'You might not see a single Eeveelution in a thousand booster packs'
Aight I'm out.
@@bellidrael7457 100% they can keep their cards. Onto next set?😂
@@Apparently_Johnalready sold out…..
@@MrAmadeus1998 oh yeah that’s right😂 we’re fkd
PokeRev ripps 1000 trash packs. The remaining packs are going only one direction in value because of it. This is the first pokemon set where nobody opens anything 🤣
@ yes it’s gonna be kept sealed by everyone lol and we’ll never know true pull rates.
It’s like Shiny Hunting but instead of losing hundreds or thousands of hours, you lose hundreds or thousands of dollars💀
😭
The pull rate is brutal.
What in reality means " losing hundreds or thousands of hours" because when you buy someting you doesnt pay with money, you pay with the time you had t spend to gain that money.
@@jeancarlossouza3432nah your wrong
Time IS money, my dude.
Set is literally not worth the retail price with these pull rates. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone pulled a massive theft at the printing facility.
Something is rotten in Denmark
Fusion Strikes enters the chat.
That's part of what's driving the price up is the tough pull rates. Die hard collectors love the chase and will spend whatever they have to just to be able to pull the card they're chasing. Counter intuitive yes, but that's why Evolving Skies was such a hit and those cards got to the price point they're at. It's going to get insane. I'm probably gonna be scoping out the lower cost single hits and only rip a little bit of packs myself. It's just too damn much for how little you're gonna get from ripping packs.
Evolving skies has the same pullrate and look at the price. 1000$ for a booster box.
@@ShadowPlayZ2 I’m planning to buy a Pokémon Center exclusive of Prismatic Evolutions and then selling it later.
PokeRev: this is so bad for the hobby these prices are terrible, the hit rates are horrible
Also PokeRev: now watch me open 300 packs that I got for distributer prices
I just don't see why everyone is confused about pull rates. People join the "hobby" merely to profit and not the thrill of just opening cards. I'd rather just go buy the singles I want instead of instantly flipping to the back of the pack and tossing the others to the side😂
@lostsoul192d5 the rarity distribution is completely different for this set aha Pokemon is always experimenting
@PoobedUpCheese they tend to do that whether it's good or bad😂 I can just appreciate that it isn't just the average hobbyist being affected. Good to see the scalpers stress over 1/2000 odds after spending thousands on early packs
exactly, acting like the actual company doesn't send him all of his stuff to him while everyone has to go out and actually fight scalpers.
All these RUclips guys are a joke
I honestly think that peak modern pokemon was Crown Zenith. Good pullrates, plenty to go around and multiple cards worth pulling instead of just the SiR's
Yeah crown zenith was great
Best set of all time.
Crown Zenith is definitely my favorite too by a wide margin
@@akebo92 I remember how stoked I was when I pulled the gold Vstar arceus from a triple pack. Been starting to go up finally lol
Everyone is looking for prismatic evolutions I'm looking for crown zenith
cant wait to see the story about someone at the print factory stealing all of the Art Rares...just wait..
Yep. It happened with Evolving Skies so I wouldn’t be surprised
@@gavinledet yupp and pokemon will say "the general pull rates were not effected"....okay
This is probably 100% the case at this point. This unreal for a limited set.
I think its beyond that, I think someone is scalping the sealed product too, how else would even large stores only be able to get 1/500th of their normal stock for a set unless someone high up is stealing them all early
Yeah I have a feeling that this is happening
Opening prismatic seems like the equivalent of waking up in the middle of a black market surgeon removing your kidney.
Disturbing, but strangely accurate
how about you enjoy the cards and stop caring about money or what a card is worth. maybe then you'd stop complaining
@@DrSt-mu4zw never said anything about monetary value. Crown zenith was a blast and most cards pulled at the time were worth a dollar or two at best. Removing illustration rare / gallery cards just seems like a step backward.
this is by far my favorite comment on this video
I could probably get a kidney for less then the 17-18 grand the Umbreon is going for lmao 😅😂
It's like watching someone of royalty eat all the food while you starve, lol.
