Good luck getting this stuff. Ultra Premium Collection is being sold for $400 at card/hobby stores so I can only imagine what the prices will be like on places like ebay...
Sooo, I'm just curious how things are down in the USA with preordering Celebrations merchandise? All of the local card stores that I looked into up in Ontario, Canada, are selling some merchandise for scalper prices. For example, the Ultra Premium Collection is going for around $400 up here...
Unless Pokemon is going to change their minds/rules about how alternate cards are done, I'm almost thinking that the shiny Pokemon WON'T be alternate art cards.
Hear me out: every alternate art card released so far had the original set symbol and number (albeit with a lower case "a" or "b"). I...
Well, we still never got FA Lady. I think they're holding off on some FAs and Secret Rares (like the Stadiums) and I think they're gonna include them in a subset (maybe our Fall/Winter one?) that will include the Shiny Pokemon from GX Ultra Shiny. They also held out on some of the FAs from that...
So it looks like the walking slow/tip-toeing mechanic is back. The female trainer was doing it just before the random encounter started.
I think Scorbunny is scorch + bunny. And Sobble most likely is based off of a chameleon as it was camouflaging in the water.
In terms of the Galar Region...
According to the TCG Promo legality list (https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg-promo-card-legality-status/) it looks like Leafeon and Glaceon are not going to be Alternate Art Promos after all. It's curious that Sylveon isn't listed.
So has anyone figured out TPCi's reasoning behind what becomes a Black Star Promo vs. an Alternate Art Promo? I thought that after the introduction of Alternate Arts that all similar cards with different artwork would become Alternate Art cards. With this, though, it just seems like more of TPCi...
Nope. This doesn't make me happy at all. I'm sick of Kanto, I was never a fan of Pokemon GO, and I do not like that it seems that there are no new Pokemon (unless the teaser at the end was referencing that). I'm now looking forward to the core games coming in 2019.
I love how TPCi went out of their way to obscure the numbers of the cards. I have a feeling that these are not going to be Black Star Promos this time, but Alternate Art promos.
Did anyone else notice how all of the promos on the blisters are Alternate Art cards? Even the Porygon is alternate. Does the Porygon have a regular card in the set?
