The picture says it all. Never buy a box of that horrible HS Truimpahil Set. EVER. I can easily tell you what box to get instead, but that can easily be said by buying any other Pokemon TCG set (even 36 PoP packs). And the question pretty much varies from person to person of what kinds of cards they need/want or whatever. Therefore, I will not recommend any set. Instead I will tell you what is more valuable of a purchase of that $85, by suggesting ANYTHING ELSE for the holiday season. Here are my best suggestions:
VIDEO GAMES
Wii game: up to $50.
Xbox 360 or PS3 game: $60.
DS game: up to $40
Nintendo Points card: $20
1600 Microsoft Points card: $20
PlayStation Network Card ($20): $20 (obviously)
Depending on what system you own is what you want to get. Be careful on what game you buy in any case as every library of games in any of the systems are mostly riddled with garbage. Do not pick out a random game out of nowhere because chances are, you will get shit more often than not (you might as well buy a Triumphail box if that’s how you decide to buy games). You don’t want to have horrible titles like Elite Beat Agents, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Bomberman Act Zero, Lair, or some shitty Barbie, licensed sports/movie, board, or other worthless shovelware title. To find a game you would want, think about what you want, research what kind of game is best for you. Use the Internet for resources. Oh yeah be sure to adhere to the ESRB and not by any M rated games if you are not the age. Here are my suggestions:
WII
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Super Sluggers
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Metroid Other M
Pokemon Battle Revolution (Best you get that game online for less than $40)

Rather than give you a list I will just tell you to check out “Popular Titles” that is the best I can give you. There is too much available that I can recommend. Other than that just research the games you may want. If you are very familiar with classic games, then you really don’t need me to tell you what you want.

There is probably more things you can get for cheap, but that’s what you can usually get for cheap. These things come in handy for backing up your computer , replacing broken hardware, refilling media like CD-R’s, or getting useful stuff in general. This totally beats the living hell out of buying boxes of terrible Pokemon TCG sets.
CLOTHES
Not going to list anything for this because I barely shop for clothes. But $85 can net you some fancy looking apparel or epic suits. That alone is far more worthwhile than buying some really crappy box of HS Triumphail. How some great pants, or some awesome shoes you always wanted. Hell, pick out a decent set and you are good to go. Why even bother wasting that money on a shitty overrated set anyway when you can improve in appearance. Hell, you could get on hell of a facial makeover or dye your hair a different color.
SHOPPING SPREE
$85 is an amazing amount of money and you can just go to Walmart or Target and shop until you drop. You could throw a party with all that food and crap. Especially eating Twinkies (yum!) and drinking a nice pepsi (or beer in a liquor store). Here is a list of things you get can get while shopping at a place like that:
Twinkies
Soda
Cake
Tea
Coffee
Pizza
Hot Dogs
Ice Cream
Cookies
Chicken
And tons of more food related stuff. Not mention if you are in Target or Walmart, you may be able to find a good Pokemon TCG Blister Packs, compilations, decks, booster packs, and other stuff there (as always avoid Triumphail like the plague and the blister promos suck). And many other possible combinations.
So instead of buying a HS Triumphail booster box, you can go with these better options, even though there are better boxes to buy as well. Truimphail is a horrible set and the cards are unnecessarily pricey. Just avoid that horrible set because it is just not worth it. The Halo Hype of this set is just a deceiving fog that will lead to a dead end and drain you of money.
DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING HS TRUIMPHAIL!!!!
