I just want to know where all the “don’t buy into the hype” people are right now. You know, the people saying it was stupid to pay $140/box. Where are you now?
Not saying buy at the high $200 prices. I do say if I’m opening I’d buy ancillary products. And 170 and below is what I’d be buy ing boxes at “ if you have to have them” I also preface that I WANT big a reprint so it’s more accessible for everyone.
No doubt, I didn’t include you into the cohort of people I was talking about. You’ve been consistent and balanced in your approach. I realize that comment seemed aimed at you and it was not. Of course, it’s generally good to not buy into the hype, but an honest approach about the level of supply and demand should give the general public a good trajectory to follow.
@ I appreciate that yeah for the most part I definitely don’t like to have to feed into the hype but at the same time it’s hard to ignore raw data when it’s presented to us this way. Definitely hoping for some kind of tweet or announcement from Pokémon stating that they plan on reprinting the set at least at some point even if it’s in the summer of next year or some kind of announcement would be great. Or even ramp up printing even more than they have already.
I enjoy these sets with huge chase cards once in a while, they're good for the overall ecosystem as you said. Opened 3 boxes myself, and managed to pull the Latias SIR. I then bit the bullet and bought the Pikachu SIR for $500 for my master set. This is the first set since Paradox rift I will master set.
Yeah, and realistically, that’s another reason. Why a lot of people do tend to just go ahead and purchase because they don’t wanna have to constantly keep up with the price and worry about dollars if it’s something they want and just have their collection. They just want to grab it and be done with it.
My lgs just bought the last 6 booster boxes from his distributor for $150 and priced them at $170. He normally pays $97. His first drop on Friday were $115 - $120 and sold out that morning. Was told his distributor can’t currently get anymore
@@BoosterBrad do you know which distributor they use? That’s insane that the distro would charge him 150 for the boxes. It must not be one of the major distribution companies.
No not sure. He is a smaller shop that deals in sports and trading cards. Also have a local large card shop that charges full MSRP for every drop and last check they had a decent amount of booster boxes left.
I must be one of the last to get a booster box. Placed my order on 11/15 & confirmed by Pokémon Center. I was surprised that it still was in stock when I ordered.
There’s no way surging sparks is going to get ANY reprint ANYTIME before 6 months from now. Like Chris said pokemon has to print prismatic evolution, the trainer set, AND the team rocket set. PLUS pokemon has to reprint some of these older scarlet and violet sets first (imo) we’re gonna go a long while before surging sparks gets a big restock in the US again and by that point this box will hit $220 plus
I honestly think it’ll be 220 within the next couple of days. And I could see them doing an emergency printing and possibly getting it to us by the spring unless there is just another way that hasn’t gone out yet to distributors which is also possible it’s very possible that there’s just product that is supposed to go out that hasn’t this has happened in the past before, but it’ll get absorbed by the demand so quick.
I am on FULL TILT, I have 2 sealed cases of booster boxes, 1 case of pokemon center ETB and a sealed case of ETB's and I am considering just ripping them cause i am on FULL TILT
@@richardmontoya5817 don’t do it my brother, I have 2 booster boxes, 2 Pokémon center etbs, a normal etb, 3 blister 3 packs, 2 booster bundles, and 4 sleeved packs and I think about ripping it every day then I just watch peoples pull rates and hold myself back lol, but hey if you really want to yolo, just leave 1 booster box sealed for your collection
Don’t buy it it’ll go down once they reprint too much it will die down after Christmas once all the pikachu hype is over and Christmas is over but all least the sellers are making profits lol I’m not buying no booster box. Don’t get ad at me guys u do what u gotta do it’s your money 😊
I don’t disagree. I think there will be a time rule be much cheaper to grab when there’s a reprint. The problem is is I don’t think they could hit us with a reprint anytime soon, so it could be almost 8 months before we see a price drop in the set depending on what happens with the current stock
Where do you think prices will be by Christmas ?🎉🎄
$420.69
$250-350
$250 around give or take $20
the pikachu SIR is still climbing!!! i dont see it dropping at all even though the rest of the set has dropped. Everyone loves pikachu man
@@kendrickoppisite4319 it was at 650 3 days ago. Then back down to 475. But it will likely climb again now

I bought in at $150 lol
That's crazy because my local game store has booster boxes for 120 bucks all day

It's already $220 a box in Canada, but it's all sold out.
Think that gold pika was best investment it was $40 pre release and now its over 100$
Similar situation happening in Singapore Pokemon Center, Day 2 all are sold out except the sleeved boosters. This is crazy
I love that I got in at $105/bb. I only got 7 boxes, but it sure feels nice that I didnt pay double.
@@acash6570 feels good to win that way. 🔥🔥
Well whatever the prices may rise, I bit the dust and bought Milotic at $81. I want it with Feebas so now I don’t have to keep monitoring anymore lol

Wow, crazy how this happens. 😮
Yea. Really hoping for some kind of announcement from Pokémon
Man really wishing I snatched up the pikachu SIR for $250 launch day when I had the chance

@ I completely agree. If it’s anything short of a legit BIG resupply/reprint it’s gonna be absorbed so fast and will dip the price at most like $30 😭
eff this set, I have opened 65 booster bundles and best thing i got was 2 of the SIR stupid ant. Set is definitely not worth ripping
Defff think the ancillary products are the way forward o go when it comes to ripping right now with current prices.
But I feel you
I am on FULL TILT, I have 2 sealed cases of booster boxes, 1 case of pokemon center ETB and a sealed case of ETB's and I am considering just ripping them cause i am on FULL TILT
