- Welcome to this week's Waifu Wednesday! I totally missed these when they were released.
A subscriber commented on another video and noted that there is a Union Arena expansion set of Nikke cards. And lo-and-behold here they are! I paid roughly double MSRP for these unfortunately. They are pretty decent cards, but the super rare parallel cards are the stand out ones. Thankfully I snagged one!
There are 16 packs in here which feels pretty standard for a box of cards. Overall I was happy with these, just not the price as I don't think I'll be getting another one - unless they release these in English!
Let me know what your favorite was in the comments below!

13:46 that’s Rising Hope Johan.
Make sure to call him that. He LOVES that.
Nice vid. I got a few boxes around $70 each total when there was a price drop a while back. Was able to pull signiture Rapi so was very happy ❤
Nice pull! That price is pretty good. I'll have to keep any eye out for better deals like that. Is it basically one parallel per box?
@BoBoSmaK Yup good deals happen from time to time. One parallel per box and I believe 1 signature per case. Newer Union Arena releases have a 3 star signature chase card (Modernia for Nikke) that's like one every 4 cases. Nikke is unique because they also had a Red Hood card that they only printed like 50 of. It was like $15k if you find the right buyer 🤣
@@mikuz210 Wow, that is insane. Were those the ones actually signed by the VO actress? Or are all the sigs just foil stamps?
@BoBoSmaK it's similar to the Weiss ones I believe where the VA signature is printed on card with silver etching. Red Hood is the truly unique one since it is gold holo. I'm curious if they will have her card on English release.
@@mikuz210 Has there been any announcement of an EN version of the Nikke set? I only see stuff like One Punch Man and other currently popular anime coming state-side in the fall.
I get why, but it’s kinda weird that the cards with their backs turned to you have the lowest cost.
Because in theory they’re firing when looking forward. So if they’re in their energy line than they should be facing you since they’re behind cover.
Great point! I really hope they have translated versions of these so I can justify buying more :D
Missilis/Elysion/Tetra would be the manufacturer; they're the Big 3. SO you nailed it. Also, how can you not like Neon? Haha. She's so goofy it's amazing, mainly becausehe goofiness hides the fact she's incredibly good at what she does. You'll see in later Chapters of the story when you get there - no spoilers from me!
Thanks for the insight dude! I just realized it put 3 Tetras on the RUclips title shot for the video :D
I think I'm on Chapter 29, but breeze through the story stuff to get my dailies in etc. I keep telling myself I'll go back and read when I have more time!
If this becomes English I’m losing so much money
You and me both. Weiss Schwarz is doing an EN version and I already per-ordered 3 booster boxes. I can't justify a case...
They are doing a resale for union TCG
Oh don't say that! My poor wallet.
I still have some Weiss Schwarz Nikke cards to open!!
@@BoBoSmaK my GOAT!
@@ee-uz1zc Well that's a first! Glad to be the "Greatest of all Time" in something!! :D
Weiss Schwarz stuff should go up next week!
@@BoBoSmaK Awesome, be careful with Weiss though. Booster Box Cases can be chased.
If you want to pick up more boxes, they announced a second print run so box prices will drop a lot, especially since the second print hasn't the pen signed Red Hood action point card anymore :)
Awesome! I'll keep my eye out.
100 USD is still a bit of a money put because there are very few cards that are worth more than that and they're usually case hits over individual boxes, and even buying from reputable dealers you don't know if you're buying out of one case or many cases (which lowers your chance of hitting I've of the premier cards to basically lottery odds.)
Oh totally. I think at their retail price (which I think was $60) its a bit easier to justify. But you are right, the winners are the case hits. I saw a card going for over $2K USD - which is insane to me. I don't think anyone would buy it at that - but that is crazy!
@@BoBoSmaK You'd be surprised. There are numerous Weiss Cards well above $10k each and Lycee has case hits that go for well over $3k.
It's also one of the reasons I like Azur Lane's Weiss set. There are SEC case hits but they're not *that* much more than a good deal of SPs. I have the Amagi SP and she's easily $500 raw. BGS 10 Black Label and she's closer to $2k
you can get them for around 100 usd from meccha japan :)
Thanks! I paid slightly over that. I really want to get some more boxes - I will wait to see how successful the English version of Union Arena is once it comes states-side this fall!
@@BoBoSmaK I use that place to get a lot of my boxes I hope it can help :)
It’s best to just get them through Japanese websites and reship them. Those resellers sell them for a little over double the price per box
The gloves will ruin the card it has hard bumps you need to do rubber gloves or cloth
Thanks for the tip. I do need to get new gloves since the ones I have are pretty old and starting to come apart :D
Golden
feels like high cost gamble lol
and feels like they censored a lot on the cards....
I agree, def feels like the behind-the-back ones were cropped intentionally. Some of the parallels are pretty spicy though :D
@@BoBoSmaK true but i wonder if that card game fun to play
@@hmmdoh7835 I'm not sure either! I might buy one of the EN starters in the fall just to get a sense for the game - then maybe use Google Translate for these Nikke ones :D
