FamilyMart booster boxes give more foils than normal boxes

Two sets of the FamilyMart BT01 blister packs. Each set contains 2 booster packs and 3 promotional cards.
Japanese cardfighters have begun opening up blister packs from the FamilyMart-Circle K Sunkus collaboration between the eponymous convenience store giant and Bushiroad, and the results are showing a very different distribution compared to normal booster boxes of V-Booster Set 01.

A box of blisters contains 10 sets of 2 booster packs each, resulting a 20-pack total rather than the normal 16 found in regular VBT01 boxes. A FamilyMart box contains 1 Vanguard Rare and 1 card that is Vanguard Rare or higher (Origin Rare, Super Vanguard Rare, Image Ride Rare) as well as 3~4 Triple Rares and 7~8 Double Rares. More instances of 4 Triples have been reported thus far than 3.

This box resulted in 1 VR, 1 SCR, 4 RRR, and 8 RR, one of the optimal pulls from a FamilyMart box.
For comparison, normal distribution for one box of V-BT01 is:
  • 1 VR
  • 3 RRR
  • 6 RR
With 4 boxes in a case containing a Super Vanguard Rare instead of a Common, 2 boxes containing a Secret Rare in place of the same, 2 boxes containing an Origin Rare, and 1 box in each case having an Image Ride Rare. (It's possible not every case has an IMR, but this has yet to be proven.)

For the FamilyMart blisters it's instead:
  • 1 VR + 1 more VR or SVR or OR or IMR or Secret Rare
  • 3 or 4 RRR
  • 7 or 8 RR
Case ratios for FamilyMart blisters are unknown. While FamilyMart packs cost 650 yen apiece rather than 300 yen per pack, and thus cost more than buying a pair of packs normally, the fact that every set contains 1 RR or greater and a box of 10 comes with 2 VRs or greater has many fighters rushing to buy as many packs as possible and share the results.

An example of 8 RRs (top) 3 RRRs (bottom right) and 2 VRs (bottom left) opened from a box of 10 blister sets.

FamilyMart distributing alt art Wingal and Aichi promos

Bushiroad and the Japanese retail chain FamilyMart announced a collaboration at more than 7000 participating FamilyMart and Circle K Sunkus convenience stores. Beginning May 25th, customers will be able to buy two-pack sets of V-Booster Set 01: Unite! Team Q4 for 650 yen. (Tax not included.) These sets come with three promotional cards, the TV schedule Blaster Blade, an alternate artwork version of Wingal with its Trial Deck skill, and a Sendou Aichi Force Gift Marker.

Their respective card numbers are VPR/0001, V-PR/0022, and V-GM/0016, and the key art used for the Marker differs from the one used for the booster set's own promo card campaign and Secret Rare. Buying two copies of the set will still get users the promo card pack for buying 4 booster packs.

The special 2 pack set.
