Glad that these are likely to be the missing XY promos, I've been wondering what they were supposed to be!

Exactly what I was thinking. As someone else said, I have a feeling, if they're banging the full arts into a promo box, that they'll be tacked onto the next set as secret rares, since SRs don't typically have to have anything to do with the set they're in (like the old BW SR Pokémon). If that's...

Exactly what I was going to say haha, it's lovely! Not sure I rate the card itself, though.

Yeah you're probably right. There was a Mewtwo Battle City promo box or something as well that had a Mewtwo figure in it, don't know if that was before or after the fully evolved starters. Do you know why we don't get them any more? I don't understand haha.

An interesting selection of cards. Jolteon I get, I've wished for a while it had a full art, but I'm not sure I understand the others. It's also pointless, imo, if they're not Black Star (which I can't see them being because then you'd have M Manectric and M Lucario without their basic forms in...

Yeah, that's what I came here to say as well :( I miss us getting figures, I hate jumbo cards.

Oh lord, no Tapu Lele tin?? I'm sensing a Shaymin-esque value coming about!

Mallow seems interesting, although you'd have to be careful how you use it (N being the obvious problem). Probably mainly use it for an immediate draw through Shaymin/Octillery/Oranguru etc.

I wish they put good trainer cards in these. Would make them more worth buying imo, especially since there's no Black Star Promos in them. Also, these products are annoying as hell to redeem online! Once you do, you end up with loads of energy listed individually because they're all numbered...

Interesting first attack on the Geodude, I'm intrigued to see what its evolutions do.

I'll probably give the Kindgra one a miss, but I'll pick up a Scizor one so I can have my 4-3 line in case I decide to play Scizor again.

As a Generation II fan girl (and Lugia being my 2nd favourite Pokémon), I'm happy with these products, and don't particularly care which prints they are (never really wanted to use either Ho-Oh, and I have enough of the other Lugias if I wanted to use those). Like @BrianFrobey said, I'm hoping...

People do define things differently, obviously, but I just didn't see why it warranted a wall of text discussing that in a wordy way I guess. I definitely didn't mean that no decks have auto-losses currently, they probably do, but I just don't think that Volcanion necessarily does automatically...

I was actually sort of looking forward to working on my Pokédex in SM, rather than just syncing it with my ORAS one (which is nigh-on complete). Oh well.

I'm just salty you Americans only pay $3.99 for a pack! It's £3.99 here (if you don't buy online), which is more! Good to know the prices won't go up further though, Brexit put things up enough!

Err that was, all-in-all, quite a patronising post to be honest haha. Hype is hype, lots of people talking about how game-changing it is. Auto-loss is what it is - a match-up you cannot win. And I disagree, Volcanion doesn't auto-lose to Greninja. It's a horrible match up for sure, but it isn't...

I think people are hyping this card up a little too much. For me, particularly in Standard, it's only going to go in a deck that has a auto-loss to a BREAK deck with abilities (does anything actually auto-lose to Greninja?). Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd waste a space for it. It's a little...

Won't Lycanroc be hitting Raichu for a Weakness also? Assuming Raichu is a Lightning and not Psychic. I guess Weakness (and Resistance) is a big part of the game though, so new players would need to understand it. I believe Trevor was released in a Battle Arena deck, not a Trainer Kit. The last...

It is technically a reprint since they have likely been printed especially for these boxes, but the release of these boxes don't mean the card is legal for Standard play again, because they retain their original set symbol. As a collector and a player, I don't really see the point of these...

So the single-use incubator thing doesn't seem to be working haha. Although I guess I'm in the UK so when I was out this morning maybe it wasn't quite the morning of the 25th in the US yet? Hoping it does work eventually though, I need to hatch them eggs! Also pleased to hear about the...
