Blast Ace releases on November 17th, so let’s keep the reveals going with the black card list. I am very excited to see characters from the Digimon Seekers web novel pop up in the card game. Black has lots of fun colors and some iconic scenes and characters from the web novel. I love the Neo Tokyo vibe of some f these cards, and all the different Numemon are a nice treat.
You can read the Digimon Seekers web novel on the official website, but I’ve also been working on cleaning up the translation on my blog. Check them out when you have a chance!

Charizard ex Premium Collection ($39.99)
I know the Charizard ex Premium Collection isn’t explicitly a holiday item, but it is a solid gift for the holidays. I know a lot of people are sick of playing Charizard ex decks, especially on the PTCGL ladder, but its a solid card.
The set includes:
1 etched foil promo card featuring Charizard ex
2 foil cards featuring Charmander and Charmeleon
6 Pokémon TCG booster packs
1 magnetic card protector with display base
65 card sleeves featuring Charizard as a Tera Pokémon
A code card for Pokémon TCG Live
You can pick it up at the Pokémon Center for $39.99, but I found it on TCG Player for as low as $32.99.
Pokémon TCG: Holiday Calendar ($49.99)
If you are looking for a nice holiday treat, you might want to pick up the Pokemon TCG Holiday Calendar. This neat little twist on the advent calendar is the perfect gift for the trainer in your life
The set includes:
8 foil Pokémon TCG cards with a festive stamp
5 Pokémon TCG booster packs
7 Pokémon TCG 3-card fun packs
2 Pokémon coins
2 Pokémon sticker sheets
1 sidekick dangler featuring Pikachu and Glaceon
A code card for Pokémon TCG Live!
You can pick yours up at Pokémon Center for $49.99, but I also found them on TCG Player for as cheap as $43.
Pokémon Holiday Village
If you are still in need of some holiday decorations, the Pokémon Holiday Village might be a great place to start. The pieces are super cute, and I can only assume the quality will be fantastic!
I don’t want this post to get too long, so make sure you check out the holiday page to see everything else they have. There is cookware, sweaters, and a bunch of sold-out plushies. I’ll leave pictures below!
All the plushies are sold out as of writing this, but maybe you’ll get lucky
Premium Bandai just dropped a few kits that you are going to want to look into. I know my wallet is getting scared. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.
Master Grade
ECLIPSE GUNDAM ($52)
I love the shape of this kit, and it transforms! The MG ECLIPSE GUNDAM kit is a 1/100 scale model going for $52, which isn’t terrible for a Master Grade. It does have add-ons that I will go over down below. The kit is available for preorder till March 4th or until supplies run out. It is expected to ship in April 2024.
MANEUVER STRIKER for ECLIPSE GUNDAM ($32)
If you want to spruce up your Eclipse Gundam, Premium Bandai is releasing the two Striker kits to add to your collection. I’ll start with the Maneuver Striker kit because I think it is the cooler of the two. The Maneuver Striker is a 1/100 scale model you can pick up for $32. You can display it in its vehicle mode, or combine it with your Eclipse Gundam for some cool action poses! Preorders are open till March 4, or till supplies run out. Kits ship out in April.
RAIJIN STRIKER ($34)
The Raijin Striker is still cool, especially when you transform your Eclipse Gundam into the ship, but I still like the aesthetics of the Maneuver Stricker a bit better. It is still a fun add-on if you need it. The Raijin Striker is also a 1/100 scale model, and you can pick one up for $34. Preorders are open till March 4th, or until supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in April.
Real Grade
OO XN RAISER ($50)
Out of all the builds I’ve done so far, I think I’ve had the most fun building my Real Grade kit. While I love the casual building experience that High Grades offer, the details that Real Grades have are just so satisfying to see in person. Premium Bandai has a 1/144 scale OO XN RAISER RG kit and I am tempted. This kit looks so cool. I love the accessories, and I know it’s going to look amazing on the shelf. The kit costs $50, and preorders are open till February 2nd, or when supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in March.
High Grade
GM [MOROCCAN FRONT TYPE] ($22)
These little HG kits are always a blast to build. I love how unique it will look in my collection against the more traditional-looking Gundams. This kit has such a visually pleasing color scheme. The GM [MOROCCAN FRONT TYPE] is a 1/44 scale model you can pick up for only $22. Preorders are open til February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits ship in March 2024.
We just got some more spoilers for the upcoming Paradox Rift set, and it is hard not to be excited. Especially when you see the alt art cards. This round of spoilers is full of cards you are going to want in your binder. Hopefully, the pull rates are better than 151. Paradox Rift releases on November 3rd. I’ll leave links below on where you can preorder if your LGS isn’t an option. Please use my affiliate links where possible. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
Where to Buy
If you’d like to preorder any Paradox Rift product, always check with your LGS, but I’ve collected a few options in case that isn’t an option. Use my TCG Player affiliate links when possible. Everything is in stock as of making this post, but I’ll do my best to keep them updated. And remember, with how much Pokémon overprints, it is never a good idea to pay scalper prices, especially on preorders.
Pokémon Paradox Rift releases on November 11, and it is bringing in some cool cards and mechanics that are sure to shake up the meta. Always support your LGS, but I’ve collected links in case that isn’t possible. Please use my affiliate links where possible. And remember, never pay the scalpers!

