I’m a teen. This fucking sucks. Same exact thing happened in ~2020 with the release of champions path with people buying out EVERYTHING and making it worse for the majority. As SOON as I get back into the hobby, it starts kicking up again. I can’t fight against all the adults dropping thousands of dollars to open stolen pokemon card packs.
Man, you’re right. It sucks. I’m sorry dude, but don’t lose hope. This will eventually pass. Try your best to be patient and just watch everyone else blow their money lol.
hit rates have been so remarkably consistent at about 1 in 3 packs since S&V base that it's hard to believe they wouldn't be in that neighborhood for this set too. Not to mention that the last 2 year end (or year beginning) special sets had hit rates of about 1 in every 2 packs.
Another thing I do is ask the streamers to hold up the hits so I can screenshot to make sure they don't switch for one with horrible centering. And I tell them that!
@@drizzho how many of those who bought in were under 18 using Mom n Dad's credit cards. This predatory crap is beyond vile. I'm not sure this dude even has a conscience to live with, in the first place. Sadley. People like this are the reason the Hobby ends up in the gutter.
Dude these prices are highway robbery…..I will never understand why people try to squeeze in and be some of the very first people to get their hands on product when we all know that those inflated prices for some of the most sought after cards drop within the first week or two of release…. So unless you’re intentionally just trying to scam people, it’s not worth paying the ridiculous prices….
i watched this guy stream for over 2 hours. i just don’t understand how it’s possible he didn’t pull a single SIR the entire stream but pulled multiple gold cards.
The fact whatnot didn't cut the stream due to illegal activity, selling product before it's street date speaks volumes to the kind of operation they are running. I truely beleive it's apps and sites like whatnot that have killed the hobby. Now don't get me wrong there are some above board legit people that use it, but it's basically Mos Eisley at this point. The most wretched hive of scum and villiany in the galaxy hang out there and prey on people.
he had to have been doing something shady. only reason why i say this is because he's not opening any product on stream, someone in the back is giving him these packs, something had to have been going on in the back whether the packs were being scanned or weighed, something just wasn't right. there is just no way this set's pull rates are that bad that not a single eeveelution was pulled after 1k packs
I know exactly what these clowns are doing. They are backdooring the product then using metal scanners to be able to detect which packs have full arts/SIR/IR and selling or streaming the junk. And gouging the junk packs to the max telling people all the stuff they can pull. It’s a total scam, and they are trapping people who don’t know. Metal scanning is the new weighing people just don’t know about it yet
I feel like he scanned the packs and sold the trashed packs to his buyer because out of 1500 packs only 2 SRI came through, thats very shady. And the facts that he did not open the etb before starting is another red flags.
Solution? Buy singles. Stop paying these overinflated prices for sealed product. You don’t need to rip sealed product. I get it. It’s the thrill of gambling but scalpers and rippers take advantage of that. I don’t know why this is such a hard thing for people to understand. You’ll spend more trying to pull the chase card you want then to buy singles. If it’s really about “costs” then buy singles. Buy the singles you want, whatever’s left over, buy other product to rip if you have the itch. Or even just buy the Japanese packs. Terrestrial evolutions is pretty “cheap” right now. Heck, for the price of a terrestrial evolutions box, you can get a major of the eeveelutions.
My stance. I'm considering considering getting the slyveon, but I was originally planning on ripping a booster box - what's the point though? If I don't pull Umbreon there's no point. It's around the same price as slyveon so it seems reasonable
@mypondd that's exactly my point. The price you are paying is usually never worth the price you can pay for singles. Again, ripping packs is fun as hell but paying these ridiculous prices is irresponsible.
I watched a good chunk of RobSinchi's opening and yes it seemed like hits were not very generous. I also watched a ton of French Poketubers open a lot and no SIR are being hit. If ETB's are being back doored I would not be surprised if we don't see a Fusion Strike kind of heist for the hits on this set and future sets.
I'll never understand why the pokemon community does this to itself. I'm still enjoying opening paradox rift packs. I can get the booster box for around 100 bucks, a pop, and vintage will always be vintage, but modern will eventually become vintage. Have fun spending 150 on ETBs
I was in this stream as well, saw the pleas for sealed product opening and in comparisons that I saw THE HITS on the ETBs were significantly different. so ya.... smells stinky. You are totally right though we can't really change anything and we are all just in this sad hole of upset watching it all unfold. The wait is worth it and honestly feels WAY better. Thanks for the video
You have both a good brain and a good heart. I applaud you for your well intentioned PSAs, but there's a lot of people out there who don't have either.
