Its mostly the investor bros and flippers. Not organic interest, which begs the question. Who are they going to sell to in a couple of years? Other investor bros?
I'm really excited to see that this is getting a reprint! I haven't collected Pokémon cards since they first launched when I was a kid, but I've always kept up with the major Pokémon games from Game Freak. It wasn’t until I tried TCG Pocket that my interest in Pokémon cards was reignited. 151 feels like the perfect set for me. I'm not looking to invest or turn a profit... I just want to collect this series for the nostalgia, the memories, and the enjoyment it brings. I really hope this set is widely available, as I haven’t been able to find any 151 products at retail price yet
I’m a new Pokémon cards collector and I’ve been trying to get 151 products lately and I just can’t seem to find any, I go online but the prices are ridiculous so I’m thinking of just quitting for now
You just need to accept that you missed the boat with 151. It happens to everyone when they get back into collecting. Theres always a set you just miss. You won't miss anything going forward now. Buy the 151 singles you want and make sure to preorder future sets.
I tried buying a few decks back in 2010 for the first time ever. For financial issues I immediately stopped and now I’m going all in as of the last month. But I never realized the TCG was this crazy, people are going looney for 151 and I don’t understand why. It’s all about the money I guess? Too bad it’s not about the hobby. But here’s hoping I can finish at least 1 expansion binder.
Really hoping 151 stays available. I'm exactly what you describe: a new collector that was drawn in by 151. Hoping I can get a few of these to crack. And for the rest I'll just buy singles
the cheapest i can pre-order it now online for is €110 where i live, i will wait either for retail or just miss this set that i want for my collection instead of investing
Speaking of 151, it would be awesome to see you spin up a video on the (seemingly ever-growing) English 151 Master Set. Researching the card variants for this set has become headache-inducing - from the Costco box foils and non-holo battle deck rares, to the Play promos and Professor's Voltorb, there doesn't seem to be a coherent or comprehensive list anywhere that I have been able to find!
Yeah I wish this was going to be a good deal. Luckily I never have a problem finding things at retail due to where I live but $5 per pack is just nothing to write home about. I guess considering how expensive 151 packs are on the secondary market it's not terrible, but man that Sea & Sky box was sooo good I was hoping it'd be a similar situation!
151 isn't going to get the crown zenith treatment. However, given the long release schedule for prismatic evolutions, i expect that set will be printed like crown zenith.
@@bbq1040 at this point I feel like that’s what they need to do for prismatic. But I wonder if they can’t print enough to meet demand or if it’s just gonna be another Evo skies situation no matter how much gets printed.
151 brought me back in, but has kind of sucked is that i just want to rip of a bunch of packs for fun, but the cost is very prohibitive. But all in good fun so glad it has value.
been able to find a whole 2 etbs and 3 poster bundles of 151 - tried opening some surging sparks and paldean fates and it's just doesnt hit the same.. i enjoyed opening 151 even when just getting regular holos cause they were pokemon i know - opening ss and pf felt like i was just opening lottery or somethin tho.
doubt it will be accessible much, the EU will only get scraps. No pokemon centre. Only Prague “official” pokemon store and regular card shops of course
The page I followed posted the Blooming Water preorder as soon as Best Buy dropped it, and it went out of stock within a couple of minutes. I dont see this being able to keep up with demand. At least not for a while even after official release. Unless everyone gets distracted by prismatic.
I'm little late on investing into Pokemon and barely got into Surging sparks and I might just not get into 151. I did however buy like a tin or two here and there and that's about it. Kinda wish I didn't miss it
I am still trying to finish it. I have reached a point whete I decided to buy the remaining cards I need on the secondary market which will be cheaper in the long run. I would however pick this up. If I got any doubles i could get them graded as singles and keep my set in binder.
what them arrogant filthy companies need to stop doing is them pre-order nonsense. Good old get in a queue and make it like 2 boxes per person limit. Give name and registration to avoid scammers and scalpers. That would drastically curb the fake demand and let everyone have an equal chance at getting this box. Disgusting behaviour
Finding Pokemon in stores is like opening Pokemon packs Sometimes you bust and sometimes you get a score… Sadly there is an overflow of shrouded fables and stellar crown.. cuz nobody will go crazy for that smh
I don't think the blooming waters box will be overprinted as you mentioned. Simply because The Pokemon Company's printers will be busy with Prismatic Evolutions and the other high profile sets that come out in 2025.
Those boxes aren't going to be available to anyone that doesn't have a bot or script. Even best buy is putting right on their site they aren't getting a ton.
I am so sick of Pokemon taking regular cards from the set and just putting them in box set acting like they are “promos”. All it does is hurt the value for cards that already don’t have high value and just nuking them. This box should have just had jumbos of the big 3 from the set.
@ also it’s not a good feeling when you pull one of those exs in a pack from that box plus for kids who are just starting to collect I would think that feels even worse. Give them different art and make them actual promos or don’t include them
This product is wildly underwhelming. 151 has been out for so long I’ve been done opening and buying any products for it for a hot minute. This is basically just a sealed product for either collectors who want to display those two or to sell. The promos aren’t even different other than the jumbo.
151 and shining fates are in completely different leagues. 151 being readily available is just not going to happen, too many people chasing the master sets and too many chase cards, alt arts etc, new people getting into the hobby. It’s the best set in scarlet and violet to date, sorry to burst your bubble.
Is there a free way to get alerts on products? I would like to buy some pokemon products I want at or below msrp but everything is selling out with an hour... I know for a fact the owner of a LGS is trying to buy out the target pokemon deals ($20 ETB) im not hanging out at target all day like him. Blooming waters was gone within an hour. Is this just how collecting pokemon is from now on?
That's because Sea & Sky didn't release in Europe so the boxes in EU are American imports. That's why they're so expensive. Blooming Waters will be distributed to EU
Probably like the only person who gives a shit… But I’m kind of sad that there’s no jumbo Venusaur card… Hopefully there will be two versions of the box where one has the Blastoise and one has the Venusaur as a jumbo, but I kind of doubt it. Venusaur getting the shaft again.
If any card shop sells these for more than msrp then they are just scumbags. (Most are) I recommend you try to get one from Walmart, target etc for msrp. Don’t fill these greedy shops with money
@@TwicebakedJakeI'd consider around 20% drop a significant amount. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it turns out, really loving the card and I collect birds so it's dreamy
As a new collector (a small budget one) I would love to get one of this, I hope the prices aren't too high here in europe, I love watching this sets unboxings.
Lets be honest, the supply will not meet demand. People will buy as much as they can
Won't last
Yep, will be gone in a flash. Copium at its finest haha!
Its mostly the investor bros and flippers. Not organic interest, which begs the question. Who are they going to sell to in a couple of years? Other investor bros?
@@hvr8463 “not organic interest” is wild haha.
HAS been going fast. Best buy sells out in seconds
151!! It's the set that brought me back to the TCG after 20 years.
Haha Jake throwing shade at the scalpers. Love it!
I would love tons of stock of this! Scalpers are crazy with the 151 prices rn.. lets pray!

