Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. 01753 271737 | www.yugioh-card.com/uk Developed and published by Konami, the licensed Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game continues to enjoy extensive growth and constantly refreshed, rotating product lines produced to satisfy the TCG’s passionate fanbase. King’s Court revitalises Yugi’s ‘Three Musketeers of Face Cards’ – King’s Knight, Queen’s Knight, and Jack’s Knight – with a new high-speed Summoning strategy that always leaves players with a full hand. Joining the royal court is the World Premiere Joker’s Knight, a 2000 ATK monster similar to Magician’s Souls that can assume the identity of all three of the Knights. Players can return Joker’s Knight from the Graveyard to their hand during each End Phase by shuffling another Light Warrior from their Graveyard into their Deck, giving them a free Summon to use on every turn without depleting their hand. In addition to Joker’s Knight, two more World Premiere Joker cards, one Spell and one Trap, will provide players with powerful effects and then return to their hand in the End Phase. Keeping a full hand is important for maximising the power of the World Premiere Arcana Triumph Joker. This card powers up based on the total number of cards in both players’ hands and lets them discard cards to destroy all faceup cards their opponent controls with the same card type. Arcana Triumph Joker isn’t the only monster out there that powers up based on cards in-hand. Players looking to power up their Egyptian God Deck: Slifer the Sky Dragon can use these new cards to gather Tributes, add to their Summoning power, and keep Slifer the Sky Dragon strong without forgoing their ability to play their cards. Players can use Slifer and Arcana Triumph Joker in the same Deck for even more firepower. King’s Court also has new cards to expand a wide variety of Decks fans might have started building in 2021, including new cards related to Deck strategies and themes introduced or supported in Legendary Duelists: Season 2, Lightning Overdrive, and more. Players will be on the lookout for Collector’s Rare versions of World Premiere cards and previously unreleased cards from Japan, as well as classic and competitive favourites. Launching 1st July, the complete King’s Court booster set contains 62 cards: 10 Ultra Rare Cards, 15 Super Rare Cards and 37 Rare Cards. 15 cards in the set are also available as Collector’s Rares.
Bachmann Europe 07739 200 153 | www.bachmann.co.uk | sales@toyway.co.uk Following the success of its first run of die-cast Chopper models in late 2020, Bachmann Europe has announced that it is now also producing the models in authentic blue and black colour schemes. The models are available in four different authentic retro colourways, and feature working steering and pedal movement, PVC vinyl black tyres with detailed tread pattern, and a kick stand so buyers can display their Chopper at home. This blast from the past makes an ideal kidult gift for fans of the 70s. The iconic Vulcan Bomber has also been depicted in a model form that will appeal to all aviation devotees. Available exclusively from Bachmann stockists in the UK and around the world, the new model depicts the Vulcan B2 in 1:144 scale. Modelled on XM607, which is now preserved at RAF Waddington, this Vulcan played a pivotal role during the Falklands War, successfully completing the first Operation Black Buck sortie, the RAFs most daring attack since Operation Chastise – the Dambusters raid in World War 2. The plastic model is pre-painted and assembled, comes with a display stand, and includes an inner sleeve created using the actual Vulcan training board, featuring images courtesy of the Vulcan to the Sky Trust. Bachmann Europe distributes a wide variety of plastic kits covering different scales and subject matter. The Titanic-themed kits make ideal projects for those who have an interest in the famous ship’s history and are suitable for a wide variety of modelling skill levels. The R.M.S. Titanic kit from Academy is great for beginners as it requires no glue, no tools, and no paint. The R.M.S. Titanic + LED Set allows the modeller to add more drama to their finished piece with battery operated internal LED lights. Bachmann’s biggest kit, the Trumpeter, measures 1.3 metres long and boasts a wealth of details including photo-etch railings and ladders, plus a bonus LED lighting set.
