*Happy Holidays, Duelists! In all seriousness, as awful as these Yu-Gi-Oh products are, they were at least fun to open! Just don't gift them to anybody you actually care about.* 🎅🏾
I also bought one of these boxes from Walmart, for sh*ts and LOLs, despite knowing how awful these boxes tend to be. Wanna know how badly I feel jipped*? My mystery deck was the Rex/Weevil Speed Duel decks.🤦♂️ *Yes, I did it to myself.🙄
Afternoon all my Trellians. We were trying some new mics, be patient with us if things sound different than usual. Also if anyone needs to know, my Christmas list is for new blades so uhhh if you feel generous send me sharp things!!! Thanks for viewing guys/girls & Happy Holidays!
Tbh I didn't even notice any sound problem. Great video as always. Idea for next video: More of classical archetypes that got adapted played. Maybe Ishizu new cards, pure deck out opponent no Tearlament and combo it with obelisk. Actually works great. Also you pulled a very interesting synchro card "Cardian synchro". Be cool to see those in action, they are litteraly solitaire lol. Happy holidays!
So the reason why there are so many chaos sets, is because (at least at some point) all the sets were in like 7 or 8 set blocks where they would have a blank of chaos, blank of the duelist, blank of darkness etc in each block, if I recall correctly
Pack opening felt a tad weird: They put Pauls segment first and Trells second but from the stuff on the table and the Chaos Joke/Bit, you clearly noticed that Trell opened his stuff first and Paul opened his second
I actually bought 2 of these about a week ago and got a Kaiba Reloaded deck and a Cyber Dragon Revolution deck. Honestly not as bad as I expected, considering how these boxes usually turn out
They usually turn out pretty well as long as you're not buying the ones with only random singles (though those are often not as bad as one might guess either - even in some of it's worst moments getting, say, a random half of a deck that would cost you 40+ dollars for 5 is really not that bad a deal). The summer one was actually kinda better than this though since they had the same number of packs just with nothing extra and had things like 1E SOVR in 'em (pulled an error double ghost rare from one of mine, lol).
I just wanna say thank you to all of you!!! I've been binging your videos and can't get enough of them. I played with my brother when I was younger and of course didn't have any of the cards around. I just got in 2 booster boxes of the crystal beasts!!! It was so much fun to open and to put a deck together. Hopefully soon I can find people to play with!! Thank you again and happy holidays 😊
i don't know if it was an editors choice or the way the lavs were set up but i wouldn't do the separate mics on the left and right channels. would take more time editing but i would enable/disable the respective track for whoever is talking and make it stereo. lmk if you need an editor.
just want to clarify i am NOT hating, i think you guys make amazing content - the rare hunters series is my favorite on youtube currently even outside of the TCG category - just trying to offer some help and my services (5+ years experience editing for a 200k+ sub YT channel).
I don't even play or will ever own yugioh but I'm subscribed just to watch and see this cool team of brothers. I love listening and watching your enthusiastic lives.
Reminds me of the MtG mystery boxes from that sleazy company. They'll occasionally throw in something wild so people will buy their products again, but by the time the word spreads, the ones with good stuff dry up, or so I've heard.
Pretty much. It's a box of unpurchased boosters that get returned, so they'll just toss them into a box, slap a cheap price on them and get people to buy them this way. Less money is better than no money. And since they actually often ARE returns, some of them might have been opened and resealed after getting the good cards out.
@kish45 same here. I got 3 of them because of it. Got a dope ass summoned skull Keychain and two of those big ass blue eyes cards sadly. Headtohead battles also did it and got a BEUD keychain
My special item from one of these was an exclusive $500 card, so I'm not complaining, it was a few years ago and I have no idea why they included a first edition Portuguese Blue-Eyes in it but they did so big W
I actually enjoyed the one box I got-I got a $30 Gear Deck, a neat keychainl and a EN Judgement of the Light pack! Usually I know these aren't great but still fun😆
Seeing stuff like that Azure Dragon and the Maiden with Eyes of Blue reminded me a bit of the old Blue Eyes deck I put together around 2017-ish. Too bad that structure deck didn’t have all the other support for it. Or even at least two more Blue Eyes lol
Happy holidays Team APS LEGENDS. Truly think the RUclips 2022 highlight for me has to be the new Rare Hunter series. And with the new episodes getting even better I can't wait for more. That said these classic duels are always going to be amazing content to look forward too.
