The Lilo and Stitch Gift Box is the additional product release that came alongside Lorcana’s new set Archazia’s Island’s. Previously this product has been the Lorcana Gateway and Ursula’s Revenge co-operative game, however this one rather includes a random selection of booster packs, a storage box and a promotional card.
Booster Pack Selection
The gift box contains five Lorcana booster packs with a choice of 5 different sets: Rise of the Floodborn, Into the Inklands, Ursula’s Return, Shimmering Skies and Azurite Sea. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive one of each. The collection has a random selection of the five, so you may miss out on getting one or two of the sets. The gift box I bought had two Rise of the Floodborn, one Into the Inklands, one Ursula’s Return and one Shimmering Skies; not a bad selection but I would have preferred more of the newer sets. You cannot see the selection you are getting so it is a nice surprise when you open the box, however if you do not need a particular Lorcana set, you may get an unwanted pack. Also, the lack of Archazia’s island packs being available is questionable, as it released on the same day and seems like a missed opportunity.
Promotional Card
Fittingly, the gift box comes with a promotional card: “Lilo – Escape Artist”. This promo has a spectacular new Amber border style and a shimmering holofoil to set it apart from other promo cards released alongside the new set and was the main reason for my purchase of the gift set. The card itself has seen some play in Amber-Amethyst, or Amber-Steel decks due to its ability to return from the discard pile to your play exerted at the start of your turn. Although you have to pay for it before drawing at the start of your turn, and it enters play exerted, it is a nuisance for your opponent to have to get rid of. It can also be readied by a character like “Sven – reindeer” ready to quest on your next turn and unable to be immediately challenged and banished again. So, if you haven’t managed to pull one from Azurite Sea, or love the new artwork of the card, this gift set is perfect to add it to your collection!
Storage Box
All of the products come contained in a Lilo-and-Stitch-designed storage box. The box is an Amber colour, much like the card, and has the card design of the promo card printed on top with glittery accents and a shiny reflection. It is sturdy and built much like the Illumineer’s trove and is of a high quality and durability. The box also contains three punch-out card dividers, with one featuring, you guessed it, Lilo and Stitch, and the other two having the Amber Lorcana symbol. However, they aren’t quite as strong or as high quality as the ones included in the Illumineer’s trove as they are cardboard rather than card.
Overall Thoughts
The Lilo and Stitch Gift Box is a great product for new Illumineer’s who want to open packs of previous sets, and receive a beautiful promo card of Disney favourite’s Lilo and Stitch. I think the storage box is great quality and perfect to store a collection of your Lorcana cards, or maybe just your Amber cards! And although there is none of the new set to open in the additional packs, I’m sure there is and will be a lot of products available of the new set to get your hands on so the random selection is a change of pace and a surprise! The RRP of £25 is a great price point as it is equivalent to the packs alone, so the promo card and storage box are essentially free! So, in my opinion this is definitely a product I would recommend picking up!
