Next JPN Sets : Freeze Bolt and Cold Flare



On July 13th, the next major BW sets are going to land. Aptly titled Freeze Bolt [フリーズボルト] and Cold Flare [コールドフレア], the sets will revolve around White Kyurem (CF) and Black Kyurem (FB). At present it's unsure if Keldeo or any of the other movie Pokemon are set to appear in either set. What we do know is that the sets are going to have 59 cards each, plus additional SR/UR cards. It's likely that we'll be seeing a Box Campaign card, though it's unknown at present. Alongside the sets we've got an Official Card Case, Sleeves, Card File, Energy Set + Case, and Playmat featuring Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. We've also got our first hard-shell carrying case since BW2 also set to feature the two new mascots.

Additionally, the movie release this year is seeing the return of the Movie Commemoration Pack. Released on the 13th as well, the Movie Commemoration Pack Black Kyurem/White Kyurem Set will feature 1x Freeze Bolt, 1x Cold Flare, 1x Dark Rush, and 1x Red Collection booster pack(s). Along with those is a special original Keldeo holo promotional card, and a campaign entry postcard.

As usual, July is already providing a plethora of cards, and that's without promotional cards announced.

August also is seeing a small release to keep the flow going. Two blister packs have been announced: Premium Holo Card Special Pack Reshiram, andPremium Holo Card Special Pack Zekrom. These two packs will finally have the Japanese releases of the previously English-exclusive SR full art ZekromEX/ReshiramEX cards, along with a rather large assortment of booster packs. These packs are due out on August 3rd, costing 1,280円 a piece.

A BIG big big thank you to Katz for the heads up! ありがとうございます(* ̄ ̄*)

As usual we will do our best to keep you up to date on news as it comes.
