Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

The Deck Box That Doesn't Exist.

such nice artwork. ...dreams.. fingers crossed for those to be the special league item at the end of the sesaon. ...
 
The only decent looking deckbox we get- and it gets destroyed?!?!?!?!

We get ZAN-BLEEDIN-GOOSE but not this??!?!?!?!?!?!

Cruel, Cruel Fate.
 
I saw the deck box around from time to time, I even know who was keeping it safely in their shirt pocket....I don't think I can reveal the info, but I'm sure they might be willing to say something if they really wanted too...until then my lips are sealed.

i dont think they should of destroyed it... VERY stupid idea they should of sold it or gave it to professors or something OR prize for the world champs

i got my hands on one how much are they worth? jw probably not gonna sell it unless the price is just right =P
 
I love the artwork on this one. Too bad it didn't come to fruition for real. Stinks that they are "out there" dishonestly (or at least that is how it sounds!) :frown:

at least they are out there and not destroyed... pokemon is wasting money making deck boxes than just destroying them -__- they really got too much money that they can just waste it like that?
 
AFAIK, the _only_ one at nationals was the one that was photographed...and that belonged to a POP staff member.

i don't think people are understanding the reasons behind the 'destroyed' part. when something like this is ordered that has a firm 'need by' date, it's in the contract with the manufacturer that they either provide the product by that date or the shipment is refused and (...probably) not paid for (at least in full).

accepting the order would have been problematic in a lot of ways: POP would have merchandise it would have to pay warehouse costs for, instead of immediately drop shipping to the PTOs for their events.

--they would STILL have had to figure out some kind of replacement promo item for that prerelease...essentially doubling the promo item cost for that set.

--shipping a single deckbox to every participant in the DF prerelease would have been a nightmare, never mind cost a fortune: the box is bulky, and crushable...a bubble envelope wouldn't work as packaging. not to mention trying to assemble said mailing list: look at how many younger players still don't have 'my pokemon' accounts nor are opted into player rewards...

then there's the 'credibility' factor with the manufacturer: if POP were to accept the shipment late, as a 'this time..' thing, what's to stop the manufacturer from doing it AGAIN, since they didn't stand up for their 'need by' date before?

JMHO,

The truth is that the reason the deck box exist has to do with the fact that this box is a design model sent to PUI/POP as a sample of the order for of these boxes in hopes of having them in time for DP...

The fact that the order got delayed by the manufacturer has nothing to do with how this one got away, this single deck box was just a prototype in a sense to give PUI/POP an idea of how the deck box would look like. I think that if the deck box would have been made in time it would have been a great prerelease item, but alas...at least I got to see it in person.....

WOW....SO that is the deck box everyone is talking about! And to think, I got to see it upclose & didnt even know it...lol While I was a runner on Saterday, picking up slips, I seen it as he was putting the deck into it. Man...Wish I had paid more attention! That is really a sweet looking deckbox! :thumb: Not that I can remember who the heck I seen have it...lol

it really is a shame that we didn't get it. quite possibly the nicest looking PUI-designed deckbox.
 
What I heard is that the mailing serves was suppose to destory them. Instead they kept someone for themself or sold them on Ebay. Me I seen so many enought to get mad, why i didnt get one.
