Yeah, that was even discussed in the Discord a bit. It's probably a formatting mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 @cardland_cipher has posted a tweet with some more poster images, including new cards of Cherche, Nah, and Oifey (and some additional shots of other revealed cards, too). I've added the new cards to the album linked in the OP. Here's the tweet itself: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalShich10N Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I am secretly glad both new yellow SR are Swordmasters because those always go for cheap on second hand market. Maybe not so much for Larcei, as waifutax applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Ayra SR on TCG republic is ~$13, which is a lot cheaper than say, Camilla. I think Larcei will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Larcei will be fine. TCG republic is overpriced as hell, though. On Amenity dream Ayra is 880 yen, or like $7-8 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amenity Dream isn't really accessible to those of us who aren't Japanese, though. TCGR isn't really that bad once you factor in how expensive Japanese overseas shipping is, also, if you just want a few cards and not trying to build an entire deck. I will take the free shipping in a language I can actually read. Edited February 23, 2017 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCGR isn't really that bad once you factor in how expensive Japanese overseas shipping is, also, if you just want a few cards and not trying to build an entire deck. I will take the free shipping in a language I can actually read. You can use a forwarding service. I use 2you4 and the shipping on EMS plus the service itself roughly costs about 3000 yen total, which is about as much as shipping stuff from Amiami. Specially when you consider that most Rs that aren't in high demand cost 10-40 yen, not even a dollar, each while each R in TCGR costs about $3.50 usd which translates to about 400 yen. Look at it this way: SR Hector in TCG republic is 25 usd, Amenity Dream has it for 1100 yen, which is about 10 USD. Likewise SR Charlotte 11 USD on TCGR, 600 yen (5 USD) on AD, SR Fir is 20 USD in TCGR and 1100 yen (10 USD) in AD. There, in just these 3 cards you saved 30 USD which covers the EMS shipping + forwarding service. That doesn't even begins to cover Rs, where you can buy about 10 R from AD for the price of 2 Rs in TCGR with a few exceptions (like fucking Nowi, but even then Nowi is about 18 USD in AD and 24 USD in TCGR). The one thing that TCGR does have in their favor is that they give you free boosters when you buy. Neat little touch until you realize they probably weighted the boosters and kept the ones with SRs(+) for themselves.

TheVinceKnight Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If you plan to buy a lot of bulk cards I recommend using a Japanese website - otherwise best to go for somewhere you know about or even ask someone else to help out.

Also a few of my SRs like Charlotte, Corrin M, and Ike (Vanguard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said so because I know of local card sellers that do weight booster packs for rares and sell the leftovers at "discounted" prices. It's also what I'd do if I was giving away free booster packs, honestly. I won't lie, either, I was satisfied with my two TCGR booster pulls which were Cynthia R and Dieck R. But still I far prefer the japanese prices and sheer selection. R and HN cards feel almost for free in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if Cipher packs were harder to weigh in general because each pack has a holos. The different between an SR/+ and an R probably isn't nearly as noticeable as holo (or better) compared to no holo. I know in old Pokémon packs the discrepancy was so bad that you could sometimes feel it just by holding two packs in different hands.

Still gunning for F!Robin and Cherche in the last two SR slots... I say Tharja has a higher chance than Cherche because Codelia had an SR last set and they might want to even it up. Chances are the last two slots are FRobin and Grima, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 We've already got 2 villain SRs with both Risen King Chrom and Aversa. I don't think we're going to see an SR for Grima in this set. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're going to see an SR for Grima in this set. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking, though. Aversa as a villian is subjective. Her card seem to be made so it can be interpreted as either a villian or already an ally. I think Grima is due more because Risen still do nothing themselves. I feel a Grima card will come that will make give them like 30-40 attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the numbering and I think Walhart might actually skip this round. I'm actually kind of expecting him to appear in Series 9 with the Valentian characters like Priam did in Series 3.

He then resells them for a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antinomy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Weighing packs just doesn't seem right imo. For any card game, even ones with unfair pull rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
