Expansion Set Information
Info on Existing Sets, Upcoming Sets, And More

 expedition

cards of new sets may be played in DCI sanctioned tournaments since the day of release. Is the day of release in the USA the key date for every country, or is it the date of release in each country ?
master_trainer_mike says, "It is the date of the product's release in your market."

 

Do you have any information on the European release of Expedition??
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope, there are issues still being worked out with the Pokemon Company."
master_trainer_mike says, "Once we know the answer, YOU will know the answer."

 

Has any expedition boxes been delayed?
master_trainer_mike says, "Not sure what you mean, different store chains take different amounts of time to process products."
master_trainer_pat says, "We're finding it really difficult to figure out which stores have received it and which ones have not."
master_trainer_pat says, "It's really been a difficult release to track down."
master_trainer_pat says, "We only just today received a few packs each to open up. The rest of Wizards doesn't have any yet."
master_trainer_mike says, "THe card-e cards have had more different companies involved due to the new technology so it has been far more complex to get the product to market."
master_trainer_pat says, "We were able to get some lists of what all the cards do, so that has helped."

 

on the new e cards. how come it says pokemon/nintendo at the bottom of them and wizards was left out.
master_trainer_pat says, "Our name was too big..."
master_trainer_pat says, "Actually, our name hasn't been on the Pokemon cards in quite some time."

 

Are the dotcodes printed on the ecards at the initial printing or are they brought somewhere else where they are added?
master_trainer_mike says, "We are a publicly traded company and cannot answer trade secrets of this sort."
master_trainer_mike says, "Sorry :)"

 

What card e card come with the new nintendo e reader?
master_trainer_pat says, "There are three cards that come with it and Machamp is one of them."

 

So c'mon, how neat ar3 some of the card e games sounding so far?
darkmt_mike says, "Pat! You made MTM leave!"
master_trainer_pat says, "It's kinda a neat bonus to be able to swipe a few cards and get a little video game."

 

How come not all stores have expedition boosters and decks? I heard a rumor that there was a delay?
master_trainer_mike says, "It is much harder to make these new cards due to the new card-e technology. As previously stated, there are more comanies involved and we are making them as fast as we can."

 

Can you tell us anything about the contents of the Theme Decks?
master_trainer_pat says, "Not yet. Sorry."

 

Do you think that there will be a Card-E "map" showing how all the cards interact posted on your site??
master_trainer_mike says, "Dunno but that sort of things exists on other sites (try Nintendo for example)."
master_trainer_mike says, "Or Pokemon.com"

 

I got 2 boxes of Expedition yesterday. Must say I'm happy with the # of Holo & Rares from the packs. Now I won't have so many extra com/uncom's. Thanks Guys!!!!
master_trainer_pat says, "Glad you like it. The set actually looks really good."

 

how many cards in expedition packs - how many of each rarity - how many holos in a booster box?
master_trainer_mike says, "1 rare per pack"
master_trainer_pat says, "9 cards in a booster, rarity is variable, don't know about a booster box."
master_trainer_mike says, "1 parallel foil per pack (could be a common, uncommon, or rare)"
master_trainer_mike says, "2 non-foil uncommons"
master_trainer_mike says, "1 in 3 packs has a holo"
master_trainer_mike says, "the rest are commons"
master_trainer_mike says, "or something like that"
master_trainer_mike says, "And there is NEVER a guarantee on how many holos per booster box. the holos variable is calculated across the entire print run"

 

 


 

aquapolis

master_trainer_mike says, "wait and see"

When is aqauopolis supposed to be released?
master_trainer_pat says, "Sometime after Expedition...."
master_trainer_pat smirks.
darkmt_mike says, "Way after."