I said this yesterday too when I saw him opening live. These were 110% scanned and the scanners made a little profit from this breaker but the breaker ultimately made their money back + some + publicity.
Watch 8:12 on Island (Islandgrown pokemon) video about this!! Pack looks resealed (can see glue pull from right side, then shortly after he slides his finger down the pack and the come open to easily. Not saying he did but there is some evidence to resealed packs
Yea I've opened a lot of SV era packs, they are not that smooth to open. Dude was sliding open these packs with the greatest of ease. Even someone like Yuna who opens packs for multiple hours a night for her rip and ship isn't as fast as this dude was.
I’m concerned about the hit rates now, Surging destroyed me so was hoping Prismatic would be a bit kinder after that being a special set but now I’m not so sure! 😅
"Pulling loose packs into the stream isn't above board." The dude is literally selling products way early. Nothing about this is above board, man. But any other normal what not stream, I'd agree it's sketchy. Let's be real though this whole situation is sketchy.
You’re right. There’s absolutely no way that the pull rate on SIR’s is so low. 2 in 1,500 packs? Lol, these are not alt art VMAX cards from Sword & Shield. Simply no way.
@@texasfight210Gotcha. The sample size is so small that it doesn’t really matter. We’ll get real pull rate data when the set officially releases and this information or misinformation won’t deter me or anyone else from buying product. Thanks for the input, though.
Hello to those viewing this 10 years from now who are considering about buying a Prismatic Evolutions etb at $20,000 each: Remember to think really hard about whether or not it's worth it! Also wanted to add there is nothing Prismatic or Evolutions about this non-eevee set. Your hits will consist of 50 masterball Hoothoots and maybe 1 masterball Bronzor. AMAZING set guys, thank you Pokemon Company! Everyone asked for another Evolving Cries set and you delivered.
the hit rates are not going to be that horrible smh I guarantee before he started the stream, he weighed packs for hours and kept all of the SIRs And sold all the junk packs
0:01 I was there during that stream Watching people spend $50+ for 3 Packs, $90+ for 6 and get literally nothing was insane. People even spent $30+ on the ETB promo. One girl did manage to get the Masterball Umbreon & Gold Pikachu only after spending hundreds 1st. I hope she actually got those cards 😅
All I want is a few packs for my birthday. Financially we've had a bad year, emotionally was even worse. This is the first time in YEARS that I actually wanted something for my birthday. The day before my birthday, I need to wake up early and call the card shop and pray on my lucky stars that I'll even get my birthday present or if scalpers will get to it first.
Was it just me or did the packs he was opening not look like 10 cards and he was also only shuffling through the first three and then putting the cards down?
What's sad is I EMAILED POKEMON CENTER AND TOLD THEM THERE WOULD BE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRODUCTS STOLEN AND THEY DIDNT BELIEVE ME. JUST SO HAPPENS ITS ALWAYS THE TEXAS FACTORY THAT ITS BEING TAKEN FROM
It’s ridiculous, I got my hands A PC & regular ETB. Any other product is gonna be scarce now. I haven’t even finished evolving skies yet and the Umbreon went to $3000 last sold eBay psa10. Raw it’s $1400. With prismatic, I won’t be able to finish any of them. I’ll have to buy singles.
I watched a streamer on TikTok yesterday do the same thing he was selling packs for $20 he also said he had about 100 ETBs and opened them all off camera. From the time I watched he got nothing. I also recorded it.
I’ve been a Pokémon collector long enough to know that these will be on store shelves eventually. These young bloods buy into the hype that this will be released and never seen again 😅
I think Pokémon should go after whatnot so whatnot can crack down on these shenanigans. People are crazy to think you should buy $20 loose packs from a random whatnot seller.
Rob is legit as they come, was debunked and shown through all the other streamers opening now how extremely hard it is to get hits! And now he’s one of the first if not first to open a God pack!!
