It was available for preorder at Pokémon Center in the U.S., Canada and U.K. on Sept. 21, 2023, while supplies last.The item is considered a collector item because it features foil cards of iconic Pokémon from the Base Set and other sets, as well as six new cards that have never been seen before, such as Suicune ex, Lugia ex, and Ho-Oh ex. The cards are not legal for tournament play, except for Basic Energy cards, making them more exclusive and rare.

The item comes in a toolbox case that can store everything neatly and securely.THE CONS: The cons about this item are that it is very expensive, costing $399.99 USD, which may be too much for some fans or casual players. The item is also limited in availability, as it was only sold at Pokémon Center and local game stores while supplies last. The item may also not appeal to competitive players or players who prefer the current format of the game, as the cards are not legal for tournament play and may not match the current rules and mechanics of the game. The item may also be prone to damage or wear over time, especially the foil cards and the metal orbs, which may lose their shine or scratch easily.
