It's Japan only. Sum & Moon (Western) won't be out til about February. and I doubt you'll get a set like this. It's common to get top drawer trainers in Japan quite easily. Many of the XY theme decks in Japan have several Lysandre and VS Seeker.

I really want that Team Rocket card, but I can pass on the rest. Unfortunately I can't see that card being easy to obtain and would end up costing at least half of this set. It's my birthday in Feb, but I just can't justify this one. I'm sure it will sell out quickly though.

Lots of people here mixing Japanese and English sets? Or is this same thread on a new post for a western box? The damage counters are plastic. Japan doesn't really do dice. Mystery Energy is still in the Japanese rotation (they aren't Primal Clash onwards). Sun and Moon are adjacent sets (like X...

It's refreshing, but for us old farts, it's a shame to lose the positive progress Ash made in XY(Z). Those who played the original games and watched the 1st series aren't teenagers anymore.

Pondering if I get the in-laws to pick this up, or I order from CDJapan in December. I just hope they put it in a box. Japanese decks lack boxes and that's annoying.

The Japanese premium set that I have on pre-order includes burn and poison markers, as well a a GX counter.

Agreed. So I guess you don't expect that to have any EX or Mega pokémon either?

The big question for me, is what the Reinforced extension for S&M in Japan will contain. That comes out before S&M in the west. Ami Ami says "Randomly assorted from 51 types + ?? types" and that each 5 pack includes 1 energy card.

I've had some good experience with Japan Stuffs as a middleman service. They hold some stock but mostly buy what you order from a Pokemon Center. She takes special requests too. Obviously there's a commision charged and for certain items, like books, you're better off money-wise with CDJapan...

I'm halfway through my CP6 packs (8/18) and I'm not having much luck. Today (pack 8) I pulled 8 duplicates. I'm sick of all the porygons, staryus and ratattas. Even the rare was duplicate. On the plus side (excluding the promos) I do have M-Pidgeot, Machamp break and the Blastoise FA SR. But...

So far no retro energy found after opening 5 packs. I pulled a full art Blastoise EX SR. The doom-mongers were right. It's very underwhelming. A glossy full art with mirror holo but no texture. It is, at least, flat. I'm vainly hoping for a Misty FA so to think this took a SR slot is painful...

So Sun & Moon will potentially let you carry in the new National Pokedex. I'm looking forward to the book form of that. MY daughter and I enjoy leafing through the 721 ORAS Pokedex book.

But I thought that google would end up with Rachel in the end... wait... what? Perhaps Greninja and Serena stayed behind to raise little Froashkies. Or maybe this isn't Ash, but Ash and Serena's kid?!?!?

AmiAmi now out of stock so just 1 box plus the promo set for me after all. BTW don't forget the great Misty & Psyduck sleeves go on sale tomorrow too (seems to be in-store only though).

AmiAmi are now asking for payment on pre-orders. I'm still down for 1 box and the Slowbro promo pack. 15 boosters. Asking myself if I go through the fuss of adding 1 box or order now and perhaps add an extra box to my December SunMoon order...

Do we know what the pack ratio is likely to be yet? Previous CP sets have been fairly uniform: CP2 and CP5 having 3 holos and 1 FA CP3 having having 4 holos with chance of SR CP4 having 7 plus 1 trainer, 1 energy and 1 EX CP6 will have 10 cards. Perhaps it will be like PTCGI with guaranteed rare...

Now I have 1 day to panic buy an additional box of this set. Those cards look great (even if many overlap the PTCGI box set EXs). I'd love to get a Misty, Brock or Team Rocket card from this.

If ever there was a Sachiko-EX then that mega would be so OP. However, adding in that the Ahhhhh has to be maintained during a tickling... That I can get down with. It's an ugly card but I can see these going for a handsome amount on eBay.

This is about the only thing I haven't pre-ordered from the new series, and I think I'm okay with that. Rowlett is cute but these don't seem collectible or playable.

There is a surge on fake Pokémon merchandise on eBay right now. I've been reporting the obvious fakes using the form that eBay provides, but I have very little faith eBay are acting on it. I keep seeing the bootlegs appear on the frontpage. I suspect eBay don't actively remove these listings...
