm, had a quick dinner and took a dive for the bed. I thought I would sleep all night but I ended up waking at 10 pm. (I actually thought I had woken up at 10 am on the next day.) I suddenly remembered Darrell telling me they were showing WWE: No Mercy at 12 midnight, so I stayed up to watch it. Wee.
