It'll be with a tear in our eye ;) that we break open the boxes for the final 5Ds Sneak Peek this weekend - 30th April/1st May. Extreme Victory is upon us and it looks like it'll be sending 5Ds off in pretty decent style.
First up - if you haven't been following all the breaking news, you wont know that Reborn Tengu is the Sneak Peek promo card. Turning the crystal ball on, it looks like we might not see quite how useful this card is until we start to see more from YuGiOh! Zexal in the summer time. It's probably one to acquire a playset of, and tuck them away somewhere in the meantime.
Archetype-wise, we have the eagerly anticipated Tech Genus from the anime making its first appearance. There's also Meklord heading our way. Both of them look pretty significant from early looks and with quite a few TCG exclusives still to be revealed, there's a good chance there's more to come too. You'll also find Karakuri, Scrap, Psychic, 6 Sam and plenty others too getting new cards. Gonna be fun.
If you want to find out more, there's always our main Extreme Victory guide page, and if you live near us in Scotland, you can sign up for our Sneak Peek here.

Turbo Pack 5 Spoiler List Revealed
Turbo Pack: Booster 5 has now appeared on the scene, and as usual has caused, erm, heated debate to put it politely. Colossal Fighter as the Ultimate - some love it, some don't. Miracle Fusion being loved by most. Laquari popular with those still clinging onto Glad Beast. Plenty to talk about - head over to our Turbo Pack Spoiler page for the full list and tell us what you think.

The Second Zexal Booster Announced
Well Generation Force hasn't even hit the streets of Japan yet, and here we are, already in possession of the name of the next one. It's called Photon Shockwave, it'll be the second Zexal booster, and it's due for Japanese OCG release on July 16th of this year. Now for the next bit, you folks talk amongst yourselves while I attempt to fill up the rest of this blog post, because that's pretty much the sum total of what we know about it so far. Oh, other than the cover card will be called Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and I'd place a bet right now (if Ladbrokes would entertain me) that it's an Exceed Monster. As usual we have a (currently rather sparse looking) information page on Photon Shockwave, that'll grow as we find out more.

Gold Series 4 Announced
Having seen the success of the first three editions, it came as no big surprise to learn this week that Gold Series 4 has been confirmed for TCG release in June 2011. As usual, it'll be a reprint series of some of the most sought after cards in the game, and as before it'll only be available from independent hobby suppliers. What is new though is (apparently - the press release was a little vague) the inclusion of a game mat, which'll be the first time one has been available to buy at retail.
And so, the rumour mill begins - what'll be included this time up. Of course, everyone's first thoughts turn to Pot of Duality, although I'm betting 'not this time'. As the details emerge, you can find everything you need to know about Gold Series 4 here.

Exceed Summons
Ah, it only seems like yesterday that we were all discussing what impact an outlandish thing called a Synchro Summon might have on the game, and now here we are back doing it all again for Exceed Summons. The YuGiOh! Zexal series brings with it the brand new Exceed Summon, and with a deck built correctly, it looks to be even easier to do than Synchro.
The first few Exceed Monsters out of the blocks don't look like there's anything desperate to get excited about (see our last post), but there always is a 'but' isn't there. What we have no idea about yet is the support they're going to get. That's when we'll really find out how much impact they'll have. Anyway, if you haven't been following this so far, we've brought you a guide to everything we know about Exceed Summons so far, including how the new principal of Rank works.

The First Exceed Monsters Revealed
This week, I thought I'd give you a run through of the Exceed Monsters we've seen so far. At the time of writing, I've seen precisely five, although I must be honest and say I haven't had a look at the one from the Exceed Startup Duel Terminal yet. Of the other four, there's been one from the Generation Force booster and three from the Zexal OCG Starter Deck.
Starting (I guess logically) with the Starter Deck, the one I've been most interested in so far is Aspiring Emperor Hope. 2500 ATK and reasonably easy to summon with two level four monsters, the effect is a fairly handy one too, buying a bit of time to grab control of the field.
Gurensaurus sees a return of dinosaurs and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. So far, we've only seen the card in a promo poster, with one or two key details of the card text obscured, but unless that missing bit of text causess a huge amount of damage to the opponent, I can't see any reason to get excited. Also, unless I'm missing something, there's nothing too special about the third one either - Gachigachi Gantetsu.
Moving on to Generation Force, we have Revise Dragon. It's the cover card from the booster and can quickly get up to 3K attack (although it can't attack directly once it's done that). Still for an easy cost of two level three monsters, I reckon this is quite handy. Good times :)

OCG Release Round Up
With the forthcoming launch of Zexal for the OCG, it's an exciting time for all YuGiOh! players wherever they are in the world. As promised last week, this is just a quick post today to keep you up to speed with forthcoming OCG Zexal releases, and all the stuff we know about them so far.
March 19th is the big date for the diaries - on that day, we get the brand new 2011 OCG Zexal Starter deck 2011, and finally get to solve all the mysteries around how Exceed Summoning works. Over on our guide page to the deck, we've got a guide to what we know so far about Exceed Summons, but there's still a huge number of questions around how it impacts other game mechanics, so we wait with bated breath.
We then need to contain our excitement for nearly a full month before we get the next two installments. First up, there's a new Duel Terminal - the name Exceed Startup tells us everything we need to know :) Then we have the first OCG booster for Zexal - Generation Force - out on the 16th April in Japan, and featuring loads of the cards already seen in the new Manga. Exciting times!
