Did you get your all-black Nicol Bolas from the PT? No? That's OK because that is SO last week.
Don't get me wrong, Bolas looked pretty cool.
Not bad. Not bad at all. Even if you don't collect toys (or action figures as some insist they be called), you can see that a toyction figuoy this cool is worth having even if it's not worth a ton of money. But we've moved on. And the new thing we've moved on to is amazing.
This is the GP Memphis playmat. This is no mere Elvish Impersonator, it's the King himself, baby. Memphis is a killer city to visit and the GP promises to be one that is worth going to as much for the atmosphere as for the event. If past cool looking playmats are any indication, this will be worth considerably more than the price of entry into the tournament and it sale on eBay early enough could subsidize the entry fee and possibly part of the trip. Not bad! If you're headed to Memphis, buy as many mats as you can off-site.
Remember this guy? It only goes for about $50 now, but it was worth considerably more at its peak. $50. for a playmat that you get for free when you enter the event. And one that is arguably less cool than the Elvish Presley mat from GP Memphis. Make sure you get yours if you can and maybe pick up a few to take back home and sell in person.
