I opened some of the new products from Sun and Moon. I opened the Lunala Elite Trainer Box it had a Lurantis and an Incineroar Gx.


I also opened the Zygarde Pin box and got a Tauros Full art.

I also opened the other 4 promo card packs.

Not a huge fan of the new full arts to be honest. The blue border instead of gold around the Pokémon, the background is really boring, like just a solid pastel color, the holo foil overall just makes diagonal streaks it kind of overpowers the picture, the black line around the card is kind of ugly as well. That being said I do like the ridge pattern on the Pokémon themselves.


I also really like the full art supporters though, at least they kept those the same.
But with so many cards I doubt I'll bother to try and complete the set.

Post prerelease (3 bonus packs for playing and 2 more for a top 4 finish):

The league I played at also was giving out old league promos free to all participants, and I wound up with a Gym Badge with Lt. Surge on it. I also came away with a 4th Place Lucario for finishing 4th. Link related, it's a pic of the two promos: http://i.imgur.com/AfB608X.jpg?1

Opened a Mega Latios collection Box and pulled

Beautifly Holo rare 5/108 Roaring Skies
Heatran Holo rare 63/119 Phantom Forces

Nothing to impressive but I had to try for that shaymin out of the roaring skies packs

Opened the Evolutions pack that came from the code in the newsletter email from earlier this month.

The rare was Dugtrio, the reverse was Koffing, and the Trainers were Switch, Blastoise Spirit Link, and Energy Retrieval.

Still probably cheaper to buy several of those and hope for a Shaymin than to buy a single shaymin, haha.

My fiance bought me the Solgaleo Elite Trainer box as my Valentine's Day present! This is probably the best pulls I have ever had for any game.

I'm relatively new (hadn't realised they thinned the borders)

I got a Solgaleo ETB.

Attached (hopefully) are some of the cards I though looked good. I was very happy with the foil Decidueye GXsince it came from my one Decidueye art work pack lol (and apparently it's sought after)

Opened a Magearna Mythical Collection Box. Didn't notice it until I opened it, but the Magearna promo was miscut, and the Shaymin promo slot was double stacked with a second Shaymin included, and then there was a Manaphy promo hidden behind the Fates Collide Booster.

Anyway, onto the packs in the box.

Breakthrough Pack: reverse holo Professor's Letter, Simipour, and Skyla.

Fates Collide Pack: Grumpig

Steam Siege Pack: Hydreigon

Evolutions Pack 1: Starmie, Charizard Spirit Link, Double Colorless Energy

Evolutions Pack 2: reverse holo Fire Energy, Ninetales, Professor Oak's Hint

A bit of a disappointing box overall.

I didn't know this set had a secret rare Psychic Energy. That's just shot up to the top of my "MUST BUY" list now.

The Decidueye is pretty neat.

My first Sun and Moon pack (as well as the first pack for getting back into the physical game) had this:

20170225_074948.jpg


Down at my local LGS I traded it for a Primarina GX and a Oranguru from the theme deck (non foil). Just before I was about to leave this kid asked if I traded for the Primarina GX and said that he really needed it. I said that I was planning to use it... that is until he made an offer I couldn't refuse:

Today I opened the Solgaleo Etb and got a badlt cut Gold Psychic energy and a holo.

Then I opened a Litten 3 pack. Bought it because it was laying on the shelf and not hanging up with the others. It had the gold Ultra Ball...

I'm on an ipad so can't post a picture on here but it's on my Twitter.

I also opened the Lycanroc box about a week ago and it had a gold Gyarados.