Random Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box
This set will have two elite trainer boxes: Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant. There will also be two promos for these kits: Screaming Tail and Iron Bundle. I don’t know how these will be distributed. I’m assuming each promo is exclusive to one box to incentivize people to purchase both, but we will have to see. The only other difference is what art you want on the box, coin, sleeves, and dice. If you don’t care about which box you get, then you should place your preorder at Best Buy or Game Stop.
Roaring Moon ETB ($39)
Now if you care about what ETB you get, you’re going to have to hit up your LGS, or trusted retailer. I am going to be a little shameless and plug TCG Player because I am an affiliate. I’ve bought a lot of products through them in the past and have never had an issue. I’ve found ETBs as cheap as $39 from trusted, high-rated sellers, but use your own discretion. If you are looking for a Roaring Moon ETB, grab it using my affiliate link!
Now if you want both, you can save a little cash on a bundle. TCG Player has a few sellers selling the ETB Bundle for a reasonable price, make sure you use my affiliate link.
6 Pack Bundle ($26.94)
Now if you just want packs and don’t care about the sleeves and other extras, the 6 pack isn’t a bad deal. You’re missing out on the promo, but that doesn’t matter if you are only wanting to crack packs. You can pick up the bundles at Best Buy, Game Stop, and the Pokémon Center. I have seen them as cheap as $23 on TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!
3 PK Blister Packs ($13.99)
These bundles are fine if you want the special promos included. You are paying a few cents extra for the promo which isn’t a huge deal. As far as I can tell, the blister packs are only exclusive to Best Buy for preorder, but that might change on release. You are getting a random bundle like the ETBs, but that isn’t as big of a deal in this case.
Build and Battle Stadium ($59.99)
Boxes include:
2 individual Build & Battle Boxes, each containing a ready-to-play 40-card deck
Each deck includes 1 of 4 foil promo cards
3 additional Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift booster packs, so you get 11 in all
121 Basic Energy cards
6 damage-counter dice
1 competition-legal coin-flip die
2 coin condition markers
A collector’s box to hold everything
Now these are arguably the worst deal unless you like the sealed draft, prerelease experience. This is a fun kit to buy if you and your buddies buy into a couple, and make a day of it. These kits release on November 17, and you can preorder them at Gamestop. I found them as cheap as $53 on TCG Player. Use my Affiliate Link!
Booster Box ($107)
Booster boxes are always the best deal if you just want to crack open boxes. I love buying booster boxes, but I just like to crack them for fun. I never intend to make any money buying these. If you are looking for a Paradox Rift Booster box, the best deals are over at TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!
I am going to finish the Paradox Rift spoilers with the trainer cards. There is also a special energy card I’ll be including because it doesn’t make sense to make a separate post for just one card. Paradox Rift releases on November 3rd. If you want to preorder any product, I’ll leave links at the bottom. Please use my affiliate links where possible.

I didn’t think we would get so many kits in such a short time, but here we are. Premium Bandai just dropped seven new kits for preorder, and I need a couple of these on my shelves. If you enjoy these updates, don’t forget to like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
Master Grades
HYAKU-SHIKI CRASH ($60)
Premium Bandai dropped four new master-grade kits, and I am starting with the one I think is the coolest. I love the all-black and how the blue just pops for the eyes. This HYAKU-SHIKI CRASH is a 1/100 scale model available for preorder until February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits are expected to ship in March 2024.
MARASAI – GUNDAM UNICORN Ver. ($44)
This just looks like a fun kit. There weren’t many pictures available, maybe because it is a reissue, but I’ll take it! The Marasai is a 1/100 scale model available for preorder until February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits are expected to ship in March.
ZAKU CANNON – GUNDAM UNICORN Ver. ($47)
Who doesn’t need another Zaku? Zaku’s are so much fun to build, and this one is going to look great on any shelf. This Zaku Cannon is a 1/100 scale model available for preorder until February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits are expected to ship in March.
MSA-003 NEMO – Unicorn Desert Ver. ($32)

High Grade Kits
LOAD ASTRAY Ω ($26)
The high-grade kits from this drop are so cool, that I had trouble choosing what to lead with. The Load Astray ultimately won because of its color scheme and detail. I love this gunpla’s design.

HEAVY GUNDAM (ROLLOUT COLOR) ($24)
Last but not least we have the Heavy Gundam which looks amazing! The only reason this kit is last is because it has a lot of details, and I am terrible at putting on decals. That said, I need it in my collection. I love the weapons for this kit, and the details look cool. This looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun to build. The Heavy Gundam is a 1/144 scale model available for preorder until February 2nd, or until supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in March.
