November 15, 2007--'Twas the week before Thanksgiving in the trading card aisles, well stocked items went on for miles and miles. Target exclusive Lucario tins! And Wal-mart with two new gift packs: one with both Pika and Chatot POP foils, another with yet another Pikachu foil! Maybe omahanime can shoot us a scan? When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a NEW MINIATURE TFG STARTER PACK oh so near! With a little ol' trainer, GREEN cap on his head, I knew in a moment IT COULD NOT BE RED!!! I have in my disbelieving hands a Pokemon Groundbreakers "Skydive" TFG Starter containing: Green, Latios, Raticate and Hariyama! Although this was the only new item I located, the back of the pack has THE NEW TFG EXPANSION SPOILER FIGURE LIST!!!

Armaldo, Blastoise, Bulbasaur, Cacnea, Cyndaquil, Elekid, Flaafy, Geodude, Girafarig, Hariyama, Jigglypuff, Kabuto, Kadabra, Lairon, Lapras, Larvitar, Latias, Latios, Linoone, Mankey, Metagross, Mewtwo, Mightyena, Noctowl, Poliwag, Psyduck, Raticate, Slaking, Smoochum, Snubbull, Spinarak, Spinda, Steelix, Venusaur, Wartortle, Wobbuffet, Xatu, Zubat, Green, Koga, Landon, Sabrina.

I apologize if there are any typos, my hands are shaking, I have been on several sites and have not found a release date nor a spoiler list; a local game shop owner said he was solicited by his distributor for a December release date. Pokemon official sites don't have the info up yet that I could see easily and they didn't mention anything other than "in development" in their reply to me last week. Um. OK. "In development"--how does that translate into I have purchased it? :D Now before anyone starts whining here, Santa isn't bringing it to me officially until Xmas; heck, I haven't even seen the pack on e-Bay so that should tell ya something. So keep your eyes REALLY peeled come that big shopping day after the big bird. And Pojo, I really am on vacation, so, if you have any questions, I'll be back Monday. :P