You cannot weigh modern packs, even in your own video, a light pack can have an SIR still that you would miss if you only kept the heavy for yourself. And in the heavy, yes it can be a “double hit” but those two “hits” can be worth 3$ total and you gave away a light pack with a chase SIR in it lol. It’s not as reliable as vintage weighing.
Just dropping in to say I willl be there person clearing target shelves and selling for triple. Couldn’t do it if there weren’t willing buyersssssss. Xoxoxoxo
What's worrying is how mapable the japanese set was and i wonder if that was the case here too. They proved you could guess where the hit was by the placement of an ace or something like that so i wonder if there's something similar in the English version.
It is not true that he only pulled 2 SIRs. People got all upset because those 2 were the only ones featuring Eevee or its evolutions, even though you shouldn't expect more than 2-3 out of 15 pulls to be an eeveelution or Eevee. From what I heard, he pulled 15 SIRs from the ~995 packs he opened. That makes it about 1/67 SIR hit rate, which is average for the last year or so of the SV era. The set has got an excruciatingly terrible SIR rate for a set without IRs and it'll likely be considered the worst set in the SV era to crack open as a result of it. This is of course assuming that he did not tamper with the hit rate.
People are making a lot of assumptions about this seller with no basis at all. Just because he sold them early doesn’t mean that they’re stolen or that he’s ripping people off. All of your preorders are paid for and received by your sellers before the release date. The only difference here is that he’s opening the cards for you to be shipped once we reach the release date. That being said, it looks like this set will be best kept sealed until you really like to gamble. Also guys, this is going to be printed like crazy so just be patient. Pokemon wants to make a bunch of money on this set so they will keep printing it. Stay calm Y’all!
😂 This reminds me of when I first got into the hobby, I bought 5 packs of japanese 151 for 100 dollars and got a golem ex 😅 not even the full art. Some of us learn the hard way.
Sv packs the weight means nothing. I’ve weighed 151, surging sparks, obsidian flames, and stellar crown. Weighed in grains for a more accurate measurement. Hits pulled from light, regular, and heavy packs. The only noticeable difference was that light packs didn’t contain regular trainer cards, ever. Not one regular trainer card was pulled from a light pack. This is off of weighing roughly 100 packs from each set. Obsidian flames charizard ex SIR and Pidgey IR both from light packs. Stellar crown Terapagos ex SIR from a light pack. Surging sparks Alolan exeggutor ex SIR from a heavy pack. 151 venusaur ex SIR from an average weight pack. Were hit rates any different… well based off of typically having only 3 light packs per 36 packs and around 8 heavy packs per 36 I would say the hit rates are virtually the same or maybe in favor of the lighter packs but not enough to call it a cheat. The sv sets are really good as far as being scam proofed now with guaranteed holos and virtually being weight irrelevant. Do with this information what you will but claiming you can increase hit rates by weighing packs is totally false.
I watched Rob rob folks on this stream, and it infuriated me. Not only for the shadiness of the whole thing, but people actually giving in to the insanity. To each their own, I guess. 🤷♀️
So a guy who doesn't have a brick and motor or an online shop managed to get this much? Just how? Not sure if you've covered (kind of skip a bit) it but this is shady asf.
I saw the stream. When he opened a ETB is where the hits happened. People who opened the single packs didn’t get anything bro 😭 and he didn’t wanna open any ETBs
In my opinion anyone who is willing to sell and open product early like this is also fully willing to scam their entire customer base for a quick profit. IMO if you are buying from any of those sellers they're not legit, you're getting scammed 100%, and I'll wait for release to buy from reputable sellers.
I’ve found packs in stores up to 2 weeks early several times, most recent was paldea evolved. Even made a video. So yea, I’ve opened up packs early, but I’ve never sold them people for $20 a pack. Get a grip.
Correct me if im wrong, but the English pull rates are always lower then Japanese pull rates. That being said, 1500 packs or whatever amd no decent hits. Im not buying that. There is no way the pull rates are that bad. I guess we'll find out in a few days.
The worst part is once the set is release. Scalpers are gonna take any booster pack, and ETB when they restock in retail. Killing the hobby for people that actually wanna play with them or collect them.
