I bought two booster bundles for $24 each at my local card shop! Going to be opening them in December! I might even pick up a couple more before then as well! 😊
I pulled two of them from 100 packs, 1 from a booster box and the other from a 3 pack blister (UK different stores). They're both on their way to PSA - I think they're both 9's, one has a chance of a ten but we will see. Tuesday morning - Its at $581.50 on TCG player...
I bought a few sleeves, got some decent pulls. Waiting on two etbs and a booster box. The Walmart and Target near me were sold out before the day was over it was nuts
Booster box was the best for me. 14 hits 1 SIR and 1 Gold Pika (very good). Then I ripped 31 packs 1 of every product. Plus PC ETB. 10 hits but 2 were ace specs 3 were regular EXs. Doubled up on 15:14 IR’s. And the 1 full art I already pulled from my booster box lol so I didn’t make up much ground. Booster box was for sure better. Products were from all over Best Buy/Gamestop/Meijer/Pokemon Center.
I don't think this trend of going back to evo skies pull rates is a good thing. Opening packs might not be the way to go then. The pull rates should be a little better I feel.
I haven't opened packs since Evolving Skies. It was the only set I opened where I could sell the bulk and the good cards pulled and make money, so after that set I just stuck to opening a few packs for fun and buying single. (I was opening Evolving Skies when booster boxes were $95 shipped and 144 ct blister cases were $525 shipped.)
Got 2 PC ETBs. Kept one sealed. The one I opened had an SIR Exeggutor, Pikachu ex, Cyclizar ex, Latias ex, Exeggcute caricature, full art Black Kyurem, and a gold Jet Energy. I’d say it was a decent one. ETBs are usually ass for me
ive been seeing every post pulling the pikachu BUT i was thinking... no one posts the bad pulls but everyone posts the Hits... and never how many they had to go through to get it
Great video! Our local card store had some ETBs the day of release. Other than that, we haven’t seen it elsewhere and I bet the store sold out shortly after we left😂 Looking forward to the next Surging Sparks live stream.
All I've heard is there's a wave 2 confirmed in Australia for Feb-Mar. Idk if this also applies to other countries. Product is sold out everywhere here and everyone is scalping for ~$250-280 AUD. The large retailers have boxes still, but they are that price also.
Made a homemade booster box 2 days ago , 36 packs from broken down products, etbs & bundles, no SIR , just a Pika full art , Ceruledge IR and Lisia (full art not SIR) , today I got 1x 3 pack blister from Walmart and pulled Hydreigon ex SIR
I pulled the latias ex and sold it immediately on thought of it dropping so i could use that $ to finish off 1st ed vintage, its still steady 180!! Crazy Found single blisters at walmart night before release Target and best buy in person never had any the day of or after release Gamestop had plenty day of release, but sold through a ton of it. My LGS had it all in stock, Target online has 3 pack blisters for 15, just sold out of booster bundles. Best buy online has the booster bundles for sale as of typing this, limit of 5.
I received my 4 booster boxes and 3 Pokemon Center ETB's on Friday and only opened 1 Booster Box. Best hit was the Alolan Exeggutor Gold Full Art card. 13 hits out of 36 packs so nothing crazy. Hopefully can pull one of those Pikachu's in the remaining 141 packs lol.
i think surging sparks will be like a flash, there and gone, while i think prismatic evo will be the next crown zenith. I did crack one of the pc etbs out of the case i got in hopes of a pikachu, but the rest are sitting pretty for the moment.
What’s the difference between Chunkachu Vivid set and Surging Sparks? Want to get some extra information before buying more than an ETB or sleeved packs
I ripped all types of products and the only thing that gave any decent pulls consistently was booster boxes. I pulled 3 SIRs from boxes and 0 from anything else. Edit for clarification: I opened a booster box case, pulled pika, hydreigon, and lisias appeal SIR and latios IR. Opened 2 PC etbs, 6 booster bundles, 4 regular etbs, a bunch of sleeved packs, 3 packs, and checklanes (total around 200ish packs), didn't pull a single other SIR or latios IR. Did get gold pika and gold jet energy though.
Have not had good luck with booster boxes on this set but pulled my two chases the Latias and latios from an etb and booster bundle respectively. Still looking for 1 pikachu
My pull rate has been horrible. I opened 24 sleeves packs and pulled 2 AR and one EX. Your box is definitely have better pulls than mine. This set is unreal hard to pull anything decent.
I'm glad the SV era is starting to get the recognition it deserves. The IR and SIR cards have incredible art and the pull rates feel way more forgiving than the SWSH era
Bought one ETB from my LCS. Pulled the Milotic SIR. It was really the only card I was looking for. I don't like the crowns. One and done for ne on this set.
When do the breaks go live for sale? Always missing them. Opened 3 PC ETBs and pulled two Latios, two Drasna, Exeggutor fully, and the Drayton SIR. Could have been worse
I pulled the Latias SIR on my third box. Still no Pikachu but it's so expensive and packs are fairly cheap still so might as well try to hunt for it lol
Two Wal-Marts, one Target, one Local Game Store, and one GameStop ALL sold out of Surging Sparks locally as of today!! 😮

