MAGIC THE GATHERING: WILDS OF ELDRAINE drops this Friday 9/8/23 — dive into the storybook world of Eldraine with this 🔥 new set!

This fall, return to the land of fairy tales, knights, and witches in Wilds of Eldraine. A plane cloaked in mystery and fantasy, Eldraine has so much to discover! Eldraine is a top-down, fairy tale–inspired plane that relishes in the whimsy of a good tale, but with a special Magic twist. This time, we’re venturing beyond the scenic castles and into the wilds, a land filled with faeries, giants, and more.

Wilds of Eldraine is also your first look into the Multiverse following the Phyrexian invasion. While our heroes may have stopped Elesh Norn’s plans, the consequences of this are on full display here. You’ll meet old friends (and enemies), explore new corners of Eldraine, and discover how the Multiverse is healing from the Invasion.

BELOVED CHIP THEORY BOARD GAME, BURNCYCLE, RETURNS TO STOCK THIS WEEK — DON’T SLEEP ON THIS!

In the far future, robots have resurrected humanity after mankind’s hubris led to an extinction event. Upon revival, humans quickly prove that they’ve learned nothing from their past mistakes, subjugating the robots and becoming the ruling class of sentient life on Earth. Now, the bots are fighting back.

Welcome to burncycle, a brand new title from Chip Theory Games. In this solo or cooperative game, one to four players take on the roles of robot operatives engaged in an underground resistance against tyrannical human corporations. Players must use creative action sequencing to infiltrate hostile facilities, outwit guards, and take down the corporations from within.

Each player has a role to play in both the physical and virtual realms. The cat and mouse chase takes place in both dynamic corporate headquarters and across an ever-changing network. Humanity will pursue your team of bots tirelessly in an attempt to shut you down and limit your actions. Featuring escalating challenges, exciting squad-building, flexible programming mechanics and a striking retro-sci fi visual style, burncycle is poisoned to bring players the in-depth strategy and stunning production design Chip Theory is known for.

Third Eye Spotlight: TRANSFORMERS

TRANSFORMERS #1 brings back your favorite alien robots, and they’re DOPER than ever!

THE ALL NEW TRANSFORMERS ERA STARTS HERE!


Superstar creator DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (DO A POWERBOMB, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth), alongside ENERGON UNIVERSE showrunner ROBERT KIRKMAN (VOID RIVALS, INVINCIBLE), reimagines Hasbro’s robots in disguise for a brand-new generation.


Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies-the Decepticons.
As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. And humanity’s only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.

Third Eye Spotlight: D&D Lore & Legends

Explore the history of D&D with Lore & Legends this October!

An illustrated guide to Dungeons & Dragons’ beloved fifth edition told through interviews, artwork, and visual ephemera from the designers, storytellers, and creators who bring it to life.

When the reimagined fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons debuted in the summer of 2014, tabletop roleplaying games were on the brink of obsolescence. But within a few short years, D&D found greater success than it ever enjoyed before, even surpassing its 1980s Golden Age. How did an analog game nearly a half-century old become a star in a digital world? For the first time, Lore & Legends reveals the incredible ongoing story of Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition from the perspective of the designers, creators, and players who bring it to life. This comprehensive visual guide illuminates contemporary D&D—its development, evolution, cultural relevance, and popularity—through exclusive interviews and more than 900 pieces of artwork, photography, and advertising curated and analyzed by the authors of the bestselling and Hugo-nominated Art & Arcana.

A cover reveal for Lore & Legends: A Visual Celebration of the Fifth Edition of the World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game features a green dragon battling a group of heroes, including a spellcaster and a warrior with sword and shield.

Third Eye Spotlight: Jonathan Hickman’s G.O.D.S

COMICS LEGEND JONATHAN HICKMAN (HOUSE OF X, EAST OF WEST, SECRET WARS) brings the MARVEL UNIVERSE into a new era with the foundation-laying G.O.D.S series this Fall!

JONATHAN HICKMAN RE-INVENTS THE COSMOLOGY OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE-POWERS-THAT-BE MEET THE-NATURAL-ORDER-OF-THINGS?

The infinite détente between THE-NATURAL-ORDER-OF-THINGS and THE-POWERS-THAT-BE nears an end.

Old acquaintances are reunited during a Babylon Event.

The Lion of Wolves throws the worst parties. Don’t look under the table.

There’s a John Wilkes Booth penny on the ground.

This ENORMOUS EXTRA-SIZED first issue features DOCTOR STRANGE, who, while not boring at all, is easily the most boring person in the book.

This series is a MUST-READ for any MARVEL UNIVERSE fan, as comics architect & legend, JONATHAN HICKMAN, begins to build the groundwork of what the MARVEL UNIVERSE will look like in 2024, and what is anticipated to be the template for much of what may be coming to the MCU down the road after SECRET WARS!

For those of you who’re familiar with Hickman, you already know: he knows how to reinvent & pioneer comic book energy like no other, but for those of you who aren’t, you gotta trust us: this man knows how to take the things we all love and know about the icons of the MARVEL UNIVERSE, and introduce bigger than life concepts that completely turn the universe on its head!

