Seems like it might be a bit of a better deal than the last one depending on how you price the items included. Not excited to drop $80, but excited for the item!

UK is getting screwed over again...
"Content:
  • A full-art rainbow promo card featuring Ho-Oh-GX
  • 2 never-before-seen foil promo cards featuring Shining Lugia and Shining Celebi
  • A foil promo card featuring Pikachu
  • 8 Pokémon TCG: Shining Legends booster packs
  • A poster featuring 9 Shining Pokémon
  • An oversize full-art rainbow promo card featuring Ho-Oh-GX
  • A code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online"
Granted the half price does reflect this but still what's the point? The ETB seems much better investment. Smh.

Hmm, yep. No real surprises here, other than the identity of the Pikachu promo card.

I really want to pick this up, just for the Lugia and to open some packs of this set...Also, I haven't seen a playmat included in a boxed product like this before, and I'd be pretty happy if it was sturdy and not just a piece of paper.

Probably going to have to be a Christmas gift to myself, because I don't trust these to stay on the shelves >.>

Does it reflect the price of 2 less packs, no figure, no playmat, and no boxes? I'd definitely pay the $40. I think the figures are usually hit or miss, and the boxes are probably not that great as a storage option. But the playmat might end up being really nice for sure.

I'm interested in seeing what the play mat looks like as well. I've seen some at Worlds this past weekend and they had some nice looking and sturdy mats. Haha my birthday comes up on Thanks Giving, so it amy way of saying to myself that Im thankful for this release ;)! XD

Ugh really? They made Lugia a promo too?
These boxes are starting to get kind of irritating.

For me I see it as an easy way to guarantee getting "chase" cards(atleast in zoroark's case" Especially since there are no booster boxes for shining legends


That being said this seems like a much better deal than the best of xy box. 3 good promos, 10 packs and the playmat is enough I'd say to justify a heftier price tag than you're average figure collection

I really hope that the playmat doesn't have a big "Super Premium Collection" on it. If it's just great art, it'll be so much more hype.

My Mega Salamence collection came with a playmat; it's fairly well made.
In-line with some of the Ultra Pro rubber mats.

So, I'm hopeful that this will at least be of similar quality~
