oh my that gold pikachu vmax looks wonderful i cant believe this is happening. im scared some character rares wont make it to the english set though

 

[Yaginku]

My body is ready to never get these in English lol

The arts are gorgeous, but 40 super rares seems a bit hefty, even by current standards. The base 30 regular cards is a good enough number, but damn, adding in all the super rares too makes for a massive assortment of secret rares, assuming they will all be secret rares in Brilliant Stars.

I'm just so impressed by the quality of art for the character rares whether at the secret rare level or otherwise. This is such a smart way to make reprints attractive compared to rainbow or gold rares. I hope to see more artistically creative subsets like this in 2022.

That is a LOT of cards! It's interesting to note that all of the character cards have the same character on their Vs as their Vmaxes, with the exception of Urshifu. It does stink that we can't see the character (probably Zinnia) on Rayquaza at the moment though.

I’m pretty spot on with the list I made for the secret rares. Bar a couple they were character rares versions but of the cards already in the set For example 213-215 is Kriketune V, Orbeetle V and VMax

 

[vexel]

I freaking love this set already. Hopefully the pull rates are really good given the variety going from non rulebox pokemon up to Vmax

 

[o7yourdesires]

255-280 is interesting. That’s a lot of unknowns - expect Galar Friends amongst them as well as some very quirky cards if the pika Vmax gold is there

The Single Strike v/vmax is Gloria and the Rapid Strike v/vmax is Mustard like the Shadow Rider v/vmax is Victor and Ice Rider v/vmax is Peony

I am in literal shock
1) Umbreon + Karen
2) Rapid and Single Urshifu VMAX
3) Morpeko V-UNION???
I want some of these cards so bad!!!!

 

[o7yourdesires]

Umbreon vmax

 

[o7yourdesires]

Id expect the baby character rares to all be on Brilliant Stars and the V and VMaxes to be our special set next year

 

[vexel]

Umbreon vmax

?
What a card

 

[Chaosbeat]

All this beautiful art and Ultra Pro can't design a decent binder.

Very excited to see the rest of the cards!

 

[o7yourdesires]

278 has to be a black and gold Pikachu V to go with the VMax

 

[Konopacz]

I like how these cards really emphasize how BIG pokemon VMAX are supposed to be.

The normal artworks don't do much to make them seem large, so that's super fun!

 

[fleshrum]

IT'S TIME TO STOP.

The umbreon is pretty though. Front page of my binder has karen, umbreon, and houndoom full arts. Might have to cough up for that.

100 secret rares is a lot.
