Set 26 release date

[shikamaru pwns anyone]

So in honor of Gencon, every year bandai has always had the set in Auguest and released it a few days early. Bandai has now stated the official release date as the 5th of sseptember But there are sealed tornaments at Gencon? Also can someone from bandai state what they need for 26 to be prizing for the actual event. I think this year deserves that final boost.

Yes, there are sealed tournaments at GenCon, all info is found here. You will be given packs of set 25 to play with in the sealed/draft tournament, but the prizing for winning is set 26. The prizes for the main SJC is set 26 as well. Alex posted the following yesterday:

Did you guys miss the main part where it says that Set 26 will be based on attendance?

Also the draft thing is so dumb. I am always tempted to play in drafts but havnt in previous years due to time. But there is no way I will play in a draft for older packs. Especially with a horrible set for draft (been playing for fun with 2 boxes for a month now)

naruto is bad for draft and sealed anyway
