My favorite thing about these nostolgic packs is that EVERY card is a prize. I feel like since i'm not really watching the show like i used to, every card from these older packs was something I wanted to frame. I feel like in modern yugioh, it's a whole box opening in hopes of only just a few cards.
Korean print 15AX-KRY07 has the original Blue Eyes artwork with prismatic effect for much lower cost than DDS. And with the Korean text looks arguably more iconic. (Dont tell Sam or he'll buy them all out of circulation)
I really think this product is only worth opening for the nostalgia. It’s a very bad ratio between what you pay and what you get. Old ratios mean very little foils and then they are looking so much different from the OG printings
@@Jackie_Tan95 if you go through retail 31 and right now on presell I’ve seen 24.99 so if your thinking about it i recommend buying right now on the pre sell
i know back in the day on New Years eve my older bro give me $20 or so to go to 7-11 near my parents place so i buy a LOB pack & got head of Exoda was best pull back in 2002 to 2003 when the set was out
The reason i can’t get back into tcg is the fact that i feel they’re just selling me trash. Why would i want so many repeated cards and what are you supposed to do with so many regular egyptian gods, dark magicians and dragons? Everytime i try to find a reason to buy something there’s this feeling of getting scammed
I started playing the year it came to the US. And I played for 5 years after until my senior year of HS. Got back into because of masterduel and had to crash course myself on the rules of XYZ Syncro and Link summons (I bought LoaD on switch and played the campaign to learn). Sam started following you a few months back, and I really enjoy your stuff, man, and your respect and love for the classic side of the game. Was cool seeing you pull cards that are irrelevant now, but back in the day, they would be used as sets in decks. Very cool video. 🤘
Imagine growing up when the game came out like me... you only got one rare per pack and you never knew what your were going to get. It made getting a ultra rare / secret rare that much more valuable to you. You expected nothing, so when you got something it was awesome. I bought 3 boxes, pulled Chaos Emperor Dragon, Tri-Horned Dragon, Gia the Dragon Champion, and some pretty good utras and supers. Rarity these days has been spoiled in my view. This was the reality back then, and not many people knew about the Hobby Boxes and Retail Boxes had different secret rares in them. Either you got mad lucky, or you pulled what you pulled here in the video.
Konami getting away with going back to old rates is ridiculous. Other then the ultras and one quarter century secret rare (which they went with trash arts for other then the gods) these really aren't gonna be worth getting...
I am loving the 25th Anniversary Edition! I love all the Paraesmatic cards but my most favorite is The Winged Dragon of Ra, it looks so cool and so powerful! I just joined the whatnot and I can't wait for tomorrow and I'll be there on the 21st of April.
Gotta agree with the print quality/difference.. these printing companies don't use the same method, obviously, they are more set up to print all the flashy, textured and unique holo rarities. Making it when they go to print OG sets they don't have that same appeal, feel or smell
Got a box of the 25 anniversary, and I pulled Chaos Emperor Dragon and I screamed. Of course I could never pull it as a kid but I pulled it for the 25th. Great video as always and have a great day brotha!
love the 25th Anniversary products but as Sam said, it feels different with old-school packs. Maybe because of the watermark, it's not Kazuki Takahashi anymore.
I really used to love Yugioh big time, but I don’t understand the game anymore, syncros, links, when I play online the turns last forever and the effects are very strange. I have amazing memories of old yugioh
I dont think ''new players'' want to feel nostalgia, they want to enjoy the game meaning having the possibility to compete against other players, not to get no-effect cards. Also, 4 mins of ads, oh boi
I wish they changed it up a little with the packs in this Legendary Collection. How cool would it be if they put Magician's Force or Legacy of Darkness in there?
I have a challenge for you Sam! 1. Create a new account on Master Duels 2. Open 10 packs from 5 different pack themes (50 packs total) 3. Build a strong deck using the cards you got from these packs only 4. Win a duel with this deck Good luck!
I guess no one is talking about that the stars for the monsters and the logo for trap cards and magic cards are holographic that’s why is different and be easy distinguish from the old school cards!!!!!!
I'll admit that it's nice that we are getting budget starlight rares, but I don't think buying a box of this is worth it even if it contains old school packs (with old school ratios). Still better off buying singles in my opinion. I think OCG still wins over the TCG cause even though the TCG starlights look nice, the OCG still went through the trouble of including sleeves and a plaque to display the god card, which the TCG didn't really bother doing.
It would've been so much better if they used the original art for Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, and Dark Magician. Idk why Konami insists on using the crappy stone tablet art when there are so many better choices (do they only want Dark Duel Stories Dark Magician and Blue Eyes to be prismatic rare with original art to keep its crazy value)?
It'd be entertaining to see you make a deck with the cards you pulled today and duel someone else who opened their own packs. It'd be crazy to see you use that special Blue eyes card in that duel
You just need the slifer to complete the set Sam all different cards for quarter century that's really good out of 5 going 5 for 5 for variety just need the one for the full set. Keep up the awesome content man.