😂😂
Literally 😭
😂😂😂
The hits 21:41, 29:07, 32:37, 42:45
The terastal cards/boxes are gonna go up, since that is the only way now for ripping and pulling those eeveelutions without going bankrupt
The video went live not even an 20 mins ago
I fast forwarded through the video @@icycarpet3
@icycarpet3 They must have fast forwarded to the good pulls! Sheeesh that's fun! 🤷♂️ lol
@@ShadowPlayZ2 correct 👍 have a nice day 😁
Think I’ll be cancelling a few of my Prismatic preorders and getting more Terastal. Already got 4 of the eevolutions in Japanese so might as well finish that way.
People willing to spend thousands of euros to chase a few cards and ignoring the pleasure and joy of cracking packs: I swear sometimes it feels like a community of junkies
the way I saw this dude skip even uncovering some of the holo rares because them not being the chase was so sad
It is
The most pretentious comment I’ve seen in a while.
Seems that’s all these d bag streamers care for. Ppl like him that ruin the collecting for us average 9-5 people
@@Fratello_Tom TRUE
This is insanity.
Any little piece of joy that was left in this set was destroyed with revealing those abysmal pull rates.
If this doesn't change in the very near future, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to dip out of this hobby, since every little bit of enjoyment is being squeezed out by both greedy garbage scalpers and then the pull rates.
Buy Terastel festival before the price increases, you are guaranteed at least one SIR in each box.
@@unholyterminus8823 bro can’t blame scalpers for everything smh. The fanbase is buying most of the stock.
Good. Play the game it was meant for. 😅
Nooo please don't go
@@KingSally92
Don't Japanese sets go down in price once the English set releases?
We should start a petition for pokemon to print this set none stop for the entirety of 2025 so all the scalpers lose their money
It's suppose to be printed a ton. We are getting a prismatic box/item sometime in August and I think is the last product to be released for prismatic. They will probably print this set all year even after August.
Maybe that was their plan- get people so hyped, short the supply at release, have horrible pull rates, print a ton so they sell a ton and make loads of money.
No one will lose their money if they hold for the long run. 💯
At this point I'm convinced someone stole all the eeveelutions at the factory, leaving only the trainers and EX cards
Wouldn't surprise me if it happened again this set was so obviously hyped
I was thinking the same. No way the pull rates are this bad.
its totally happening
Aber wenn gezogen wird und kaputt beschädigt das schmerzt noch mehr
Miss the days when I could walk up to the TCG aisle, everything was in stock and I could buy any product I wanted... Ah those were the days
ahh yes September was a beautiful month lol
What @@CloudfireTCG
Lmao bout go say you mean last year?
It'll return to normal eventually. The craze won't last forever
Bro that was every set until surging 😂😂
It's kinda poetic to see these youtubers hype up this set, leading to price surges, buy thousands of packs, and pull absolutely nothing. They are part of the problem.
The secondary main problem
I don’t think RUclipsrs necessarily hyping up prismatic made it skyrocket. Like yes they were excited but that’s bc we all were. A full eevee line again and the cards are so beautiful. I mean can’t help that they’re all chase cards it was gonna happen one way or another 🤷♀️It’s the scalpers in general, the ticketmasters of Pokémon if you will lol. They just buy everything just in case it’s popular and then it’s so hard to find at MSRP, the price ends up being crazy no matter what.😭
@@iitzstubs do you think scalpers bought the most packs, or the youtuber and their fanbase crazed and hyped beyond reasoning. I blame the ones hyping it and their sheep fanbase.
also people that buy packs for 20$ each to rip are stupid and deserve to be scammed
@@spkd123 could be a mixture of both, but scalpers seem to get to everything first if we’re being honest. At the end of the day, it’s a dark time for Pokémon collectors out there including me 🫠
Doesn't help when content creators are getting cases to open on RUclips when the average person can't find any product.
Scalpers brother but they are the ones complaining
Honestly, at this point, I'm glad they are doing it so that they informed me that it's not even worth it. I likely would have tried to pull for a Umbreon EX or probably looked around to get one since it's the only card I want, but after more and more people like content creators are finding out the abyssmal pullrates, I'm just going to get some picture of the full art printed out instead.
Here’s hoping no one pays the insane prices and scalpers all go bankrupt. Would be incredible to see people sitting on thousands of unsold inventory.
