Thanks for mentioning the rattling, I was afraid the one I got was fake due to the shifting and rattling going on. Almost fell to temptation and opened it.
I think they're REALLY well done and extremely cool. The only issue is that there's clear production faults since they've never done them before but hopefully they fix it so that the next collection is pristine
Thank you very much for the kind words. It's something I would like to do again but recently product has been so scarce that even getting enough to do videos and sell to the preorders has been a bit tough! At the moment I'm thinking of doing a box of Fusion Strike when it releases but still not too sure
Thanks man! I'm really happy and lucky that we managed to snag one even when everything has been slashed allocation-wise but I'm glad I was able to share this with you all
Couldn’t get one of these at retail and had to bite the bullet aftermarket. Paid €270 but I plan on adding it to my sealed collection so I doubt it will be lower than that unless you can grab one for retail. Also fairly rare to see Irish people in this space. Just found your channel randomly but I’ll be sure to keep an eye on your store in the future. Great video btw, Super chill vibe.
It is unfortunate that the price of Pokemon products is now 2-3 times the MSRP. When there is profit to be made there will be volume of people. I had to pay $350 for my UPC as there is no way I could find any in stores. Usually I would like to buy two of each product as I would open one and keep one sealed for the future me to open, but that is not going to happen this time around. Kind of wish they made products more accessible such as requiring individuals to make an order online and showing ID in store to retrieve it - that way it could help prevent the same person from grabbing all the products. Not the best method, but at least it gives collectors a chance.
People will always find a way to buy up all the stock and sell it for outrageous amounts. I do my best to spread the product around so that all my regular gets at least some allocations but with this line in particular it was very difficult
The cards inside are valued at $$350.00 - $400.00 so just for the gold cards alone that's why the box can be sold for $400+ because the value is there haha idk why that's so hard for people to understand, you also get 17 celebrations packs, and 8 packs of other sets. So 25 packs times $5.00 per pack, $125.00 In packs, $350.00 in gold cards, so idk why people think you aren't getting your moneys worth because someone beat you to the msrp price haha it's not a scalper price it is supply and demand market price for what the boxes value actually is based on the market.
Just noticed something different with your box. Every other one I've seen has 3 Chilling reign, 3 Vivid voltage, and 2 darkness abaze packs. You got battle styles!
This premium set is so cool!! Too bad its very expensive and probably its unavailable in my place. That card in 11:23, You just earned yourself another holy grail!! Keep it safe, It might cost a hundred thousand dollars in future decades like the charizard card in pawn stars (A tv show that shows a shop that buys valuable and historic items).
For sure it'll be worth a lot in the future but even now it's pretty expensive! I think it might reach extremely valuable status but for now we just play it by ear
@@TabletopTeam I've gotten 6 of them so far all at retail price! Might even pick up more. Will probably open up just one and keep the rest sealed for a few years.
I love that you're annoyed you got Gyarados, and not a Magikarp, usually it's the other way round :P You also frgot to show the amazing Pikachus you got :P Nice opening man!!
Thanks Figgy! When you open enough to create half a deck of them you get a bit triggered though :P Love Gyrados but man I need two golden Magiderps to finish the set!
Yooo gotta love the Blue space cat on the golden card 🤩 I’ve pulled one and one Zard. Just need 4 to complete the set ( Gold Karp, Garchomp, Zekrom & Tapu Lele ).. Can’t wait to get my Ultra premium box ( definitely got 2 - potentially 3, gunna keep one or 2 sealed for future ). Keep up the siikk Pokémon content man 😎
A lot of the gold cards were damaged, from seeing 5 or more RUclipsrs. , I have a pikachu and behind the card Of it the a small circl clue came off , with little dents like the one on this video, my Charizard was more better looking, I have 2 ultra boxes , 1 openeded 2nd one might keep it stashed with my pikachu vmax ( still un opened)
I'm sorry to hear yours is also banged up. As you said, a lot of people including ourselves are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to quality control issues at production level and I can somewhat understand it because it's stuff aimed at kids. However, when you spend 180 euros on a product you expect a high level of excellence so the kid argument makes no sense nor should it be tolerated since it will just continue. I really love the UPC in theory honestly. It has high end quality, some of the best promos that out perform the Japanese release and the price-point is bang-on. But given the shortage despite knowing in advance that people would inhale these, quality control and scalping I think it was horribly executed. I want them to continue making products like these but I want them to be better at getting it to the people and making sure there's a team being anal about the quality because Celebrations has been the best set they have ever made. No joke. It's sad that this product in particular was mismanaged.
@@TabletopTeam %100 agree , Pokémon should work on their printings more better , I’m sure Pokémon fans and collectors like us , expect everything to look un damaged . Just in case if that item value goes up , by it looking all new , it helps you a lot . Just today I seen a guy a made a video about the gold cards from the ultra box . He made a video about how got them PSA graded . He had 5 of each . ( Charizard, pikachu artt) all came back in grade 8,9s only , no 10s Some had a circle bump or the edges scuff , so I’m glad we’re not the only ones haha with that situation, the value should be even for everyone on those cards , if whoever’ gets them graded . I honestly think the Japanese version are so much detailed and better, I hope one Day , i get my hands on those .
Wow that set looks amazing. Where can I buy it? If you get any for sale I've the cash ready. Kids would love this for Xmas and have no cards from this set yet. Another great video by the way. Edit. Never mind just watched it and heard scalpers will buy them all up. Guess I may find them some smaller sets.
Thanks Ian! For us anyway we sold out months ago to preorder but Smyths are doing random drops of them so I hear. They only last a few minutes though so it's really hard to find the timing of it. I wish you good luck in getting some for Xmas!
@@leonardhofstadter2302 what times do they usually update the website with drops? And are you better going In store of a morning or waiting for a page refresh?
It probably will in future but not by Christmas. There's another wave coming relatively soon so prices will stay at 300 for now but after that it will steady climb
Can't tell which was cuter 😍 your cat or your humble opening of this product. Great work and great video!
Thanks so much jazzy! I'll pass on the compliments to my co-host along with a treat in your honor
why is this so wholesome and professional?? xD its so fun to watch!!
Cheers! In regards our professionalism its because Tuna demands that we do everything formally
Thanks for mentioning the rattling, I was afraid the one I got was fake due to the shifting and rattling going on. Almost fell to temptation and opened it.
i just LOVE these metal cards. already have some at home but that pikachu just took my heart.
I think they're REALLY well done and extremely cool. The only issue is that there's clear production faults since they've never done them before but hopefully they fix it so that the next collection is pristine
Solid content, look forward to more of your videos man
Sorry for the late reply but thank you so much for the kind words :)
Will you be doing livestreams again? Your openings are the nicest to watch here in my experience on this platform, well done trent.

