delivery was fast, the product seems untampered with to the best of my knowledge, since i compared it with another bought from a retailer, the price is reasonable, and it came in good enough condition since both suffered from a slight bend at the back of the box from shipping, only thing i could really add, would be to deliver it in a bit more flattering packaging since it seemed a bit overkill and messy, i liked the little note also, to say thank you.

Will be using in the future multiple times, definitely recommend, next day deliver always
Product contains 180 cards split into 3 60 card battle decks, along with a playing board, instructions and other minor essentials.
Each deck includes a GX holo card and a couple of rares aswell.
Compared to the 60 card deck boxes and tins around right now, the battle academy is fantastic value and worth purchasing by those who already know how to play, as well as those who don’t.

One very happy new year’s eve birthday boy, he had a red box not the blue, his favourite colour so even happier. Comes in a nice box and packaged really well. An hour later and he’s still smiling, well worth the money as usually buy a pack at 4, will definitely buy another one, thanks

This is for my 9 year old son for Christmas he’s pokemon crazy and is going to love this set.
Second box Iv bought of the celebration collection, managed to pull a zard from the last pack along with all other amazing cards! If price drops back to RRP I shall buy two more!
My teenage son loved it, got lucky with a rainbow pull so he was very happy. Good value box.
Very happy with purchase, grandson is going to be over the moon.
Many thanks.
After reading some questionable reviews I decided to open the box before wrapping for Christmas. The contents looks perfect. The 8 card packs are sealed, there are two card coins, dice, amount other things I didn’t want to delve into too much for fear of ruining the newness. But all looks in tact and can’t wait for Christmas morning (and having to learn these new battle styles!)
Great starting game for the learning how to use Pokemon cards. I used to have them when I was a kid, but never knew how to use them. I bought this on a friends recommendation.
For me this ticks a lot of boxes.
I should clarify this. I come from a board gaming background in general (I own between 60-70 board games, which get changed from time to time). It was the game point that interested me most.
The game is a deck building game, but with a few difference. You build your deck before playing, and pit your deck against an opponents to see who’s is better.
That sounds basic, but there is a lot of strategy in how and when to use your cards, so every game is different.
Now, having said about building a deck, I should disclaim here: This box has 3 decks ready built for you. This is really a game to learn the ropes, as well as giving you some starting decks to work with. As far as value goes, it is extremely good value! To build a deck nowadays can cost a lot, depending on the strength of the deck. To get 3 decks here for effectively 5 each is unbelievably good value (The 3 GX cards alone would be worth 2-3 each).
I started with this, and have since bought other cards, which have adapted and grown the strength of the decks I have.
All in all, its a good game. It is really a starter for getting into the Pokemon TCG, and to be honest, I couldn’t really recommend a better place to start. Great product, great value!
Bought this for my daughter who has become obsessed with Pokmon. This set was hard to find in stock! Was disappointed that the 25th anniversary packs only had 4 cards but it’s a small collection so presumably that was their rationale. We were u lucky with some relatively poor printing quality on some of the 25th anniversary cards that I have not seen before.
Well constructed, easy to use, however, beware of paper cuts, the edges of the album are so stiff i sliced myself multiple times while handling it. Will probably soften with use but wasn’t a pleasant experience.
I have ordered a few of these and on the whole they are great items with a good pull rate. I find my biggest issue is with handling, have had a box arrive that looked destroyed, someone obvs saw the damage. Amazon returns team are great and efficient but hassle non the less, especially if you see a rare beauty in that damaged pile