151 not being an investment set? This guy serious?
This Chinese guy already fumbled on surging sparks
Whatever he is smoking it’s not good for him. 151 was great investment only a year after release.
151 to the moon! Watch out Moonbreon SunZard is in town
151 is a better rip because the pull rates are much better than SS and the upcoming Prizmatic.
all it changes is even more people to the hobby!
I’m a new Pokémon cards collector and I’ve been trying to get 151 products lately and I just can’t seem to find any, I go online but the prices are ridiculous so I’m thinking of just quitting for now
You can get this boxes, I’m new too I preordered 10
Just try another set, why quit?
You can always buy singles, some of them are not too expensive.
@Cra3ier where cannyou pre-ordered?
You just need to accept that you missed the boat with 151. It happens to everyone when they get back into collecting. Theres always a set you just miss. You won't miss anything going forward now. Buy the 151 singles you want and make sure to preorder future sets.
I found a 151 ETB in a vending machine for msrp. I was stoked.
No way that 151 will be on sale for 18 months. It's way too popular. Snatch these up if you can.
151 was the first set i bought , i just got one etb and pulled a full art blastoise
Yay, Europe too for once 🎉
151 is one of the funnest sets and I’m excited for the blooming water collection
Couldn’t agree more 🎉

Yeeeeeeeesssss finally the news I like to hear, thought I would never have the opportunity to create a set of gen 1 Pokémon without selling my kidney.
Still hoping to pull a Charizard, some day .. would be sweet!
Same here I was going to buy one but not the same good luck

Imagine the "I'm never going to financially recover from this" meme here.
As an alternative, Japanese 151 booster boxes are widely available now. Usually under $100.00 Usd.
BASED video! thank you im gonna get one of these. i have t0ns of 151
151 brought me back in, but has kind of sucked is that i just want to rip of a bunch of packs for fun, but the cost is very prohibitive. But all in good fun so glad it has value.
4:23 “the blooming hwhaters collection” 😂
Really hoping I can snag one of these for retail 😁

considering the fact that a pack of 151 is 10 bucks right now, 5 dollars a pack is a steal. Will be very interesting to see how big the supply is.
I was hoping for like a vileplume full art card as the promo. These boxes would be crazy.
I hope it brings down the price of singles too, I probably won't be able to complete my set just from buying packs (if I can manage to get any)
The set is just awesome 🔥😁 Awesome it will be available in the EU, not crying anymore 😉

Having a hard time finding any 151 in stores in canada . resellers want way to much
This reminds me of Hidden Fates. I still remember them printing HF for ever, it never really recovered.
Hype moved on. People like to forget how easy yesterday's hottest set can be forgotten
I finally finished my master set today! So happy about that
I hope you’re right Jake 👍 I want to be able to pick some up without worrying.
US and Europe conveniently forgets about the rest of the world like Canada, Australia etc
thanks for the update Jake!