@@TabletopTeam Yes you fucking well will, and i'll be there for it too!
Like a 3k special ;) Have fun!
I also got the Charizard from the Pikachu collection!
Well done man! Here's hoping I can get another Zard before things dry up
We need more funny breakers like you. Subscribed!
Thank you for the sub! If I can't be handsome I might as well be funny :'D
I immediately pressed the video when I saw the cat. Good way to trap and attract people to your video😏
Tuna welcomes you to the team :D
How did u end up displaying the metal cards?
Yay he got a premium collection box I love ur openings
Thanks man! I'm really happy and lucky that we managed to snag one even when everything has been slashed allocation-wise but I'm glad I was able to share this with you all
I am watching haha that stupid electric mouse strikes again and again. Say hi to tuna for me. Great video
I passed on your sentiments and am working on a giant electric mouse page in my Celebrations binder ;)

Its because they know I hate battle styles 🤣

H has left the CAT
Another great video
Thanks LC! 😊
Are you going to make the ' is it worth buying' video for the secret lairs for mtg?
For sure! Just caught up with Celebrations this month so haven't had any free time at all

@@cali2912 it's pretty random. Can be first thing in the morning, 3pm in the dsy, or even 1.30 at night like last night.
Trent and faulty camera footage. Can you name a better duo?
Nice UPC you got there :)
Oh oh expensive cards and no sleeves?! Or WhatsApp recordings and muted audio?! The possibilities are endless
The short answer is Yes.
For sure! I did what I could to circulate as much as possible in the community but everywhere it seems to be just instantly bought out then resold
RIP on that dent...
The prices for these boxes online are crazy! Where do these pop up?
Big stores, little stores and online shops. Very hard to get a hold of them though
They saying will hit a grand by December lol
It probably will in future but not by Christmas. There's another wave coming relatively soon so prices will stay at 300 for now but after that it will steady climb
@@TabletopTeam many distributors are saying it wont be produced anymore
😂😂😂
Good content but you say some really cringy things ,
“I don’t believe in Christ” 🤷🏽♂️
Super random
I strive to be super cringey :D