I would love that!
Yeah… but seems like they are desperate
This is a brain dead comment
Don’t think people should pay insane prices but 0 chance any scalper or buyer goes bankrupt. No matter what the demand is so high for this set everyone and anyone would buy this set for at worst MSRP. No one will ever have an issue selling this set, even at marked up prices they still are.
@@PaulL-f4n bro wants to stop capitalism buy encouraging people not to buy food 💀
As someone who is new to the hobby, I feel like I joined at the worst and the best time. Worst because of scalpers and extreme prices but also the best because of all the cool sets and new faces to the hobby. I have a eevee clip on plush on my bag and it has started so many fun conversations! Going to my first card show tomorrow!
Yes, I just started collecting and the hype is real
that’s awesome! Good luck tomorrow!
Best time to play
Worst time to open
I wish I had started at the time of the 151 collection
Yea, i havent collected in years but with my nephew getting into the hobby was thinking of jumping back in but everything im seeing im getting more and more hesitant.
With no illustration rares and then this being a special set, so there are no booster boxes, you just can't have pull rates this bad, especially with the insane demand for the set. Also, there aren't any full art pokemon in this set either, which also adds to why it feels like you only pull trainer cards. They have known for months that the demand for this set would be crazy. Thanks for the great video Rev.
I’ve been wanting to get back into the hobby so bad the past year…but being an adult with bills I just could never justify in my head the cost, I do love watching other people open the packs tho! Great video my guy!
Man I actually admire how you keep us entertained with talking while also ripping packs. If it was me I would only talk for 5 min at the start then be silent for 40 min T-T.
If the pull rates are like this then prices will flatten out on product but single prices on the big SIRs will go through the roof
Or both will stay high just like Evolving Skies with abyssmal pullrates... People will hoard sealed product nevertheless.
Exactly and I'm good with that. Keep rare cards rare. I didnt like crown zenith when I realized everyone was getting the "rare" cards. Stopped buying immediately.
@@mountainpassmusic6617 I think it sucks in all honesty :) I love Crown Zenith for this reason. If you want rare cards, get some. There are so many rare Pokemon cards that are hard to obtain, limited in number or more. But cards from regular sets should be obtainable for the majority of the community. Especially if a set has more than 30+ secret rares, it just sucks if they are this hard to get, like 1 per 100 packs.
Makes me wonder if the Pokémon Company knew what they were doing all along. Why would they print an Eeveelution in such low numbers when it’s so hyped? Because they knew when the pull rates and the no IRs came to light, interest would plummet.
@@sosiehtsaus I suppose if you collect for the art, and completing a collection that makes sense. It's cool that crown zenith had nice pulls for you. Also celebrations was pretty good too. I just wouldnt want them to that with every set otherwise pokemon card values would be at risk. That's what happened in the 80s early 90s with sports cards.
I love the switch up from the very first opening and him absolutely going crazy over the pokeball cards. Now he treats them as just an everyday holo (which they were to begin with😂)
Funny how he’s frustrated and says this set is unattainable, and yet he’s cracking 200 packs in one session prerelease. I appreciate the content, but you can’t be mad about getting product, when you’re getting product.
Oh it’s typical RUclipsr behaviour. He has to moan about how the set is unattainable just so his viewers don’t get too salty, like he has to pretend like he cares.
I’m personally boycotting this set, I will not touch a SINGLE booster pack of this set, it is trash what the company has done(nothing) to address the demand issue. It’s not the fault of scalpers and resellers, they’re just doing their job (trashy but not their fault).
Don’t blame the player, blame the game.
appreciate ya being honest and not fluffing this outrageous set
Hard to not show the truth when you can literally see how bad the pull rate is.
I just had the most perfectly timed ad🤣🤣 it went from Rev saying “I don’t think people are gonna wanna pay $10-15/pack” into an Acorn ad “They’re worried about paying their rent and buying groceries…”
Kinda feel like Evolving Skies when the factory workers stole the rare cards instead of putting them in the actual packs.
Damn, that really happened?