Too bad the prismatic Blue Eyes isn't the original Blue Eyes print which was far more iconic
the original blue eyes is in the legend of the blue eyes, the one ur saying is the anime version which is not original
Korean print 15AX-KRY07 has the original Blue Eyes artwork with prismatic effect for much lower cost than DDS. And with the Korean text looks arguably more iconic. (Dont tell Sam or he'll buy them all out of circulation)
I always hated that artwork bc who cares about the stone tablet.
@Gohan Lopez same bro, I wish I could afford playsets of DDS-001 like TSX1
@@jaybeecaranza9471 he is talking about the Starter Deck Kaiba, hence he says "print"
I don't even care about the old pack re-prints, I'm just here for the budget starlights.
Same here!!!!!
They look really gopd, but unfortunately not playable
Fr starlights are obtainable now🫡🫡
Same here
Same😅

How much is it?

@@simplyfig3942 thank you I’ll have to get it now
Im really sad that these cards are not printed in the Old Frame.
I love watching the old packs being open again so nostalgic❤
He asked so many times if i know what he's saying, that now i'm not sure if i know, you know what im saying? 🥴
I’m excited for this release. It really takes me back to simpler times.

Oohh man, I'm lovin' this anniversary. I can't wait to get these products myself.
How about a red eyes dark dragoon deck box?! I bet that would look sweet.
I'm with you in this, although the card is basically shut off in most formats I still believe it's one of the best Red Eyes boss monsters
Not a red eyes boss monster, it's a dark magician boss monster. Hence why dark magician is mandatory for the fusion and red eyes is not.😊
Every time I see Thunder Dragon now I here Rhymestyle’s voice doing his bit on thunder dragon when he summons it😂
Rhyme is a very shady individual. I would be cautious when watching his content and interacting with his channel.
Bro had me flabbergasted when he was using a flat head to open it

Skimpy on the holos with these. I miss the yugis world and joeys world box sets, amazing sets
I remember buying these boxes when they first came out....25 years ago....yup i',m old! I still have the original Exodia cards put away.
The least Konami could do is upgrade the old card text to make it more coherent.
I absolutely love this set. Having these prismatic rares would be amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these
Some of the Prismatic cards Attributes from the 25th anniversary boxes are in different languages on English cards

Bruh, I pulled a Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon from a box I received as a gift. Talk about Heart of the Cards.
That deck box is gorgeous! Wish I could collect them all 😅
I'd buy one if they didn't plaster their logo on everything. Completely ruins the vibe

I don't like it that konami printed the unplayable cards as starlights. the playable cards would have been nicer....
Nice to finally see you open this sam!! Your video is the one ive been waiting on 😅

