Update (July 10): Pre-orders for the North American version of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet 151 are here. (Click to view and order while they last.)

--

This one is a brand-new retro release from Japan ... and it's already a red-hot release, too.

It's a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet 151 Japanese booster box and it's a release that includes the original 151 Pokemon from the Kanto Region. It arrived on June 16 in Japan and it's already lighting things up with collectors here, too, as a top seller not only in the Blowout world but elsewhere.

Why? They're nods to the originals. The original Pokemon are joined by other cards taking this one over the 200-card mark with plenty of familiar names in retro looks and then some "ex" cards that give them a more modern look and energy.

Also interesting here? This one won't formally arrive in the United States soon. The English edition is set for a Sept. 22 release, while its Chinese counterpart does drop soon -- June 30 -- to help satisfy international interest right now .
