News XXXHolic

"From CLAMP's hit anime series "xxxHOLiC" and "xxxHOLiC", this is its first trading card series!
The entire anime episodes of season one and two will be included, and there will be 27 Special Cards and more than 80 Normal Cards (planned). The 27 SP cards include loads of hanken (copyright) illustration as well.
This box features 12 packs of cards, each pack including 7 randomly selected cards."

Planned price: 6,300 yen.
Planned release date: Mid September, 2008.

OMG Ran, what a good news!! Finally, my dream comes true!

But I'm adraid that one box will not be enough to get a complete regular set.
As there are many SPs, 27! I hope each pack will come with a SP, like Tsubasa Chronicle Trading Collection.

Mmm... 27 special... Even with 2 box, it won't be enough if there is one sp by pack

EDIT : I was searching on internet, and I found this seller.

They don't have many cards, but there is this XXX holic cards in pre-order. I look with some others cards (Shakugan no Shana II) to compare with poly_100, and it's is almost 10 euros less per box. The only problem is that they ship via EMS, the only way to have tax (in France). Did someone have any idea of what weight we can expect for 1 box, to see if it's still worth than poly_100?

Yes, Kate, unfortunatly 27 sp are not easy to find (at least 2 boxes for sure!)
But it seeems they will be illustration by Clamp! I really hope so!
And just 7 cards each pack... A box will not be enough for the regs too
Anyway I'm always happy when a set from Clamp's manga is going to be released

I got the info from Animaxis (here the direct link), they ship also via SAL and AIR registered now!
It's more cheap, and safe

"List Price : 6,300 yen ($57.91), Width: 85mm, Height: 120mm, Depth: 65mm, Weight: 300g"
Drimchal, I hope it helps

Ran, it isn't a good idea...
I'm interested....

It isn't good for my money...

Have you got picture from this collection? SP card or regular...

Cards are money vampire :die:
but often it worth it :SMACK:

Unfortunatly I've not found pictures of the set!
As I find them I'll post here!

The product disappeared from Animaxis list... But I found it on Toys Logic (single pack only, no box) and it seems that the release is delayed. It's scheduled for mid-november. The flyer still says september though.

Argh, it's an expensive collection itself
6300 yen (58$ - 40 Euro)
And it will need at least two boxes, there are 27 sp to get!
One Sp each pack (I hope!) and only 12 packs in a box...
Two boxes will not be enough for a complete collection

Pour ceux qui ça intéresse, quelques SP ont fait leur apparition sur les enchères japonaises ICI, histoire de voir les visuels...
Visiblement, certaines illustrations se suivent sur 2 cartes, reprenant des visuels de Clear File ou de Shitajiki, si je ne me trompes ^^

Des cartes puzzle. Elles sont plutôt jolies! J'aurais préféré des illustrations dessinées par Clamp mais bon...