Merry Christmas Team APS. Thought of an interesting idea to try. Lifeline duel. Each player gets 5 unique lifelines, per match, that can be redeemed at any time. 1. Negate effect and destroy. 2. Reveal hand and back row 3. Gain LP equal your total attack 4. Nuke field 5. Activate Pot of Greed to draw two additional cards from the deck 😏
I actually bought one of these the other day, I was really unhappy when I pulled out the Speed Duel Weevil/Rex Raptor decks but when I opened the packs I got a Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning from IOC. Still lost money but I did pull a really good card.
I thought I accidently left my music playlist going during the battle and went to check where I was hearing the Shin Megami Tensei music from, but it was in the video, great taste in battle music.
Cool video. Sounds like it was recorded with an ASMR mic tho. Probably should've set audio to mono considering audio just goes left and right all the time. Also, Happy Holidays Team APS!
You've been wearing the hell out of that Blue Eyes shirt, Paul! I think I've seen you in 3 different videos from other channels wearing it 😂. No shade thrown! I collect vintage band shirts and have worn the hell out of a few of them just because I love them so much lol. So I definitely get it!
Dude. A family friend bought me one of these for my birthday not knowing any better, I got an Ulti Blue Eyes from it. And recently someone posted getting an Ulti Pot of Greed on reddit. Those things have secrets and I will find them.
The machina cards were my favorites way back in the day. So many fond memories with them! Shame the game nowadays is just not fun for me anymore. It's like playing mtg but only against blue decks that have a full board of bs.
7:14 To answer that question yes maxx c is In the structure deck: machine reactor.And just in case you don't know which one i'm talking about It is the ancient gear Reactor dragon Which was the card on front of the Box
I decide to buy a Holiday Mystery today. Got a Weevil and Rex Speed duel starter deck, a Yugi duelist, a Kaiba duelist pack, a flames of destruction pack, a Duelist Alliance pack, and a Invasion of Chaos pack. Pulled ok in the yugi pack which had a Poly, not that good in Flame and Kaiba, but in Alliance pulled a Odd-Eyes and in Invasion pulled a Chaos Emperor Dragon.
The deck Paul pulled was actually "Saga of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon" it was my first deck and I love it a lot Edit: even if it is a bad deck I have a lot of loving nostalgia for it
Have you guys considered creating a "cube" based on some of all the old cards you guys have bought so that you can create older format tournies between the team and maybe others? Gives you something to do with the older cards and better views for the audience that enjoys older formats. Just a suggestion.
Trells box contained the exact same packs deck and mystery item as the 1 I opened did that's certainly fishy considering the amount of items in the box this thing has to be mass produced somewhere with if I had to guess 4 possible different variants
What's really funny I bought one to get back into the game and drew a Blue eye toon dragon in mint worth 200 from one of these boxes. It literally felt like a fluke. And got a machina deck which from another video you said is a great deck to get started in the meta again. Keep up the fun videos.
I don't know if the ruling has changed or not, but a Kurebo pop negates all combat damage for the turn, that does not count for if it's in defense and is attacked with peirce
Team aps I hope you see this cause that's a question I've been meaning to ask a while now .why do I only get kartenkowfen adds ONLY in your videos ?I never get these adds anywhere else ,why is that
Please if you are going to record in left and right channels with the DJI mics to fix it in post it sounds super weird to have one person in my left ear and the other in my right
Flights got cancelled cause of the storm so I can't see my family this year, but gonna kick back with some youtube videos, some nice food, just chill. Life ain't so bad!
@TokyoFool They still selling them. And they already been caught for turning a blind eye to their workers running their own scams. This was talked about in an older video's comments with links. But alright. You also not the channel so you can't type as if you made this video and just now saying "I mean". The way you worded everything made it sound like you was claiming to be someone you are not.
@@andrewhorcasitasz1370 Ah that explains it all. You should watch their videos playing scammed cards. It sometimes gets funny. They even pulled a card that has an effect, but there is no text. Allowing the user to do anything.
I want to find some good official online shops and stop relying on stores that possibly take the good cards. How do u feel about the Albaz structure deck? Its the first yugioh cards ive ever bought

