    Those Smyths prices definitely apply to Carrickmines and Fonthill Road (near liffey valley), or at least did a few weeks ago when I was last in.

    What Smyths was it? I was in the Galway one at the weekend and all I saw were the Black and White boosters for €4.99, although I only took a glance as I left the shop.

    Ah, thanks for clarification though.

    I didn't see any cards other than the boosters around the tills, so in what section did you find them? Presumably they'll be situated in the same section in the Galway store.

    I could only see the 15 euro tins, so I went to the customer service desk, and they were behind that :p

    I'll try asking a staff member next time I'm there, although most of the interactions I've had with employees there would suggest they're fairly clueless about things. :pac:

    Thing is, I'm not even finding the item you describe on their website. :(

    Sounds like what Cloud is describing is a "Two player starter kit". Oddly this item isn't on the Smyths website, but they usually pop up in stores regularly. Do keep in mine than new card sets come out ever three or four months, with every second or so set releasing a new two player starter kit.

    Hope that helps :)

    It's the 2 player starter kit with Night Hunters deck - I have one in my pocket at the moment, funnily enough. They also have them in Fonthill Road and Carrickmines, neither of which is anywhere near Galway unfortunately. The box is half black, half white with a Zoroark and an Excadrill semi-shiny card (the pic is shiny, the rest of the card is matt) visible on the front. It's about the width of the boxes that the booster sets come in. Looks like this :

    Give it a week or two. The pre-release tournaments were recently played over here (UK). As the name implies you play with the newest cards before release :)

    For what is quite possibly the only time this has ever worked for me, I picked a dark explorers boosters pack with a venasaur cos I thought I might get a vensaur in it and I did :D
