The Chaotic® Trading Card Game, which
integrates a collectible trading card game with a unique online
multi-player experience, has hit another significant milestone with the “sellout”
of the new (third overall) Chaotic booster release, Silent Sands,
which was announced today by 4Kids Entertainment (NYSE:KDE) and
its wholly owned subsidiary TC Digital Games.
“We have had brisk pre-orders from comic and
hobby stores and big box retailers of the highly anticipated ‘Silent
Sands’ booster series resulting in an
effective “sellout”
of our inventory,” said Bryan C. Gannon,
President and CEO of TC Digital Games. “Our
Chaotic retail and distribution partners have been doing an incredible
job supporting Chaotic and helping us build the fan base for The Chaotic®
Trading Card Game.
“Kids across North America and in several
other international territories are registering their enthusiasm for our
compelling game and brand in significant numbers at retail and online,”
said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO, 4Kids Entertainment.
Silent Sands was released to comic and hobby stores on
June 18, 2008 and will be available at mass market retailers in early
July.
The Chaotic Online Game Experience also continues to increase in
popularity, with over 1.7 million unique visitors on www.chaoticgame.com.
Each Chaotic trading card has a unique code which can be uploaded to the
Chaotic website enabling fans to replicate their Chaotic cards online.
Chaotic players can store and trade their Chaotic trading cards online.
To add another exciting element to the Chaotic gaming experience, TC
Digital Games recently launched Chaotic Battledrome Events, a national
Organized Play program, at New York ComicCon, with additional events
scheduled throughout 2008 at Wizard World Philadelphia, Origins Games
Fair, San Diego Comic-Con, Gen Con Indy, Fan Expo Canada and Gen Con
