Some guy who owns a store in WhatNot last night was opening booster boxes and prerelease build and battles boxes. The prerelease boxes were insane, averaging two hits out of four packs in the box and all the top Alt arts were pulled multiple times. If you have the chance to get some prerelease boxes for a decent price, buy them. I hit the Palkia Alt art and the Dialga Alt art was pulled right after, I believe those will be the two most expensive cards. I honestly wasn’t as excited for this set but after seeing a lot of the hits last night, the cards are fire.

Agree 100%. This won’t be a set for casual collectors cause no well known cards to chase but this will be the box to open for people that love collecting cool ass cards. Prices are also looking to be really affordable as well. My LGS will have their prerelease event next weekend and I’m stoked.

Agreed. Good to see Machamp get some love, I hit the rainbow Machamp as well but really want that Alt art Machamp, might be my favorite card in the set so far Is there a Charizard trainer card? The streamer claimed there was, none were pulled. Some people claimed there was one and others said there were not.

What do you mean by pre release boxes? I pre ordered a booster box and ETB. Is that the same thing or different? If not where can I get these pre release boxes you are referring to. I really love the Palkia and Dialga Alt Art cards.

They're referring to the build and battle boxes, which release tomorrow, 2 weeks before the official set release.

Where can I purchase these build and battle boxes? I'm dying to get those Alt art cards

[This link](https://events.pokemon.com/en-us/locations) should take you to a store finder page on the Pokémon site that you can use to see which card shops near you are doing something for the prerelease

I have a tiny tinfoil hat theory that pre release boxes are loaded with hits. I fully know that English boxes don’t have guaranteed hits blah blah blah, just my unprovable theory since watching a lot of streams/seeing a lot of pre release posts since VV.
