Coming Soon: ‘Yu-Gi-Oh Shadow Specters’ Special Edition
Wednesday, December 4th, 2013
Konami will release, according to ICv2.com, the Shadow Specters Special Edition on December 13th. The boxed product includes three booster packs of Shadow Specters, which released in November, and one of two Super Rare variants: “Stardust Dragon” or “Tuning.”
Both of the Super-Rares are from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s; “Stardust Dragon” is Yusei Fudo’s main monster, and “Tuning” is a spell card with the ability to search for a Synchron Tuner Monster from the deck and put it into their own hand.
If you’re a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game, this is a product you won’t want to miss. Pick up this sweet new must-have item at your local Battleground Games & Hobbies. Makes a fantastic holiday gift!
Can’t decide? No problem – gift certificates available both in store and online!
