Just in time for the busy Spring vacation and Easter selling season, Premium Gold lands on store shelves March 28^th.  The Premium Gold set is a treasure trove of awesome cards and introduces a new Gold Secret card rarity, with a ton of new, never-released cards.  In addition, it takes the best of past Gold Series sets, with Gold Rare cards that have been previously available only through limited channels which now will be available to all Duelists at hobby stores and retailers nationwide.  Each five-card Premium Gold mini-pack contains two Gold Secrets – each card is either a brand new, never-before-seen card, or one of three Legendary God Cards from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series: Obelisk the Tormenter, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra. Additionally, each mini-pack also has three standard Gold Rares – one card never released as a Gold Rare before, plus two of the greatest hits from a past Gold Series set, all for an MSRP of $14.99 per box.

The highly anticipated Dragons of Legend booster packs make their long-awaited debut on April 25^th. Cards drawn from all four Yu-Gi-Oh! television series are the stars of this set including some of the most popular and fan-requested television cards, such as Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight.  The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Dragons of Legend includes dozens of brand new cards from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, and Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. At an MSRP of $3.99, each five-card pack is guaranteed to contain four powerful Super Rare cards along with one Secret Rare – the perfect power-up for any Duelist’s collection!

Konami is offering three ideal accessories to help Duelists show off and protect all these new cards.  With a new anti-slip feature, both the 4-pocket (holds 160 cards) and the 9-pocket (holds 180 cards) Duelist Portfolios are perfect products to help keep cards organized. The 4-pocket portfolio is already available and the 9-pocket portfolio will be available April 25^th. Next, Yu-Gi-Oh! Legendary Sleeves feature favorite characters from the classic Yu-Gi-Oh! animated series and at an MSRP of $4.99, these 70-card sleeves per pack make it an easy and affordable way to keep cherished cards safe and secure.

This completely new gameplay mechanic introduced in this Deck will add two new zones to the game field that will turn every Duel into a true battle!

The busy tournament and convention season means plenty of opportunities to Duel, so players will want to go to their local store to pick up some extra Dueling power found in Battle Pack 3*. On sale late July, Battle Pack 3 is designed specifically for booster draft play – but with a new twist from Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants. The Battle Pack series makes it easy to build new Decks – just open the packs, make brand new Decks from those cards, and start Dueling! Battle Pack 3 will be available for an MSRP of $1.99 per pack.

In August, stores will be sizzling with sales when, releasing on August 8^th, is a booster set introducing several new themes to competitive play for this Fall, including several themes that work with the new mechanics introduced in the 2014 Starter Deck. Boasting   the new monster type, Pendulum Monsters and new summoning technique, this MSRP $3.99 per nine-card pack is sure to excite Duelists.
