I’ve been mired in manga so I guess I missed it. Digimon Tri was just woeful tripe so perhaps I saw a new digimon series and wrote it off. I heard mixed things about the game. The actual story seems to be fleshed out, and with good acting and animation. HOwever all the negative reviews seem to point out that its a total nickel and dime you microtransactionfest. However if the game isn’t butchered and carved up to sell back to me twice, I can live without it. I haven’t looked further into it. But considering pokemon committed the greedy sin of selling you core features as DLC in the latest game its no better. Modern gaming is just terrible in general if its not some little indie game from a guy at home.

Tri was pretty garbage. It’s what happens when writers think anything targeted at an adult audience has to be dark and edgy. I enjoyed seeing the Adventure kids grown up, but hated the melodrama, rushed plot points and focus on the new sad-bait character.
I’d recommend starting with the original Digimon Adventure or Digimon Tamers in Japanese (the English dubs have not aged well and changed a lot of things to be less faithful to the source).
Haven’t heard anything about microtransactions for Time Stranger. I think it’s more people complaining about overpriced DLC, which is valid.

I’m DLC’s biggest opp. I have a long memory when it comes to videogames and the whittling down of things. I will put the OG show on in japanese sometime. I know the localization took a lot of liberties.

Last year I watched DiscoTek’s blu-ray release of Digimon Adventure in Japanese and really enjoyed it! I have the 02 Blu-Ray but haven’t started it yet. I’m really excited for the Tamer’s blu-ray to release because that was my favorite Digimon series as a kid. My brother and I would watch it every morning when they had reruns on. For some reason, when there was like 3 episodes left, the TV station dropped Digimon for a Spider-Man cartoon so I never got to see how it ended.
I’m also excited to watch Tamers in Japanese because Masako Nozawa, the Japanese voice of Goku, voices Guilmon.
I also purchased Time Strangers for PS5 since it was on sale. Excited to check that out eventually

Tamers is also my favourite Digimon series (tho Adventure isn’t far behind)! I rewatched it over the Christmas break and it was phenomenal how well-composed it is for a children’s show (same writer as Serial Experiments Lain, with many similiar ideas and early 2000s viewpoints exploring digital technology). I also got to finally see how it ends, not because the episodes weren’t aired here, but rather because the D-Reaper gave me nightmares as a kid (it still creeps me out) and I was too scared to watch the finale. 
Masako Nozawa’s voice acting is a huge treat. I didn’t even know it was her until Guilmon becomes Dukemon/Gallantmon, and then you really hear the Goku!

Realized I never posted the “hits” from my booster box! Each box comes with a set rate of 3 SRs (super rares)
One of two secret rares OR an alt art (I got a secret rare)
And a rare in each pack that didn’t have the above. Over the past few years the SRs have been bumped up to textured and the rares are now foil instead of gold-bordered, but I do think these look nice
As well, I picked up a booster box 02, also from 2020. This is when they introduced the last 2 colours into the game: purple and black.

Fantastic pulls Drew. I got the same MetalGreymon from my box, but in English, where everything is a little bit more annoying because they split BT01-BT03 between two special release boxes… Sigh.
Digimon collecting is a bit of a weird one for me because I got my favourite card right off the bat, so it’s like, where do I go from here?!
Just slowly working on completing all Booster releases and EX sets in binders. Mostly complete BT01-BT09, EX01, EX07, now and BT19, BT20, BT22.
It’s very enjoyable and it’s also great to see your collection, so keep 'em coming!

That’s all I ever had as a kid, haha!! All I needed!!
In seriousness, that’s an awesome card. If pull rates are this good, I just might jump ship from $90 cases of sealed MetaZoo…

The nostalgia is insane. I’ve just rewatched Adventure 01 and am just up to the Dark Masters arc, love it. In many ways I prefer Digimon but I leant more into Pokémon as a kid. I’ll say less, but on direct comparison, so many things are actually more impressive, like the first movie, the anime, the games…

Like a lot of folks here, I grew up with the original Digimon Adventure. I enjoyed it a lot and remember being absolutely floored when we got WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon (since at the time everyone though Perfect/Ultimate was the highest stage).
I recently discovered that special serialized cards of both WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were relased last year with Special Booster 2.5, with only 300 copies total of each printed in English. The art was phenonenal for both, showing the full evolutionary line in the background. It’s probably why I love the Mega Evolution cards like Mega Gardevoir and Mega Charizard X, because the art direction is so similar.
Anyway, long story short, I wanted to get both of these cards eventually so I checked around at my LGS and to my surprise they had the MetalGarurumon! Some more searching around later and I was able to locate the WarGreymon from a different store.
The absolutely incredible thing was both copies I found just so happened to have matching serial numbers (201/300)! I knew at that point it was meant to be and bought both cards. They are absolutely gorgeous in person!
If you know anything about Digimon, you will understand the significance of the matching numbers. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon fuse together to become Omegamon (Omnimon), so having them match like this couldn’t be more perfect.
Easily the most excited I’ve been collecting in a long time. With the Pokemon market filled with so much noise and inaccessible prices, these two cards brought so much joy to me and were the perfect way to kick off 2026.
