[Zierant]

That evolutions pack better be a place holder!

 

[KazamEsper]

Okay, now I want this. A Tapu(Kapu in jap) playmat exclusive? Count me in!

 

[Lord Goomy]

Thumbs up.

 

[Bournopolis]

Really looking forward to the play mat, quite a nice bonus!

Sick mat. I love that this'll make Lele more accessible. And, it's not a complete money-waster.

 

[Chimecho3000]

Those better be placeholder booster packs....don't want 4 XY series packs please.

 

[GamePhoenix]

I swear if they release this with that pack selection I will riot

 

[Number51x]

I wonder if there will be a collection like this for the other two Tapus.

Nah doubt it. They got their moment with the Island Guardians tins.

This is definitely one of the better holiday box sets that they have come out with. Because even if you have dups of lele you can never have enough, your getting the latest card packs with Lost Thunder and the coin and mat should be pretty good.

If this ships with anything before Sun & Moon it will def be a shady move by the P.C.

 

[The Last Shaymin]

yay more evolutions filler packs

cant wait to get the worst set in x/y

yay gettin some useless expanded cards with my supa overpriced tapu lele box

 

[dmode15]

OMG finally I can get a Tapu Fini without breaking the bank! lol

 

[Jenna573]

Although expect that $49.99 to translate as £49.99 as usual...

Has anyone figured out why they do this??? This is pretty common with electronics, too, including video games. Does Japan simply not understand how exchange rates work, or is it other factors like increased costs due to shipping and customs?

And there it is, the infamous Tapu Lele pin!

 

[snoopy369]

Nice, a ten dollar discount if you're mostly just Tapu Lele hunting. 8 packs (say $3 each) makes the Tapu Lele only $16.

Well, I guess that explains it. I was baffled to find this yesterday at Target (in a display along with Lost Thunder booster packs, Lost Thunder theme decks, and the Pikachu and Eevee tin with Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres promos). Meanwhile, I was there looking for the Ultra Necrozma GX box, which they hadn't received from the supplier yet.

Yeah, Target breaks release date almost automatically nowadays. Sigh. I won't buy from them when they do, not that I buy much from them over my LGS, but it's really frustrating as a former employee of a bookstore that followed release dates and got screwed by Target/Walmart too.

I don't know that I'd be shocked to see them not get the Ultra Necrozma GX box at all, at least at a lot of stores - that's a higher end box. Most of the Targets around me just carry the $19-$39 boxes but not many of the $49 or $59 boxes, only the ones that have the dedicated TCG game section at front of store (the SuperTargets etc.)
