Many of you will have seen a couple of the mythical collection boxes on the wesbsite. You also may have noticed that these are selling out as fast as we can get them in! I'm going to have a look at why these are such a hugely popular item.
Firstly, what are they? They're a special collection box that is being released as part of the 20th anniversary of Pokemon. there is a new one released each month, which will be as follows:
- February: Mew
- March: Celebi
- April: Jirachi
- May: Darkrai
- June: Manaphy
- July: Shaymin
- August: Arceus
- September: Victini
- October: Keldeo
- November: Genesect
- December: Meloetta
Each box contains 2 Generations booster packs, the promo card and an online code card.
In my opinion, this is one of the best sets of products that has been released in a long time. It's a product that caters to both the competitive market as well as the at-home players and collectors. There are a bunch of first generation cards that have been reprinted (a look at some of the cards can be seen here and a full list can be found here) so it's a great set for a nostalgia hit, as well as being a great set for competitive players. Cards like Jolteon EX are expected to be huge in the competitive scene as well as some other great cards and reprints, so this product really does have something for everyone.
Who does this product suit?
Really, it suits everyone! That's very unusual for me to say about a product, as I like to be able to inform you about products that you will genuinely enjoy. But this product really is for everyone. The major disadvantage is that they're very hard to find, as they're quickly selling out everywhere. With a reasonably low price as well, it's a very accessible product as it's not as expensive as other semi-exclusive products such as Elite Trainer Boxes.
Who wouldn't like this product?
While there's something for everyone, if you're looking to build up your collection quickly, these may not be the best product. As they only contain 2 boosters, if you're trying to build your collection, there are a couple of other options. If you're a casual / at-home player, you could try getting items from the bulk range we have as you will get more cards for the same price. If you're a little more competitive, booster packs may be a better bet as you can get a few of these for the same price.
In summary, these collection boxes are an extremely hot product which have something for everyone, but if they're sold out, there's still plenty of other booster packs you could get instead!