Not with evolving skies, it was fusion strike
There was a picture going around where a dude had a pile of moonbreons and rayquaza vmax’s on his lap in his car. It hasn’t been proven that there were any evolving skies theft but that pic of about 50 each of those cards is pretty damning
@@kevinvermeiren7575Evolving skies had the worst pull rates ever
Feels like the worst part is even if you just want to buy a single pack at a retailer, you can’t. The shelves are always empty
It’s still wild to me how the prices are so ridiculously high despite the set not even being released yet.
For real tho
And pokemon company is laughing at them. It's good though gotta keep rare cards rare.
That’s most of the problem. Just wait til the release day
Also the thing i don't understand, is how can anyone know what a single pack is worth when this is a special set and they don't sell single packs of these
They made the set too good and the good cards too hard to pull. Add in the Masterballs and it's the perfect storm of hype.
Prismatic Evolutions is really Evolving Skies 2.0,bad pull rates but big bangers,only difference is that it is a special set.
That's what I'm thinking, worse variety though. If pull rates turn out to be roughly 1 illustration rare per 150-200 packs with an Eeveelution per 250-350 packs it may actually not be AS bad as we initially thought. Still, not my type of set to open up even at msrp. Too much potential for getting a card in PSA 8-9 condition to be opening 300+ packs
@ Hopefully the pull rates aren’t as bad as when it officially releases.
And it’s far more mediocre art than ES.
Or Fusion Strike 2.0 with SIRs stolen at factory
@@Z71Ridah True.
This set better get the crown zenith treatment or we are cooked.
I think we’re Cooked regardless tbh
whats the crown zenith treatment? i left this hobby during lost origin, and got back into it during surging sparks.
@@NOV4EVR I don’t disagree u there :(
Set is 100% cooked. Crown zenith at least has amazing pull rates. This set is just utter garbage with these rates. I already started collecting the japanese versions, I'm just not even touching English at this point.
@ printed into oblivion pretty much
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 90s and have the pure experience of just grabbing the base set original packs and following releases with no anxiety just joy whenever I would see one in the store and beg my mom to let me have one❤
Ill be sticking to Festival... at least I'm guaranteed an sar in every box
@newjones1754 not everyone just cares about how much a cards worth but instead just likes the cards
@CatBack94 EVERYONE cares about what a cards worth. It determines whether someone is willing to risk/reward buying packs or buying their favorite from a card-con. or ebay. If you truly don't care what a cards value is, why not just buy the fakes at a massively reduced price or if you "just like the art" then print the image from your PC and stick it to a cue card.
"Because I want the real thing, I play Pokemon TCG with my friends"
Lol, no you don't.
Everyone cares. That's why everyone in here crying about the cost of a pack compared to the pull rates.
@@Byebye12345bye I only care about the pretty pictures tbh and also I buy singles and also I like to open packs and also who cares. Imagine investing in pokemon cards lol
@@BodyBroker yeah, I’m literally just collecting for the cheaper sets now because I love the IRs in the SV sets and I don’t care about investing. I freak the heck out if I pull a very valuable card, but I still keep it for my collection and probably won’t sell them unless I eventually leave the hobby behind
@@jessicamagri8211 same, just pulled a zeraora from some stellar crown i bought today and was like oh man beautiful love it. Otherwise I buy japanese packs and english SAR and SIRs singles.
If prismatic evolution is going to get this far out of hand just imagine what happens with the new team rocket set and trainer/ gym leader set
Team Rocket is going to blast off! 😼
So many people keep saying this. As if Eeveelutions were some small niche that not a lot of people actually care about. Like... what?
Why should some random Gym leader cards trump this?
Team Rocket, maybe. N's Zoroark? Who really cares?
thats why I was thinking of saving my money for that one instead of buying this one
@@spleancrush same I've already spent $600 on terastal festival ex and finally managed to pull the Umbreon ex SAR. If I buy a prismatic evolution it would just be one box and id never open it.
@@neuderk100 I might get some later on if they ever become cheaper lol but for now will save up for team rocket.
Next video suggestion: Show us how much of the set you completed by opening all those packs, 3 binders, normal, pokeball holo and masterball holo
With the high prices and low pull rates I'm happy just watching people open packs.
I usually disagree with rev on his ideas, and annoyance of not making money back, but this is completely understandable. It is insane how bad this set will be for everyone, and I’m glad he is spreading awareness of it.
