Did my pre-orders at just shy of £95 a box. Nuts how it already needs a booster box reprint. I'm surprised the PC ETB's are still in stock, that Magneton is cool.
@@Dire_Hit What do you count as a reprint? You just said "The thing will be printed for the next year or two" which implies more will get printed, AKA a reprint.
I’m really excited for this set… feel like it’s the calm before the storm right now, the storm being surging sparks, terastal festival and then the rocket set!
I'm glad I purchased 2 cases of surging sparks at msrp, but the pokémon TCG has grown wayyyyy more ever since the release of evolving skies. It's gunna be really tough for future sets to out do evolving skies in my opinion. Anyways im looking forward to seeing how the market goes with surging sparks 3 months after release.
Yeah, people are talking like it’s gonna stay this price. The prices are going to plummet and they’re going to print it into oblivion and this shit sucks. There’s not a single cool card except the magneton.
@@erik1993 Yeah I think people are remembering VV wrong. I looked at the set list the other day and my god that set is terrible outside of the fat Pikachu.
That Pika is going to explode - election, BTC mooning, coming out of inflation after 2-3 years etc. The macroeconomics says this set will win by default
i buy 1-2 cases of everything and more when i have a good feeling and in sv era i only went higher on 151 and twilight masquerade wich are the 2 better performer, i just dont see it for that set will be only 2 cases, i wait for the next set wich is a eevee set and 151 reprints, also need to save for team rocket and gym
its just happen to be the set releasing while a bunch coming back to pokemon... everything is pumping like crazy right now.. even vintage zards, remember how much was vivid voltage its was out of this world, and see how bad the set is performing after a few years
@@westonpacker1813 it is a solid set but those pre order numbers are just because of youtubers and other influencers. Even 151 didn't get that much attention back then.
@tobiramatv6918 that has some to do with it, but the market is already deciding the price of the Japanese cards. The English set should be great 🤷♂️ I am more excited for the team rocket set though
Are we in another covid, I really don't care for this set, the latias cards are cool but that's it, I can think of heaps of better pikachu cards, this will lose value like vivid voltage did
1. This set is much better than vivid. 2. Vivid got SEVERAL reprints. So far, none are announced for this set and it is unlikely that it will get reprinted as much as vivid
The problem with a lot of yalls takes is that it’s just opinion based "on don’t like the design of this or that" when the numbers are telling us it doesn’t matter that the general public is super pumped for it
Trump win is being priced into all asset markets, including pokemon tcg. The set released during election week will capitalize on a wave of consumer optimism.
Hadn't even thought about that but it's possible. Prices are rising outside of America but then I guess what happens in America affects us in Britain as well as other western countries.
We got it early in Asia and the pull rates are the same as stellar, twm, and temporal. This singles on this set is going to be insane

Literally doesn't need a reprint. The thing will be printed for the next year or two.

Whereabouts did you see it for £95? Have only seen it at 100.
@@Waddywoos360 Endgame had a discount code on their site a few weeks ago.
Same. Loaded up real early @£91 a box delivered pre order. Saw this coming weeks ahead
Theory: This set is not short printed pokemon just want you to buy directly from them that’s why the pc etb is not sold out
I have this same theory!
Sold out now
@@DanGString holy shit I didn’t realize everything from surging sparks was sold out on their website, this market is gonna be insane.
@ it’s literally going bonkers… I don’t understand it either lol

Im loading up on Paldea Evolved while people are going nuts for this set that's will be printed again and again like Vivid Voltage
Paldea is getting pricey just like this one. Preferred it a year ago when it was way cheaper.
Yeah, people are talking like it’s gonna stay this price. The prices are going to plummet and they’re going to print it into oblivion and this shit sucks. There’s not a single cool card except the magneton.
@@jeffreyrobert3342 Don't you like the Milotic or the Hydreigon? Magneton isn't even properly in the set, it's a promo.
Except this set is 100x better than VV. This set will absolutely crush PE in the future. They can reprint it 10 times it wont change a thing.
@@erik1993 Yeah I think people are remembering VV wrong. I looked at the set list the other day and my god that set is terrible outside of the fat Pikachu.
I'm going to buy 25 Pikachu SIRs once they go under $200! No brainer
Aaaaaand we are back to boxes skyrocketing before its released. Thought we were done with this after covid.
Curious as to how this set is being obtained when it is supposedly not even released yet?

Best mainset of s&v. Its going to run 👍👍
This is wild 😜. Gunna be msrp at release lol
All the skeptics in the comments have me bullish lol have fun overthinking this one
Just do it
No one has mentioned the fact that Pokemon Pocket is about to release.
These boxes are going to Skyrocket.
Got in early lol. 😂

I bought 1 case for 659,99
I’ve been buying Pokémon center etb’s I think that’ll be one of the best products
22 boosters at 140$ each im a gambling man I’m buying into the fomo just like I did with evolving skies easy money
Don’t buy this set. Too many people want it. Don’t be weak.
I am honestly perplexed by the hype, I think the Pikachus are super mediocre. What exactly is the chase drawing people in?
Your opinion does not matter. The market will set the prices
FOMO at its finest
It's not fomo, market changed + a lot more people in the hobby + winter time + christmas presents + Sparks being the best set this year by far
its just happen to be the set releasing while a bunch coming back to pokemon... everything is pumping like crazy right now.. even vintage zards, remember how much was vivid voltage its was out of this world, and see how bad the set is performing after a few years
And for no reason
It's a strong set but this level of demand seems like overkill.
It's because influencers keep pushing the set not because the set is that good.
Yea keep saying omg next evolving sky omg buy it!
Think what you want 🤷♂️ the set seems solid and I locked in 8 boxes under 100 bucks 🔥

@@westonpacker1813 Rocket & 151 will go through the roof🔥
We have to make tough decisions in the next few months with our pockets.
This is all hype
What cards are you actually chasing???
the Twerking Pikachu or that stupid card that looks like an airplane Half bird thing.?
Are we in another covid, I really don't care for this set, the latias cards are cool but that's it, I can think of heaps of better pikachu cards, this will lose value like vivid voltage did

Have you looked at the VV set list lately? It's horrendous compared to this set. The stuff about the art is subjective.
Ur delusional, this pika alone is better than the vivid pika. If latias was the only other hit in this set it would be better than vivid.
