Naruto CCG Series 28: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3

Naruto 3D Hbbytray S28_B

Hobby Street Date: March 8th, 2013

“Ultimate Ninja Storm 3″ is the twenty-eighth release for the Naruto Shippuden CCG and introduces over 100 new cards to the Naruto Shippuden CCG.

It’s the calm before the storm as the war rages on in Naruto Series 28 “Ultimate Ninja Storm 3”. With each card featuring artwork straight from the aptly named video game series due out in March 2013, Series 28 brings the Fifth Great Ninja War to a higher crescendo than ever before. With Naruto joining the battle in his Nine Tails controlled form, the war seems to be swinging towards the Allied Shinobi Army. However, pressing the snake into a corner isn’t wise as Kabuto bares his fangs, summoning the most fearsome ninjas from ages past, including the previous Raikage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage, as well as the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. With the war quickly spiraling out of control, it’s up to you to take control of the battlefield as the Storm continues to grow!

Make sure to check the “Block Discussion” Thread in the forums for discussion of these great cards. And make sure to check the BandaiCG and Naruto Collectible Card Game Facebook page for exclusive previews and polls.

10 cards per booster – 1 Holographic Foil card, 1 rainbow-stamped Rare, 2 Uncommon, 6 Common
Super-Rare Gold-Holographic Foil inserts (1:6 packs Avg.)
24 packs per display
MSRP: Booster Packs $3.99
