@@TwistedCollects At this point, I'd believe anything. It happened with Fusion Strike, with an employee stealing cards. It seems like there's also batching issues where people like PokeRev are pulling the same cards(trainers) and cards close to their number. Pokemon Company International is shooting themselves in the foot with everything that's happening.
Honestly it really does suck, I can't find cards anywhere apart from online, I miss being able to go into a store and just grabbing a few packs, scalpers ruin every hobby
@@kingofthebongs858you used to be able to go to the store, buy a pack or booster, and then come back next week to buy other pack or booster that you wanted. No stress of losing out or running to buy it
With the abysmal pull rates and absurd second market pricing, prismatic evolutions and journey together may not be going to be fond sets for kids and young adults to remember. They'll be fond of other sets they can get ahold of at this rate.
SIR pull rates seem to be 1/60 packs (Like Evolving Skies) now that we have more data, but with 32 SIRs thats a really tough pull rate for the Eeveelutions, as those are about 1/4 amongst the SIR. So basically you are looking at 1/232 for an Eeveelution
Pokeballs seem to be 1/3 packs which tracks with Japanese, hard to tell with the masterballs, theres just less data points, but it seems to be 1/30 packs ish.
I think I’m just gonna stick to buying the Korean boxes for this one, I know they’re worth less but it’s also called terastal festival so I’m hoping the pull rate isn’t too bad. It’s also significantly cheaper 😭 hopefully the English boxes will become a bit more accessible later this year but I’m unsure 🤞🏻
@ definitely seems like a good shout if you can grab some! If they’re not too pricey here I might do the same. The surging sparks boxes are only 10$ for 30 packs here which is insane, but I’m assuming terastal festival might be up there with the eevee heroes boxes 👀good luck to you! I hope your pre order doesn’t take too long
Japanese product has doubled in price from my Japanese distributor in the last week. Everyone is jumping on Japanese because of the prices of prismatic, but in a month or two Japanese and Korean will be just as inaccessible and expensive as English.
Stock has always been a bit of an issue with the special sets but the Eeveelution are exceptionally popular and should have anticipated the demand for it.
@TwistedCollects yes but I just don't know how they can complain about scalping when they are opening boxes of them up before they hit the market. They are sold out alright
What I’ve been doing and what I recommend all you do is forget prismatic evolutions and go for Terastal festival.. it’s about 80$ a box and you’re guaranteed an sar
The reason that stores are restricted is because now there is 1000% more online and privat people ordering cases and 100/1000 of packs etb etcetera.. and that's what is ruening the hobbi and the price.. and there is Moore than enough product out there, I live in Norway and all the shops have pokemon products (English) so same as America, so in little Norway there is gona be hundreds if not thousands of etbs.. scalpers is the problem.
oooooooooo man tough pull rates mean market price is gonna go to the moon!!!!!!!!!!!! seal collectors unite!!!!!!!! I'm going for two boxes to hold on release day
I’d say adapt. Buy the chase you want if the packs ratios cost the same amount. Then go and open older sets until the burn out hits because Pokemon doesn’t stop and always comes out with more products. If your wanted to open new packs for the chance at value then booster bundles are the best next to the UPC its number game. Plus that new way to scan packs is gross so don’t buy loose packs!!!!!!
backdooring 1000 packs is insaneeee, also a 0.2% pull rate on SARs is absolutely wild
Yeah so crazy hey, makes me wonder if there was anything fishy going on with those packs to have such a low pull rate

I’m just getting back into collecting and it’s sad the state that Pokemon is in now with all the scalping and the lack of product in stores
@@Magispoof I’ve just gotten back into it too, massive shame it’s so hard to get product

2 out of 1000 is crazy 😭
Yeah I’m considering buying some more Japanese terastal festival haha

I just watched pokerev open 4 EBT s on RUclips before release
@@rogerrantz2024 just watched the same video, he didn’t pull anything good either haha pull rates are lowwwww

That’s so lucky for you, hopefully you get all the product you want to and don’t have to worry about scalpers 🙏

Yeah might not be a bad idea honestly haha
Great Video!
Thank you!
Now that the pull is so bad no normal person will buy from scalpers rip you guys
You need a wall of Pokemon
I’m still new to the hobby, slow building up the table behind me with ETB’s but we will get there haha
The guy probably cherry 🍒 picked packs and sold everyone crap
Could be but apparently he did another stream opening the ETB’s on camera and same thing

Yeah I agree with you on this one, seems like patience will be key here
