2005 Japanese Pokemon Bandai Zukan Full Set Informaiton ~ Retail Release & Vending

Likely the most complicated set with a massive 529 cards for the master set, this inclues all adventure/puzzle picture cards, movie cards, main set cards with variants.

This set was distributed with a retail release of 15 mini boxes much like the set before. If you were to open one of each of these boxes you would have a complete main set including the movie art cards (The movie cards were printed in holo for this set) 420 cards total. There were two vending boxes released for this set. an upper and lower half featuring the 90 variants cards from the main set, adventure cards and some duplicates from the retail release.
The main reason this set is so complicated is because there were no setlists for the retail release. We have worked out which cards come from which means of distribution, but knowing which cards are in which boxes is impossible unless you have watched an opening. We have opened a handful of the boxes and will share setlists of the cards we are aware of below.
We are introduced to a new holo finish in this set, some of the cards have a prism like finish similar to other bandai sets holo foils such as the Anime Collection. This is the only Zukan set where said finish is used. this makes these cards quite easily identifiable. This finish is called a rainbow finish and came in both the retail and vending boxes. The regular holo finish was exclusive to the vending in this set.

Please see photographed below images of the retail release boxes and display box.

When looking into the vending the release was much the same as other sets. It consisted of two small white boxes with the cards wrapped into little bundles surrounded by a white paper band and distibuted via Japanese vending machines.
Below I have photographed the upper and lower box set lists. The upper being the black setlist and the lower being the blue. As you can see a lot of cards are missing from the main set over these two lists, all of those found in the retail release boxes. 

As pictured on the reverse of each setlist there was one advnture card/puzzle piece card collection in each box. The pokepark featuring in the upper and the lucario movie in the lower.

There were no rares in this set only non holos and the two holo finishes we have explained above.

Variants Explained ~ This list is all of the variant cards that came from the vending boxes. As stated above one copy of every card is avaliable from the retail release bar the adventure cards so it does contain a full main set. The master set is obtained by collecting the variants of those cards and adventure cards only found in the vending. 
The cards that are non holo in both have the same number but slightly different artwork.

There were special pair cards added to the end of this set numbered 398 - 405 avaliable in the upper half of the vending and distributed in the retail also all of these were non holo.

.

The Adventure cards/Puzzle cards ran through this sets in the same fashion as the previous sets. This time incuding amazing Pokepark artwork on 9 of the cards. (Again these were only available in the Vending Release)

There was also a special extra adventure card added to the upper deck as seen photographed below. It has no number but does feature on the setlist.

In the retail release as mentioned above we had the return of the movie cards! This time with that stunning rainbow holo finish. Most of these cards featured in the 2004 set but they did swap a couple out so please bare in mind there will not be a non holo version of the two cards pictured below. (The exception being the unnumbered adventure card featuring the mew artwork, this does have a different back though.)

We have now photgraphed every card in the set, they are posted below.

 

Photographed below are the reverses of the Movie Art Cards and then the Picture Puzzle/Adventure Cards.
