Dear members,
Mr. Arai Jin and the new artists are very anxious to get feedback on how the new tokens look like. I have told them to read this thread. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

The fronts are wonderful!
The back, if it's the back which is shown in the middle of the announcement page, is more questionnable.
The art stule looks radically different from the anime / manga style we are used to.
Also, I noticed that Jun Minagishi was not the sole artist in this set. Who are the other ones? (names are really hard to read given the image size).
Anyway, congrats. It's a very nice set. I still don't get what a Pentavite is and I find Pentavites ugly (in general, not the token) but I do not play, which should explain why I can't understand ...
And, erm. What is a "K" 
Regards,
Eric.

Kaldra Token.
I agree with everything Eric said. Except for the part about not knowing what the 'K' token was. And I like the backs. And I like the fact that different artists are featured. And I like Pentavites and find them very atractive. 
A good departure from the past series.
Great work in getting these for us Jim! We'll try to keep the complaints and accusations to a minimum this time.

I like these new tokens. The darker coloration will be a pleasant change. The primary comment/query I would have on these, is to ask what the thickness is like. Personally, that was the only complaint I would have had from the 10th series - just thought the paper stock was far too thin. But otherwise all is great.
Another question I would like to ask, is why on these newer creature type tokens, that they are just using a letter, rather than the name of the token type?
And lastly (maybe this thread is a good place to ask here), is there any idea that since Mr. Jin is continuing to create tokens, is he able/willing to do anything about all these counterfeiters?? Especially this last one in Italy that commented to RG about them creating tokens, not to mention all the fakes coming out of Singapore. I can understand if he is not able to do anything about, but is he concerned about these actions, and has he tried, or thought about doing anything about this counterfeiting?
Thank you Crazy Clowns, you do good work - just wish I would be able to still get some of the older cards!!

Sorry Drags, I believe NormalBrains is asking "why" the abbreviations, not "what"  Same as I am wondering too

dragsamou: I can not answer these questions at the current time. We will see when Jim will hold the cards in hand. Regardingf the flavor text, I suggest you download the images and view them on your computer. They are much bigger than displayed. Note that I explained this on the bottom of the promotion text
normalbrains: Arai Jin has told me that these tokens are again produced by the Kanbi corporation, so they probably have the same thickness as older series cards (and are therefore thicker than the 10th series cards). We will have to wait until Jim will hold the cards in hand to know for sure, though.

I love the new design
The backs are great.
But what i love most: The flavor of the graphics for the different color type on the left of the textbox is wonderful. That's an 500% better idea as wizard had for their new design.
Thanks again to all those involved making this again possible to us 
Edit for some questions:
Are there 350 sets including those already sold in japan?
How many were sold in japan?

for future sets, can some corners be cut to make the cards less expensive?

I agree, tokens are getting expensive. Nevertheless they are sold at such prices so if we want some ....

I might be willing to cut the corners off of one of the sets I get. If so, I can sell those corners to you (rather than throwing them in the trash for you!!)
