Yeah. This is going to be the best set of the year and probably one of the best sets of all-time. Just absolutely INSANE art.

This could easily be one of the greatest sets of all time… they just keep one upping themselves. Its madness. Got an email from Pokemon Center JP, theyre opening lottery sales for VSTAR Universe. They also seem to be restocking the Okinawa playmat, so im going to need to enter that lottery as well lmao.

Several different release dates, but the main items on 20 jan 2023

C’mon Pokemon, my wallet can only take so much abuse! Crown Zenith has some absolute bangers in it.
Odd that Lumineon is getting such special treatment in SwSh. This is its second Alt Art. Definitely not complaining because both arts are beautiful, but still strange for such an unpopular Pokemon, nonetheless.

it allows you to search out any supporter when played from the hand onto the bench. after rotation, it’ll be the only support V that is played in most decks (since crobat will be rotating)

This may become the most graded Japanese set of all time.

Of course, you also need to know Ditto’s name in Japanese so it might not be helpful either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh hey that’s interesting. Today I learned there’s no Kanji in Pokémon.
Yeah right! Lol definitely a language I want to learn 
From today’s livestream:
Zeraora VSTAR - Ligton
Deoxys VMAX - Akira Komayama
Leafeon VSTAR - Jiro Sasumo
Glaceon VSTAR - Gemi
Gemi is entering the TCG scene with Glaceon VSTAR. They’re well known for illustrations in advertising (book covers, CDs, etc). They also drew the Suicune concept card from the 2021 Illustration Magazine

Even tough this set looks great, I would say that ES has still more interesting cards. Not by much, but still. Especially the Alt arts are more interesting to me.

My japanese contact normally asks 130-150k per Case, shipped via Exrpess on release day. I asked him yesterday about a Case of S12a shipped on Dec 2nd he says the price is 320k per 1x Case. He says he has so many requests he just keeps increasing the price until someone says no thank you. That someone was me yesterday I guess.
