I just bought an anime mag that said there will now be an Inuyasha trading card game!! YAY!!! There are a bunch of cards and they're even coming out w/ action figures andf it will be out either at the end of the year or 2005--at least here in the states. It's already going strong in Japan. Isn't that awesome??!!!

Good news to hear for all those Inu fans. Let's hope this picks up fast enough to bring it to the USA and Europe. By the way Inuyasha, if they would be in the USA and if you would buy them, for what reason? The game or just to collect?

prob just to collect--maybe the game, if it's cool. I don't know very much about it yet, just that it's coming out!! I will def have to get the action figures also!!!
==> It's a online shop that shows the Starter Deck and a Booster. As you can see, a Starter deck costs $15, so it's rather safe to assume Normal Advanced or Expert decks will cost around $20, that is, if this TGC is given out by Wizards of the Coast. As yuo can also see, a Booster costs $3, which is rather expensive realizing most TGCs offer boosters with more cards then that. However, since it is Japanese, this doesn't have to mean a Booster outside it will also contain 8 cards. An old Japanese Pokémon booster contained 10 cards, but when the TGC came to the USA and Europe, the USA and Europe boosters contained 11 cards.
==> This site gives very basic information on what the cardgame will be about and who will give it out. As it says, Score will do so, and since they also made the DBZ TGC this can't be bad. However, they WILL have to promote the TGC before it can have success. So, while we also know Wizards of the Coast will not bring the TGC out, it is known that Score uses the same "tactics" as them. So there is still chance that boosters here will contain more then 8 cards.
==> This is rather strange to see. The price of a Starter Deck (I'm assuming it is the same starter dek as in that first Online shop, as the cover is the same) is halved compared to the first Online Shop. Next to that, it also shows that the game is played with a dice. It is however not safe to assume that every deck must contain 40 cards, as in the starter box, as most TGCs have Starter decks with less cards then is recommended.
==> This is a direct link to the TGC image section of that site. As you can see, the cards appear to be colourful and clear. What's even better: it contain characters from the Anime, so chances are big that the TGC will let you play as an Inuyasha anime characters, and not just a person in Inu's worlds that fights some other guy with monsters and weapons from the Inuyasha world. I am, however, not completely sure yet.
==> Yet another Online shop, thsi one has alot more products to offer then all the previous shops. Next to that, it isn't really intresting NEXT to the fact that, if you read the descriptions, Foil cards will exist in the Inuyasha TGC. You know, shining cards.
After that, I ended my "research" for now. =) I think I'm going to have to spend some Allowance money in October on a certain cardgame. ^^