Brought for my grandson for Christmas. Know he will be very happy
Had amazing cards inside, all were good quality without any errors and was the best price I could find definitely recommend.
I bought this to play with my 6 year old boy, after only recently buying my son a deck of Pokemon trading cards for 20euro plus I realised that we’d need another to have a proper game, after scouring Amazon and a few other websites looking for reasonably priced deck, I found this set which includes 3 decks with some classic Pokemon the board and some pretty expansive yet easy to understand instructions along with a few other bits and bobs essential to play we were playing in no time and my little lad was ecstatic in particular over the Charizard & Piccachu decks overall very happy with the contents and it all cost less the initial deck I bought a few days ago to begin with (much better value for money) and for set of novices pretty easy to figure out, would definitely recommend to other parents who have kids looking to get into Pokemon cards
Bought this to start out and it’s perfect, comes with 3 full decks, board, how to play guides and everything else you need. If you’re starting out or wanna get into TCG then this is perfect. Has a nice Charizard and Mewtwo full art card.
Ordered this product with a little worry that the item could fake/resealed, as loads are nowadays. I was absolutely delighted once it arrived to find it’s 100% as advertised. Delivery was quick and the celebrations box was mint and untampered. Thank you O J A trading for a 1st class service and 1st class product, very nice doing business with you!
Update.. was even more delighted when I pulled Charizard 😀 best buy I’ve had in a while

Really liked this product and got a great pull. I did check to see if they were resealed but luckily they were not. Very happy with this box
Saw some reviews on here that made me alittle worried but was so happy once I got the box. Perfectly sealed, got some great pulls and wasn’t tampered with. Great elite box if you want to get one.

This was bought as a reward for a brilliant school report for my 5 year old grandson he loved it
(I still thought you could pick these things up from a newsagent for a few pound like my son did years ago!!! How wrong I was but promised him he would have them so Amazon did next day delivery and as always delivered on time!!!)
Happy Nanny happy grandson
Many thanks

These are great. They are good value as a treat for the child who likes Pokemon. I also like that the packaging of these is ‘gift worthy’!
My son bought this with some birthday money, it’s a brilliant introduction to Pokemon TCG, the decks and manuals that come with it walk you through a tutorial, and we picked it up straight away. Lots of replay value too.
The game turned up quickly, as it’s sold by Amazon. Flawless buying experience, as usual – click and Amazon sorts it out.
On the game itself, you get a lot for your money. Well presented and all parts are made with quality materials that should last for years. There are 3 full decks of cards supplied. Novice players can start with those and get acquainted with the game itself. Those who are used to the TCG via app or via browser will be familiar with the format and will be able jump in straight away and be entertained by physically handling the various functions and a match will take longer than the electronic version. I’ve had a brilliant time with my kids playing the Pokemon TCG as a board game and I am sure we will be getting this back out often.

The tracking said I was going to wait for weeks for my delivery but it come the next day with no issues and the box was in good condition. Well worth the money.
This is my first time buying pokemon booster boxes and didn’t expect much out of it but was hoping for snorlax secret. However instead gone and pulled a card even better imo. Fast delivery, packs in perfect condition and I feel as though the bad reviews are people who were unlucky with their pulls and decided to take it out on the seller. Will definitely be buying more.
Lots of scary reviews on this product about tampered items. I chose to not purchase the cheapest option but a known card seller, Chaos Cards, whether that makes a difference, I don’t know, but arrived on time and got correct pulls including a vmax, not Tampered with like other people have mentioned.
Good value you get 5 packs 3 promo cards a note pad a coin and stickers. Although the packs are a bit meh you get 2 vivid voltage sun and moon base sword and shield base and sun and moon burning shadows I would have liked to see more vivid Voltage packs and less of the other sort but hey it was still fun opening them

