[Water Pokémon Master]

As expected, we will be getting a special Scarlet & Violet 8.5 set!
Its first wave of products will release on Friday, January 17th.
They will include an Elite Trainer Box, a Poster Collection, three Tech Sticker Collections, and a Binder Collection. These will have the same configurations as ones from previous special sets, such as 151 and Paldean Fates:

More products will surely follow, such as Mini Tins and ex Boxes.
We expect our 8.5 set will be comprised of cards from Japan’s upcoming...

terastal festival as well I presume?

I wonder if the binder and poster boxes will sell as well as 151? I guess it depends on how much hype is built by the community. I hope its an awesome set!

 

[Matteloop]

Will each of the these pokemon get a SIR then, makes sense

 

[Dabfamlet]

Get hype for evolving skies 2

 

[Tomasko26]

Koraidon and... Paldean Clodsire? Ok then... At least Kyogre/Blaziken is kind of cool. Still holding out for my Rayquaza card.... cmon

 

[Alex Hesketh]

So we’re still dead set on the eeveelutions ?

 

[Grim Thoughts]

Now I’m confused again by the release schedule. They’ve been really interesting about it this past year

 

[PeterPlatinum]

Assuming the typical lack of playability from the Starter Decks, that's a lot of really cool Pokemon (Snorlax, Lugia x2, Kyogre, Dialga, Reshiram, Xerneas, Zacian) getting garbage ex-es.

 

[Moymon]

Could be a very promising set but I would wait until we get images of the cards first. The pokemon company is known to hype up real stinkers.

I guess they‘ll get an ex card /stellar card

 

[Frappa]

Oh god this set it's gonna be legendaries on the regular set and all of the eeveelutions as very expensive secrets, isn't it?

 

[Pompidumbreon]

Evolving skies 2.0? Don't make me laugh. Nobody wants eeveelutions with crowns on its head

 

[Scoitol]

Evolving skies 2.0? Don't make me laugh. Nobody wants eeveelutions with crowns on its head

I do

I personally think overhyping eeveelutions is as basic as liking Charizard - but I don't think these crowns will keep anyone from buying them. Look at Greninja.

 

[dineinunes]

Will each of the these pokemon get a SIR then, makes sense

There is literally nothing suggesting that.

 

[Matteloop]

Sp this set will be eevees with hats on and bulk ex's? Cool

 

[Dheath2]

Please let the Lugia ex be good.

You forget that not all Pokemon fans are grumpy, sour boomers like some of you fellas and that this a series precisely and directly aimed at kids, as well as people overflowing with joyfulness and adoration for silly/cute/goofy things. This is a Japanese franchise, if you cannot handle cool hats made of light, you are - whether you will ever accept this or not - fully willing to embrace Pokemon. And maybe that's fine, because it means people like me and some other folk will have more room to have fun

Gamestop had their B2G1 pro week. Literally, bought out many stores of their Greninja and Kingdra boxes to grade the cards. Had a lot of store credit from selling them many PSA cards. Still do. Now, even online at Gamestop website, they no longer have those 2 boxes (bought those as well). Definitely a good investment. So, when more info is revealed about the Terastal Festival and IF the artwork on some cards (like Umbreon ex) is beyond amazing, then yes, expect a crazy hype. Thats when all that Gamestop credit will come in handy. Pre-order the heck out of it and if there's another B2G1 pro week while they still have in stock in February/March, then yes, you should buy out as many stores as possible. Eeveelutions always sell.
