I'd like to chime in that the purple/gold combo is pretty great.
The sleeves, like everything, are purple BG/gold Genesect outlines. IIRC they have the TCG and Plasma Storm logo in gold as well.

Sounds great, though I am sure the Plasma Blast logo will be on it instead of the Plasma Storm one. :wink:
Plenty of time to save some extra cash to get a couple of these. Thanks for all this ExoByte! :thumb:

I "thanked" already, but THANK YOU! for heading up such a great idea. I have a few simple questions though:
- Is the plan for one of these every other set, or with each set?
- Is there any chance of seeing the "bonus" materials switched up from time to time?
- Are plastic damage counters(like available in Japan) an option for US release at all (Especially in relation to the previous question)?

And for the rookies out there (and Pokedads like me) what are "Card Dividers"?

Most likely: Cardboard dividers that you can use to sort your cards in the box. If there were only three I'd say to sort into Energy, Trainers, and Pokemon but with 5 of them I imagine they are better designed for sorting by deck or another grouping of cards.

How does the sleeve quality compare to previous sleeves like the Prof sleeves or the p!p sleeves?

Yeah for the dividers, extra pack, and for the sleeves love the design. Btw, no booklet I am guessing?
I feel like it's pretty much a guarantee at this point that we aren't getting Shiny Collection and numerous other promos.
I, admittedly, don't really mind that. Nothing was competitively relevant, and I'd rather get X&Y sooner than later. It also has an added benefit of putting our release schedule much closer to Japan's, so stuff like this doesn't happen again!

Way to go exobyte excellent way that u did that survey and you collected knowledge from it and have now made an excellent product that I am more than willing to buy.

Lol, yes, of course. Luckily I'm not on the design team to make these mistakes.

They're good sleeves. I'm not 100% but I think they're the same sock as the old prof. sleeves (with the 'silvered' interior).

There will not be a Q4 ETB. Once we get a handle on the sales rate for the Plasma Storm and Plasma Blast versions, the plan is ***NO PROMISES NO PROMISES*** to do an ETB for each release starting Q1 '14. ***NO PROMISES NO PROMISES***
I really don't want to swap stuff around in this product, so you always know what you get in an ETB. Maybe in a year or two?

Booklet is still there. It's a fairly cheap item that gives a lot of value to the less experienced player and the collector.

Maybe it's just me but I'm sad the sleeves won out over the improved deck box, I guess I'm probably one of the few who likes deck boxes more
The dividers seem a bit out of left field, don't recall that in the survey, and I'm not really sure what you divide with them? Unless they're literally some fancy divider for use in the box?
Still, +1 pack is nice.

I think the vast majority wanted sleeves over deck box

Nice! Thank you for helping with expectations. Thank you for openly communicating. I wish everyone understood that things don't always go to plan, but NO PROMISES should lay out those expectations VERY nicely.
You very deftly avoided the damage counter question again though. Is that not something any official entity has cared to look at?ottawacollector

Absolutely love the changes! We bought enough of the prior trainer boxes and cut out the energy symbols to stick on the boxes to know what each box had. It would be fantastic if after a full run of these boxes that all of colors for the matching energy types would be on the boxes especially if the plan is to release them out each release. Thanks for listening to us and having this open communication! Count me in for a few boxes each release :thumb:
