@@miloscarapic4502 Yeah but America isn't a British colony. They were a colony and the two nations are kin but America is it's own country. It would be more accurate to say they have British heritage.
@@miloscarapic4502that is factually incorrect and heavily racist. Someone could be able to track their heritage to Africa. Or to the natives that lived in America before the British. Or to the natives of South America before the Spanish.
@@miloscarapic4502 All our ancestors were Englishmen? 14.4% of Americans reported as having German ancestry, while only 7.7% reported English ancestry. Aside that, ancestry has nothing to do with being a British colony. You realize we declared our independence from Britain 248 years ago… right? There was kind of a whole war over it, which we won.
Yup, the Walmart nearest to me stopped stocking all cards back early spring. They already make very little on selling TCG but pair that with degenerates stealing all of it... It was just empty boxes on the shelves. So pathetic.
The fact that we got one of the best sets of the late 00’s in the states is so great. I was still a little kid in 2008 and didn’t know what I wanted in life, and now I ave the chance to correct that choice.
If light of destruction is in the US, i hope retro pack comes to Europe. Also the UK doesn’t have Walmart but we have a store called ASDA which is owned by Walmart and they do sell YuGiOh! Cards there thankfully.
Surprisingly, Walmart actually sold Asda to private investors in 2021, although they do still have some sort of relationship/equity investment with them.
Komoney probably used word play by specifically saying booster boxes as a loophole, plus they saw how much money they were leaving on the table by not selling in North America
This got me a bit pissed. We never get anything exclusive for us. Usually it is NA or Japan. Never or super super rarily EU. Because when has EU ever gotten NA exclusives. We haven't. I will tell you we will not get the retro packs here. I am happy NA fans will get it too because the set is very cool, don't get me wrong. But it makes me upset that EU never gets exclusives in any card game and when we finally do it always goes to other countries a few weeks or a month or so later. So it isn't exclusive. it isn't for us specifically.
Yeah, I'm not European but generally speaking... If they had just given both territories them, but released Retro Pack in European Territories at the same time they released LoD here, it would of harbored a lot more good will from the community. This feels just like blatant backstabbing from Konami for European Fans.
@@SoulAtParadise #2 behind Pokemon obv lol some say MTG is #2 but its maybe joint 2nd or very close 3rd, thats in the UK anyway. Rest of EU is probs same...
It's wild to see Light of Destruction finally hitting Walmart in the US! I thought it was going to stay an EU exclusive for sure. The mystery behind how these releases are being handled is so intriguing. Can't wait to see what other surprises come our way-fingers crossed for that Judgment Dragon pull next time!
Love the opening and pulls, I wish my Walmart was stacked like yours! I think it's pretty cool to see it's not a region exclusive product and it's nice to see Jaden on the cover of a box!
I love this. Reprints are always welcomed. Might need to import some of this into Canada, Retro Pack was impossible to find. Walmart wasn't carrying it and Gamestop was always sold out.
I think Konamani (Konami lol) maybe just felt bad for not releasing it in America too aha, who knows? Im going to have to see if this set dropped in Canada too! 🔥
I think this was an unannounced bonus. People just discovered these but Konami never announced these on their socials. They did say that Europe would get the full booster boxes. SE for america seems like a big thing now
I walked in Walmart and saw a bunch of light of destruction and retro pack on the shelves. It's so nice to have these old sets available but I really wish I could get booster boxes for msrp instead of buying a bunch of 4 packs at a time.
I’m from the uk and I’m soo annoyed 😂 where’s my reprint retro pack now? It better come to us here also. Nobody please tell me it already did 16 years ago 🤣
Retro pack has been what i've been hoping for since I got back into collecting in 2021. The new card layout doesn't do it for me so I did buy the reprinted Duel Monsters era booster boxes but I just left em sealed. I just wish they would be more transparent with the releasing so I could effectively give them more money! I really want to buy the booster boxes but acquiring them seems like a game of chance. I definitely would have spent more on this set if I could just easily buy the booster boxes lol.
I think they are made in Belgium (standard place in the EU, like it’s written on), but in displays of 24 boosters (standard booster box), then shipped to US and repacked into those retail boxes with 4 boosters. They are not the usual retail boxes you get in the EU. EU has just “Tuckboxes” with 3 boosters in it for retail. So I think, they get the new packaging in the US later on.
Nice packs and some nice pulls. We have Walmart in the UK but under the name of Asda and they sell limited yugioh products mainly structure decks, tins and single packs which vary from store to store.
Saw them a couple days back while looking for more retropack and got 5 lotd mini boxes. I really think both reprints are great. I have spend more than I planned for both😅
Cool product! I've been interested in Lightsworn for a while now. This situation feels like the Realm of Light structure reprint. It was only available in EU and then sorta randomly showed up here in the US? Idk...
Well I think the same that happens here with Yugioh happened in this case. We don't have a company here that prints Yugioh, so it's all imported either from the US or Europe. For you, it must've happened only with LOTD since maybe retailers like Walmart and Target saw that there was an interest in the product and had a channel to buy and import it to the US. That would be my take, I hope it's easy to get and there's a lot for everyone!
I like this! I definitely want to go look for some now, but MAN I wish my target and walmart card sections looked like the ones you got like seriously 😂
I found BOTH an ulti Destiny End Dragoon AND the ghost rare Honest in a single box! Walmart came in clutch! Also, based on the information, the cards were printed and packaged in the EU, while the external box packaging was made in the US. Last, I heard that regarding boxes and cases of RP01, you had to order from Konami like you do for OTS boxes. Not sure how accurate that is, though.
I was super excited to see this at Walmart the other day. Love to collect sealed items and was not super excited to buy a pack of this on TCG Player for a premium and wait for it to be shipped from Europe 😂
Due to family, I don't have the opportunity to really go check stores anymore, and when I do, they are sold out. So, I end up paying more online for products. And my area is terrible for products to begin with. I love GX, but these pull rates are brutal, I might get 1 or 2 but that's it. They need to make these fun like Retro pack, going forward reprint sets should double holo pull rates.
Bought the last 3 light of destruction boxes at my Walmart. Pulled 1 secret rare dark general freed, 1 ultimate rare phantom dragon, 1 ultra rare lyla lightsworn sorceress, 1 subsitoad and 3 jinzo returner's from 12 packs.
It's a good thing Light of Destruction reprint have a US version too and it's box is actually better than the EU one with 3 packs, because it only have Honest on it, but this have Jaden on the package too, just like on 24 packs box.
UK- we done have Walmart, we have Asda which I think is the UK branch of Walmart but Yugioh hasnt sold here in retail shops (outside of card shops) in at least a decade. Pokemon you can find, maybe Lorcana, thats it
So I just took a look at the packs in my Light of Destruction European booster box, and the text on the back is exactly the same as the ones you showed in the video. What's interesting is... I checked some other European pack wrappers from recent worldwide sets and none of them have that text about Konami US in California and the US support email, they only have the UK and German branch details and the EU support email. This suggests to me that they had planned all along to repackage these packs to sell in the US, given they seem to be the only recent EU-print packs with Konami US' address and contact details. I wonder if someone in the US who has access to Retro Pack booster packs could check the back of those and see if they have European details on them too? That might give us a clue as to whether they're going to eventually start selling that in EU too.
Honestly pretty knew to yugioh, but def cool to see it all be dropped in the US too. The retro packs were my favorite but my local stores havnt re stocked since release.
Konami digital entertainment B.V UK branch means it is a dutch company (the B.V part) with a taxable presence in the UK (uk branch part, a factory or office probably)
As you know, I am in Berlin. Big city and yet I barely know any places that sell cards. Very few cards/game stores and even places like Mediamarkt tend to not have anything or a few boring products only. I can think of at least 2 malls that have no card products at all, despite having multiple stores that sell games and similar media. Never found any place that does trade nights or sells singles either. So yeah, definitely jealous of the easy access you guys in the US have. :'D
Someone at Konami thought we were still a British colony 😂
You still are like it or not, your ancestors were all englishmans, you can't be from any other nation than to english one, you aren't alien.

