Anyone else here after the smoke & mirrors disappointment😅? At this point this hobby has passed the sad stage to the funny stage. Because if we don't laugh about it we'll cry😢
Stock was NOT showing up on Smoke & Mirrors at 12 sharp. It didn’t show up for me until about 20 seconds in. Had to refresh a couple times and then it was sold out 😭
The problem with higher than MSRP on everything is that eventually the market pushes out causal collectors who will just move on to another hobby if this just keep being over priced.
Sure if that was true for every set - and it may be for all 2025 - but there's so many sets you can get way under MSRP, not to mention singles on TCG player. People need to forge their own path more and not worry about the hype; Personally I'm still master setting Temporal Forces and Stellar Crown with sub $3 packs and $5 singles.
Hahaha insane! Maybe if it was a main set and the pull rates were likely to be the same as other recent sets but we may very well get another crown zenith type set where you get an alt art every 10 packs and these cards may be super easy to pull. Imagine spending $3k on what might become a $150 card 😂 people are crazy with their money
Smoke and mirrors sold out of Prismatic instantly. I was refreshing the page and right at 12pm EST it went straight to out of stock in under 30 seconds.
Bro I command you, you are literally one of the best RUclips channels out there, and I'm constantly wishing you the best success with this channel and in life. Thank you for everything you do for the pokemon community.and in the medical field
TBH any store that shows it's true colors and doesn't scalp earns my support. I've made a mental note of the ones that are succumbing to the cash grab and won't support them when the market cools
It sold out in less than 40sec. I was on it too and added only 1 of each item and didn’t get a thing. Prismatic will be very hard to get at regular price for the majority
Smoke and Mirrors was at retail and it was all sold out in under a minute. I had one of everything in cart, went to pay and it emptied my cart and nothing was available. I can't believe they didn't have a cart lock for a set time. Oh well guess its Wally Word on release day.
I have a feeling it won't be retail price. It's so ridiculous right now struggling to find product anywhere lol. I noticed best buy hardly has specials on sleeved packs like they use to often. 😞
It'll definitely be a little while, but you'll get your hands on it for close to MSRP eventually. I am quite confident that this set will be printed like Crown Zenith.
@@jessicamagri8211we will see if they reprint Surging sparks. There is definitely a chance but it seems like that hasn’t been an issue with price much with this era. Which is crazy
It won’t make a difference. They’re just going to buy out everything. The only thing that will help a little is if they put strict limits on items and actually enforce it. Even then, a lot of scalpers are basically part of groups of people with credit cards. You just have to get lucky in the midst of the bloodbath that’s going to occur.
Thank you for helping me realize I don't need to pay over MSRP. I have pre-ordered tons of prismatic for MSRP. If you're buying for over that you are nuts!
@@RazMors yeah unfortunately that’s hard to do. Thankfully I bought enough from the Pokémon Center but I’m keeping that sealed. Just wanted some to rip without going out to a box store 😂
@@Michganfanatic same. Probably going to wait for restocks when people are chasing battle partners and team rocket cuz I wont pay 2x or more over retail
@@supremej7198 problem is, pokemon is printing at max volume and cant keep up with demand. Nothing against one piece, but just isnt a card juggernaut with the same demand.
There WILL be points where this set is widely available. This whole thing is funny and needs to be documented. Lol It's already been PROVEN LGS don't get similar stock as big box stores. That's why these places are trying to lock people in with pre orders.
I was lucky enough to get 2 ETBs from the PC, that's it for me. I will try and get some in stores, I will not buy at these silly prices. Sometimes you miss out on certain sets don't fomo at these prices.
It’s odd every one has a crystal ball now a days “oh the market has made up its mind.” Does the market text you and tell you good morning as well? Keep doing your thing brother!!
My brother and I got the max ETBs from the PC. Plus the surprise box and poster boxes. You had a long time to buy an ETB on PC. We got our fill, waiting on the team rocket set now!!! Don’t FOMO people!!!
I'll be taking my chances for MSRP at the big box store on release date. The ones paying way over MSRP will feel salty when people start posting they did not over pay for this product.
I wonder how many unemployed people and or rich people that don’t have to work spent the last 24 hours creating 50 bot accounts to snatch everything up. Humanity really is trash.
its definitely not going to be marp in many many places. call every LGS near you and see what allocations are. scalpers are going to be at every big box and bots will eat up online orders
@@Pokemon_Doctor I personally think this set will have more hype than 151. But who knows they might print the crap out of it to capitalize on that popularity.
dude, the market makes up its mind the second someone buys that. That is supply and demand. Can you wait and get it for MSPR, sure; but right now you cant, so its $150. I would do the same thing if people would pay it.
They are going to be at walmart for atleast 3 years. I just got a lost origin etb 2 days ago at walmart. If there were bbs in pe then id understand people worrying about getting those.
That’s because nobody wanted those sets for years. Your finding the remaining product. Prismatic is basically sold out before it’s even released. Big difference. This set will have more scalpers than you ever seen.
If preorders are selling at triple the msrp and sales at msrp are gone in 30 seconds, what makes you think this will be easy to get a hold of? No other set started like this as soon as it was even announced. Even Surging Sparks had booster boxes selling under 200 and I got the etb for under 40 bucks before release. All you can do is camp out stores for restocks.
While I agree 100% with what you say, even if by some miracle what they say comes true and I get no Prismatic, I don't care. I have my sealed Surging, Twilight, Stellar and 151. Regardless of what happens with Prismatic, people won't magically forget about the other sets
That comment isnt wrong at all. The market price is set, especially when we wont get a restock for ETBS until 5/6 months later. IMO, The normal ETBS will probably climb closer to 200 after a few months.