A probability of 1/2000 means that for any single booster pack, there is a 0.05% chance of pulling the Umbreon. Many people misunderstand probabilities and think that if they open 2000 packs, they are guaranteed one Umbreon. However, probabilities do not work that way - each booster pack’s odds are independent of the others.
If you open up enough, it would get very close to being statistically improbable of you NOT getting it, without accounting for external factors like them being weighed or resealed or some sort of batching issue, but there's no way to get it to 100%.
Unfortunately, the amount of packs youd need to open up is....
Does anybody know what the rates are in the Japanese packs?
The first box I opened, I got SIR silveion
@@craigchilman3649Japanese boxes have a guaranteed SAR/SR
Probabilistically, if it’s 1/2000 and you open 2000, you have a 63.2% chance of getting Umbreon.
@craigchilman3649 in Japanese your guaranteed 1 SIR every Japanese booster box so 1 every 10 packs but you can also get 2 in a booster box so the hit rate in very good for the Japanese set. The English set is a sick joke.
You're the #1 soldier on the fronlines of dumping on the prices and availability of these sets and trying to open cards. Thank you. Hopefully Pokemon just goes wild on printing this set and everything comes back down to normal.
Thanks for the vid rev 🔥 always keeping us up to date
At this rate pokemon center etbs will be traded for kidneys
I have a seeled case. I'll trade it for your car😂
Pull rates are so bad if someone pulled off a organized theft at the printing factory i wouldn't be mad props to it and round of applause.
with how this set it going i really respect you opening it. so many people are just reselling because it’s an instant 4x which is absolutely insane
16:08 im so glad rev is showing his frustration. This set has to be the biggest disappointment from the Pokemon company. I really wish the whole community could band together and decide to leave em on the shelves and force them to fix pull rates
The amount of hype on the set and the amount of new people flowing into the community will make this impossible
The solution to this is to stop making special illustration rares, etc. There's no functional need for them. It's purely to encourage this type of behavior. They want this to happen.
Boycotting Pokémon would be a massive feat to accomplish but probably would do some good for everyone... definitely would hurt the scalpers, if no one bought anything.
the pull rates are normal for scarlet violet era. theres just not that much to pull. youre either pulling an sir or basically nothing. no illustration rares and no full arts.
Easier said than done. Dont forget. Human are selfish. Lol
Thank you for your awesome content! New member here! My 8-year-old son and I love your videos! He’s the one who got me into Pokémon, and honestly, I think I’m more into opening packs than he is now.🤫
We used to get so excited finding new booster packs at the gas station near our house-my husband used to tease us about being “too into it.” Sadly, he passed away a couple of months ago, so those little moments feel extra special now.
I love the special bond my son and I have over all things Pokémon, and your videos always bring a smile to our faces.
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
This content creator is all about the money. Nothing to look up to.
@@jeremyhoffman5655 Stfu, she was trying to say something positive and you just ruin it, YOU'RE the problem buddy.
Thank you for you story!!!! Keep rip’s packs
love the vids pokerev even if i can't get packs ill still enjoy watching u open them 😁
this jackass and other youtubers that are a scalpers and buy everything, are ruining the hobby for the real pokemon fans, is sad, because this set is so nice and this people only matter value of the cards. Shameful
@@Criss1295 PokeRev has been doing this for a while though, and things have never been this bad in the market. So maybe RUclipsrs are part of the problem, but I think the two biggest problems are the scalpers and the people buying from the scalpers due to FOMO and hype
it's still very nice to see that so many people are beginning to care so much about Pokemon cards again
Pokemon tried to make this set the biggest hype to start the year and it’s just become one of the most disheartening outcomes. Like what were they thinking?
Greedy scumbags is what they are. With their 9 packs per etb.
Completely agree, so disappointed I’m questioning if I should even bother ripping any
what a trash set. the sars are the ONLY good cards here, and even then they look like rip offs compared to swsh alt arts.