I feel like this set has batching issues like 151 did. I've seen a few streams pull a few and some just duds.
Yes I opened 2 booster boxes and it’s a dud
@PackageTotal So like every set to ever exist then?
Got Milotic and Exeggutor SIR in 2 booster bundles...time to retire from surging sparks. Seems like goofy batching like 151.
@@teamsux5687 I opened my 3rd booster box and still got no SIR😭😭😭
My PC ETB was booty. Two EX’s and an art rare. Should have kept it sealed. Needed the promo though 😅

Won’t stop going up somewhere else either
Hahaha every morning I check and it's back up again
@@Exposedpokeymon 3 inches is nothing to brag about cuz :)
@@Exposedpokeymonthat thing is basically scarlet violet moonbreon FOR NOW. it’s followed the same trend as Umbreon vmax lmfao
Gotcha 🎈
Ayo!!!?!?

I pre ordered an ETB from GameStop. It’s supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait to open it

I think the gold pikachu will rival the rainbow pika.. so that means the SAR pika will rival the moonbreon. IMO
It just might go bigger
10 years in the pokemon game … single pack blisters are the way to go .. or booster bundles . Not booster boxes !
As of right now, the SIR Pikachu is over $500....it's 7:35pm on Monday the 11th.
How much wood u pay
Some bids are now above $700 USD
I tried doing preorders from different stores and regions to avoid batching
Did it work lol, feel like north east coast batching has been rough last few sets
booster bundles & etb pulls have been pretty ass for me

Bro I still can't believe it, I pulled 2 Pikachu SIRs in less than 150 packs. Odds of that must be insane
Post the pics dude, love to see them.
I’ll buy 1 😂
My son and I pulled 2 in less than 50 packs. Both were from 3 pack blisters.
batchin is real
Same me and my wifey pulled one each in back to back booster boxes so 2 in 72 packs couldnt believe it :O

No charizard bringing this set down. Surging Sparks way better then S&V 151 imo.
all sold out at my gamestop in CANADA
Sold out most places I have looked. Not surprised with the hype.
I’ve had a horrible time with the etbs for this set! I don’t know if I can put myself through that again
My whole sv run of buying them has been terrible. Pretty much never get even an illustration rare. Don’t really have the money to buy booster boxes.
@ i had amazing pulls at first but now I’m on a drought been having fun buying singles lately
I’ve opened 4, got two SIRs, the other two had one IR.
@ jealous! 🙃
Print quality is not decent though. In Denmark product seems to be fairly available at mrsp
Made a homemade booster box 2 days ago , 36 packs from broken down products, etbs & bundles, no SIR , just a Pika full art , Ceruledge IR and Lisia (full art not SIR) , today I got 1x 3 pack blister from Walmart and pulled Hydreigon ex SIR
Happy Monday. Step off. 🎉 All the tubers have hyped this set.
How many Latias SAR’s did you pull over the weekend?
my thing keeps going up when Ryan posts
I pulled the latias ex and sold it immediately on thought of it dropping so i could use that $ to finish off 1st ed vintage, its still steady 180!! Crazy
Found single blisters at walmart night before release
Target and best buy in person never had any the day of or after release
Gamestop had plenty day of release, but sold through a ton of it.
My LGS had it all in stock,
Target online has 3 pack blisters for 15, just sold out of booster bundles.
Best buy online has the booster bundles for sale as of typing this, limit of 5.
got the pika out of the second pack i opened the other day
crazy to see that price go up up up
Is it worth it to grade a raw pikachu sar? or better to just sell while its hot?
Roll out was so slow that NZ release date for moved back till 15th.... not got my hands on any yet and all card stores pre orders are sold out!
LETS GET IT KEEP GOING NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAAAAAA NEVER QUIT!!!!!!

I mean it's true that Evolving skies didn't skyrocket in the beginning. But that set is by far better with way more beautiful cards
The prices might not drop much depending if the pull rates stay as low as they seem so far. We shall see but its crazy for sure
I ripped all types of products and the only thing that gave any decent pulls consistently was booster boxes. I pulled 3 SIRs from boxes and 0 from anything else.

