I am so hyped to see this opening! Its so much more hype seeing these old cards because I to this day am a huge retro nerd for Dark Duel Stories, Forbidden Memories and all the Series 1 format cards!
Haha thank you man, I really appreciate it! Your videos are a huge reason why I got back into the hobby and your channel has been a big inspiration! Looking forward to seeing your video when it comes out! 😁
Konami also released the Exodia Head series 1 in the Premium Pack 2024 retail. I hope this helps. I'm currently doing my research to determine if it's an error
Really loved the history you included in this - lots of small details I never knew! Would you mind sharing where you picked up the Exodia limb singles? I've been having a hard time locating them.
Glad you enjoyed :) I picked mine up on eBay from a Japanese seller "midorigame". If you search something like "Left arm terminal world" it should come up :)
Konami Japan really care about YGO and making good products. Western Konami seem to hate the game and do everything half assed and begrudgingly. I get that this is a part of Japan's YGO history so we are never likely to see these sets here. But some of these cards are impossible to find in English at a sensible price because they were TP cards. Re-releasing them, even in Speed Duel format, would be good. But even Speed Duels has been cancelled in Europe.
Yeah it’s a real shame that YuGiOh worldwide doesn’t get the same support that it does in Japan. I even went to a restaurant that had a YuGiOh collaboration event going on last year in Tokyo, sadly I don’t think we will ever see anything like that again in the Western world.
Konami actually released Exodia's Head series 1 in the Premium Pack 2024 retail. It's weird that they didn't initially add this card in the Jump Festa version last December
Love the informational tidbits! Any advice on where you found your 4 copies of the reprinted limbs recently? I'm looking for those same reprints in pack fresh condition
It's not old. The first set is old AF. But this is a reprint. Still very much worth it. I got the series one exodia and qcr meteor black dragon in my first box. It's a 1-24 chance of pulling it.
Man, I am planning on buying the limbs as singles, and a box of premium pack, for Exodia, but I didn’t know that there were multiple rarities. Imma still try tho
I actually make those soft plastic protectors myself. I can make a video showing how to do it, but basically you will need a vinyl/cutting plotter and some PET sheets.
Hey man, a booster box does for around $50 right now in Japan. It'll be a bit more now if you're not in Japan and depending on which reseller you are going through :) Definitely worth getting a box to open, even if just for fun, it's a great set!
@ No problem man. I’m no sure off the top of my head, but the sealed starter boxes were going for around $50 so they would be cheaper than that I would imagine.
@@TheShadowRealm824 thank you so much. The truth is I see a lot of price disparity on eBay for these products from Japan and I want to buy them without incurring an excessive extra cost and I don't even have clear references. thanks again! :)
....oh dang..I think I have a set like that laying around in my house rn, and only god knows where 🤯 idk if it looks EXACTLY like this one, buts its in Japanese like this with the same art. 🤦♂️ I put them in some kind of bucket I used for pencils n stuff, last time I ever saw that set of exodia
The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Secret Rare was the first place prize card at the original Tokyo Dome Tournament, it was not in the original 1999 Premium Pack. That’s another one of the reasons why this new reprint is so cool :)

Awesome video buddy. Very informative and a nice opening with a last pack magic ✨ keep up your work brother ❤
Thank you so much 😁
Hearing that this game is 25 years makes me feel ancient.
Haha all us late 80s / early 90s babies feeling the same 🥲

Something about that Trihorn in serious one is so good. I’m obsessed
At 4:54 there is also a very major difference in the color of the strips on the "neck"?
Very minor, I think that is just from how the photo / scan of the card was taken. In person they are very close.

Ah yep you’re right, the retail Premium Pack did come out a lot earlier :)

Hey, I got mine off eBay from some Japanese sellers :) There are a few big, reputable ones that will send cards safely 👍
We need Konami to go back to those early 2000s era when they had these awesome games with great monster animations and the alightament system
That was definitely the golden era!
i have this set!! so amazeing to be able to own such a peace of history .-. surprise its not even THAT expencive in ocg dispite being so old...
Heh that’s awesome 😄 Yeah I’m really surprised it’s not more expensive!

Not hard at all. I also got very lucky

Yeah that’s the best way to do it, good luck!
nice video bro
My very first box, i got the exodia and the qcr meteor black dragon
@@JustinViolette-m8o that’s nuts bro, big congrats!
Cheers! thanks for the video man
Can you tell us where you got the hard plastic protection? I d like one to preserve my sealed box.
I actually make those soft plastic protectors myself. I can make a video showing how to do it, but basically you will need a vinyl/cutting plotter and some PET sheets.
How much use To cost a booster box? Deserve it? Thanks in advance!

@ hey Thanks for answering ;) you know how much about starter decks EX monsters reprint from tokyo dome?

I got 3 exzodia the 1999 repoint😎😎 😎

Haha you might have the original one!
How do I find these reprints to buy
You can find a lot of them on eBay from sellers in Japan 👍
@@TheShadowRealm824 the ones you have though. I have some but not in LP or NM
Where to buy?
You can find the boxes on eBay :) it’s probably the easiest place to get them depending on where you are located
I googled *premium pack 1 blue eyes ultimate dragon 1999* w/no results…is this a real card?

@@TheShadowRealm824 I googled "1999 prize card Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Secret Rare" w/no results…is this a real physical card that only has 1 copy?
Yes it is a real 1 of 1 you can see here:
yugipedia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_Duel_Monsters_II:_Dark_duel_Stories_Duelist_Legend_in_Tokyo_Dome_prize_cards
It is infact real. Look up TCG Republic
does it have a full exodia in 1 card?
This one doesn’t unfortunately, have to collect all 5 pieces
This set only has the head. It's 1 in 24 boxes you have a chance to get the series one exodia
