FINALLY! a cheap way to get Generations packs! i hope the Shaymin is actually glittery, unlike the other english Radiant Collection cards.
Omg.
2 packs with promo and pin = $25 CAD.
10 packs in an ETB = $125+?
That's a little cheaper than a flipping regular set's booster box. Please tell me my price estimates are too high... I'll pay ~$60 max for this (considering regular ETBs are $50). I'll miss out on the pins but if the packs don't end up setting me back $12.50 each it's worth it, especially with the good pull rates according to YouTube.
I have been bribing my kids with pins to do their chores - lol!
One pin for me and the one for each of them if they earn it !
Why do you think it would cost more for ETB?
Don't all the promotional packs with pins cost around $20-$25?
With this you get an exclusive set of boosters, a mythical card and a pin?.. So $25 seems totally reasonably and on par.
Therefore, the ETB should not cost too much more... Normal ETB have 8 boosters.
It is a small set and a special anniversary set.
I wish everyone would chill out a bit about it.
Also - the Shaymin print is not the Shaymin everyone wants... Just FYI
Pin Packs usually come with 3 Packs and either 2-3 pins as of lately. They cost around $15-$17 if they come with one pin and 3 packs.
$25 for a Pin Pack is HIGHLY unreasonable. Especially in the Mythical box which only offers you two packs, and if you're not getting an EX - you're getting a poorly placed Uncommon in the form of a rare.
It doesn't matter if it's for the anniversary, it doesn't make up for how terrible the product pricing and set is.
So no, it isn't something to be chill over. Some of us actually want to invest in the set but the price is too much of a turn off. There's a lot of things they've done poorly lately, and being apologetic over it really doesn't mean "It's not a problem."
Exactly. When you walk into a store and it says $12.99 that's fine. However when individual sellers (or Toys R Us) sells for like $25 dollars...why am I going to invest in a set that doesn't serve its own purpose? I'm not. The set doesn't even have very many cards that really show "Generations". The best they could do was take some old school art and throw it onto a newer XY Pokemon. Really? So TACKY. Why would I relax over a set where the cards are bad, the set isn't nostalgic, and it's overpriced. Anyone who says this is something to be chill on needs to think about what the non 1% has to pay for these prices. You can get that Mega Shiny Gyrados Figure Collection for $19.99 at most places but somehow, SOMEHOW the teeny tiny box there with a Celebi promo, pin, and two crappy packs are worth $24.99? All you need is one brain cell to understand this is crazy. The problem here is Pokemon is doing so many crummy releases. I mean think about it Pokemon is releasing all of this Generations set crap way overpriced. When those EX boxes come out they will be the price of an Elite Trainer Box. This is crazy...Pin Packs usually come with 3 Packs and either 2-3 pins as of lately. They cost around $15-$17 if they come with one pin and 3 packs.

Nice! As a Shaymin collector I'm glad to see there's a way to get an English version of the Pokekyun shaymin. Also, here's hoping the energy prints in there are the Generations prints and not the standard boring ones.
Ooh yes - I didn't think of that!! Energy prints!!! That's a tad exciting!!! I would love a set of generation energies!
That looks more like a "Pokekyun box" than a "Generations box". I hope we get that design on the box and sleeves over here in the states.
I'm super excited to see if they are, cause I have my folder sectioned into types and an energy in the corner as a guide, but currently they're scattered between the Play! Pokémon holofoil and the standard ones (there are a few types with no P!P prints IIRC) but being able to have Generations for them all would be amazing!
Of course. But the article stated it was a "Generations box".That's because it is? Japan doesnt have Generations the way Eurpoe and America do, there's no product image for it yet.
