Well that’s pretty decent for a Japanese booster box, I remember when even FAs weren’t guaranteed in their boxes. I’m kind of annoyed that they didn’t show off any of the gold Secret/Ultra Rare cards but I can understand why they wouldn’t show those off just yet.

Interesting, I wonder if Art Rares returning is is part of the reason why TPCi decided to boost the amount of holos from a 0-2 per pack (RHs excluded, Trainer Gallery Rares and Amazing Rares/Radiant Pokemon included) to a guaranteed 3 per pack for international sets.

I’m liking these but I’m disappointed with the possibility of the autographed cards being non-holo, that’s something I liked about the original releases and the promo Marnies from the Marnie Tournament Collection box. I think the point of the “autographed” cards is to highlight the signature...

Eh… if Stephen Chen’s report on these league packs is any indication then TPCi really needs to restructure these Play Pack sets or they need to find a way to give store-based Leagues (because apparently TPCi isn’t going to give these items to Leagues based anywhere else for some ungodly reason)...

Meh, I’ll stick with the TCGO until I burn my 1,400+ Tournament tickets on SIT tournaments and use those packs to trade for things I need. I’m also still not happy with Live’s 5-card packs, cards like Tropical Beach being uncraftable, and the lack of a horizontal view for tablets. It’s in large...

These packs are essentially POP Pack 2: Collector Boogaloo thanks to the 6-card packs and the 200-card sets. And if you're trying to figure out what the pull rate for VMAXes and other Ultra-Rares could possibly be it' worth remembering that the chase card in POP Pack sets were insanely hard to...

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see how TPCi bungles this “new” way of distributing league-stamped cards and how less-than-reputable LGSs will abuse this to maximize their bottom line. But on a more serious note I don‘t see any logical reason why TPCi decided to bring back POP packs in everything but...

I suspect that they’ll hold off on doing Expanded until TPCi decides to either add a point-based restriction system á la Japan’s Palace/Hall of Fame format or they say ”screw it” and rotate out BW and XY sets for balancing purposes. Oh, and AFAIK there haven’t been any notable Expanded...

Ugh... I’m still not a fan of this switch, there are still some issues with with the TCGL client (crafting still having certain limits being the main one) that’ll keep me away from it until I have no choice BUT to make the switch. The fact that’ll more than likely become available next month...

I’m kind of surprised to see that Kyurem V was shoved into a box this quickly, Lost Origin is less than a month old after all. Because the Fusion Strike Mew V is getting shoved into another product that‘s being released in November.

I'm still kind of shocked that TPCi decided to host Worlds outside of the US again, IIRC there were a few problems during World 2013 (one of which was the infamous Gino/Mees fiasco) that wouldn't have happened or would've been less severe had the tournament been held in the States instead of Canada.

Well that’s certainly unusual, the TCG hasn’t gotten a rotation this weird since the game moved to HS-on back in 2011. As far as the bans go I’m not too surprised by ‘em, those cards never really had any sort of use outside being collector’s item anyways.

Yeah… I’m siding with Yangiku with the whole “produced≠sold” bit, similar wording was used to promote Kingdom Hearts 3 (specifically regarding the amount of copies shipped) a mere week after it came out but you could still find copies of the games in stores. A general rule of thumb for...

100x this. The same is somewhat true for Pokemon collectors and Pokemon players, a league I visited six months or so ago had a feeling this would happen for Celebrations and added a policy stating that you had to compete in their bi-weekly League tournaments if you wanted to buy Celebrations...

Rare Candy has an F regulation mark print via Japan’s Start Deck 100 decks, it’s a simple matter of waiting for TPCi to print it.

Oh good sweet LORD, he went and put it the damn thing on a gaudy bling chain to show it off at his “wrestling” matches. If that thing gets damaged during those fixed shows I think the fandom’s rage would be enough to flash-fry that cocky-yet-completely-bald rooster from orbit. It isn’t just...

I doubt that will happen to Crystals, TPCi tried going with a paid currency via the TCGO’s Gem currency it was derided for it’s obscene cost (IIRC someone did the math and the cost of one digital pack paid with Gems matched the price of an IRL pack) was stuck in a “Canada-only beta” phase (that...

I guess May’s when I break the harpoon gun out of storage, whales will be coming to feed around then… But seriously, I hope this set doesn’t get scalped to heck and back (and supoosedly only receiving one print run) like the Marnie Collection did. The Professor Juniper FA from PLF is close to...

There’s a pic floating around showing off 9 decks (one of which I assume is a tutorial deck), the decks are… * Zacian & Zamazenta (as seen in the article) * Blissey V * Decidueye & Inteleon * Inteleon VMAX * Rapid Strike Malamar * Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX * Shadow Rider...

And this is where I break out into maniac laughter, reach for the master’s prized bludgeoning oar set on the mantlepiece, and strike a menacing pose(if anyone gets this reference, I tip my hat to you). People enjoying things is fine when they recognize the problems with the media they consume...
