Porygon-Z and Togekiss... yessssssss.. I'm so happy they're in the set! Thanks, WPM, this was a great update.
I'd like to raise a valid point. Since they repirnted Dialga and Palkia from D/P 1, do you think they'll rotate D/P 1 next year, since they reprinted Dialga and Palkia? Because, if they rotate D/P 1, then they couldn't have played the new Dialga and Palkia lv.x without the regular Dialga and Palkia, so they HAD to repirnt them. Are you bering with me? Agree? Yes? No?

Mmm, no. I think they were included due to lack of new Dialga or Palkia to include in the set, and also because people will need them to play the LV.Xs at the prerelease, assuming they're in GE (which I don't think they are). With the set based around Dialga, Palkia and Darkrai, the set does need them in there, reprints or not. I honestly can't see DP1 being rotated out.
It's also interesting to note that reprinted cards retain the DPBP#, unlike new cards of Pokémon that have already received a DPBP#.
OMG @ Togekiss. It's like a super Holon Lass! And Porygon-Z! (I love Porygon-Z!) It is odd that they reprinted Dialga and Palkia so early... Even though Electivire Lv.X and Lucario Lv.X were released in Mysterious Treasures, there was no Electivire or Lucario in those sets since they were in D/P, so why give Dialga and Palkia such treatment? I agree that it would be really odd if DP1 gets rotated. Meh. At least the prerelease will be interesting if Dialga and Palkia Lv.X are playable (if they're even in the set).
Awesome! I like the scans!
Only 106 cards...!!??
I thought GE was suppose to have 120, 130, or even 140 cards!!!
Moonlight Stadium was numbered #100/106. That means we are getting only 6 Lv. X at that point. If they are going to have Rare Candy in the set, the number drops to 5. Two more trainers that start with a letter after M and we're down to 3 Lv. X. It looks like we are STILL not going to get some cardss from MH/ND! That really makes me mad! It looks like we are going to have to wait until DP5 for some more of the cards! If DP5 is also delayed in the US, for some of the cards in MH/ND wouldn't have showed up for 10 MONTHS after its release in Japan. And some of those cards might be the eeveelutions!
Thanks alot for a semi-screwed up set again, PUSA!
Thanks alot!!

Dialga and Palkia reprinted so early?!? Does PUSA really rely on Japan that much?!? I'm sure that they could've done something more imaginative than that. They could have at least put the Player Club Promos in the set. Only advantage of the reprint is the cooler art.
EDIT: I didn't see the 106 cards. Why PUSA, why.

Maybe because of the whole DP5 thing, they took cards out of this set and cards out of the future DP5, and will make their own DP5 and DP6?
I just counted how many cards were in the Japanese DP4 set, and guess what that number was!
145!
Subtract 6 of the cards we got in SW
Add in 3 Lv. X from the DP3 Japanese set
Add in the 2 cards that PUSA just HAD to throw in!
Boom, we should have 144 cards in the set!
Subtract 106, the number of cards in GE...
and we get....
38 cards left out!!
PUSA, please give us 144 cards, not 106!!
Looks like we'll be waiting for Garchomp Lv. X EVEN LONGER!!
And who knows when we'll get Pory Z Lv. X!!!

Seems to be coming to be a good set, with everything being somewhat playable. It would suck if its only 3 LVX since that would make us fall more behind on LVX. The reprinting of Palkia/Dialga seem to make sense since they were in Japan, hope they actually release all the alternate art over here (Waiting on alternate art gallade/gardevoir line ^o^)
What do you guys thing will be the Pre-promos and sleeves? Im going for some reason with Rotom as promo not sure on sleeves. Will they dare and give us good ones and be Darkrai? lol

That's possible...
that is...
if PUSA doesn't decide to delay DP5. But, they didn't follow Japan, so the chances are pretty high they won't delay it.

I would love Darkrai sleeves. Also, on pokemon.com, Darkrai seems to be popping up more often. It used to never pop up for me, but today it popped up twice!! Is this finally meaning Darkrai will be revealed really soon!?
A
Amt
Only 106 cards in the set? :O Maybe there's 20 hidden cards. :F
Anyways, cool images.

106 cards. I didn't see that. Why must you torture us PUSA!?! What did we ever do to you other than make you jobs possible and your top executives rich!?! How long must we wait for some of these Japanese cards!?! Like shaymingiratina817 said, Thanks for a screwed up set again, PUSA.
The fill in set for us makes sense, because if you think about it, they had out DP 4 and 5, so another set balances it out. They shouldn't have combined them, IMO. It creates all this confusion, a ton of mess, uproar and disappointment. I'm looking forward to Garchomp Lv.X in the next set after GE. 
dmaster out.

The big thing I'm not going to be happy about is if they leave out the much-desired Eeveelutions. I've had to wait LONG ENOUGH for those cards, and I don't want to wait even longer for them. >.> They BETTER put in the Eevelutions in this set! Unfortunately, my hopes for that have been erased completely about that..... Cresselia, Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai are in this set for sure, so that means that their Lv X forms HAVE to be in this set, as well. That would leave one Lv X slot left should there be 5 Lv Xs, and I imagine that will be Porygon-Z Lv X since Porygon-Z is in this set, too. Not enough for the Eeveelutions. I imagine that the Eeveelutions and Garchomp are sadly going to be what makes up of the American DP5 set since they have a sorta "Rainbow-like" theme. Maybe DP5 will be named Rainbow Wonders? *shot*
I hope that the Eevelutions make it into this set, against all odds. Maybe even Garchomp, but that's pushing it. x.x

They probably won't be in the set due to what we know about the cards that are in the set and the fact that this set is focusing on the 10th movie. Eeveelutions complicates it too much, and saving them for the next set would give it its own merits.
garchomp isn't coming to usa [a expertm of pokemon told me]
so probably pory lvl.x isn't also.
but yeah 106cards? that just stinks ,
let's go boycott them!
