EL SEGUNDO, Calif.,
Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Expanding an already powerful presence in the industry,
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is set to unveil its
2015 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME portfolio at the American
International Toy Fair February 14-17. Attendees can get a
glimpse of the exciting year ahead for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD
GAME at booth #4834 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in
New York City.
"Fresh off a successful 2014, we have already set the stage for
a big 2015 with two new products presently on store shelves" said
Yumi Hoashi, Vice President, Card
Business for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "At Toy Fair,
we are always excited to give our hobby and mass market partners a
hands-on opportunity to experience the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME
and see how our year-round product release schedule and Organized
Play events will satisfy the needs of new players and competitive
Duelists."
The third release of the year lands on shelves this Friday, February 13. The Secret Forces
special booster set launches three new tactical squads of
never-before-seen monsters, prepared to compete in the toughest
tournament Dueling of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. Duelists
will be thrilled to unleash their new monster groups, the Nekroz,
Yosenju, and Ritual Beast Tamers, in upcoming Duels. This 60-card,
all-foil booster set includes 32 new cards from these three monster
groups, plus 28 carefully selected classic cards to supplement
Duelists' Deck-building efforts, including the hard-to-find
Preparation of Rites, which has been out of print for more
than five years. MSRP: $3.99 per
pack.
Sure to bring in customers to stores is Secrets of Eternity
Super Edition, also releasing this month on February 27. Super Editions are consistently a
great value for Duelists and Secrets of Eternity Super
Edition follows suit. Each box contains three booster packs of
Secrets of Eternity, plus 1 of 14 Super Rare cards to power
up a player's Deck. With this many cards, Duelists can
power up their Decks for less than it would cost to buy three
individual booster packs. MSRP: $9.99
per box
A gold rush hits stores just as the Easter selling season begins
when Premium Gold: Return of the Bling lands in stores
nationwide on March 20. This new set
delivers updates and upgrades to dozens of more cards from the
early days of Yu-Gi-Oh! to the present day. Players will be eager
to get 22 previous Gold Rare cards with the new and improved
advanced Gold Rare technology first introduced last year; 48 top
cards now released with Gold Rare technology for the first time and
KONAMI will issue 21 brand new cards, all in Gold Secret
technology, including cards for Blackwing, HERO, and Number
Decks. Each five-card Premium Gold: Return of the
Bling mini-pack contains two Gold Secrets, each a brand new,
never-before-released card, and three standard Gold Rares. Every
$14.99 MSRP box contains three
mini-packs.
On tour for the first time ever, on April
17 the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME is proud to present – the
Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World Superstars! This all-foil set collects
50 cards previously available only in Japan and Korea, now available for the first
time all over the world. As a special treat for collectors,
included in this set are reprints of the two very rare prize cards
from the 2012 Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship in Tokyo! MSRP: $3.99 per pack.
The latest booster set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, Crossed
Souls*, releases on May 15. In

MSRP: $3.99 per pack.
The newest generation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and TV series –
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V – is supported with the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Starter Deck*! Designed to teach new Duelists how to Duel with
a 40-card pre-built Deck, the Starter Deck is based on the popular