Loved every second of opening them, got a gold secret rare Houndoom who alone made it worth it for me.
Will buy again soon, maybe I’ll get the chilling reigns one instead 🙂
I was a little concerned by some of the comments on here about receiving resealed packs, ours came directly from amazon and was still factory sealed. My son was so pleased as he got an ultra rare card in there.
While this is great i ordered the blue box and the red one came instead… i can’t return it so I’m having to find the blue one again. Sure my son will love it though.
Ordered directly from Amazon (as opposed to a 3rd party seller) I was a little uncertain about ordering a booster box from amazon, but i am happy to say I got a sealed, genuine box, and managed to pull some great cards! Love this set!
for new collectors/relatives buying for presents:
amazon only displays the cheapest option on the main page- click “New (xx) from” to look through sellers if you intend to buy from amazon. even better to just buy from the seller directly if its available/you can afford the potential higher delivery time + cost. mine was from Titan Games UK and everything seemed fine, pressumably a trusted seller. writing this as there is a tonne of tampering/scalping out there and its much eaiser to fall into this trap if you buy immeditately and/or just pick the cheapest option displayed, in my case Titan Games UK option was <2 more than the seller displayed as default on the amazon.
other odd comments:
bought 2 (at random) and recieved 1 of each (evee + snorlax). both contained rayquaza coins instead of the mew coin shown in the image, i preferred the design on these actually. 1 pack had a yellow line at the bottom seal, 1 pack had the cards upside down in. to my knowledge, the packs in triple boosters tend to have slightly better pull rates than other options. given this, combined to other known manufacturing issues (such as the elite trainer box "error boxes"), i believe these minor alterations come from pokemon and not the seller mine came from.

Pulled these amazing cards from one of the packs in the tin!
Will defo be purchasing another.
Great value starter set that includes everything you need to get going if you have no Pokemon cards or knowledge. To receive three full decks of sixty cards represents a bargain when you consider the price of booster packs that you might buy later. The instructions included are very clear, guiding through your first game. The game itself is quite fun though much depends on the luck you have in drawing your cards. There is a GX card in every deck that will steamroller the others, so our early experience is that whoever gets theirs out first will win the game as there is no obvious way to counter it. So the battles can be one-sided. That might be something to balance by getting additional cards to alter the decks. Overall a good entry for newcomers like me (and my son)

Bought this booster box of battle styles to draft with younger members of family, needless to say it went great and had good pulls also.
The box was pristine in officially sealed and not tampered with condition unlike amazon’s other TCG products.
My children are 5 and a 1/2 yrs old and we love it. We’d never played Pokmon before but after a few goes they’ve got the hang of it and can play all the rules. The three themed decks that come with it have enough variety to keep things interesting for long enough. The instructions include a play by play example using the included cards so it’s a nice way to quickly learn. Very glad I bought it.
This is a great box set for getting into playing the pokemon tcg. My son inherited lots of pokemon cards and wanted to start playing, this came with two guided decks and a third bonus deck. The manuals for each deck play you through a guided game and also has a more detailed rule book.
It’s so quick to get out, set up and put away after playing. It’s quickly become our go to family game due to the ease of set up and put away.

The card art is fantastic to look at and maybe I got lucky with a gold card and 3 mega rares but I felt I got my moneys worth.
Would buy again if I am looking to complete my set.
However, the packs included within seem to have been tampered with. The packs were much less durable than other packs I’ve opened previously, and the code cards were backwards. Though, these may be normal for this series and I just don’t know about it. Also, in one pack all of the trainer and Pokemon cards were grouped together, which is highly unlikely (though possible) to occur normally.
Though even if they were tampered with, the code cards worked as usual, and there were still rare cards, so it has seemingly had no effect on the contents.
Overall, I’d say it was a good quality product, but just a little annoying knowing that someone had already opened them.

Arrived next day, please note I made sure I ordered from Amazon as the supplier due to seeing negative reviews in here of other suppliers. Product was sealed as we’re all the contents, I was lucky, I got several holos and a good mix of cards, I’d definitely order again.

Didn’t enjoy this pokemon release as much as other recent ones, however still decent and would buy agai
I play this with my son regularly. He already has a supply of Pokemon cards, but the cards included in this starter set are sufficient. You can always add more cards later on if you think you need more, but we find the included cards are really enough. It is a lot of fun. Can only be played with two players. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Even for adults 😉

So the product was well printed and in good condition, everything you would expect from a seller like this.
Bought for 20 but later found its 18 rrp so amazon seem to be scalping a bit.
Wanted to get back into pokemon cards and this was the only tin that was close to rrp.
Didn’t really pull anything noteworthy but hard to knock it for that. Tin was a bit dented so knocking a star off for that.

