Seems like a monumental waste of packaging materials⊠not that I care too much but still! There are some pretty cool cards too I would have liked to have gotten a booster box or two and opened a new set for the first time in 15 years.
It is not near how cool the others are. Retro and badass. Pikachu just doesnt do it for me. It should be the newer sugimore style, not this mad thingy.
Eh I kind of like the Pikachu for some reason, though the Blastoise and Charizard take the cake. Possibly dumb question, but what are the print runs like for these FA Boxes? Should I preorder a few boxes each, or will I be able to find them in stores for a while? Do they run until the next box is released or printed for a year?(For all those who buy direct)
Pre-order?: Yes. If you can. They have been running out on store shelves pretty thoroughly. Even those that remain could potentially run out as people go back for the older promos. I believe they will sell out everywhere within a couple months of the end of the year run at the latest.
Each box is given one distribution. They are supposed to release one a month for twelve months (with the Red and Blue collections coming once a quarter). Delays and attempts at catching up have complicated this, but they will still be released this way approximately.
Thanks! Pretty sure I read that before about the mythical boxes, but couldnât find it after searching a bit. Wasnât 100% sure on the red/blue collections as they were quarterly.
That would make too much sense. I expect them to overprint like they always do. Went to multiple Targets to see if the new tins were out, and every one had no shelf space because old tins.