Might as well by the cards separate. Would be more cheaper in my opinion than trying your luck on a pack that cost $11 each.
I don't think the blooming waters box will be overprinted as you mentioned. Simply because The Pokemon Company's printers will be busy with Prismatic Evolutions and the other high profile sets that come out in 2025.
Impossible to preorder the blooming waters premium collection. Scalpers are going crazy with this one
Preordering will follow what you paid for, I ordered 10
151 Malibu rum and pineapple Juice….
Would be hilarious if scalpers fail to sell their product off for a profit.
Would be amazing if these are readily available for a while, just really dont see it happening
That would be a dream come true if they stock this set for the rest of 2025!
I can only hope and pray I get my hands on one .

Those exs are only worth 2 or 3$ anyway.
@@MieXuLso it’s better to pull a $2 or $3 card than a card worth under $1 since they are suddenly adding thousands to the market
Thank you. Hard pass on this for me
@ also it’s not a good feeling when you pull one of those exs in a pack from that box plus for kids who are just starting to collect I would think that feels even worse. Give them different art and make them actual promos or don’t include them
Can’t wait to get my hands on this one 😮

Im sad we didnt get sea and sky in eu, the shops are selling them here at 150 dollars, greedy bastards 😅
This is a 151 reprint but Jake is playing along with the game .
Bought 3 surging and 1 151 packs on a rip and ship i pulled the hydregion and sir Venusaur
People are going nuts for this blooming waters collection. 2021 is coming back…
Yea bro I need 2-3 of these maybe four rip a few keep one or two sealed for my collection !!😉💙🙏🏾🍀🤞🏼✅🔥🤑
151 and shining fates are in completely different leagues. 151 being readily available is just not going to happen, too many people chasing the master sets and too many chase cards, alt arts etc, new people getting into the hobby. It’s the best set in scarlet and violet to date, sorry to burst your bubble.
You must be insane to think these will sell at 60.
Yeah I put in for $50k worth across our distributors. 😅 prolly not getting 1/2 that.
Do you think this is the extent of the 151 "restock" "reprint" or do you think any other items will come out? Such as bundles, etbs etc.
I hope they put a limit on how many per customer
151 is the GREATEST!
“Not a heavily investable set” what are you smoking?
I want the Costco Promo Tins cuz it’s like $3.79/pack
it would be hilarious, all the scalpers would take a massive L
Is there a free way to get alerts on products? I would like to buy some pokemon products I want at or below msrp but everything is selling out with an hour...

Is this just how collecting pokemon is from now on?
If you're fine with MSRP then the pokemon center online is your best bet
So pumped about this box
For me it feels like Generatons 2.0 😅
Keep product sealed, buy singles 😂🤷🏻♂️
Sea and Sky was 40$? It sells for 110€ over here 😅
That's because Sea & Sky didn't release in Europe so the boxes in EU are American imports. That's why they're so expensive. Blooming Waters will be distributed to EU
what’s the best advice to try and actually snag one of these?!
I love 151
If 151 is available for next 16 months, do you think prices for singles will dip?
Yes it would dip
I started collecting a week ago lol
Probably like the only person who gives a shit… But I’m kind of sad that there’s no jumbo Venusaur card… Hopefully there will be two versions of the box where one has the Blastoise and one has the Venusaur as a jumbo, but I kind of doubt it. Venusaur getting the shaft again.

You don’t know anything you’re hoping but you know the truth lol
If people didn’t scalp surging sparks would be $130 a box
false
Is it right to assume that the Zapdos Ex illustration rare from 151 will significantly drop in price when the set gets reprinted?
That's a weighted question, depends on what you mean by significant drop. Just the news that this box exist is causing prices on 151 cards to drop
@@TwicebakedJakeI'd consider around 20% drop a significant amount. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it turns out, really loving the card and I collect birds so it's dreamy
Great video today!!!😊
So what I’m hearing is 151 is a gateway drug?
First hit is free
And it's sold out.
You mean changes "nothing"
When u have a hit what i have to do?
I'm gonna grab 5
what about Australia :c
I just want to pull a copy of the charizard, no way I’m paying secondary market prices
same
151, people buy it. Just wait 5 years from now ha this guy hasnt got a clue said the same thing about surging sparks
canada scalpers are busy since then. LOL. Let’s see how many overpriced boxes will be there on eBay and FB market.
It changes nothing. The new product is so lazy. But yes, it will sell because of the boosters
I want one so bad🎉😅
16 months 😂😂 it won’t last 16 hours bud
AUSSIE get things soo late lol
Don’t support scalpers
As a new collector (a small budget one) I would love to get one of this, I hope the prices aren't too high here in europe, I love watching this sets unboxings.
I hope they bring back more 151. I didn't get my hands on any of it. This Blooming Collections is nice. Such a large box though.
You buying to keep as boxset?
