No doubt about it ! And as much as I hate to admit it because I thought the opposite at first. Scarlett & violet is better than SW&SH and we still have eeveelutions set the rocket set and a coupler of others.
unless you got in early pre-order pricing, surging sparks is a mediocre, hyped up set that is currently overpriced.....its no surprise that some people would rather put money into Prismatic and Rocket sets instead
Yeah I'm pleased with getting in at £93 a box but I'd feel uncomfortable going much higher this early. It is a really nice set but total value wise it's another Chilling Reign except it hasn't been printed anywhere near as much as Chilling was. It'll still do well but the people paying $200 are nuts. The product that might be a bit more special is the Pokémon Centre ETB. That promo is an absolute beauty.
The impact of FOMO is real. I made a joke about this set too already, it's perplexing and it's sad how much people potentially lose from doing these things and then being let down.
No such thing as fomo. That word is a mass delusion in this community. I swear you guys drool in the mouth with boners every time you dorks use that word.
Yeah I started adding to my vintage positions for the first time in ages this year. So many good deals at the moment. That being said, I'll still be buying the Rocket set come what may. 😂
@@compsigh9275 no doubt, im stoked about it. I just hit psa 9 on my vintage unlimited holo dark charizard, dark blastoise, and dark raichu. Happy either way lol. Also got a 10 on my espeon vmax alt. Gamestop submission.
I’m staying the course, most of my budget will be in Rocket and the Partners set. I’m already happy with my position in Surging sparks that I picked up for 109 each at preorder. Preorders for Prismatic Evo PC ETBs are placed. I’d rather plan ahead and execute quickly, than panic buy by waiting to see what happens.
Yeah I'm doing the same. Pre-ordered a ton of Prismatic from multiple places so that I can hopefully just forget about it. I'm taking no chances when these sets are so strong.
I never wait. Main set, buy 2 bb. Specialty set a 2pc etb. The new sets of team rocket and gym hero set. Ill probably buy 2bb and a pc etb as usual. The only set i havnt bought for steller crown besides pc etb, and shroud fable i havnt bought any
Even if you wanna go all in on team rocket, you should be flipping product constantly to get more money for team rocket. There is no excuse to have stagnant cash in this market.
Yeah there's no point holding Surging Sparks boxes when you can already make 100% if you got in early (Maybe 80% with fees). Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Either the Team Rocket set is going to be combined with the Gym Heroes set or one of them will be a mini Celebrations type set. NO way they're going to release them back to back as it would mess with their release schedule leading up to the next gen of main series games. BTW, Pokemon has their schedule planned like 2 years in advance. They have to because everything is based around the release of the main series games and where the Nintendo Switch is currently is in it's life cycle. Here's my 2 cents: these sets will be ok and have 1 or 2 main chases in them. Pokemon, at this point, can release a bag of rocks with Pikachu's face on it and morons will pre-order it and make videos saying it's gonna "change everything".
I'll replly since I'm going all in on TR. Whoever made the decision to do the same with Evolving Skies is loving life right now. Nothing wrong with waiting to go all in for the next top set of an era and we all know Surging aint it and prismatic is a special set, no bbs so it cant be it. If TR ends up not being the next ES then I'll wait for the next set or the next one. If at the end of SV Surging ends up being the top set then it's a super mid era and I still bought 4 bbs so it's not the end of the world.
If some people say that, I don't think they actually don't buy any Pismatic Evolution 🤣 Like why wouldn't someone buy prismatic evolutions, especially people who invest. I don't think Team Rocket will be better than prismatic, personally I think the eeveelutions are way more popular than the Team rockect theme cards(like the ones before), I kknow there hasn't been any Team rocket S&V set cards shown
I just started collecting jn august man and i come from a background of figure collecting. The scalpers are so much worse with pokemon. Even worse than yugioh. I say that as ive dabbled in yugioh for years. But i feel this year a lot of new people came on board to pokemon and they are freaking out due to seeing the value that accrues. I was lucky to see a little bit of 151 when i started up Pokemon and had no idea how sought after that set was. Its crazy that in 3 months, i went from seeing a lit of Pokemon product on shelves to barely bones now. Especially at walmart and target.
Yeah it's gone nuts and a lot of the new guys are going to get burned if they're not careful. At least it's not as bad as sports. I've been reading about that market and my god it makes Pokémon look like chump change.
Its more about how oversaturated the market is for standard sets featuring standard Pokémon / trainers etc. This represents something new and investable because it will stand in contrast to what is out there. Yes it is a gamble because we have not seen the art yet, but but based on what I have seen coming out in the current sets, I would assume it will be good. You are also overlooking that the market will continue to exist, and that the current sets are being hyped ridiculously. If the Rocket set comes out, and it looks terrible, everyone will just move into the already established sets and maybe at lower prices because we will be past the current boom coming into Pokémon. People don't like buying tops in markets (at least the smart ones). Just my hot take, don't hate me.
Here's what I have learned in life regarding your sentiment...the loudest voices in the community have either the most to lose or the most to gain. I say just buy what you want. The number of "investors" hyping up Prismatic Evolutions are doing it to flip quickly after release. Their strategy is apparent but a lot of people in this hobby are either kids or other sleazeballs.
People need to realize that sword and shield is a great era. I’m putting my money back to sword and shield. Don’t sleep on it
SWSH = goated
I've got so many Sword and Shield boxes that I have to sleep on it because there's no room for my bed.

The real question is why do you even care whether people buy a set or not? Like for real.
The impact of FOMO is real. I made a joke about this set too already, it's perplexing and it's sad how much people potentially lose from doing these things and then being let down.

Team Rocket blasting off to the moon!
Can get unlimited vintage rocket at good prices right now. Makes no sense. A NM dark charizard holo is worth LESS than an alt art right now.
Yeah I started adding to my vintage positions for the first time in ages this year. So many good deals at the moment.

@@monkey39128 Where do you buy? ebay?
Imagine the alt arts in the new rocket set though…

No one manage to buy it anyway. Scalpers will buy it all and try to sell it 4x the price.
Bro, don't worry about those folks. Who cares. It only means more products for us. 👍
It's true Surging Sparks was honestly underwhelming. I invested into Prismatic Evolutions, team Rockets getting bought up too

Probably be two sets in Japanese and one in English.
What's up with the weirdos that comment "Vapor" immediately on every video?
Moto is vapors biggest fan. Like that guy in Oblivion who follows you around.

The echo chamber is strong in pokemon.

But vapor, what about surging sparks? Did you forgot aout it???
2:47 huh…. Did you not see the Mewtwo flyby? Test tube Mewtwo 2.0
Why does it matter on how others want to spend their money and what they want to talk about?
One word: Content.
First time on your channel yea we have not seen any cards but let’s be honest pokemon has been on fire they have not dropped the ball !
Rocket's Mewtwo is what's hyping the Rocket set. No matter what it will look like
Welp, Team Rocket did say Pokémon exist to make them money...
Pokemon Co. = Team R
