id say they were below average, no SP no chaos angel no Imsety, the only card worth anything here is diabellestar, but even that can't save this opening and his QCRs were god awful, green gadget and the exodia leg? woo hoooo
The problem isnt really short printing or anything. Its just that the structure of the set now requires you to pull more packs to try and get the chase cards, which is going to bump up the price of singles since anti-consumer practices like this will only result in less people opening and selling these on the secondary market. This is an L for vendors, and thus an L for the consumer. So yeah, its a bad product.
A loss for vendors (who are usually more correctly called scalpers) is a win for the consumer because it means you will probably only end up paying 75% of the price instead of 200+%. Being able to actually open the product for a reasonable price is better for the consumer than something they're going to scalp.
Ok, so I think the reason the sticker says XYZ-Dragon Cannon has a different art is because the art on the tin is the uncensored OCG version of the art, which you can tell by the design of the canons on X-Head Cannon. Weird detail, but it is technically different
@@princemarkanthony500 because the mega tins are supposed to make all of the cards that werent very accessible, easily accessible? its almost like make cards just as hard to pull from the tins as their original set completely defeats the purpose of the tins

Like a lot of products, this feels like two different products merged together in one. You either want the reprints from the last year and couldn't care less about the retro cards, or you're like me and only want the nostalgia bait. I feel like that ends up killing the value of like 80% of the pulls because everyone is going to be looking to get ride of half their pulls. Which makes it even harder to justify paying $22 per tin instead of buying singles.
They so wanted to do some kind of legendary box and put the Retro/retrains in it but weren’t able/allowed to make one for whatever reason which resulted in both being condensed into this one product
I feel like these tins are made more for people like me. People that don't or can't participate in tournaments, but just kinda like to collect the shiny nostalgic cards
Then this is also a bad product because we would've been better off with something aimed specifically at people that want old cards instead of this mix of old and modern

Thank you for the video. I bought three for fun because of the general sentiment around the tins’ massive card pool. I looked at it more as something cool/fun to do, at the suggestion of another creator. Opening packs of pretty looking cards can be its own reward, and I’m more a collector that dabbles in meta decks once in a while. I am now convinced the tins can sense your intent going in because holy cow I was so rewarded. Got 9/10 of the cards I wanted most, and some very lucky rarity upgrades. Pulling the QCR Blue Eyes with the original art probably made my day more than any S:P Little Knight would’ve. That said, ain’t no shame in the buying singles game. Hope everyone pulling from this tin has great luck and, above all, fun.
Edison / goat are gaining popularity so fast. And as a player from that era I love these rarity upgrades to old cards. Couldn’t care less about getting something from the current meta
Yes, but imo it still is a disappointing product. For the tin that was marketed as THE tin for staples, it falls short with repeat packs, and low attainability(I think 3 ppl on TH-cam got sp: little knight. But, honestly, your view is the glass half full. I just think that Konami should do better with their product to actually market something as a reprint tin
@@randomperson-fb4vk I agree, the pool of pulls should be smaller. And maybe only one rarity? Like everything’s a secret rare and a pool of 100 with 3 secrets per pack
It's funny you say Sour Scheduling - Red Vinegar Vamoose looks like a Suship card: in the OCG lore book, they confirm that it is in the same "lore" as Suship. It potentially also references the fact that Shari Red released in POTE, multiple sets after the initial wave in DAMA, since the name and art imply some kind of delay. Shari's flavor text also has the restaurant owner say that they will introduce red vinegar in the near future.
My local Walmart has last year's mega tin for 15.00 dollars. So I broke down and picked one up. I also bought 3 packs of The Rarity Collection 2. This is the first time in over a year that I've purchased sealed products. I got a Quarter Century Secret Rare Utopia Promo from the Tin, and a QCSR Abyss Dweller from the Packs. So I am sad that this years Mega Tin doesn't come with a promo QCSR.
