So this is the US version of Shiny Star V. Seems likely to have the shiny Charizard VMAX in it, and then the hunt will be on anew. The rest of the set is much, much, muuuuuch better than CP, so if it does have the shiny VMAX, I expect the prices to get bananas on this (even if it is 1 Charizard vs 2 in CP.)

Nice! Bought two of the Japanese versions and they were quite fun to rip. The Shiny full arts have to be some of my favorite card designs. Two different patterns depending on angle of light. Would have bought more but wanted to wait on US version. High hopes for these and will be on look out for preorders from here and there. I take it there won't be boosters for these?

No, it's another set like CP.

Looks great. Probably grab a case of ETBs and a case of the Pikachu promo boxes.

I will be very, very curious where the preorder price comes in at. It will most certainly be high.

Yeah I would love to pick these up close to retail...

Shhhhhhhh. Nothing to see here. Moss on lease delete this thread

Just preordered 5 ETBs. Can’t wait to get these on hand

[QUOTE=Steve88;16708845]Just preordered 5 ETBs. Can’t wait to get these on hand[/QUOTE]

Where from? LGS?

I ordered two ETB's last night from a card shop online, after 30 minutes they pulled they page. Not sure if the orders will be honored, a majority of the North American shops are holding back on pre-orders due to allocation.

I pre-ordered an ETB at $49.99 a piece, the Pikachu Promo box was $19.99. Another online store said they were going to list the ETB's at $65, it's going to vary.

2 cases of ETB’s, 2 Mad Party pin collection cases, 2 cases of tins, 1 case of Pikachu V collection boxes and 2 premium collection cases.

That should keep me busy for a few hours in Feb/March.

Is Shining Fates considered the “25th Anniversary” set?

[QUOTE=rrk100;16732346]Is Shining Fates considered the “25th Anniversary” set?[/QUOTE]

It is not - it is a holiday set that coincides with the anniversary year. The 25th Anniversary set is scheduled to come out in Oct 2021.

Anyone else hit up gamestop for preorders yet? Stopped by and Ultimate collection was one of choices. What might that consist of? I've seen the Tins, Mad party, pikachu V, Minis & Etbs online but not the ultimate collection.

I believe it's the Premium Collection box:

Shining Fates Premium Collection—Shiny Crobat VMAX / Shiny Dragapult VMAX: Includes seven Shining Fates booster packs; one foil promo card featuring either Shiny Crobat V or Shiny Dragapult V; one foil promo card and one foil oversize promo card featuring either Shiny Crobat VMAX or Shiny Dragapult VMAX; and one corresponding metallic coin

MSRP: $39.99

I forgot that one. Saw that as well. I dont think its this because she seemed unsure of it unlike the others which she named, and it was $49.99 not 39.99.
Either way Ill take it if i can get it.

Scratch that. I think you could be right. Cause looking at receipt, it says ultimate collection.

From what I understand, GS sometimes prices a bit higher at first but then will readjust right before release.

I see BO has it listed in presale now but sold out. Did anyone catch prices if it was live?

Guess that answers question of opening price. $850 for case of ETB. $1K for Mad party case.

Not surprising. DACW opened at 50% over MSRP also, and didn't even offer any cases.

After initially seeing them out of stock here I checked out DA as well and saw same. Welp, I guess its off to more gamestops for me tomorrow and hope I get them reasonably close to release and in quantities I preorder.

I would definitely be fading this at $85/ETB. As we've seen with CP, TPC is going to keep printing them as long as demand is at that level.

Fates is a unique brand though..... if you rip in quantity you always cover the cost at msrp. That can’t be said for any other release in at least the last 6 or so years. People saw what happened with hidden fates singles prices.... I feel like this will be even bigger. Add in the grading aspect and I could easily see people willing to pay and expecting a nice profit after grading at 135-150 per etb

850 for 10 ETB Pre order price.......damn.....MSRP is 50 per ETB
