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 Australia.

Complementing the Chaotic Trading Card Game is the Chaotic animated TV series, which airs daily on the Jetix block of Toon Disney and Saturday mornings on the 4Kids TV block on FOX stations nationwide, as well as in TheCW4Kids morning block on The CW Network. Additionally, the Chaotic animated series is a hit in Canada where the show is the network’s #1 ranked program among Boys 2-11 (A.C. Nielsen 9/3/07–1/19/08) on Teletoon. The series follows the adventures of a group of teens that are fans of the Chaotic Trading Card and Online Game.
