Decipher Trading Cards Sold Out
Press Release

Just two months after the debut of The Lord of the Rings TCG, Decipher
has sold out of Premiere Set starter decks!

2nd printing of the Premiere Set starters will hit the shelves in late
February. The ³first printing² icon, designated by the number one, will
be removed to distinguish the set as a subsequent printing.

With Premiere Set starter decks sold out, Decipher now plans an early
release of the starter decks for the Mines of Moria, the first The Lord
of the Rings TCG expansion set. The anticipated street date for Mines of
Moria starter decks is now late February! (Booster packs will still be
released in March, as planned.)

The Lord of the Rings TCG is already a worldwide phenomenon, so don¹t
miss out on the celebrated Premiere Set: Go to your nearest retailer
soon, and pick up Premiere Set starters while they are still available!
