> [@milhouse](#): > > ![](http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0615/XY-Break-Poster.jpg) This is really ugly. Looks cheap. Hope they’ll do shining like cards. But probably will be more along the lines of the gold cards we’ve seen. Maybe ancient trait with golden shining pokemon. Something like that will not float my boat. ---

Those who purchase two booster boxes of XY8 in Japan will receive a full art, holographic Skyla promo. The poster says the card will be a reprint of the existing Skyla, but with brand new artwork. It also says Skyla was chosen because she is a popular Gym Leader. ![](http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0715/Skyla-XY8-Box-Promo.jpg) ![](http://cdn.meme.am/images/10432150.jpg) ---

It’ll be interesting to see the new Skyla. That’s for sure! That’s the only thing I regret about now switching the bulk of my orders to amiami, is that I don’t get the booster box promos as much anymore. I’m also a bit peeved that they’ve somewhat switched it to every 2 boxes now instead of every 1. ---

When ordering overseas does amiami ever ship you the promo for buying more than one? ---

> [@woolsluk](#): > > When ordering overseas does amiami ever ship you the promo for buying more than one? Nope. You need to get them from the Center. I usually get my friend to grab me a few boxes so I can get the boxtopper, but lately I haven’t because the sets haven’t been that nice… I can’t wait for Legendary Shine though. ---

> [@milhouse](#): > > > [@fourthstartcg](#): > > > > @milhouse True…it just seems like a little bit more than a coincidence that they are releasing Blue and Red themed sets featuring a (or maybe the) Kanto legendary right before the 20th anniversary of those original games. And I see your argument for the set block name, but it was not changed for ORAS-based TCG sets, they kept the XY naming system and featured XY Pokemon. I figure new remakes would follow the ORAS trend by not breaking the XY set block. > > It could go either way. I think both situations are plausible. > > I think we will absolutely be seeing a Gen 1 remake next year, and a Gen 1 themed block of TCG series. But I think this year is too early for it. With the popularity of the TCG where it stands now, I wonder if it’s possible that record number of sales could be broken. I think people would go all out ---

So… anyone got friends in Japan for when the time comes so I can get my skyla promo without buying it and they can just send it with some boxes over? ---

> [@milhouse](#): > > * * * > > That new ‘BREAK’ card design looks very interesting, and I mean that positively. > > Is this a return of Legend Half/Half Cards? There is an attack on Zoroark BREAK. From CollectorViper: [Dark] Foul Play Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokemon’s attacks and use it as this attack. Viper doesn’t think we’ll see two cards, and I agree. The card seems too complete to need a second half. I honestly think the design is this way because they couldn’t fit Zoroark-BREAK in a regular name box 😛 Still, looks very cool!
