Legacy
ICNY's experiment with "Monster and Building" boosters proved unsuccessful, and Big in Japan (the corresponding mid-set release) does not repeat it. Thusly, ICNY is the only release whose unit boosters contain only units. ICNY was also unique for the release of the "Mega Pack", containing six of the twelve Mega monster forms for the set (Laser Knight, Rakadon, Mogroth, Zorog, Phobos-7, and Zor-Voltis). This has been the only instance to date of the company simply selling the Mega monsters, rather than distributing them as promos.

In general, few of the ICNY units have made a significant impact in competitive play, compared to other sets of the game. It also appears to have been the poorest-selling set to date, judging by the frequency with which sealed product is available in large quantities on eBay and the relatively low prices it commands there. Notable exceptions are the Terrasaur Bellower, the GUARD G1 Strike Fighter, and the Lords of Cthul Corruptor, all of which have proven popular and game-changing.

ICNY monsters and buildings, conversely, have proven highly relevant to the metagame; the Crystalline Building's possession of both Spire and Blazing Inferno has made it unmatched as a source of power-attack damage up until the release of the Tokyo Triumph in Big in Japan. ICNY's monsters run the gamut from the infamously powerful (Zor-Voltis, Pteradax, Ulgoth) to the ill-respected Zorog, whose mega form is often cited as the worst in the game.
