It's barely been a month since the previous pack but the new #yugioh raging masters was just released along with the second part of the Summer Go! Go! Go! sleeves. Check them out below...

#Yugioh OCG Next Challengers/New Challengers box opening!

I just finished opening two new boxes of the OCG New Challengers. Watch below to see what I pulled! The sleeve reveals are near the end of the video for those who want to skip.

Yugioh OCG Duel Monsters 15th Anniversary Commemoration Product [Memories of the Duel King: Battle City Arc] Review

Got my hands on the #yugioh 15th Anniv. Battle City box with the new Dark Magician Girl sleeves!

This is the second wave of the Memories of the Duel King series celebrating the 15th anniversary of Yugioh. The print quality of the cards in this set is very good, I'm very pleased that Konami has kept the print quality high since that initial Primal Origin scandal.

This is basically a collector's dream set to be honest. The Dark Magician Girl sleeves are crazy beautiful; I'm a bit sad there's only 55 per box which just covers a deck and side deck with no left overs. Obelisk, the token and The Kingdom anniversary card are pretty cool nostalgia items too. I'm impressed that the other cards in the set are actually pretty decent with Mirror Force and Polymerization not being terrible.

Overall, I'm very happy with this set. I'm going to bet that this is going to be the most popular box so get it while you can!

All the shiny goodies in one spot.

Yugioh OCG Duel Monsters 15th Anniversary Commemoration Product [Memories of the Duel King: Duelist Kingdom Arc] Review

New #yugioh 15th Anniv. box just arrived, pictures feat. old school cards!

It just arrived this morning and I have to say, I'm very pleased with it. Despite the recent drop in print quality, I'm happy to report that these ones are a huge improvement over the recent Primal Origins cards. Even though it does not have the more solid plastic(?) coating of the older boosters, at least these cards are not damaged out of the box.

Anyway, the pictures!

The box that it all comes in. Very usable for card storage too and when you open it...

The actual deck box itself is amazing. Gold, shiny, textured and very solid. Very Yugi.

Box contents with sleeves. So nostalgic.

Close up of the sleeves. Very awesome sleeve design, especially if you grew up with the original series with Yugi.

This box is definitely more on the side of nostalgia rather than usability, with most of the cards being somewhat meh for actual play. On the other hand, shiny Exodia and Exodia parts! This is what I've been waiting for to make an Exodia deck. The card box, sleeves and shiny token are bonuses too. This is a must-have for old school Yugioh fans but I think any Yugioh fans would be pretty pleased to get their hands on this anyway.

Edit to add: this item was released in very small numbers (relatively speaking). All preorders were filled from the start and its price has jumped from it's retail of roughly US$25 to US$70 in a number of second hand stores I've been looking at.

The box and contents in all their glory.

New Lightsworn Duelist Set

Really A++ play mat and sleeves from the new Lightsworn Duelist set #yugioh #ygo #duelist

Image of the Lightsworn play mat and sleeves.

This has been a busy month for Yugioh OCG with the new booster, VJump announcements and now, the new Duelist sets. There are two versions, Lightsworn and Geargia. They both come with a deck, a booster, a sleeve box, a play mat and sleeves featuring their respective themes. I have only bought the Lightsworn one so far as I am hoping to make a Lightworn deck but having seen what's in this one, I'm probably going to pick up the Geargia one later.

Anyway, I am very impressed with the set overall but since most English players don't do OCG, I'm just going to skip to the mat, sleeve and box.

The play mat comes in a neat folded box and the sleeves aren't in any particularly special packaging haha.

The play mat is actually pretty impressive. It's a good quality, full sized mat featuring most of the Lightsworn members. Dimensions are approximately 14" x 24" x 0.08" - basically the same as the WoW TCG mats.

The Lightsworn mat in all its glory.

The sleeves are pretty much the same as other sleeves released in previous sets. There are 70 sleeves in the pack - nice to see they are keeping the same nice number for a 40 card deck, 15 extra and 15 side deck.

The set also comes with a long cardboard box for holding cards in general and has a flat plastic handle on top. I didn't make mines up so here's a picture from Konami. Lightsworn is Lightlord in OCG.

The cardboard card box.

As an aside, this set of merchandise comes with some cardboard Madolche deck boxes. They're just your standard freebie giveaway but I have a soft spot for Madolches so I'm still happy with them.

It goes without saying, I have some Lightsworn play mats and sleeves that are looking for a good home so if you are interested, please contact me. They are, of course, new and unused. You can use Facebook, eBay, Twitter, this blog etc and I'll get in touch with you. Happy dueling!

New Yugioh Sleeves: Madolche edition!

Check out these new awesome Madolche sleeves! I can't wait to resleeve my deck later #yugioh #ygo #madolche

Right, I finally got my hands on these new sleeves! This was the top #1 choice in a poll carried out a few months back. Of course no one was really surprised, being Japan and all. Originally it was a picture of Puddingcess, as she is on the card. I was really impressed to see that they made a new picture for it instead (compared to Shooting Quasar Dragon). I'll be honest and say, I voted for Blaster and Monster Reborn. I did not expect Shooting Quasar Dragon to be #2...

The Madolche sleeves in all their glory!

Anyway, the sleeves. First off: they are really shiny. Crazy reflective shiny. I had to take several pictures to show you that they don't all have crazy orange eyes. Second: I love the actual picture. I love that it is an original picture that hasn't been cut out of an existing one and pasted together aka Ghostrick sleeves. Third: this is probably the only time that Chouxvalier will be in the lime light, ever :(

The card separator.

My gripes: the card separator that comes with it is Madolchepalooza on one side and Madolche Nights on the other. My reaction: whaaaaaat??? I would have preferred at least one of the sides to have a beast Madolche. My only other gripe: the printed side of the sleeve is kind of grippy (the other side where you see your card is terrific). I feel like the ink will rub off with excessive handling so I'm going to be oversleeving these for protection and smoother shuffling.

These sleeves come in packs of 70, as per usual. You can check them out in my listings here.

Happy dueling everyone!
