August, 2004 -Important news!
|
OK people, here's the news: The game is available in some places
but not all places yet, for some reason. However, that may be a good
thing since it gives time for this news brief. Remember how the Starter
cards have more rarities than just 'Common'? Well, that's because
they're being inserted in the Booster packs too. However, because there
are 100 Starter cards and only 60 Booster cards, and the Starters make
up most of the Common and Uncommon cards, you'd most likely get more
Starter cards in the Booster packs than Booster cards. I suggest not
buying the Starter boxes if you're planning on getting alot of Booster
packs because you'd be getting a good amount of Starter cards in the
Boosters anyway. Official word says that the next release (in 3 or 4
months?) looks like it will just be Booster cards and no Starters.
The rarities, according to the Booster packets, are 5 Common, 3
Uncommon, and 1 Rare card per pack for 9 cards per pack. Holo cards are
randomly inserted 1 in every 3 packs, a Gold Stamped card should be 1
in every 11 packs, and a Super Rare card in 15th pack. Keep in mind
that that's an estimate of the entire production run and may not
reflect what you actualy get in the packs, as far as the Holo, Gold
Stamped, and Super Rare cards anyway.

Good news: Every Booster scan is up where the card page is
supposed to be, except for where there are already pages (those have
the scan in the page). The scans are 40% quality. The 100% quality ones
should be uploaded to the Gallery sometime next week.
Bad news: As I suspected, the Starter cards are randomly inserted
in the Booster packs. Each pack contains 5 Common cards, 3 Uncommon,
and 1 Rare. According to the printing on the Booster pack, the chances
of getting a
Holo card is 1 in 3 packs, Gold Stamped is 1 in 7 packs, and Super Rare
is 1 in 15 packs.

August, 2004 -Here ya go ;-)

As stated in yesterday's update, they're in stores now! Scans for
DM-078 Kurisarimon, DM-84 Silphymon, DM-85 Rapidmon, DM-93 Paildramon,
DM-95 MegaGargomon, DM-98 Magnadramon and DM-103 Imperialdramon
(Fighter Mode) are now up where the card pages are supposed to be, and
the Sakuyamon page has Sakuyamon's scan instead of the preview pic. All
scans are at 40% quality; 100% quality scans will be uplaoded to the
gallery sometime soon. Expect more scans this weekend. ;-) Once again,
all scans thanks to Rianmon.

The cards, both Starter boxes and Booster packs, should be in
stores today at some places, but definately no later than Saturday. It
seems that the major stores got them a few days ago but haven't gotten
as far as stocking the shelves (the joys of getting lots of unknown
inventory *sigh*).
In site news, I suppose you're wondering why I haven't updated,
huh? Well, I haven't updated the main page, but the scans for the first
2 Starters have been in the Gallery for the last few days now. Since
the Booster cards are right around the carner, I should have scans of
them up sometime very very soon. I haven't bothered uploading more
pages because I'd just have to edit them again to add more 'Digivolves
to:' Digimon, which will drain bandwidth. So keep a lookout at local
stores for cards and here for card scans. ^ ^

August 2004 -*Almost* a major update x.x'
|
As some of you may or may not know, Bandai America usualy gets
their products trucked out on the 14th of the month (like today), so
the new game may very well be in stores anytime from Monday.
Speaking of the new game, I got card scans for every card in the
first 2 Starters. I've made card pages for all the Digi-Destined cards
in the first Starter, and DM-001 Impmon to DM-006 Veemon. All the rest
of the links lead to the card scans for their respective pages. The
scans are low quality ones so that they don't cause the pages to take
forever to load; I should have the high quality scans in the Gallery
sometime next week. I will also be making more card pages (so the
interlinking might actualy work soon). I plan on having the Comparative
Power Chart up very soon too. Enjoy! ^ ^

6th
August 2004 -Minor Update
|
Just a minor update to the 4 card pages in the Digimon CCG
section (thanks to Shining Celebi). Unfortunately, nothing else new
because it doesn't look like the cards are out yet... Still have
tomorrow though (unless there was more delays x.x' )

August 2004 -Actual Content! X-D
|
As I hoped, I have the card pages for Vikemon, Sakuyamon,
WarGreymon, and Gallantmon (Crimson Mode) up now. The card pics,
although not card scans, have been verified as final versions by Erick
Reyes, so it's safe to use the info on them without getting eggs thrown
at me for giving the wrong card info... o.o (Which is the reason those
4 card pages are the only ones done even though I have the info and
card pics for more than those). You can find links to those card pages
in the Booster 1 page of the Digimon CCG section (link in the left
navigation).
Also, the new game should be in stores around now sometime, and a
rough estimate on prices is $3.59 or $3.99 for a Booster pack and
$10.99 for a Starter box (all in U.S. currency. For your conversion to
your local currency, you can go to www.xe.com
). There are 2 Starter
series with 50 cards each. No word yet on how many cards will be in a
Booster pack or what the rarity ratio for cards will be, but I'll let
you know when I find out.
