Upper Deck's new Neopets Battledome TCG has officially launched today in the USA! The game is available for purchase online at
Upper Deck Store and at many local game stores. (You can check with stores in the USA and Canada on
this store list to see if they have it.)
Booster packs retail for USD $3.99 a pack and Starter Decks USD $19.99. Starter decks come with a code redeemable for the associated avatar:
International Orders: UpperDeckStore.com does ship internationally to some countries. These orders must be placed manually by
contacting them so that they may check to see if they can ship to your country as well as what shipping costs will be.
Many stores are also running events and tournaments to celebrate the launch. To support future events, Official Battledome League (OBL) Season One promo cards were announced today. These 22 cards come in packs of 2 (one Codestone and one other card) and are available now for retailers to order from their distributors. These packs can be given out for free with purchase or for participating in events, but not sold. All cards are foil and use a unique foil printing method which makes them different from those in the Defenders of Neopia Set.
Six cards have all new artwork, including six Full Art variant Legends cards and three variant Codestone cards, all designed by Anthony Conley. The remaining 16 cards are the same art from Defenders of Neopia, but feature the unique Foil printing. In some cases, (such as Money Tree which is Starter Deck exclusive) this is the only way to get the card in a Foil version.
Additionally, accessories are coming! Playmats and Card Sleeves will be launching at
Gen Con (August 1-4 in Indianapolis) and Binders, Deck Boxes and more in the months to follow.
Upper Deck is also working on expansions with additional cards!
Local game stores have also received some promotional materials to advertise and promote the TCG launch—many thanks goes to JN user taylord from Tokyo Toybox in North Carolina for writing in with these great photos! She also notes that if your local game store doesn't have the product, they may be able to order it if you ask—showing demand will help the packs show up in even more stores!