This hobby may have adults trying to relive their childhood, but we also forget that there are adults who have families with children who love Pokémon. This is also making it so hard for parents to continue this hobby with their kids thus also ruining it for the next generation. It’s been so disheartening having our order pushed back when we pre ordered only 1 ETB the 4 days after they were launched in November. Like this is so sad
I hate this. Ive watched Rob for six months. Bought from him over and over again and this stream was no different than any other early release stream he's done. People are just mad that's it early and mad he's selling for $20 a pack. The chat controls the prices. People are coming up with excuses because they cannot believe what their eyes are telling them. There was no problem when opening Stellar Crown and no one said a word. But now because its the hyped Eevee set, everyone has a problem. Its just sad that people are like this and there's videos like this that are pushing that negative narrative.
I am one of many people that opened live stream packs for both super electric and terastal festival Japanese and I got 2 big hitters the fruit basket eevee sar and the hydreigon sar. I could be wrong but I think they lower the pull rates a whole lot specifically for the American versions. Because Korean and jp seems to most give me pulls.
Pokemon has a huge distribution problem. Highlighted here by a guy getting hundreds when most stores can't get 10
Ding ding ding
True. a lot of venders are afraid of hostile customers, I don't blame them.
Ir your store is lying and only claiming to get ten to sell on the second market
funny how Japan can distribute theirs without issue to everyone in the world where as the global version struggle with it lol

Similar to when you purchased stolen items, huh 😅

The way those packs opened so easily is sus enough for me to go "nah, I'm good off whatnot"
He could open packs earlier and reseal them with glue or something and open them later again online from the oposite side.
Playback the clips with slow motion mode and you can easily see the packs were resealed!!
i watched this guy stream for over 2 hours. i just don’t understand how it’s possible he didn’t pull a single SIR the entire stream but pulled multiple gold cards.
Weighed them... Yes, there is an advantage by doing so.
@ i believe they are tampered with as well, i can’t imagine this set having worse pull rates than surging sparks

Pokemon companies lawyers got a busy season lol 😂
he might be offloading the left overs from cases where he already pulled the hits
Who knows.
This is the answer. Open an ETB until you get the hit, offload the rest of the packs.
I mean how do you know what are the hits?? X-rays??
@@bitconemaxionly way is weighing.

This set will be nicknamed “Problematic Evolutions”
Same, I really love the art from this set. But this is getting out of hand. It hurts to me to spend $50 on An ETB sometimes.
Feel that

From what I heard, he pulled 15 SIRs from the ~995 packs he opened. That makes it about 1/67 SIR hit rate, which is average for the last year or so of the SV era.
The set has got an excruciatingly terrible SIR rate for a set without IRs and it'll likely be considered the worst set in the SV era to crack open as a result of it. This is of course assuming that he did not tamper with the hit rate.
Like you said, “from what you heard”
That’s all I said too, from what I heard, cuase I didn’t watch a full 7 hour stream
Fair enough
People are making a lot of assumptions about this seller with no basis at all. Just because he sold them early doesn’t mean that they’re stolen or that he’s ripping people off.
All of your preorders are paid for and received by your sellers before the release date. The only difference here is that he’s opening the cards for you to be shipped once we reach the release date.
That being said, it looks like this set will be best kept sealed until you really like to gamble.
Also guys, this is going to be printed like crazy so just be patient. Pokemon wants to make a bunch of money on this set so they will keep printing it.
Stay calm Y’all!
Unless* you really like to gamble.
this feels like a therapy session xD
Hahahah
I saw some of that stream too and laughed at everyone getting 💩💩💩💩 on lmfao man 🤡🤡🤡
oh my got I love crazypokebros lol
😂 This reminds me of when I first got into the hobby, I bought 5 packs of japanese 151 for 100 dollars and got a golem ex 😅 not even the full art. Some of us learn the hard way.