Got 2 of these... Got a copy of Kagari from each.
Meanwhile magic is bootleging it's own cards.
What if you got the albaz structure deck in one of those
I don't think you mentioned how much they cost? Great value if they were $5 XD

Yeah, the sound quality was not the best but the duel was quite entertaining. 👍

My Walmart was dumb and had unopened Magnificent Maven display boxes on the shelf so I got them for single pack price
Target did that with GFTP2
18:13 yooo wait up Paul I thought this was a family friendly channel xD

These would be a decent deal if they were 20. 40 each is insane
Indeed, it would most likely be cheaper to just buy the decent cards from those packs as singles from cardmarket.
They’re only around 30$ where I live.

You are meant to buy 3 copies of structure decks, it only having 1 blue eyes is very deliberate.
I really enjoy these more casual duels.

Please keep these type of duels up
29:45 hell yeah riders of the storm reference
Merry Christmas Team APS. Thought of an interesting idea to try. Lifeline duel. Each player gets 5 unique lifelines, per match, that can be redeemed at any time.
1. Negate effect and destroy.
2. Reveal hand and back row

4. Nuke field
5. Activate Pot of Greed to draw two additional cards from the deck 😏
I just got one of these and pulled the Kaiba starter deck reloaded which has the blue eyes ultimate rare! Super happy with that!
I might get on of these mainly for the structure deck and the nastalgia packs. Not saying theyre good but the extra structure decks are fun.
The previous holiday Mystery Box i got 5 LoB packs and 1 Magician of Chaos. Odd because the box mentions a random chance of getting a LoB pack🤔
my local Walmart has albaz structure decks still on the shelf alongside every other product still available.
Yooo the editor adding the SMT OST as background music is fire🔥
Laughed too much at the "it hard and it's black" comment when Paul was talking about the coal
I actually bought one of these the other day, I was really unhappy when I pulled out the Speed Duel Weevil/Rex Raptor decks but when I opened the packs I got a Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning from IOC. Still lost money but I did pull a really good card.

13:39 Yeah Trell! Representing my Machina's!
Cool video. Sounds like it was recorded with an ASMR mic tho. Probably should've set audio to mono considering audio just goes left and right all the time.
Also, Happy Holidays Team APS!
Pøl wants the fellow with tatts and his hood up to also be brandishing the knife. Subtle.
my left ear enjoyed this
Love the machina deck! recently got hooked on master duel and playing with machina is such a blast can't wait to get my physical cards!
I Really Wish I Knew Were Paul got that blue eyes sweater. I need it
It's from a brand called ThinkNu. I believe they have social media and a store as well, though I grabbed it at their booth at a convention.
That invasion of chaos pack takes, Me back only I still got bad feels for the large amount of ultra evolution pills I pulled way back when.
happy holidays, guys!
0:46 that eye contact 👀
yes! this is one of my favorite series using the cards you just bought! keep up the good work
Since I recently bought that Blue eyes Structure deck because I'm a sucker for Blue eyes. It's cool I get to see how to play with it.
My right and left ears appreciated completely separate parts of this video
You've been wearing the hell out of that Blue Eyes shirt, Paul! I think I've seen you in 3 different videos from other channels wearing it 😂. No shade thrown! I collect vintage band shirts and have worn the hell out of a few of them just because I love them so much lol. So I definitely get it!

Whats going on with the sound, its like its mirrored. I can hear you both in the wrong ear, had to put my headphones on the wrong way around lol
ye and the camera is still not stable or clear lmao
9:17 Paul too wholesome for the innuendos 🤣
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in case you guys don't upload anymore videos before those days! Great Duel!
Damn Trell pulled that knife outta nowhere tho
14:33 honest duelling xD
"It's hard; it's back, and that's what you're getting."
You might want to rethink that one, friend 😂😂😂

Ive been seeing everyone say these boxes are scams. Can anyone explain why? Are the packs inside the box just terrible?
Really not worth the price tbh. Like, you can get the contents of the box for much cheaper than the price of the box itself

It's done by the people who distribute to all retail in North America.
A way to flush the unsold stock, basically.
How they sell unsold leftover stock of packs and structure decks
Dobby has sleeves! Dobby is a free elf!
Audio was a little scuffed on this one, but I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work :)
yea, thought my earphones we broken.

Paul was heavy on the innuendo this vid XD
You could score a booster box for very similair price to these. Though some rare people do get lucky with these.
So basically this ended up being a structure deck duel, kewl

I had so much fun opening these! 😂😂😂 for me, I’m not sure if it was our area or what, but nearly each box came with a LOB!
Even I did at a place called Meijer (like Wal Mart) it was quite a rip off.... Speed duel starter weevil
Only pulled 2 good cards out of the whole box
Okay but hear me out the 2017 ones with the GBA game complete in box besides promo was pretty fire
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! :) This was a fun duel