There aint such a thing as an american ethnicity anyway lmao
The fact your walmart is stacked with product is amazing in itself
He probably knows the day the vendor stocks since he does this all the time
Not anymore lol
Real asf , that why I go to Best Buy
Agreed my Walmart and Target barely have anything 😢

I wish they'd just call it Walmart at this point. 😂
Oh mate im really hoping! if you see anything pls reply to me asap LOL

Not all of them. Some don't have Yugioh anymore just pokemon stuff

is yugioh popular in europe? i’m genuinely curious because i don’t know. if they want extra then they should replace retro packs in europe.

Praying we now get Retro Pack for in the UK 🙏
Found one of these boxes on thursday and opened it too. So weird to see these in the wild.
Why do you sound like a pokemon trainer? 😂 a wild LoD box is in the open, throws credit card to capture.
I’m glad that it was released in the US cause this is a good set. Great video Ruxin!
Was just looking at this box today. Thanks Ruxin as always for showing us the goods :P
It's a nice surprise. With the ability to know about every release months in advance, this just showing up is a nice treat for fans.
Love the opening and pulls, I wish my Walmart was stacked like yours! I think it's pretty cool to see it's not a region exclusive product and it's nice to see Jaden on the cover of a box!
This is good.. exclusive stuff like that grinds my gears
It would be cool if they off the retro pack to our pond buddies. I know a lot of them were complaining about not being able to access the those packs.
I love this. Reprints are always welcomed.
Might need to import some of this into Canada, Retro Pack was impossible to find. Walmart wasn't carrying it and Gamestop was always sold out.
I was pretty stoked/shocked to see these at my local Walmart. Definitely got a couple too. :)

