Personally, I’ll be doing a mixed set based on which look better with what border. Some may see this as a reason to skip English after having completed the Japanese shinings while others may not go back to get the Japanese ones after having access to the English prints. Usually, the language divide brings significant differences in texturing or coloration but the only real difference is the expected border color difference. Admittedly, the English print is a lot more similar to the Japanese shinings than past iterations. We have the advantage of coming into the set having already seen the Japanese shinings. This set is a bunch of shiny-colored legendaries! And they look flippin’ sweet. I love when the title of a set is literally what the set is. We are coming hot off of a 169+ card set and are only a few weeks out from 110+ cards in Crimson Invasion, so Shining Legends’ measly 73+ is a welcome cap. This means collectors will be able to buy singles on the secondary market with relative ease. However, I think we should all appreciate the way this fifth set is structured. My heart goes out to the modern completionist. I have it easy as someone that doesn’t collect complete sets and isn’t starting now. I recognize that this is an added challenge in an already fiscally-stretching holiday preseason. “But Charlie! It’s even more money to keep up!” It makes sense that Pokemon would seek to reach outside of its quarterly release structure to capitalize on its incredibly successful trading card game.

Granted, Generations was our first indication that Pokemon may go this direction but the alignment with the 20th anniversary was a far cry from a promise of fifth sets going forward.
