All winners for the April promo have been drawn! Not all winners have been contacted yet, we will be doing this in the next couple of days as well as sending out the prizes that are still yet to be sent. Congrats to all of our winners!
We will take a pause during May from this promo, but a similar one will likely return in the near future (maybe even June!)

In the mean time, we have another small lot of Ascended Heroes product bundles activating in a few min (noon). There will likely be some other options at a later date - we will try to give some notice.

Cheers

Hi all, thank you so much to anyone who came and said hi at Armageddon (regardless of if you bought anything or not) - it's always awesome to meet new and familiar faces.
Meanwhile, we have been working hard over the long week outside of Armageddon as well to pack as many orders as possible. We are a still a little behind compared to usual and we really appreciate your patience and understanding.
Some orders may take an extra day compared to usual (please note Monday was a public holiday).

After orders are caught up on, and we have organised the prizes for our April give away, we will post some product bundles with Ascended Heroes. In addition, we will try to also offer an expression of interest at some point. Truthfully, it is one of our most preferred ways of handling hot releases, but it is also one of the most time intensive - which is why we haven't been doing them as often lately. Updates to follow on Facebook (please don't PM for more info).

Cheers,

The team at The Game Tree NZ

Hey all, a few quick updates.
Please do not PM about Ascended Heroes.

For some new Ascended Heroes drops/re-stocks, we will have some available in the form of bundles and likely expression of interest - this will be google doc indicating interest, please don’t PM us saying you’re keen (we know everyone is). This will be at a later date once we've had time to catch up, we are not necessarily targeting release dates with these. As always any updates will be posted publicly on Facebook and/or website when we are ready, we can't provide additional info via PM/e-mail.

A small thing - Ultra Pro appears to have started introducing a new logo/branding, some of you who recently ordered toploaders may have noticed this. We probably have both logo "variants" in stock so you may receive the usual one or the new one.

Thanks for your understanding and hope to see some of you at Armageddon next weekend! As always, we love meeting people (even if you aren't buying something) in person - so feel welcome to say hi and introduce yourself 🙂

Cheers

Happy Easter!
A customer shared this pull with us, it’s a bit too epic to not share! A while ago we had some EX Fire Red Leaf Green packs listed (an art set of 4x packs). It took a while, but eventually someone bought them late August 2025. Fast forward to today, he opened them and pulled *the* hit!
What a wild journey those packs have gone through to finally be opened in 2026; 22 years after release.

I remembering selling this card happily on Trade Me as a high schooler for $50 or so.. good times 😂

No April Fools pranks from us this year!

The promo for March has ended! We have decided to bring back the promo for the entire month of April!

Very similar to March, the prizes that can be won are:
One/1x Ascended Heroes ETB
One/1x First Partner Illustration Collection
Ten/10x Ascended Heroes mini-tins (one per winner)
Eight (8x) Ascended Heroes 9-pocket portfolios

See this link for more details: https://thegametree.co.nz/pages/march-2026-promo (ignore the link saying March).

Terms are pretty much the same - spend $50 in any single order (not including shipping) to go into the draw to win. This time, we will randomly drop the prizes throughout the month, except the ETB and First Partner box (which will be drawn at the very start of May).

Every $50 gets one entry, you can enter multiple times within one order, or multiple orders.

-----

All twenty (20x) winners from the March free prize giveaway have been e-mailed. Congrats to all the winners!

Perfect Order stock ended up arriving last minute (3:30PM or so) today. We managed to sneak out a few of the orders but most of them will go out tomorrow.

From our charity bundles yesterday we raised just over $1700, we topped this up to $2000.00 and have made the donation to Youthline - https://youthline.co.nz/about-us/

See receipt attached below.

Thanks again to everyone for your continued support ♥
Hope Perfect Order treats you well!

Perfect Order stock looks unlikely to arrive today, the weather caused a few delays with delivery. If anything changes we will let you know, otherwise everything should go out tomorrow.
In the mean time we are working on all orders without Perfect Order and those will go out as usual. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Edit:
Stock arrived very late (about 3:45PM). We snuck a few out but most will go out tomorrow.

25/03/2026

Perfect Order is all up, charity bundles went fast. We will see how things go over the next couple of days and there may be some more available. We will likely also do an attractive promo/giveaway similar to this month, next month again.

As always we may randomly put up some products/bundles/re-stocks etc.

We will do our best to work hard tomorrow and get as many orders out as possible. Please understand we can not guarantee Friday delivery, even though we will try our best.

For the charity bundles we will post receipts within 48 hours, we will donate 100% of the proceeds of those as promised, cover the processing costs, loyalty points etc.

As always thank you so much for your support - orders, tags, feedback we see it all and appreciate it so much ♥🌳

P.S. A few people have asked, we are missing a few of the next shows and our next event will be Armageddon in April (Auckland).

24/03/2026

Our Perfect Order stock will arrive tomorrow and we will post initial "pre-orders" early this evening (ETA 6PM). For orders made on time, we will target, but not guarantee release date (Friday 27th March) delivery.

We will also list a few Ascended Heroes bundles, and a few First Partner Illustration Collection bundles. These will be charity bundles meaning 100% of proceeds will be donated to charity. Details (what the bundles are, limits, which charity etc) to follow.

Please do not PM about these, all details will be posted on our page as usual and no additional info will be given earlier via PM.

19/03/2026

Hello,
We hope to receive Perfect Order products sometime next week. We will list those once we have them in hand as a pre-order. Hopefully to target release day delivery depending on when we receive them.
We will also list some other new products at the same time. Please keep an eye out on our Facebook or website for product updates, we are unable to privately answer requests about when products will be released.
Cheers!