This is amazing my little boy loves Pokemon and this teaches you how to play the card game and now we have had many hours of fun battling recommend to anyone who collected cards as a kid as this brings some fun memory’s back and now I can share that fun with my little lad and he now also plays the online game but the board game is better in my eyes.
Very good product. I mean it is what is is. I would have liked some packaging between the items as they all came in one box, but that was nothing major. Great delivery time as always with Amazon however my other orders have been delayed

Great gift for my sons 10th birthday. It’s a great little tin, comes with some quality Pokmon cards and other little accessories.
I ordered some other Trainer, Supporter and Pokemon species as additional cards just to vary up the decks as it gets samey. Doing this, you can rotate which Pokemon you include and keep decks at x60.
I removed some Kangaskhan and Snorlax for example as you get a few of them, and for my preference added a Jolteon and a Blissey – the latter as you have Eevee/Espeon/!Flareon in the other decks, as well as Chansey.
There are some very fun Trainer cards out there. This box only includes “pick up cards” and “potion” kind or ones. That is fine, but include for my own preference added an Eviolite (really helps out those Basic Pokemon) and Super Energy Removal (if you want a card to really hold back EX as trust me, they’re otherwise going to sweep your entire team).
Bought this for my son who has some pokemon cards but is getting to the point where he wants to learn how to play. This is great value for money as it contains 3 full decks which cost around 12 each. Great value and I know my son will love this.
The decks are clearly the highlight of the product. They are built to provide you with enough card drawing mechanisms that you are never stuck with the cards you have in hand, and neither deck has a weakness to the other decks. The flavor of the decks are also slightly different to each other, with the Mewtwo deck featuring lots of Basic pokemon, Pikachu deck a lot of fast hitting stage one pokemon and the Charizard deck providing the best sweepers with a little bit of needed setup before they start sweeping.
Great game but very complicated for younger people to understand. Will keep it for a few years time when I’m sure it will be better received. Well made and looks good value for money.
Kit is what it says it is… if your looking for special decks or elite cards for a collection then buy the packs.
Me and my daughter have a game almost every day, its ever easy to learn and pretty easy to master. I like the fact it has 3 decks not just 2.
Cards are good quality and the reminder table is a great idea for kids.
Very happy with it.
As it had been so long and i didn’t have any decks, i wanted something to give me some variety as well as teaching my partner how to play.
Having 3 desks allows some variation and they are nicely balanced. we didn’t bother going through the whole guide where they guide you through a pre prepared step by step game (they have numbered cards in case you want to try it again) but i can see it being very useful for complete novices.
The board itself is nice and is an actual board game style construction rather than the usual paper forms.
All in all, good value for money and pleased to get back into it and more importantly pleased my partner enjoyed it.
I would recommend to any beginners or anyone who isn’t sure and doesn’t want to spend lots on specific themed decks.

The board itself is nice and is an actual board game style construction rather than the usual paper forms.
All in all, good value for money and pleased to get back into it and more importantly pleased my partner enjoyed it.
I would recommend to any beginners or anyone who isn’t sure and doesn’t want to spend lots on specific themed decks.

The instructions are well written and have lots of pictures. We struggled to fully understand the game watching mutiple videos on youtube and found with the three sets of instructions we were quickly able to start a game and battle.
The kids loved it. The board itself is good quality and the counters and coin all seem well made and durable. The selection of cards is excellent. There is duplication of cards within the decks but you get the evolved forms of the base cards of pikachu, mewto and charizard. There are enough energy cards and trainer cards as well.
With three full decks the battle academy is excellent value and a firm base to grow your childrens card collections. My children aged 5, 7, 9 and 10 love i
