Bermuda Triangle deck - real?

So, this photo has appeared. Is this a real product? It looks fake to me. There's no Bushiroad logo anywhere on it.

Tweet this!

    It's real. It was created by the shop card kingdom (hence the vg-ck on the top), but it was endorsed by bushiroad.

    Personally I think it's great as all the different clans should eventually get their own starter deck.

    Lol!! XD

    Well, how should we go about explaining this...
    Technically, it is not a real product... but! the cards are real and sold in this format at a shop called Card Kingdom.

    A little background info:
    Card Kingdom started as a small card game section in Gamers,
    back when Mr. Kidani was the CEO of Broccoli.
    At that time, Mr. Ikeda, the CEO of Card Kingdom became good friends with Mr. Kidani,
    and remain so till this day.
    (You can tell as the shop in Vanguard anime - Card Capital is actually a spoof of Card Kingdom. XD)

    Well, back to the deck:
    Card Kingdom has very interesting sales methods and strategies.
    I will leave the rest till the time you are able to visit the stores and find out for yourselves.
    One of the most common practices you might have heard of is that card shops do buy back unwanted single cards from players and sell them.
    Card Kingdom takes it a little further and prepares constructed decks for players just starting the game, but want something stronger than over-the-counter decks.

    This time, they have taken things a lot further, and decided to do a mock-up of the package to look like an official TD from Bushiroad... Very funny,
    but we will have to leave it to the producers if there are any legal implications... XD

      wow... that is kind of confusing and complicated O.O wonder what the producers are going to do... and what about their machine for vanguard?

        Well, nobody was harmed in the process, and it doesn't spoil the company image in any way...
        I guess the producers might let it slide.
        All in the name of fun... XD

        Another update I have from some players in Japan is that the constructed TDs which they sell do not come in a box, but just an ordinary case or plastic shrinkwrap. The mock-up package was just for display at their store... will verify that over the weekend,
        but they certainly had you going there for a while, didn't they? XD

          Another update:
          Verified, went to their store in Akihabara last night to check,
          and the package is just a mock-up.

          Customers who wish to purchase the deck will only get the deck in a plastic wrapper,
          and if they request, the relevant playmats and mini rulebooks.
          The shop staff are really friendly, so all you have to do is ask at the counter! ^_^b

    I know this is old news, but now that the English version of Extra Booster 02 is out, can anyone tell me what the complete list if for this deck? I'm planning to use the many extra cards I will be gathering to build several cheap decks to introduce new players, Bermuda being one of them.
