[arulz]

Would be pretty awesome if the cards had hyper realistic art!!!

IS THE SPECIAL EXTRA PROMO GONNA BE MR. MIME GX?

They've revealed Mr. Mime is in the movie, so there wouldn't be any reason to hide it if it were the third GX.

They're European prices converted to US prices. I've removed them from the story now since they'll probably be marked up anyway.

Oh boy!!! we get another mini set! and it probably will have digital artwork almost ripped straight from the game!

 

[CxEriK]

booster packs? So it's a expansion like shining legends? oh my money

Well who WOULDN’T want to hide THAT?

The special tin has a code card for PTCGO, so they will most likely be tournament legal.

Considering how we are going to be getting these cards, and that they're promotional tie-ins for a movie; chances are most (if not all) of these cards are going to have zero playability when it comes to the competitive aspect. They will probably be visually bright, or flashy, or pleasing to entice people to buy them. Forsaking playability in the name of visual appeal, I guess.

 

[DragonFang101]

So that's what this was. A setup.

 

[Poke_collector]

So is this gonna be a special set like dragon majesty?

 

[AngryBokoblin]

At tournaments, you just see someone lecture and then put down 3 of these:

 

[DMYSYS]

Could possibly just be Topps-style cards? I remember collecting them for the Mewtwo movie back in 98 or 99.

 

[The Almighty Bidoof]

I think the mystery GX will be Mewtwo.
