Avatar the Last Air Bender is huge news because it will be exclusive to English
Ohh! Avatar the last air bender release?! That’s sick! I hope they get the original VA’s for the signs and not people from the upcoming series’.
It’s hard to say. We should know by early 2023.
Deck Reprints for early 2023 for English for Kaguya-Sama & Date a Live. TD SP will have silver stamps instead of Gold ( first print had gold) .
Awesome thread and very useful to keep track of upcoming sets for us newbies to Weiss. I have opened 1 Rent-a-Girlfriend box and no signatures rares so I will probably backstrack to previous sets and take a look at specific VA cards I want.
Another Key set? Hell yes!
Forgot to add my cards. Currently trying to grade most of the 2020 Key 20th Anniversary set but I got these back not too long ago from PSA.
Weiss really only came on my radar when they released their Mob Psycho and Adventure Time sets, but it didn’t result in me buying anything. This time I think I’ll actually buy some booster boxes for the Chainsaw Man set. I’ve been hoarding the Chainsaw Man promo Weiss cards because I’m a desperate Tatsuki Fujimoto fan. If they have a card with Fujimoto’s signature on it, I’ll be buying cases to get it lol. I realize they just do signatures of VA’s but I think they should make an exception for Tatsuki Fujimoto.
I wish I was into it when Adventure Time released. I’m pretty new to Weiss myself. Chainsaw Man is probably one of the most anticipated weiss titles in 2023. We don’t know yet but never know it could get the Dragonmaid treatment where its mangaka stamped/signed only. Licensing especially for VA signatures is tricky business.
Star Wars rereleased this month. This set is Japanese exclusive thanks to licensing and the big hitters are the Darth Vader cards:
I’ve been getting into it recently basically going in blind. Any YouTube recommendations? I’m not into hype channels. I’m looking for channels like SMp when it comes to history and knowledge and twicebakedjake when it comes to recent releases and early impressions.
I would recommend Big B for Weiss. His videos are geared towards collectors. He even has videos to help identify fakes now that it is an issue in Weiss.
Pixar Cars theme deck released earlier this month. Pixar decks of Toy Story and Monsters Inc released earlier in the summer ahead of the set release next month. Link is below for the teaser cards for the main Pixar set. The big deck hits for Cars are Mater SP and Lightning McQueen SP:
Tomorrow there should be some news regarding English releases:
Oct. 11, 2022 8PM (PDT)/ 11PM (EDT)
Oct. 12, 2022 5AM (CEST)/11AM (SGT)/2PM (AET)
On their Twitter they are dropping hints and one of them is either fruits basket or fruit of girsaia. Tomorrow we will definitely know. Hoping they show some samples from the avatar the last Airbender set.
Some news from the Bushiroad conference. Some new sets announced, top up sets to make older decks playable, and first look at some avatar cards:
I don’t collect Weiss or know much about it, but I love the Avatar universe. Intellectual property partnering is such a brilliant CCG marketing tool.
Definitely one of the best promos!