The "someone else might enjoy this" feeling is a big part of what's driven me away from sealed product over the years. I want to open things that feel good to me, not things I have to try and justify the existence of while staring blankly at them later that day.
they did a mistake with the art of xyz dragon, the one in the card is correct it's the gun cannon is censored, but the one in the tin is uncensored which is for OCG, the funny thing is dark magician girl is censored on the image printed on the tin, so yeah they just forgot to censor xyz dragon cannon
I feel if the QCR slot was a promo outside of the pack and we got another ult or possibly another chance at a secret then these would have been better received. That being said as someone relatively new to getting back into the game I do enjoy the product and the chance of getting things I’ve missed in the last year
While I DID want cards like Snake Eyes, and Horus, SP Little Knight, Thrust, they are still extremely pricey and insanely hard to pull. This product is so bad I don't even want to buy singles.
While some people can be excited for the Quarter Century anime cards(though Relinquished Anima is just a good card in general), the product as a whole is pretty much $22 for 3 shiny cards they recognize and a fistful of nothing. They should've pushed these back into a retro product that the Yugioh Retro Games account is about... except for Link Spider.
I bought two tins like I do every year, and was lucky enough to pull a couple of the rares I wanted, DMG and Red Eyes. For the most part, there wasn't too much in the tins that struck my fancy that I'll buy more of the tins, as I didn't play Snake Eyes, and I built my Illusion deck when the cards were cheap for a bit. I will probably pick up some more singles later.
Gotta be honest this feels like it should've been 2 different products. Like, keep the design on one tin featuring anime cards for those collectors. Then maybe a design with current meta cards that has competitive cards like Snake-Eyes & Yubel.
EDIT: Is the BGM at 12:10 a remix of ARC-V OP 3? Is there a name for this version? The dragon cannon art on the card is censored, yet the tin is the original uncensored art. As for the set list for this tin.. They could have easily put the oldschool cards and the Token in a separate promo pack like they did last year's tin. They're missing some rarity upgrades, like the new Abyss Actors.. I was really looking forward to blinging them out.
I used to collect and trade them when I was younger in elementary. I am now 25 and bought a 25th anniversary pack from Walmart (it has 3 Mega Packs). Had a bunch of fun opening them and I knew where I live and without a car I would be alone. I thought on the app I could put the code in and use them. It's ok that I can't; but I think since I never played it before, I will learn to play it on MD and use my deck and/or buy more packs to build it better and play some in-person games if I find some players close by!
3:22 Looks like the art on the tin is that of the OCG. Notice the actual canon barrels on the top of the monster on the tine art. The card has the fantasy blasters ('censored' TCG version, of course)
The biggest grips i have the this years tins are the insane cardpool (400+ cards) and that EVERYTHING worthwhile is secret but also useless cards DMG and tokens.
Because those are the cards that collectors who actually go after high rarity cards want. Collectors dont care about high rarities of meta cards that will become forgotten about in a couple of years. The "useless" tokens and new artwork of dmg will be something collectors will still want for their collections 5 or 10 or more years in the future.
I like the anime centered QCRs, helped me get back into physical cards honestly, but then pulling QCR red gadget was just like "I mean... okay sure" I do wish they were more focused like this would have felt better if it was more focused on the earlier sets and new supports and just stretch out the 25th anniversary for different sets and series. I got one of last years and this years tins, the last one was similarly disjointed but felt a bit better pulling.
Might be a bit late but was able to pick a couple of tins from my local card shop yesterday for £12 each ( $16) (Tuesday) and honestly I was hoping to get the HERO cards out of them since I am a huge HERO player. However in my 1st tin second pack I pulled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon which was a surprise and for a £30 card I made profit on that tin alone. My friends was shocked when I pulled it. I also pulled a Wanted! which was cool as I needed it for a Fire deck I built. Overall I think the tins are I'd say 6 out of 10 as a product but could've been more meta defining cards SP, and had a smaller QCR pool but again I like the design of the tin itself choice of cards could have been better but alright for the price I guess.
