We have another product coming out with Shining Legends packs.

"Shining Legends Special Collection—Zoroark-GX

Launch: November 03, 2017

Slipping through the night like a master of illusions, Zoroark-GX is a wily Pokémon that’s tough to capture—except in this collection! You get Zoroark-GX as a stunning full-art promo card, plus a Zorua foil card, a Zoroark-GX oversize card, and five Pokémon TCG: Shining Legends booster packs. It’s a collection worth capturing, even in the dark of night!

Each Pokémon TCG: Shining Legends Special Collection—Zoroark-GX includes:

1 full-art foil promo card featuring Zoroark-GX

1 foil promo card featuring Zorua

1 full-art oversize card featuring Zoroark-GX

5 Pokémon TCG: Shining Legends booster packs

A Zoroark coin

A code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online

The Pokémon TCG: Shining Legends Special Collection—Zoroark-GX will be available November 3, 2017, in the Pokémon Center and where Pokémon TCG products are sold."

My initial thoughts:

-Glad to see it released at the same time through the Pokemon Center as small stores.
-This makes it unique from Generations as we have a similar product for everything so far except fewer pin boxes for Shining Legends and now a completely unique collection box
-Seems SUPER fast to put out a promo version of one of the key chase cards in the new set.
-Retail price is $29.99 which is $10-20 cheaper than other collection boxes, but the price per pack is higher than usual IIRC?
-With such a rushed release, I wonder if this is additional precedence to believe Shining Legends is not intended to be a dragged-out set like the quarterly releases.
-Jumbo cards are still abominations

I’d assume that more and more Shining Legends product is on it’s way.

I’m really not convinced they want this interfering with Crimson Invasion and the biggest promo collection box ever during Christmas season. Unless they put this in other products like a standard set, diverging from their Generations tactics.

Time will tell but I’m still not convinced this is going to be as widely printed as it might seem.

I spoke with my distributor, and they told me they can order more product from Pokémon. What that means long term Im not sure. Perhaps it will have the allocation generations had where mythical boxes rotated out. We will get a better idea in 4-6 months.

I was looking at bulbapedia and saw that the shining lugia and celebi were not in the English set?
Are they just never going to be released but only as promos?
I thought they would be much more popular than lets say volcanion or genesect.

@masonkampe

They will be included in Super Premium Ho-oh collection box.

My ETB came and I got 9 standard holos and an Entei GX. Incredibly disappointed in my luck. :confused:

I’m starting to see where you’re coming from on this. Though I’d be surprised if they cut the release (super) short it does seem possible… Usually we hear about all the new releases far in advance of them actually being released. And outside of the Super Premium and Zoroark boxes I haven’t heard of any other product for this set being released. Short of them stuffing packs into future boxes this print run may be significantly smaller than any recent set.

I surprisingly had pretty good luck with my ETB. Shining Arceus and regular Raichu GX and Mewtwo GX, not bad at all. Normally I’m lucky to pull a single GX card out of an ETB with no holos or anything noteworthy.

Got incredibly lucky with my box I guess;
Mewtwo GX, Raichu GX, Entei annnnnnddddddd the one and only, the one I was after, the o-so-beautiful lab Mewtwo.

However, as I turned the card, I noticed it has a lot of very small white speckles… Pretty disappointed, as the card seems flawless besides that.