They're trying to make money, you see 😮
bro, that's sad that prismatic evolutions has such a hard pull rate, i thought this set would be fun to open
english sets just ruin the fun of pokemon. Japanese set has guaranteed SIR in every booster box, so 1 in 10. It makes it fun for kids that go to store they have 10% chance of getting it from a pack there, and makes collecting the full set for rich ppl way easier. English set is just sad to watch ppl open
@@Wakuihonestly I prefer japanese rates, I wish all rates were like that. An SAR gaureenteed in an etb would make them so much better than they are now. Honestly etbs have been lacking.
I have a theory that in order to curb the scalper problem, the first batch sent out will have low pull rates.
lmao that would be funny ngl
Idk why they would do that but it would work
Pokerev is a scalper and you are still see his videos
@Criss1295 no he isn't? Scalpers buy and resell at a much higher price. He buys and opens for his channel.
@@Criss1295 pokerev is not a scalper lol, you are delusional if you think he has managed to 'scalp' this many packs already. he has admitted to having direct access to a top-level distributor
Thank you for buying these opening them and letting us know that the hype is way more than what the reward is. I’m just buying Pokémon cards for eight year-old grandson. He happy with what ever I get him. Pokémon card seems you can go into deep debt. It’s like gambling.
These pull rates are insane... Super insightful video! But the tech sticker blister promo cards are beautiful, at least those will be guaranteed lol
bro is literally proving that he is apart of the problem lmao
true
Exactly
meaning?
Lmao if you think 200 packs that he got from his distributor is “part of the problem” … you have no idea how much stock a local game store gets. He’s not buying out the shelves at Walmart. This comment showcases so much ignorance.
@@eski___7435🍆 rider 😂
when prismatic evolutions first got announced and i heard about it, i was super excited to be able to buy the ETB and get my hands on booster packs. now with the reality of the supply and demand struggle, inflated price, and low pull rates, i’m probably only going to buy a couple booster packs, and hopefully scope out lower prices of specific cards i want from the set. it makes me really sad though because the way i normally collect the cards is buying a few sets, and then going for single cards. the reality of the market right now seriously sucks and im just hoping the hype around tcg sets levels out over time so the next sets released wont follow this trend
Miss the days when I could walk up to the card shop, everything was in stock and I could buy any product I wanted. Those were the days i miss
45 minutes and 57 seconds of Prismatic Evolutions? I am here for it! ❤❤❤
Also love the Iron Crown pulled at 21:44
1 minutes of actual eveelutions though!
The thing that’s confusing is that I’m fine with 32 SIRs since they all look beautiful, but make the pull rates of pulling a SIR be in a ratio of 1 out of 18 packs (or one SIR guaranteed in two elite trainer boxes). Just like the Galarian Gallery Vs, Vmaxs, and Vstars were in Crown Zenith.
Or keep the pull rates the same, but have around 12 SIRs (all the eeveelutions plus a few trainers and Pokemon) like Twilight Masquerade or Surging Sparks.
This is not surprising. Eventually this is gonna catch up with all the scalpers and they deserve it.
No it won't. All the smart scalpers have already offloaded.
@@F0XD1Eseriously lol
This is what you scalpers get im glad pokemon did this. I hope they always do this at the beginning of a launch for a new set make the pull rates hard at first and lean up a little a few months down the road
Hard pull rates high-priced singles that's exactly what's going to happen with this
people are gonna sell this Embryon for six or $700. People are gonna eat it up and in a month from now the price will drop way down. Still gonna be a crazy expensive card but nothing close to what it’s gonna sell for the first week it’s out but no matter what people are still gonna pay double triple point
Hope I win the giveaway
It's already been happening.
@@jamesa.paintingjap.7777 Umbreon is gonna be 1000+ Minimum if the surging sparks pikachu is damn near 500
$6-700? LMAO I'd buy that right now eyes closed. Try $2k. I could sell my Japanese for $300 right now
Thank you for taking all these bad packs out of circulation for us PokeRev, you truly are a man of the people lol
everything i hear about this set just makes me more sad about the future of card collecting. it's really unfortunate how scalpers are taking advantage of the true hobbyists
Its genuinely ridiculous how no matter how bad the pull rates are, the scalpers still wont lower their prices
I don't think he noticed the Fan Rotom at 31:25 was a Master Ball. lol
Indeed 😂
I was like "omg wait that's a master ball" 😭
Think he pulled a sylveon masterball too right before the sir mask.
