If you've never read the Super7 toy magazine, then you've been missing out.

When we're talking to our Munchkin fans, one of the questions we hear fairly often is, "Why can't I order specific promo cards and bookmarks to complete my collection?"

Christmas is just a few weeks away, and over at Warehouse 23, our online store, we're celebrating the holidays with two Grab Boxes of surprise loot.

COMPLAIIIIIIIN!
I'm keeping my eye on my pal Greg Hyland in particular. Twelve or so years ago, when Munchkin Fu was first being discussed, I was far too busy to work on it (there was at least one other major Munchkin deadline looming, and -- I believe -- a Chez Geek one, as well) . . .
