Digimon TCG Adventure Box 2 Out now and the Color Memory Boost promos are Amazing!

The Adventure Box 2 for Digimon TCG is officially along with the newest set, Resurgence Booster[RB01]. This means we have the rest of the Memory Boost Alt cards, and they look sick. They retail for $19.99, and I wouldn’t pay more than that. Right now the only place you can find them is on TCG Player (which I am an official affiliate as of today), but they are asking way too much at $44.99. Do not buy them at this price. The first Adventure Box is still available at Target for MSRP so I don’t see why the price wouldn’t come out. While the Promo card and figure would be nice to have, the better deal is getting a booster box, which you can get for as cheap as $68 with free shipping as of writing this. A better way to get the Memory Boosters at the moment is from the Gallantmon/Ulforce Veedramon Starter Decks. You can buy the set on TCG Player for $29.

That said, if the price ever goes back to MSRP, this will make a great gift for the tamer in your life. The boxes come with four packs from the new Resurgence Booster set, a small figure you can use as a memory counter, and a unique promo card you are going to want in your collection. I wish it included multiple copies or colors, but I guess they need their money too.

Resurgence Booster Box Toppers Rev and Red Memory Boost Alt card revealed!

It’s been a little slow in the world of the Digimon TCG this week, but with the release of the Resurgence Booster upon us, I am not surprised. We did get the box toppers for the set and an alt art card for the upcoming Adventure Box that I am super excited about. If you’ve been enjoying these updates, don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.


Resurgence Booster Alt Art Card

The Resurgence booster is coming out this week on the 20th, so make sure you head to your local game shop and put in your preorders. There is always TCG Players if your LGS doesn’t carry Digimon. The set will include important reprints and some new cards that both players and collectors will want to get their hands on. I will start things with the last of the alt cards revealed for the set, Proximamon.

I am a little biased, but purple is the best color. This card is just so cool. I love the mirrored images in the back, the pose, and the lighting. This is going to look sick with the foiling. It’s not my favorite alt art from the set, but it is a strong way to end the reveals.


Box Toppers

I’ve never gotten lucky with the box toppers, but I am happy for the inclusion. This set includes some neat playable ones you might want to get your hands on. This set feels very Ghost Game heavy which is fine because I love Ghost Game.


Red Memory Boost Alt Art

Finally, we are starting to get a sneak peek at the alt art cards that will be included in the Adventure Box set also releasing on September 29. The set will come with 4 boosters, a small 1-inch figure, and an alt art memory booster promo card. There hasn’t been any word on what figures will be included, but I am hoping it’s Ghost Game. I would love a little Gammamon to display on my desk. I wish they included two or the promo cards or at least a play set, having just one feels a little greedy when you need multiples for a deck. This feels fine for collectors who don’t care about multiple copies, I just hope it’s easy to find the different figures and promo cards. The first card revealed is the Red Memory boost, let’s hope the rest come soon and are as cool!

Premium Pokémon TCG Classic preorders sell out on the first day

Pokémon just announced their premium Classic TCG set, and it’s already sold out. This set takes players back to where it all started, to the classic era of Pokémon TCG, and it is beautiful. I mean it better look nice for $400. The set comes with everything a trainer needs including:

3 Preconstructed Decks

Sets will include iconic recreations from the base set including Venasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, along with 3 specially constructed 60-card decks of corresponding elements. Also included will be brand new cards like Ho-oh ex, Lugia ex, and Suicune ex to shake things up. Unfortunately, aside from the energies, none of the cards will be standard legal which is kind of a bummer, but at least it’s not Magic 30.

High Quality Board and Pieces

The set comes with everything two trainers need to play, but I doubt it will get much play based on the set’s availability and pricing. The game board folds out like a nice chess board and holds all the game pieces. The board acts as a game mat with printed zones and a cloth top for games, but I doubt it will get much use. I wish they would print out cheap paper versions for those of us who would love to share some of this nostalgia with a newer generation of trainers.

Stylish Counters and Metal Orbs

The set includes sets of premium-looking burn, poison, and damage counters. The damage counters are color-coded for ease of use, and the poison counters look nice. What is interesting about this kit is that it doesn’t include dice or a coin, but this interesting roulet system for determining turn order. While the system might be fun the first few times, I prefer using dice. I would have preferred the inclusion of a nice collectible coin.

Deck Boxes and Sleves

With an expensive set of cards, you are going to need a way to protect them. The kit comes with three specially designed deck boxes and sleeves which I have some issues with. I get that they fit the aesthetic and they won’t get much play, but they are kind of boring. The deck boxes are fine, I enjoy the minimalism, but I don’t know how I feel about the sleeves. I guess it’s fine for a product that probably will never get shuffled.

Conclusion

The set sells for $399.99, but good luck finding it at this price after today. The set looks like a premium product and something with this much nostalgia is going to attract scalpers. I wish they released a generic cheap version with a paper mat and cardboard counters for players, but I guess it would make this set a little less special.

You can keep checking the Pokémon Center site for availability or hope it comes to a big retailer or LGS. I’ll keep an eye out, but with something this big, it’s going to be tricky to find it outside of a reseller. And make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends if you’ve been enjoying these updates.

The Cards Included!

Premium Bandai just dropped a MG KÄMPFER SCHWER, and it’s pretty sick

Premium Bandai just put a bunch of swag on their Gundam store page, so make sure you check it out if you need to update your wardrobe. What I am most excited about are the gunpla kits they just put up for preorder. They have a couple of fun colored Zaku’s and a cool master grade kit you might want to pick up. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.


MG 1/100 KÄMPFER SCHWER ($71)

I’ll start with what I believe to be the coolest kit of the announcements. I love the black and details, the decals will surely give me trouble but the end result is worth it. Preorders for the KÄMPFER SCHWER are open till January 2nd, or till supplies run out. It is expected to ship in February.