Hell Yeah! Let's go! Good luck on the pulls!
Thanks for this video made me go out and buy 8 boxes myself !! I love this set😅
08:05 in France we also have Yu-Gi-Oh! packs in supermarkets !! And updated as well ! 😀
That intro was pretty funny, like Ron from Anchorman "I'm Ron Burgendy..?" Also, crazy pull by the end.
I’m from the uk and I’m soo annoyed 😂 where’s my reprint retro pack now? It better come to us here also. Nobody please tell me it already did 16 years ago 🤣

Favorite part about this, my friend is getting to relive his favorite pulls from when he was playing meta 😊
The Uk called , they say you can have all Euro exclusive cards if the US give their land back.
Christ, can you imagine Keir Starmer getting control of America? He'd be like a teenager who just discovered the strip club in GTA.
Don’t make me start a Boston tea party 2.0 man
@@yerxiong123 Screw that. I think just the American general public has more guns than our army. 😂
I cant wait to get these amaxing boxes i love this set :)
It's cool they are also here I think having region exclusive is kind of weird when today you can just order from across the globe
I like the new LODT just for how clear the ghost rare is. The ultis look...interesting.
That's crazy. I don't mind if they are here. Let's goooo!
I really like this mini box coming to the US. I love older sets, and want to open more of them.
I think they are made in Belgium (standard place in the EU, like it’s written on), but in displays of 24 boosters (standard booster box), then shipped to US and repacked into those retail boxes with 4 boosters.

I’m glad the light of destruction mini boxes came to the US. It’s been a long time since i opened this set when it first came out
Really excited to have these here too! :) Bit strange, but not complaining!
Saw them a couple days back while looking for more retropack and got 5 lotd mini boxes. I really think both reprints are great. I have spend more than I planned for both😅
Light of Destruction is such a cool set. Glad you managed to get some!
I like the were getting light of destruction. It was a set i loved as a kid
If it's euro only and if we have it then I am not gonna complain about it. Light of destruction is one of the best sets in gx to get your hands on.
I’m from London, UK love YuGioh but it’s soo hard to find sealed product at retail. Love the vids always!!!
I'm glad they brought it over to NA in mini boxes
Cool product! I've been interested in Lightsworn for a while now. This situation feels like the Realm of Light structure reprint. It was only available in EU and then sorta randomly showed up here in the US? Idk...
Saw these at walmart yesterday and was definitely shook

That would be my take, I hope it's easy to get and there's a lot for everyone!
It's cool! I am always all for the original print, but this is cool also!
Let's goooo!! I liked the set being reprinted but they should've used the retro pack reprint style for the cards
Check your local Barnes and Noble too. Theres supposedly at least Retro Pack, maybe Light of Destruction too.
K, payday can't come soon enough. I love the fact they put this out, I just hope it's in Canada as well. 🤞
I love when you Walk into wallmart😂
Oh yes I was hoping to get some of these bring back the memories

Not a bad looking set. Glad we have access to it. Still can’t find Retro boxes at retail stores.
House of Champs mention, based video ;) And yeah its very wild how they keep pushing some kind of extra fomo on these release packs to push them
I mean I'm stoked, I think it will be fun to pick up and try and get a ghost rare honest without needing to pay for international shipping.
Hey the more packs the better, I won't complain!
Im from belguim. The factory for all of europe and uk is in belguim. So these are eu print.
I really love this reprint set 🤩

This looks interesting, I'll probably end up getting some. It's just such a weird situation that I don't know what to expect with it

Shoutout to Walmart ?! I know in Hawthorne I’ve drove passed the distribution center / factory there it’s in an industrial area
I mean in the UK the Superstore chain ASDA is owned by Walmart, so maybe that is why?
Idec how it happened I'm just happy it's hit our shores!!
LODT getting reprinted is so cool!
Komoney is straight up trollin with these reprint sets
Wish we got the US products here! Would’ve enjoyed opening the retro packs
I'm from the United States and I'm so excited to get this box to open up to see what I get
Just saw this box at my local Walmart today. 🎉🎉
Honestly pretty knew to yugioh, but def cool to see it all be dropped in the US too. The retro packs were my favorite but my local stores havnt re stocked since release.

I’m glad it came to the us, but I hope they let the eu get the retro pack reprint bc I know they were frustrated about not getting that one there
Love the content you made get back into yugioh and I’m already collecting cards and opening packs🎉
stores have entire booster boxes of lodt over here in australia
I’ve never opened up a gx pack before, ever since I’ve got into yugioh in 2021, never thought the set would also be released in the US!

Love it! Let’s get that secret rare JD!
Hope to see them up in Canada

Maybe retro packs will come to EU?
It's cool that it's not only in Europe.