Third Eye Spotlight: Batman City of Madness

BATMAN CITY OF MADNESS delivers the most unique & chilling BATMAN tale since Grant Morrison’s iconic ARKHAM ASYLUM: A SERIOUS HOUSE ON SERIOUS EARTH!

VISIONARY CREATOR CHRISTIAN WARD UNLEASHES A COSMIC-HORROR EPIC, FEATURING THE COURT OF OWLS! 

Buried deep beneath Gotham City there exists another Gotham. This Gotham Below is a living nightmare, populated by twisted mirrors of our Gotham’s denizens, fueled by the fear and hatred flowing down from above.

For decades, the doorway between the cities has been sealed and heavily guarded by the Court of Owls. But now the door swings wide, and the twisted version of the Dark Knight has escaped…to trap and train a Robin of his own.

Batman must form an uneasy alliance with the Court and its deadly allies to stop him–and to hold back the wave of twisted super-villains, nightmarish versions of his own nemeses, each one worse than the last, that’s spilling into his streets!

Visionary writer-artist Christian Ward unleashes his cosmic-horror take on Batman’s world, in a tribute to disturbing Dark Knight classics like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Gothic! You’ll never look at Batman’s villains the same way again…you simply won’t have the stomach for it!

What legends will the Garou sing of you?

When will you Rage?

NEW WARHAMMER SIGMAR 🔥 DROPS THIS WEEK WITH the VANGUARD: SERAPHON box and the CITIES OF SIGMAR ARMY SET!

The reptilian Seraphon strive tirelessly to advance the Great Plan of the Old Ones, returning true order and balance to realms warped by the Dark Gods. Their armies see cold-blooded saurians and ferocious scaled beasts fight together as a single potent force – a fusion of predatory violence and esoteric cosmic power that few can withstand.

If you wish to wield ancient, cold-blooded power to cleanse the taint of Chaos from the Mortal Realms, this box is the perfect way to start a new Seraphon army – or expand an existing collection – and saves money compared to buying the same kits individually. A cohort of brutal Saurus Warriors armed with spears or spiked clubs makes up the bulk of the force, alongside a pack of fearsome Kroxigor. At the hand of this reptilian warband is a venerable Saurus Oldblood, sat atop a hulking Carnosaur. It’s a full army in a box, leaving you ready to pursue the Great Plan in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:

– 1x Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur with 1x Saurus Oldblood on foot, which can also be built as a Skink Oracle on Troglodon with a Saurus Oldblood on foot, or a Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur
– 3x Kroxigor, which can alternatively be built as Kroxigor Warspawned
– 10x Saurus Warriors

The Cities of Sigmar are bastions of light and hope in realms embattled by darkness. With faith and overwhelming firepower, their mortal armies fight back against the fiend, the monster, and the wraith. Following the bellowed commands of veteran officers, lines of hard-slogging infantry grimly set their shields to repel the enemy’s assault while formations of armoured cavalry sweep forth to claim glorious victory in the God-King’s name.

The massed forces of this army set make the ideal foundation for your Cities of Sigmar army, and a great way to reinforce your collection with new miniatures. The rank and file of the Freeguild Steelhelms are supported by Freeguild Cavaliers on horseback, and led from the front by a respected Freeguild Marshal – accompanied by their Relic Envoy, who ensures that their orders always get to where they are needed. Alongside this peerless leader strides an Alchemite Warforger – as muscular as any mundane blacksmith, this mage channels metallurgic magic to destroy their foes.

Also included is an exclusive launch edition of Battletome: Cities of Sigmar, filled with rules, lore, and stunning artwork, featuring a soft-touch cover, burgundy ribbon marker and gold gilt page edges. Going to battle with your collection is made even simpler by an exclusive set of warscroll cards, enhancement cards, and tokens that will help you launch the Dawnbringer Crusades – all only available in this boxed set.

This set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:
– 1x Freeguild Marshal and 1x Relic Envoy
– 1x Alchemite Warforger
– 5x Freeguild Cavaliers
– 20x Freeguild Steelhelms
– 4x Cities of Sigmar Transfer Sheets, each containing 410 Transfers

This set also includes the following items, which are exclusive to this box:
– Battletome: Cities of Sigmar (Launch Edition) – 160-page hardback book with an exclusive variant soft-touch cover, gold foil blocking, gold gilt page edges, and a burgundy ribbon page marker.
– Warscroll Cards: Cities of Sigmar – 52 exclusive cards detailing every unit available to the Cities of Sigmar
– Enhancement Cards: Cities of Sigmar – 45 exclusive cards detailing the command traits, artefacts, spells, prayers, and orders of the Cities of Sigmar
– Cities of Sigmar Token Sheets – 71 exclusive double-sided tokens for tracking your spells, abilities, orders, grand strategies, battle tactics, and more

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

The battletome contains a one-use code to add the book to your digital library in Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The App.

The warscroll cards, enhancement cards, and token sheets detailed above are exclusive to the Cities of Sigmar Army Set and will not be available separately at a future date.
