Release Dates
- July 1999 - Japanese Release
- 31st July 2001 - English Release
Trivia
- This was a very desired collection when it first came out in Japan. Fans pestered Wizards of the Coast enough and after a lot of work, they eventually released it.
- In Japan, the collection was released as 3-card box sets. These box sets focused on a particular region from one of the two Southern Islands. The English version came as a decorated folder and included the cards, postcards and 3 Booster Packs. Even though Wizards compiled the collection into one set, all of the original artwork including the islands and the full picture of each region (which was split into three to provide the card art) were featured on the folder.
- None of the cards have rarity symbols, as they are part of a fixed set. The English cards were numbered in the same fashion as Promotional cards, while the Japanese cards remained unnumbered.
- An interesting quirk about the translation is that, while in the Japanese versions, the cards have the old Base-Rocket design, the English release saw them in a Neo series design.
