Upcoming box collections

It hasn't been too long since I have opened some packs, but I'm am for sure itching to open some right now! I'm even having some thoughts to buy another booster box just because I want something cool but I can't! I need to save so I can buy a 3DS console in preparation for X&Y.  

I was just browsing on PokeBeach and I saw the RED GENESECT COLLECTION! Too awesome! if you read the details on what the box collection comes with, it is almost a better deal then an elite box!

Shiny Pokemon Freebie at your local EB games & Gamestop

I'm actually quite late on finding out about this but yesterday I found out about this freebie for Dialga, Palkia and Gratina.  When someone says shiny anything, I think shiny cards and the awesome designs Pokemon artists comes up with. The cards are cooler LOL but I mean it is free so who cares!

Pokemon X & Y limited edition 3DS consoles for Europe and North America

A few months back, I was searching up more about the upcoming Pokemon X & Y (official release date on October 12, 2013) and I saw Japan's limited edition X & Y 3DS consoles and they were quite nice, especially the gold one which I was hoping that North American's would be able to buy as well.

Pokemon X & Y News

If you haven't heard already, game freak director was on Pokemon direct broadcasted worldwide yesterday.  They released more news about the upcoming Pokemon X & Y.

  I thought they mega evolution was only for the ones they showed at the worlds but I guess not since they announced the mega evolution for Blastoise, Charzard, and Venusaur.   Ohhh baby they are too cool!  I love the design for mega Charzard but I'm pretty said for Venisaur's design.  He/ she got a bigger flower palm tree, hurray? And don't get me started about Blastoise.  It looks like he/ she just got a little older with that goatee going on in the front and a ridiculously longer cannon that can shoot up to 6 miles.  LOL! WHAT!  Can he/she clean my car please?  Other then that, they do look pretty darn cool.

Plasma Blast Solar Strike Theme deck opening

I know I know.  It's been about two weeks since Plasma Blast has come out.  I get it.  I'm late LOL.  Better late then never? Anyways here is one out of the two theme decks that always come out when a new set is released.  This collection contains solar strike featuring Volcarona and Mind Wipe featuring a non-EX Genesect.  Out of the two, this Solar strike is the one people are running to right now and I can see why.  As for the price, these go for $15 in big retailers such as Wal-Mart or Toys R Us but comic book store prices vary and usually is actually cheaper too!  

For those who live in my area in Vancouver, here are the prices I have seen:

Sakura Media $12.99

Metropolis Comics and Toys $11.99

Connection Games $10 for Mind Wipe and $18 for Solar Strike (why such a big difference...) 

Core games in Richmond does not carry it as of this moment.

I actually really like this theme deck's packaging.  It is sparkly! Oohhh.  I always love Pokemon's packaging since it is eye catching and the art work is right on point.

Nintendo 2DS?!?! Seriously?

I don't know exactly what to think when i saw this on my Facebook page from my local Pokemon fan page upload.  I thought it was a joke but it isn't.  I don't get it at all......Just why?

Where do I start?  Okay.  First of all, I don't see who would want to buy this....this thing!  Its so ugly!  It looks just like the 3DS but it can't fold in half and it is chunky.  It is flat.......and the screen is smaller then the 3DS.  Just why would anyone down grade their product.  It is cheaper then the 3DS but there is no way I would spend $129.99 for something so useless.

I hope they didn't spend too much time to develop this.  I would actually be really surprised if this turns popular when it comes out on October 12, 2013, the same date as when Pokemon X & Y comes out. I don't know, i'm still laughing out loud in my head about this device. :S

Plasma Blast Elite Trainer Box Opening

On August 14, Plasma Blast was finally officially released and I just couldn't want to get my hands on those elite trainer boxes! They seemed so awesome and it was almost the same price as going to a prerelease at my town which is $35 and the elite trainer box is $40 but it includes a lot more stuff.

 In this collection's elite trainer box, there was a lot more stuff including:

-8 booster packs (1 more compared to Plasma storm elite trainer box)

-four Genesect card dividers

-65 count Genesect plasma blast card sleeves

-40 basic energy cards; 5 of each element

-acrylic special condition marker for burn and poison

-trainer box 

-collector's box

 Side view of the packaging.

Prices in Vancouver that I have seen:
Sakura Media $40 (the cheapest!)
Metropolis comic and toys $39.99
Core games $42
Connection games $48.50 tax included (I overpaid since I wanted it on the day it was released and I thought not a lot of places sell it since when I wanted the Plasma storm one, I did not see any stores carrying it).
Toys R Us $49.99 (WHAT THE HECK LOL, NO!)