Goat format duels are gonna be awesome again! Lol
They couldn’t have put a lesser effort into these legacy packs, imagine they put starlights or ultis in them..
Where did you get those cases for the Japanese prismatic gods!? 20:26
"without any further ado, let's get started" -goes into an ad read lmfao
i really hope like Mavens that they sell these in stores since my local TCG stores mostly just focus on Magic/Pokemon :/
The field center & the whole divider & deck box looks clean especially the play mat as well
YU GI OH 5DS 1:55
The first pack of the first box I got , I pulled a barrel dragon, I was pretty happy about it
I pulled one called Dimension Fusion. My brother was freaking out cause he says it’s a banned card
International Queen Archfiend 😂
I wish they went back to the 2002 style with the cards for this set cause it doesn't feel as nostalgic without the old design
love the 25th Anniversary products but as Sam said, it feels different with old-school packs. Maybe because of the watermark, it's not Kazuki Takahashi anymore.
The casual collector's dream and the higher end collector's nightmare 25th anniversary release.
For anyone coming in late, the video starts at 5:00
I really used to love Yugioh big time, but I don’t understand the game anymore, syncros, links, when I play online the turns last forever and the effects are very strange.
I have amazing memories of old yugioh
I have a question for you if Hamon, lord of striking thunder were to fight the five-headed dragon which one would win the fight
bro he's saing literally " without further do" and drops directly behind that an Ad jesus christ. however good video
Wish they used the original arts of the DM RE BE for the starlights and the god cards being playable would’ve been even better
Video start’s from 4:55
Fun fact:. Lob 1.Edition in German was in 2002. So for us Germany it's kind of a 21 years anniversary xD
20:39 can anyone tell me what that display or frame or whatever it is called is
Please make sure the field center is in the boxes cause the last 2 deck boxes I got form you didn’t have it inside
I dont think ''new players'' want to feel nostalgia, they want to enjoy the game meaning having the possibility to compete against other players, not to get no-effect cards.
Also, 4 mins of ads, oh boi
I wish they changed it up a little with the packs in this Legendary Collection. How cool would it be if they put Magician's Force or Legacy of Darkness in there?
Sam, what the flip, you got me trippin with 2 minutes of whatnot 😅
How does whatnot work for Canadian buyers? Shipping and prices (are they default in usd?)
That LV bracelet looking beautiful king
Sam don't be upset! Your pulls were gonna go this way, that's how they do it to keep you buying more. You got staples and good stuff!
Fitting my locals is having its monthly GOAT tournament this Friday 🤔
That why to make ppl buy this
@@peteryanes3413 I mean I need a delinquent duo out of spell ruler 😂
can you use the god cards in a deck they have no effects well atleast not slyfer and ra
Damn, to get 5 different prismatics is pretty dope man
Hey Sam, will you ever bring back the Dark Magician Girl combo boxes? I missed the second one that came out on February :(
Quarter century is nice tbh
Love the Fieldcenter 😍 And the Deckbox also, its like yugis sarcophagus box 😍
when will the deck box be available again? i see there sold out😢. it it possible to find one ?
Shout out to Brazil bcause Konami flipng hate ours asses over here 😂
Didnt they say it was a new rarity that they call the Quarter Century Rare?
When do they actually go on sale? Everywhere still says pre order
Hey Sam. You gonna do some Vernusylph game play too?
Is this the set that introduces the Quarter of a Century Rares, or is that coming later in the year?
Can't wait for people to call it QOC rares😂
I have a challenge for you Sam!
1. Create a new account on Master Duels
2. Open 10 packs from 5 different pack themes (50 packs total)
3. Build a strong deck using the cards you got from these packs only
4. Win a duel with this deck
Good luck!
very sad the smell isnt the same :( That smell brings back so many memories
"without furth ado, let's begin!!!" ... Starts a 3 minute plug 🌝😂 that's nice
I actually pulled a BEWD from the LoB booster pack in the one box I bought yesterday
I guess no one is talking about that the stars for the monsters and the logo for trap cards and magic cards are holographic that’s why is different and be easy distinguish from the old school cards!!!!!!

Dang it I missed out on the gold box. Will there be more of this?
Hey Sam, just wanted to say you're looking great. Keep up the hard work man 🔥
I wanna start collecting cards. What a good website to order from?
My Winged Dragon of Ra 25th anniversary edition came with a missprint does that gives him less or more value?
Says without further ado.. proceeds with 5 mins of ads before opening 😂
What are your thoughts of the maze of memories packs?
is the set code the same? like the cards from spell ruler thing have mrl or srl or whatever or was it changed to the anniversary set name?
It would've been so much better if they used the original art for Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, and Dark Magician. Idk why Konami insists on using the crappy stone tablet art when there are so many better choices (do they only want Dark Duel Stories Dark Magician and Blue Eyes to be prismatic rare with original art to keep its crazy value)?
Where did you get those slabs for the Japanese gods?
It'd be entertaining to see you make a deck with the cards you pulled today and duel someone else who opened their own packs. It'd be crazy to see you use that special Blue eyes card in that duel
They made the attribute holo unlike the OG cards.. takes away from the nostalgia for me.
Say Sam how can I get one of those deck boxes now?
You always say "without any further to do" and you always give us 2+ minutes of sponsors and other stuff. :/
You just need the slifer to complete the set Sam all different cards for quarter century that's really good out of 5 going 5 for 5 for variety just need the one for the full set. Keep up the awesome content man.
God collect plaques are just unmatched
Yea I have no idea what your say. You know what I’m saying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
are these packs considered orginal? They have the same code but they look different from the orginal
Their layout r from speed duels rip,also brighter and diff foiling even the writing is a bit dif
Nah theyre reprints. Old cards in modern print. Unlimited.
No, it has the EU before its number
Do you think these new rarity cards will be worth anything? given they have that 25th edition logo on them and all...unless they get reprinted lmao
Loving the content Sam, I also love sniffing cards on opening haha.
Ra looks amazing in that rarity.
dudeee when’s the next playmat i’m pissed i missed the duel night one 😭😭😭
4:55 for anyone that wants to skip to the actual opening
thanks
Hey I have a question, what if I had some cards from 1996 that someone gave me? How do I find out what cards are worth anything
Every pack sam sniffs he gets 500 points added to his life points
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah, if you could just get those deck boxes restocked; that'd be greeeeeeat.
I'd check your quarter century rare cards bud, a lot of people have been getting misprints including myself, look at the attribute in particular 👍
Definitely won't be buying this box with Cyberstorm on the horizon but man I love the nostalgia these cards bring
