Starterpass is now out of print

Starterpass is now out of print by Konami. Today I received an E-mail from Otacute They cancel my reservation for Starterpass, When I ask them why? here an answer “Your reservation (back-order) was not approved because there is no more available starterpass in Konami“

When I got that message I went to konamistyle to check it. It’s true you can’t order them from konamistyle anymore. It’s out of print now.

It seem like It’s selling well (It’s the best selling from otacute) a lot of people want it. Now It’s out of print but I still hope they will reprint it in the future and thanks to aureleus for telling  me (I check an E-mail+konami style because of you).

Cheapest Boosterpass For Someone Who can’t buy it from Official Site

Before I’m going to tell you I would like to say sorry To Ebay Seller and Someone who doing a business selling Duelpass/Boosterpass, This post may ruin your business and make you lost a lot of profits but I really want to write a honest post for Player benefits.

Paypal Duelpass/Boosterpass from Official Site have the best price (2.99$ for each one) but It’s not available to the world there are a few country that can buy it (US/JP and some country).

if you can’t buy it from Official Site Where to buy it? The Answer is buy it from E-bay or other sites that sell it (Check Sidebar Online Duel Pass Store – I gather a links of site that sell duelpass/boosterpass there) but the problem is The Price is always a lot higher than official site (4$ or more).

How to find the cheapest one this is the question for a lot of player. I found it now the cheapest Boosterpass are from Amiami.

I knew Amiami for long time because I always go there to check a next duelpass name and description (they always put an info faster than V-Jump maybe they are Konami partner) everytime I go there it’s always JPN site. I never knew they already made an english site for International Buyer until Zeirnaton told me in YO3 Today Update 2010/3/15.

After I heard it from him I went there an order Boosterpass Stardust Rising (I want to buy Starterpass but it’s out of stock now). I ask them I want only the code I don’t want to pay for the shipping but they decline to sent only the code but even you pay for it+shipping price, It’s still cheaper than buying from ebay/other sites.

I bought 1 Box of Stardust Rising (15 Boosterpass) for 4,490 yen (4040 yen+shipping to thailand 450 yen). This is the cheapest Boosterpass I ever buy in my life because I can’t buy from official site.

4490 yen =  49.61899 U.S. dollars which means I pay 3.33$ for one of it.

***Note – If you want to know how much it cost just search google with “number+yen =” (EX= search with this word “4490 yen =”) It will display how much it cost in US Dollar If you want to know how much it cost in your currency you can use Yahoo Currency Converter to convert between JPN yen to your currency.

Today I got it from Amiami and this is the first time touching real duelpass/boosterpass (Everytime I buy it from ebay/other site and got only the code).

The Package is brand new seal in the box.

Please Pay Attension to the Weight (0.3 kg) because more weight will cost you more money.

This is the best price for me but they don’t sell a single of them they sell at least 1 box to you+there is only Stardust Rising and Starterpass available (Starterpass out of stock now).

The Best thing from Amiami is Starterpass. They have the best price. They sell it for 807 yen (standard price is 900 yen) while Ebay bidding is 30$ or more (You can’t buy it anywhere except for buying from Japan) but it’s out of stock now.

If you would like to buy from Amiami you need to create an account before, Then search with this keyword “yu-gi-oh online” when you see an item add it to the cart and check out They accept Paypal.

***Note – When you make an account make sure your name and address are the same with paypal account.

After you check out you need to wait for them to email total price for you (I wait 1 day).

This is the example mail

Yu-Gi-Oh Online News From V-Jump 5/2010

Credit Picture From : kokonoerin115′s Blog and Command Knight’s Blog

This month V-Jump give you an information about NPC. Which cards you get and Which Avatar Item you can get from them + Counter cards for each NPC Deck.

It tell you only Cards and Avatar Item you can get from Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s NPC in each Friendship LV but it didn’t tell you how many wins require to get them but we already knew it.

2 cards you see under each NPC is a Counter Cards for Each NPC.

For The List of Avatar Items and cards you can get from NPC you can check it at http://www.duelevolution.info/yo3-npc/ (Even It’s not 100% complete but it will give you more information than V-Jump).

YO3 Today Update 2010/3/15

There is an upgrade from konami today (but no patch) they change a lobby from 5 lobby become 10 (for each country/World Lobby) but it still 100 people limit per lobby.

This is downgrade from YO2 We don’t need more room just a few room that can contain a lot of people, I hope they will fix it soon.

I also got an image from my friend who bought a Starterpass he sent me a picture of what you got after you enter the code.

He got Black Rose Dragon deck one of 3 random deck you can get from it. This Deck Name “Starter001″

He also get a random Avatar Item It seem like there are 6 avatar items you can get (I read from Ebay Seller Item). He got Akiza’s Mask (Witch Mask) You will not automatically get it but it will add into Blister’s Hideout for 0 BP (Free).

Here Some Screenshot of Avatar Item in action

Ebay Price is really expensive 900 yen (9.9324$) become 30$+ (tripple of standard price).

A Lot of People want to buy it even you get 30 Boosterpass points at that price, If It’s me I will buy Stardust Rising X5 (150 BP) or other duelpass instead of getting 1 random starter deck+ 1 random avatar item.

If you are Beginner I recommend buying other boosterpass/duelpass to get a Structure Deck + Booster points to spend at Blister’s Hideout. It will help you getting start faster than pay big for 1 Starterpass.

I forgot to tell you you can’t trade card you get from NPC (YO2 You can trade it) and Konami Patch 2010/3/12 also added a Evaluation into the game (You can rate your opponent at the end of duel, It’s the same system that YO1 have).
