Whats frustrating is how close they release these amazing, high demanding sets right next to another. ESPECIALLY around the holidays. Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evolutions being back to back? And near christmas? Sucks. And now I have to miss out completely because Scalpers are gobbling this stuff up. 😢
The only thing I’d recommend is to stay up to date and try to only buy pokemon products during the pre order phase. You’ll get things at good prices and many many big chains and smaller local card shops will also have those pre order deals. I’ve personally decided this will be the way I approach buying pokemon products moving forward
Booster Bundles have got to be my favorite product by far. Scratches that pack cracking itch, and for ~$25 the lows don't feel too bad, but the hits feel unbelievable. Grabbed 2 Paldean Fates and Paradox Rift Booster Bundles, and while 1 bundle from each set was weak, the other bundles ended up having the Charizard ex SIR and the Groudon IR, respectively.
Opened a booster bundle today, got 1 ace spec, 1 ir, and 2 ex. I thought I was lucky considering all the people complaining about the abysmal pull rates, but this rip was just insane!
Any opinion on what you should do as a store owner if you over sold on preorders? Is it possible to keep an order on hold and deliver later when allocation allows you to do so?
I definitely wouldn't do that because you're gonna lose your consumer. People preorder to guarantee they get their stuff on or before official release depending on who they order from. Pushing back or canceling orders is a big no no when selling. Some friendly advice is don't sell until you get your allocations confirmed
I wish your Shopify store was more up to date so I can get a pulse of your LGS pricing and just buy direct. I’ve checked out your WhatNot store but majority of products (sleeved boosters, bundles, etc) are over market price. I’m guessing cause of higher whatnot seller fees? Idk I love your content and want to support but don’t want to over pay on WhatNot
I pulled that pikachu rainbow and an exeggutor rainbow and milotic ex from my first booster bundle. opened up the second one i bought and had an exeggutor rainbow and a gravity mountain gold card.
Brick and mortars were allowed to start selling November 4. Streamers either have connections with people/stores or have access to distributors to get the stuff early.
Here in Norway it costs 180$ 🥵. I managed to pre-order some when it was around 169$. I was thinking keep one for myself and selling the other box in the future.
But opening 6 booster bundles does not equate to anything. You can't say they are better or worse based on that small amount and once you open enough everything pretty much evens out.
yeah it's all anecdotal - the one time they got a loaded bundle influences their thinking from now on when in reality almost all products end up with similar pull rates
I got a flamingo and an ace spec for 60 bucks 😅. Etbs not much better. Set has been rough to me. My least favorite S&V or maybe just bought into the hype
Pack opening starts at 6:07

Shut up crying about it dry begging boo hoo. Be early next time. Been preorders up for 2 months it’s your own fault
They always do new expansions every 2-ish months though, they've followed this same release pattern for years

MSRP is irrelevant in this hobby, the market dictates the price.
I completely agree. Unfortunately for me and my nephew the hobby is getting too expensive.

Opened 2 bundles today and 1 hit - kecleon. My booster box preorder comes in tomorrow so I hope the hits are in that

Good thing I went to my local tcg shop, booster boxes were $120 cash $125 credit/debit
You say MSRP in all your videos, but what does it mean? What is it short for
Manufacturer suggested retail price
Mines were about 103 each at gamestop with my pro membership.
I bought 4 and not a single major hit. Best I got was 2 latios ex
If it comes out on November 8, how are the streamers getting them early?

Depends where your at, I seen surging sparks at the target I went to on the 7th,
I got the Gold Pika

Nice video man thanks. Just getting back into the hobby for the kids
sold out everywhere lol just ordered one from TCG today
Just got lucky and found a booster bundle at Walmart today, but of course no hits, well except another tatsugiri ex😂
In germany we have still a good price for about 125€... what is going on oversea!
What does SIRs and Ace Specs mean? Congratulations on the pikachu though! That’s the one I’m hiking to pull. He’s so cute. Or the other art.
SIR = special illustration rare.
Ace Specs are new powerful cards for the actual tcg pokemon game. Each deck can only have 1 Ace Spec.
I won't be opening this set unless it comes back down to 3ish a pack.
@@TimBCampbell2 shops are selling for 3.50 just gotta find the right ones