Did get gold pika and gold jet energy though.
When I pulled my first moonbreon it was still selling around $250. That shit is wild.
Crazy prices... Don't think they will last!
I’ve heard it’s easier to pull, but you opening as much as you have… 1200 packs for 1 is wild.
Box now 200 and pika around 600 to 700+
Have not had good luck with booster boxes on this set but pulled my two chases the Latias and latios from an etb and booster bundle respectively. Still looking for 1 pikachu
Pika to the mooooooon
My pull rate has been horrible. I opened 24 sleeves packs and pulled 2 AR and one EX. Your box is definitely have better pulls than mine. This set is unreal hard to pull anything decent.
The fact that the chase cards are actually REALLY playable/meta in decks make them even high price. They're not just "pretty rare cards".
It's crazy how this is going. At this point, you can't find anything at a decent price. Let's go Pika !!!
Not sure about the Pikachu hype. Give me that Ceruledge. Check out the lore on the card. Pure epic.
i opened a sparks etb and booster at release no sir in either but everyones pulling crazy stuff how it goes sometimes
Great vid! Haven't bought any sparks yet been holding of and waiting for the next special set to hunt those eveeloutions sylveons!!
The ceruledge is pretty sweet
Seems like there's batching issues.
I don't fully understand the hype around the card tbh. Like I get pikachu, but like what?
11:35 nice
Something else won't stop going up when I'm watching your vids Ellen. It's slithering under my desk.
For a truly meh Pikachu 500. Crazy.
It has to be because it's a twerking pikachu
It’s a beautiful card, your opinion isn’t a fact bud
@@Kcpvvy15No one gave a remote shit about the crystal hats until this card. Its a Pikachu full art with some grass. Its mid as hell
Idk it’s pikachu!!!!!
Neither is yours ?@@Kcpvvy15
I'm glad the SV era is starting to get the recognition it deserves. The IR and SIR cards have incredible art and the pull rates feel way more forgiving than the SWSH era
TPC ETB didn’t impress us too much, though mine and the FIANCÉS (thanks CTR) first pull was Latios SIR
I really don’t think it’s going to drop! We opened a case and 6 ETB’s and haven’t pulled the Pika yet!
How long are we thinking scarlet and violet sets are gonna be around?
Pikachu hype is real IMO… artwork is cool and could be playable
Bought one ETB from my LCS. Pulled the Milotic SIR. It was really the only card I was looking for. I don't like the crowns. One and done for ne on this set.
Love the opening and pulls, crazy how expensive that Pikachu keeps going!
Still waiting for my pre order of 2 booster boxes, hope the supplier sorts it out soon, set looks amazing!
Bought 2 booster boxes, one to keep sealed and 1 to rip. and 1 booster bundle.
As dope as it would be to get Pikachu I'm also hoping for the Latias ✨
Cheers to everyone!
3 booster boxes and a bunch of booster bundles, got 2 of the lower SIRs and a lot of illustration rares but no big pulls
That’s what she saiddd
I personally had great luck with stellar crown 3 packs.. so im alil worried about hitting the surging sparks 3 packs.. 😖😖😖
When do the breaks go live for sale? Always missing them. Opened 3 PC ETBs and pulled two Latios, two Drasna, Exeggutor fully, and the Drayton SIR. Could have been worse
I pulled the Latias SIR on my third box. Still no Pikachu but it's so expensive and packs are fairly cheap still so might as well try to hunt for it lol
Crazy price on this Pikachu
Loving surging sparks can’t wait for prismatic evolutions 🙌
I opened 1 Pokémon center ETB and got all but the gold Pikachu.
Hope I can get my hands on this set
Opens two ETBs and pulled the Milotic and Archaludon SIRs
Bought one booster bundle pre-order from Pokémon centre. Got the bad boy Pikachu!
Pikachu price seems pretty crazy. I like the milotic personally I think that’s the nicest SIR
love this set. had my pikachu sir on the first boosterbox 😂. just pulled a squirtle from a stellar etb
I only ripped 1 booster bundle and 1 3-pack blister and pulled Sylveon ex, regular pika ex, and regular alolan exeggecutor ex
that Ceruledge art goes hard imo...but Milotic SIR is so beautiful, hope you can get it on Weds
Latias latios are both nicer than the pikachu to me.
Finding 151 is really hard to find.....I have a feeling Surging Sparks will be the same
I have not seen the Surging Sparks in stores yet.
There were there the got got lol
You mentioned Gold Pikachu but the SIAR is nearly $600
Gold Pikachu now over %100, Latias over $185...crazy
the pikachu sir is pretty sick to be fair but yeah i haven't seen prices that high on a newly released card before
My PC etb pull rate seemed the same as any other etb
Luckily Prismatic will have a ton of product releases, I think it will be alot like Crown Zenith like Danny said in his video.
