I wonder if the Booster Bundle exists just so someone can easily buy the minimum packs needed, if getting nothing else, to get free shipping from the Pokemon Center? lol

These cards were already not allowed at official events, as stated by the small text on the bottom border.

While Lechonk's name might very well be intentionally meme-y, here's also another origin of its name.

lol The exchange rate has been so crazy this year. Wish they could keep TCG stuff in stock on the Japanese Pokemon Center website.

The article says May 13th. So May 12th probably around 6:00 PM PT.

I can't help but wonder if Pokemoa drew those Arezu sleeves. I think I've only seen one instance where they noted the illustrator on the sleeve package...

I don't think this suggests the return of Cups and Challenges anytime soon. Local events are considered unsanctioned. Premier events are currently recognized as Regional, International, and World Championships.

I wish the Shining Fates tins looked like that...

Would be totally random if they just threw in Arceus packs. lol

I wonder how this will affect the Team Challenge. lol Depending on when Season 3 was agreed to, maybe that's what delayed an earlier release of Live. Maybe they had to make sure TCGO could still be used in case anyone participating logs into Live and migrates, assuming migrating automatically...

If you look at previous designs, I think you'll see that they probably intentionally put the "face" of a set on the 4-pocket portfolio. Maybe to make people buy both, or at least make the smaller one as desirable?

Wait. They couldn't do this when they released their recent Piplup line of stuff? :/ The Yu Nagaba Pikachu was out at the time so maybe they didn't want overlap...

I wish I saw these here...

I see no reason to provide compensation for something completely out of their control. Maybe if there was a significant delay. Like months. Even then, I wouldn't expect much of anything.

With these coming out in waves, maybe they're just trying to lessen the load on their packers and shippers? Especially with Evolving Skies coming up in a week. Or they have staff keeping an eye on the cards to avoid theft :P
