Oh, but maybe you are looking for something with less minis and more dice?  Then you might want to check out Avengers vs X-men Dice Masters.  A new dice building game where you collect and assemble a team of character dice.  This game will be releasing in March, so come and check it out.

Pokemon TCG XY Kalos Starter Set

So I meant to write about this awhile ago... but sometimes time gets in the way.  I do still want to share this as many people who are into Pokemon are taken a look at what you get in these starters.

So the first thing to know is that you get a foil of all three evolutions for Chespin, Froakie, and Fennekin. The other big thing to know is that each one of these starters comes with 24 energy cards... BUT 12 of the energy is different from what you might expect.

XY Kalos Starter

  • Froakie comes with 12 water energy and 12 metal energy
  • Fennekin comes with 12 fire energy and 12 dark energy
  • Chespin comes with 12 grass energy and 12 fairy energy 
WHAT.... You mean I can get the brand new FAIRY energy before the rest of XY comes out??? 

YES YOU CAN!

So if you want to get a good look at the beginning of the XY run in Pokemon, then you need to come out pick one up while we have them in stock! Or, you can click on this link to our web store and order one directly!
