January promises to kick off the New Year with a bang for Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) enthusiasts with the release of Prismatic Evolution, the highly anticipated English set. But the excitement doesn’t stop there—on December 6th, Japan welcomes Terastal Festival, a set packed with stunning cards that will form the backbone of the English release.
While we await the official drop of Prismatic Evolution, the Japanese release gives us an enticing preview of what’s in store. Let’s dive into the dazzling details of the standout cards revealed, and, in other news, some recent arrivals at We Love Collectibles, and some rare treasures we’ve seen pass through the store!
Eeveelution Spotlight: The Stars of the Show
One of the crown jewels of the Terastal Festival set is the stunning collection of Eeveelution special illustration rare cards. Featuring Eevee and its eight evolutions—Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon—these cards are a breathtaking display of vibrant artwork and intricate design.
Each card beautifully incorporates the Terastal phenomenon, a concept introduced in the Scarlet and Violet games. The Pokémon are adorned with radiant crowns, and the backgrounds explode with color, blending themes of nature, crystals, and energy. These cards are already generating buzz, with many fans comparing Umbreon’s card to the legendary “Moonbreon” (Umbreon VMAX from Evolving Skies). If the rarity aligns similarly in the English release, these could be among the most sought-after cards of 2024.
And for those visiting our Margate location, don’t miss the chance to grab the sought-after Pokémon 151 Mini Tins, which are only available in-store. These are perfect for fans nostalgic for the original Pokémon line-up!
Something we didn’t mention previously, in our product overview page for Prismatic Evolution is the fantastic Eevee promotional card, included within the Prismatic Evolution ETB – worth the pick-up alone, and we’ll be sure to have tons of ETB’s in stock upon release next year. You may even get the chance to win an a free ETB with our set launch events – much like our recently held Surging Sparks party, held earlier this month at our store at Westwood Business Park – check it out!

EX Holon Phantoms and Sandstorm Treasures
One of the best parts about running a card shop is encountering incredible cards from Pokémon’s storied past. Recently, we purchased a collection featuring EX Holon Phantoms and EX Sandstorm cards.