Why would he notice or care. He only looks for the sparkle cards that people care about, he sees them as another reverse card.
can we see behind the scenes like where do all these cards go?
Glad you're calling it out, Pokemon needs to hear about this mistake of a set as loudly and as often as possible.
If they can throttle the pull rates and people still buy the sh*t that’s not a mistake on their part 😂
I go by the saying " If you'll get it, you'll get it, regardless of the percentage, if you buy one pack or 100 packs of booster packs. You'll get it if its meant for you. " that logic helped me a lot in not falling into gambling. On top of that, if you just want the umbreon badly.. instead of spending 3000$ on booster packs just.. buy them. They're roughly the same price for all 9.
More like pessimistic delusions
Prizmadness?
Thats why I spent all my money on the Japanese Terastal Festival ex boosters boxes because the pull rates were so much better. I pulled the Umbreon, my friend got the Sylveon and my other friend got a god pack with all of the eeveelutions so honestly don't understand why anybody would buy into the English version of this set.
I was excited to get some of these cards, but today as of now I am just sad makes me wanna sell my collection and move along.. If this is how its going to be for every new set and the prices goes up no one will be able to buy packs.
Ditto I was just getting back into it pff
The market is insane, mix that with pull rates and this is gonna make the cards even more unobtainable regardless of if you buy or pull them
Im going to GameStop next Friday with my mom to buy a etb or booster bundle , so excited
Mine got them in last week but they are not allowed to sell any till this Friday. Only allowed to buy two total on ETB's.
Booster bundles won't be out for another month. Only etbs and sticker 3 packs available poster etc
@ yeah, when I called mine said that too definitely gonna be a long line
@@Jeffstoyspokemoncars dang
Good luck to you and your mom. You and everyone else will be there trying to get products on release. Better be first in line otherwise they'll be gone. Promise you that. Too much money to be made from reselling. That's what most people seem to care about with this set atm. It's truly sad times in the hobby rn.
Those SIRs were definitely stolen off the manufacturing line. This is unacceptable
That would make sense. However, THIS time, if I WERE the person that did it, INSTEAD of trying to sell ALL at once to 1 vendor, I'd send 2 of each to PSA every month. Maybe 5 if I'm pushing it, but definitely not 10 of each. Too suspicious. And I'd sell 2 of raw to different locations to get money to cover the grading costs etc. EASY profits with no repercussions
Japanese box is worth $90 bucks now. Better off purchasing those instead.
Shhhh 🤫
Don’t worry, doubt scalpers are here 😂
@@iron.350 I hope not! 😂
and plus they cards are usually in better condition, they look cleaner too
really all the jap boxes were way over 90 at my LCS
they probably upped the printing capacity but that just makes scalpers buy out more maybe
Me and my son can't even open any Pokemon cards as of late because everything is being picked clean off the shelves everywhere and I can't even find packs for my 6 year old son. I got back in to the hobby at the start of Sword and Shield while introducing my son to Pokemon and it sucks because watching him open the packs brought me back to my childhood when it all started. Just really sucks to see that this is what's happening to the hobby. Its been made to be about money and no longer fun or nostalgia or what ever genuine reason other people collect. To tell my son there are no Pokemon packs for us to open sucks so bad. I can't afford to spend 15+ dollars each on packs. Guess me and my son have to move on to a different hobby if something doesn't change. Anyway we love watching you Rev. We are at least blessed to have your videos to enjoy and for that we thank you.
If you're open to advice from strangers - Stop.
You're in a way normalizing this kind of extreme gambling to them - This is not what the hobby is supposed to be about. Nobody should be paying $1000-$2000 for a single hit. That's the kind of habit that absolutely sticks with you as you grow older and warps your perception of monetary value.
Or they can teach them its a fun hobby and to NOT go overboard you dunce there is 1000 ways to have a healthy hobby and to translate that to kids. @@SuperSekula
@@bryonwithay There's nothing healthy about $150 for 9 packs that will more than likely have nothing exciting in them.
@SuperSekula like a 6 year old will know the price. And like you can just open them for fun there are pricy cards all over the place
You dont have to buy packs in store. You can get Shrouded Fable etbs for like 35 bucks. So there are packs out there and your 6yr old son would be happy opening them unless its not really about them 🤣
Bro, you have been crushing it with the content recently. Vids have been nice and long. Entertaining while educating.
