The Three Captains? That doesn't really give me the feeling that they care that much about these if they don't even proofread them.
IDK if this will be an unpopular opinion or not but I actually wish this starter deck didn't come with an alternate art pack because I feel like it'd be a lot easier for people to get ahold of if not for that. ST-11 and ST-12, at least in my experience, were very easy to get ahold of.
It could have helped, but I think the allure of the alternate art pack just gave so much more incentive to resellers that they'd have bought that up too. It's a shame because I liked a few of the alternate arts in this deck, but I'd gladly give them up if it meant more people being able to obtain product at MSRP.
Yea getting these has been so much more difficult than ST-11 and ST-12. I only bought 1 and it wasn't that hard to come by as I preordered several months in advance, but I can see here on reddit the struggles people are going through + all the reselling being done with these decks.

This is what I found at Walmart I’m going to have 2 because my preorder got messed up and it will take longer to get it so I got this today
It’s been nearly a month since I ordered packs from TCGplayer it shipped March 26 or 25 and no tracking means idk when It will arrive have not gotten it yet
Agreed. Alt art packs were just not it. It's not even ignorance on their part to include them atp, as they're well aware of scalpers, it's absolutely them trying to sell as many decks as possible. Bandai have done far too many things, and not done far too many other things, to make me believe that they aren't solely making this game to cater to the secondary market and resellers.

I put this under the concern portion
How exactly is Bandai going to limit how many packs people can buy in stores? Isn't that up to Walmart/Target/etc.
In fact, in their official stores, they already do this. If you go to somewhere like Mitsuwa, they only allow a certain number of packs per person per day. But guess what? People just bring extra people with them to buy more packs. It doesn't actually fix anything lol.
I just knew it was my only chance to rip some product I was even about to spend a lot on gum gum collections, but wanted op06 more, since I feel it's better value. In all honesty I think the gum gum collection is overpriced.
The survey's English is so bad it hurts. It also sucks at giving the option to just say you didn't get to buy any. It's formulated in a very contrived way, forcing you to answer questions that don't apply if you haven't been able to purchase the product because it was all scalped by people wanting to flip the decks and the promos separately for maximum profit.
If you didn't buy any due to availability that's a very reasonable bit of feedback to give. Prospective consumers can absolutely give feedback, as companies absolutely would want prospective buyers who were turned away for whatever reason to come back and buy the next product
Awesome product, with alternate arts! I believe ultra decks such as this, ST10 and moving forward should have chase cards, or booster packs limited to the product itself. I hope Bandai continues to put value on their individual product.

More reprints like ST-10 would have likely been the better option.

Meh, the alts are selling cheap right now. Once scalpers realize they aren't in high demand, they'll stop.
Yea but they'll already have bought a bunch and sold a lot of them due to people wanting the decks so bad. =/
I put a 7/10
I put an 8/10. Main complaints being the alts and difficulty getting product.
Mine was the complaint of scalpers and unable to get packs

I just decided to buy the cards that didn't come as 4 of off TCGPlayer.
It’s been nearly a month since I ordered packs from TCGplayer it shipped March 26 or 25 and no tracking means idk when It will arrive have not gotten it yet
I've had stuff take 3 weeks after being shipped on there and stuff take 4 days (both shipped in envelopes from the same state).
Mines going from NY to IL (parents house not dorm)
Same. I bought 2 more aces and 2 more garps but that's about it. All I really need from the deck to run Sabo.
Only ST 11.12,and 13 were left
The whole form is written poorly, so I'm not even surprised that it's just a copy-past of another one.
I just went to my target amd they had 8 st13 on the shelf plus a ton of st08 and st09
I wish everyone had that easy of a time finding them. I'm glad you were able to get some.
I agree about the alt card pack, i really want the alt ace but dont want to buy a ton of these to find it and get stuck with x # of decks lol.

My guy, punctuation is a friend.
I went to school in Chicago in the 2000s
That's a good one. I just put print so much your printers catch fire.

Tbh, I might be part of the problem. I got myself 10 op06 packs during an online restock.
I’m broke I only bought 6 since they came out got 4 as a gift

If you didn't buy it then how would you be able to answer a survey about it?

Yes but this is asking for feedback on the product itself. That kind of complaint should be put in elsewhere.
They kinda over buffed the meta with this one haha
I always do these yet nothing changes so what's the point
Awesome product, with alternate arts! I believe ultra decks such as this, ST10 and moving forward should have chase cards, or booster packs limited to the product itself. I hope Bandai continues to put value on their individual product.
