Hello Everyone. Just to let everyone know because of the number of Prerelease kits we have received. We are cutting the Midnight Prerelease to the first 40 people and our main Prerelease on Sunday to 80 people.

Things are heating up at L.A. Mood with some seriously hot products!!
We have the games everyone has been asking about!

ANDROID NET RUNNER
From the creator of Magic comes the long awaited follow up to the 1990's classic Net Runner. Android Net Runner has been one of the most anticipated games of the year and it doesn't disappoint. The cyberpunk future never looked so good.  Grab your copy before this run out out!

STAR WARS X-WING MINIATURES

The second hottest game to come out is Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures.The intuitive rules have you fighting in minutes. The action is fast and fierce in a game that's all about the battle!

STAR WARS EDGE OF EMPIRE RPG:Beta Edition
It's the beta edition! How cool is that? Edge of Empire is  standalone roleplaying game experience that places players in the roles of hard-hearted bounty hunters, roguish scoundrels, charming smugglers, or fearless explorers trying to survive and thrive on the edges of civilization...and the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire beta test is your chance to be among the first to play!

 New Comics!
DR. WHO DAVE GIBBONS COLLECTION

The classic Doctor of our PBS watching youth mixed with the illustrator of The Watchmen? Yes please!  These classic stories originated all the way back to the first Dr. Who magazine and have now been collected in eye popping fashion.

Deadpool Volume 10: Evil Deadpool

 The Merc with a mouth has to convince them all there's an even crazier, less principled version of himself on the loose! Is that even possible? Pick it up to find out!

Captain Spaulding Head Knocker

Throw on some Rob Zombie and get your head a rockin' while Spaulding's a Knockin' with this creepy...I mean cool Bobble Head. What's a matter -You don't like clowns? (P.S Girl not included)

Has L.A Mood run out of comics?? No of course not don't be silly. We've got more comics than ever before!!

New this week
The Stand Hard Cases

 The Trashcan Man was spared for a reason. To join the Dark Man Randall Flagg's swelling army and to set the world on fire. The great thing about comic book adaptions is half the reading, all the action!

Grimm Fairy Tales Vol 12

Sela Mather's epic journey through the realm of myst reaches it's pinnacle as she struggles to find her way back home! You never read Fairy Tales like this when you were a kid!!

Manhattan Projects

What if the research and development department created to produce the first atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual, programs? Collecting the coolest new series of the year into one super science package!


Prince of Cats














 "Prince of Cats" is a hip-hop inspired retelling of William Shakespeare's seminal tale, "Romeo and Juliet." Instead of focusing on the star crossed lovers, Wimberly's story focuses on Tybalt, referred to in the play as the Prince of Cats, and his Capulet brothers as their war with the Montagues rages on. Featuring some seriously cool neon graffiti fused art!


 Venom Bank

Either Venom is saying "Come at me!" in a cool fighting stance...or he lost a contact lens. Either way you can put you money in him!!

Evil Dead 2 Series 2

These gorgeous and I mean GORGEOUS-(I know it sounds weird to say but these figures couldn't be more finely sculpted of accurate to the film) Evil Dead 2 figures just came in...and hopefully we all won't be dead by dawn. Wait-Did you hear that? It sounds like maybe something... something trying to force its way into our world.