Yep, we going to get screwed lol 😅 might as well stick with the Japanese.
Thank you so much Rev for always being so transparent with the community about the state of Pokémon cards right now.
I am hopeful that Pokémon takes this feedback and starts to move this big boom in a more positive direction (I did see that they made an official announcement about it, so that makes me happy that they're aware of this situation and not just brushing these issues under the rug).
I am definitely keeping all the items I have on pre-order sealed though with how the pull rates are right now.
Not only does Japan get the sets earlier but they also get better pull rates 😢
Are there signs, or news there is any tampering from the factory?
This has to be happening
Something seems off. Price, pull rates.. he needs to contact them to ask what is going on.
@@121Corey121 i dont think so. they probably just returned to SWSH 1/70 SIR... and theres what? 32 SIRs? its just a greed set, much like evolving skies. i'd hope that after the previous factory incident it wont happen again for a long time
With an umbreon on eBay with 124 bids and 7 hours left at $18,600. It's the most insane set ever. I would love to rip a master set, but it would cost over $100k, most likely at current prices. Looks like this set will be unobtainable for me. I can only hope the few packs that I open up will have something of value.
There’s no way the buyer submits payment for that one. It’s a shill bid meant to raise the prices.
There are a few other auctions over $2000 which is still ridiculous, but more likely to be legitimate than the $20k one
Would love the pack and enjoyed the video 😂👍🏻👍🏻🔥
Fast forward to 32::40 to avoid watching a Rich guy cry for 32 mins straight while opening free packs that he got a week before public release (the views pay for all this)
4:40 your video did not freeze
I fear that this is only the start and it will get even worse as the years go on.
Either Pokemon company will do something about all this or they gonna lose tons of collectors. Scalpers will scalp and hoard but there won't be anyone actually buying. it's not sustainable for a long run.
@@DivinePoniesthey aren’t doing shit because idiots FOMO and give into scalpers
this jackass and other youtubers that are a scalpers and buy everything, are ruining the hobby for the real pokemon fans, is sad, because this set is so nice and this people only matter value of the cards. Shameful
@@Criss1295 you are stupid if you think this guy managed to scalp this amount of product in such a short time. he clearly has access to pokemon distributor. could even get them for free from TPC
Gotta do what they do in Japan and print over demand and include guaranteed SAR/SIR per box
I just got back into pokemon card literally 2 months ago from watching just 1 of ur videos and now I've wat he'd them all...tnx for all the content knowledge and entertainment
*Hey thats me* 1:30 😆
At this pull rate, the set’s retail price seems way to much.
Retail is okay, resale is not
0:58 bro pls gimme the scalpers are ruining it for us casual collectors
Begging won’t help
This is my only chance of getting any prismatic evolutions packs! Everything in my area was pre-ordered and sold out before I even walked in the doors of every store that sells Pokemon in this town.
PRAYERS FOR EVERYONE IN LA COUNTY!!!! MY EMOTIONS WERE PULLED IN A WAY I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE AFTER SEEING VIDEOS OF WHAT'S GOING ON. STAY SAFE AND TOGETHER 🙏
ooooo stickers 0:56
Wild to see people physically fighting over these packs.
Love seeing your videos and how you're always up to date, honestly always have your video since start of my pokemon card journey with my partner.
I managed to find some poster and binder sets at target after watching your live stream. I didn’t get much but it was fun. 😅
To get any pulls from this set you’d be working harder than a fan in a funeral home in summer
Unified Beatdown on the Terapagos pretty much says it all for Prismatic, I think.
I’m so glad I was able to secure two PCT’s for the set
Thanks PokéRev for keeping it real and saying things maybe alot of people don't want to hear, Pokémon is for everyone BUT these prices, demand, pull rates are really hurting everyone and especially kids.
Wow, this is tough to watch. I have opened a total of 14 packs (1 ETB and 1 Poster collection) and somehow managed to pull the Sylveon EX SAR. I was so excited but watching this I should have been even more out of my mind!! I think I will call that a big win and wait for prices to settle down before opening any more 😅
