That was a good deal for u because lugia isnt very good.
Selling Lugias for the insane price at the moment is the best possible thing you could have done. The price will drop once people realize the card isn't all it's made out to be.
Although you might have wanted to try to get a little more for it. A friend of mine sold his Lugia EX for 42 at a PR today.

Reverse Holos look reeeeeeally nice for plasma card, well, at least Rotom does.
but anyway, my PR had a theme deck draft and they let me look at the lists and both theme decks have 2 Colress and 1 Hypnotic laser, and one had Plasma grunts I remember, and the other had some other plasma trainer. I do remember there being escape rope. I also know that one comes with Infernape and its preceeding cards, which was really popular today along with Rotom and Heatmor(Pokemon Catcher+burn, for 1 fire energy). sorry I cant be more specific then that.

I kind of liked those new reverse holos that started in Emerging Powers. I collected an entire Unova Pokedex of commons and uncommons and non-holo rares reverse like that. Then I realized I didn't like 90% of the Pokemon or artwork of the cards and got rid of them all. And I didn't collect any non Unova pokemon in reverse holo because I didn't really like the artwork. So... guess that means I'm not caring too much for the reverses now... I thought they'd might have just put a Plasma insignia all over for the reverse ones. While I do like the old school reverses, they were real flashy, so even small scratches were very obvious.
Also I wish I could milk the Lugia EX's like you guys, that's like a free prerelease and then some. However I want the Lugia EX for myself as I am collecting any Lugia cards.
I wouldn't want to spend 40$ on one. I know how bad it is. I mean it's not TERRIBLE... run it with Registeel or Landorus EX to soften the foes up and you claim victory within 3 turns! 2 if you knock out an EX and get THREE prizes... but with 4 required energies and Mewtwo still running amuck, it takes way too long to charge and by then Mewtwo's glaring at your 4 energies and his 2 energies for a whopping 120 damage. And other fast attackers out there like Keldeo will probably ruin that strategy.
Still he sounds really slow and inconsistent. You can't gamble on having Plasma Energies (you're only allowed 4...) and you can't keep relying on your supporters/item cards to help get it out either.
A shame my favorite pokemon got a rather meh card as the one I had envisioned was gonna be way better. I was gonna slap it with a good old Elemental Blast to the past for 200! You gotta attach 3 different energies as usual but if they gave him an ability to flip for all 3 attached or an item card to help it out that'd be mad cheap.
EDIT: Hmm... Thundurus EX can help it out with his attack and has only 1 retreat. I can see Lugia EX being more playable with that combo as Thundurus can weaken foes and then let Lugia take over again and finish off any opponents. However he still has many foes like Cobalion to worry about.

At my PR I got:
3 bicycle, 2 Colress machine, 2 Colress, 3 ether, 1 virbrank city gym, 2 eviolite, 3 hypnotoxic laser, 1 reverse plasma frigate, a plasma grunt, shiny blastoise, Victini EX, and Victory Piece. The Shiny Blastoise, Victory Piece, an ether, and a hypnotoxic laser were all in my last two packs The thing I was surprised by was 0 Plasma energy.

Oh, thank Arceus it's just the Plasma cards with the DP-style reverse foil. (And it makes sense, too, given the plasma logo would be difficult to see behind one of the more intricate designs like Fire.) The Pokemon look hideous (it DOES look good on Trainers, though), though I get the feeling the Plasma logo softens that up and makes it tolerable.
I saw someone open a box, if you'd like to know the pull rates.
They got 4 EX's, one being FA, and I *think* two ACE SPECS, which isn't bad. Not sure about the holos.
I got FA Articuno EX, Dowsing Machine, and SR Receiver (SO MUCH GOLD) at my Prerelease and Draft, so I was satisfied despite the fact that I pulled ZERO Hypnotoxic Lasers or Virbank City Gyms. I traded for some at the end.
As a note, the RH Plasma cards are beautiful. The style goes really well with the blue borders.

Deck box. Standard stuff.
Knowing that there is such good pull rates Im kind of at an impass of either getting an Elite trainer box for $35 plus tax and shipping or a half box for $50 plus tax and shipping. I guess I specifically don't need those things(wish it came out for BC when I started playing a 3 months ago-_-), but I want more booster packs but I also want those dice and the deck box and the energy considering I have only 30 of each energy and zero dark. Maybe I'll risk it, hope I get a real job later on and buy the elite trainer and the half box. gotta save some money for all the sweet 3DS and WiiU games coming out though...
Does anyone know if prices go up from the pre-orders prices for most online retailers after it launchs?

Wait, details are known about the Theme Decks aside from their name and cover card? Totally want details.