This individual who said, "The market made up its mind," is straight-up delusional. I pray that this set is way over printed so these sellers have to drop the price significantly. It will make my year early if it that happens. 😂😂😂
I hate how these Pokemon scalpers and local shops trying to talk "market price" and "supply and demand" as some sort of weak ECON101 gaslighting to explain ridiculous prices. That's now how that works and pretty much low level sales/marketing tactics.
@ 🥱. Stores will not be at a loss if they’re selling about 10-20$ about MSRP as opposed to 2-4 times MSRP. They get the prices notably discounted when they get from their supplier. Let’s not act like local card shops do anything special where it’s meaningful to support local stores (ie local bakeries and local wood shops).
checked at 12:15 sold out this is ridiculous how are ppl getting them so fast do they not have jobs? new Pokémon cards aren't worth over $5 per pack i don't understand
This bs and not being able to get a single pack of 151 ect is what makes me want to just stop, its almost not worth it to even get my hopes up at all for any of this because its not gonna happen unless I overpay or follow every drop of anything and run ridiculously to try and get stuff before everyone takes it with in 45 seconds, its just sad.
Get some sleep, Doc. Take care of yourself. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with you & would say that it isn't what the market has decided, it is them MANIPULATING the potential value of an unreleased product.
The honest solution in fighting the resellers is to not buy from them. If nobody buys their ridiculously inflated prices, the resellers will have no choice but to undercut each other and fight for the customers because they DO NOT want to hold their products long term at all. I am not buying Prismatic Evolutions for a penny over MSRP.
Tcgplayer should let everyone put products for presale. Only brick and mortar shops that get products wholesale can list products for presale so they are literally controlling the market and not true price since there is a bunch of product that cant be listed until Jan 17th. More supply will lead to lower price and once everyone can list there will more supply
Are you doing a giveaway for another three 151 booster bundles and another lifetime discord membership at 12k subs or is this the same giveaway that you said at 10k and 11k? Not trying to sound negative just honestly curious.
When they say that they mean the current market, not the market forever. Also it would be nonsense to say there is no current market since people are currently paying money for the product.
If people are buying it at the CURRENT price and there’s enough demand to upkeep that price, then yes, that is current market price. I think what you’re trying to explain in this whole video is that the market will drop in the future as more supply comes in and there’s less demand at these current market prices, hence prices falling to a new market price. So the guy isn’t wrong in what he’s saying but I understand your sentiment.
So single cards on pre-release sitting at several hundred dollars is the market price for them and people should buy them because it’s the market price with few listings. Yeah no.
I’m not saying people should buy them at these prices either. I’m just stating that if enough people are buying it at absurd prices, then unfortunately that’s what the current market price is. Just because one feels strongly about something being overpriced does not mean it’s not market price. It only has to do with supply and demand. Again, I agree with you that I also wouldn’t buy at these prices, but we don’t get to say what is and isn’t market price.
@ the comment I showed in my video was based on Tcgplayer, and Tcgplayer had only whatever amount of listings, so saying the market has made up its mind is asinine
I've been scouring many websites high and low and let me tell you any good English product is GONE, I don't see ETB's turning to a reasonable purchasing price for a while. your only hope is in store with places like target, best buy etc
The market makes up its mind when they see stupid people paying that kind of price. My LGS is just as crazy. They are selling the 2 pack at 22 bucks each. ETB at 135. The only product they are sold out of is the booster bundles. All other products have been available for preorder for a month now. I'm done with LGS and online. I will wait for the big box stores until they get their act together.
Again you can time the market. Wait till the product drops and see what happens. You maybe able to get it lower. Currently the market says the price is high. If enough people don't buy at this price it will drop. But. . If you all buy it then get over it. I'd personally buy one now so you have it. The. If you can get some boxes cheaper later then buy some more. Timing the market never beats time in the market. Price is going to fluctuate up and down until it stops bring printed. Then the price will start stair stepping up and up.
Yeah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and stance on the Prismatic price gouging. I'll tell you my opinion. I won't fomo, I won't ever buy from Safari zone or the shops charging these ridiculous pre orders prices ever again. They are the ones who created this monster. Going forward, I'll be buying from the ones who kept msrp or slightly over msrp. I hope losing customers in the long run is worth it.
Your wallet speaks loudest, keep up the good work Doc! That comment misses the point : People support this now in a bull market, but whos left to support these stores in a bear market? As i said before dealerships sold plenty of cars during the shortages of the pandemic well over sticker, but they destroyed all good will, now theyre struggling.
EDIT: I forgot to mention a comment by the original FB poster that mentioned how people are complaining about her $130 price for the PE ETB when the same people sell products from Evolving Skies, 151, etc. for over MSRP.

If you can get some boxes cheaper later then buy some more. Timing the market never beats time in the market. Price is going to fluctuate up and down until it stops bring printed. Then the price will start stair stepping up and up.
FOMO
Yeah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and stance on the Prismatic price gouging. I'll tell you my opinion. I won't fomo, I won't ever buy from Safari zone or the shops charging these ridiculous pre orders prices ever again. They are the ones who created this monster. Going forward, I'll be buying from the ones who kept msrp or slightly over msrp. I hope losing customers in the long run is worth it.
Rise and shine!
It sold out in less than a minute 😭
MSRP Price, but sold out in seconds. Probably botted.
Only $130!!!!
Your wallet speaks loudest, keep up the good work Doc!
That comment misses the point : People support this now in a bull market, but whos left to support these stores in a bear market? As i said before dealerships sold plenty of cars during the shortages of the pandemic well over sticker, but they destroyed all good will, now theyre struggling.
All of the people paying these ridiculous prices are making these price gouging prices normalized. I will not participate in this stupidity.
Greed ruins everything fun!