Lord thst has happened to me
I'm screaming on the inside with this upcoming set stress!!!! 😅😂😅
Pokemon doesn't care about the back door. Especially when it is on social media. Free advertising
150 etbs and pulls nothing? This isnt bad pull rates, this is divine intervention saying fuck this guy in particular
LMAOOO
Sv packs the weight means nothing. I’ve weighed 151, surging sparks, obsidian flames, and stellar crown. Weighed in grains for a more accurate measurement. Hits pulled from light, regular, and heavy packs. The only noticeable difference was that light packs didn’t contain regular trainer cards, ever. Not one regular trainer card was pulled from a light pack. This is off of weighing roughly 100 packs from each set. Obsidian flames charizard ex SIR and Pidgey IR both from light packs. Stellar crown Terapagos ex SIR from a light pack. Surging sparks Alolan exeggutor ex SIR from a heavy pack. 151 venusaur ex SIR from an average weight pack. Were hit rates any different… well based off of typically having only 3 light packs per 36 packs and around 8 heavy packs per 36 I would say the hit rates are virtually the same or maybe in favor of the lighter packs but not enough to call it a cheat. The sv sets are really good as far as being scam proofed now with guaranteed holos and virtually being weight irrelevant. Do with this information what you will but claiming you can increase hit rates by weighing packs is totally false.
I watched Rob rob folks on this stream, and it infuriated me. Not only for the shadiness of the whole thing, but people actually giving in to the insanity. To each their own, I guess. 🤷♀️
So a guy who doesn't have a brick and motor or an online shop managed to get this much? Just how? Not sure if you've covered (kind of skip a bit) it but this is shady asf.
The stream was LIT! He is just trying to feed his family.
I saw the stream. When he opened a ETB is where the hits happened. People who opened the single packs didn’t get anything bro 😭 and he didn’t wanna open any ETBs
He also didn’t even give the person who bidded on the ETB the sleeves or the eevee promo.
In my opinion anyone who is willing to sell and open product early like this is also fully willing to scam their entire customer base for a quick profit. IMO if you are buying from any of those sellers they're not legit, you're getting scammed 100%, and I'll wait for release to buy from reputable sellers.
The apocalypse is amongst us
Didn’t you open up packs early back in the day? lol
Now you going to try and judge buddy 😂
What happen to your old channel ?
I’ve found packs in stores up to 2 weeks early several times, most recent was paldea evolved. Even made a video. So yea, I’ve opened up packs early, but I’ve never sold them people for $20 a pack.
Get a grip.
Correct me if im wrong, but the English pull rates are always lower then Japanese pull rates.
That being said, 1500 packs or whatever amd no decent hits. Im not buying that. There is no way the pull rates are that bad. I guess we'll find out in a few days.
The worst part is once the set is release. Scalpers are gonna take any booster pack, and ETB when they restock in retail. Killing the hobby for people that actually wanna play with them or collect them.
Nice Vid Bro!🔥 Hopefully people open their eyes and be more careful on their early purchases from scammers like the ones shown.
Thanks man!
This hobby may have adults trying to relive their childhood, but we also forget that there are adults who have families with children who love Pokémon. This is also making it so hard for parents to continue this hobby with their kids thus also ruining it for the next generation. It’s been so disheartening having our order pushed back when we pre ordered only 1 ETB the 4 days after they were launched in November. Like this is so sad
You are losing weight and looking good my boy, just wanted to acknowledge cause i know it ain’t easy!
Thank you for that!
Its basically like buying $20 lottery scratch off tickets.... People do it every day lol doesnt make it smart They lose more than they hit.
I appreciate you
Thank god, I was able to pre ordered 6 etbs from pokemon center. Opening 2 keeping 4 sealed..
Smart!
I need to know where this Streamer lives. Im gonna dumpster dive for those Eevee sleeves.
This why how that one card thief stole the whole Pokémon cards to steal from the Trading card printing company it goes the same thing.
I hate this. Ive watched Rob for six months. Bought from him over and over again and this stream was no different than any other early release stream he's done. People are just mad that's it early and mad he's selling for $20 a pack. The chat controls the prices. People are coming up with excuses because they cannot believe what their eyes are telling them. There was no problem when opening Stellar Crown and no one said a word. But now because its the hyped Eevee set, everyone has a problem. Its just sad that people are like this and there's videos like this that are pushing that negative narrative.
You’re awesome dr.applesauce 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate you!
I am one of many people that opened live stream packs for both super electric and terastal festival Japanese and I got 2 big hitters the fruit basket eevee sar and the hydreigon sar. I could be wrong but I think they lower the pull rates a whole lot specifically for the American versions. Because Korean and jp seems to most give me pulls.
people are spending 20$.a pack on it anyway. etb's are going for 150, PC etb's at 400. light work
Lets see if tomorrow is “Beautiful “ here in Texas lol
Snow is beautiful 😂😂😂