The only reason I would buy this tin would be for Dark Magician Girl, Blue Eyes White Dragon, and the exodia pieces. But I’m having a tough time making a decision to get this tin because of all these other cards I’m not really a fan of nowadays.
I went with the same ammount of tins as you did Paul (my OTS was trying to get me to buy a case for 170 but i opted for 4 tins at $17 a piece); and out of the 4 tins i pulled 1 Qcsr Blue Eyes (wasnt excited for soo many anime reprints either but still BEWDs always a fun pull), 2 of the exodia qcsr, 1 chaos angel, 1 s:p little knight, 1 ty-phon, and some other decent pulls (no imsety though, sadface, but overall i think i did okay)
As someone who bought a case. I can definitely confirm that it was not worth it at all. Almost all were qcrs were the same being yubel, black winged dragon, or a gadet (red or yellow. Not even green)
this tin seems so weird q: the 2023 tin was pretty dope, after buying a few i had pretty much all the cards id need for very specific decks, dinos, labrynth, blackwing, runik and so on. the og cards seem cool but overall a more focused box that would lead to some of the new modern decks would have been nicer. think ill be passing on this one sadly
I understand tokens, Blue eyes, DMG, and Exodia pieces cause last tin had only head. But literaly all other 42 QCRs have no place inthere... And these 8 named could indeed just be promos outside packs...
I don't mind if anime or older format cards have QCR, but they could have left it to a specific product for that. In an tin people are expecting reprints of newer cards.
The art of XYZ Dragon Cannon is slightly different as it's the censored TCG version. The art on the tins is the Lost Art/OCG version EDIT: other's appear to have mentioned that already, so I'll just say that the only QCR I'd be at all interested in is Light Stage, and that's due to me being a Trickstar player
I'll take that Link Spider if you don't want it!!! It's good for my Vaalmonica deck after I get Nibd, now I can link off and have an effect monster to link into my Vaalmonica Link!!
As someone who'd only want a handful of cards from this set, I understand the criticism. Though I think many of the cards can be neat pulls for a lot of people; it's just a lot of cards you could pull. Personally, I'd like a few of the Superheavies because they work well in a Superheavy/Tenyi/Swordsoul build. Congrats on the Snow Devil!!
If the qcrs/tokens were promos in addition to the packs, as well as a smaller card pool then I think people would be less upset with this set. Imo I think konami should do several reprint sets rather then one big one at the end of the year
I understand why most rarities don’t change for cards because it allows people to complete their playset with cheaper copies especially when it comes to rogue/lower tier decks. Because who’s really paying out $60 for a playset of Revolution Synchron especially if you just want to complete the deck and play on a casual level.
I got myself a Box with 12 Tins for 140€, so about 12€ per Tin. Which is a great Price for such a Product. But 20€+ is just too much. Anyway it's a shame they mix current and old stuff in these since Rarity Collection 2. Feels very bad to pull Goat or Edison when hunting for these new cards.
It's impressive that they managed to have SO MANY cards and still avoid somehow every single archetype I care about! I was honestly looking forward to the tin, I've been getting into physical Yu-Gi-Oh a bit this year after mostly playing master duel and the tins are pretty and cool... then I saw the set list and man... it's rough.
I bought two cases and I was happy with my pulls. Didn't get everything I wanted but what I got was pretty good. Can be used to trade to get what I want. But getting the alt arts for Raigeki, Harpies and limit removal was pretty neat.
Over here where I live these tins are mega worth considering that 1 tin is the same price as like 3-4 packs of any other normal set, I'd rather have 3 qcr, secrets and ultras over MAYBE 1 secret if lucky
Well, I'm happy you got a tax write-off on this as a business expense. If nothing else, in the name of science, an autopsy, if you will, but in a world that made sense, this product in my mind has been replaced by Rarity Collection so well that it doesn't even make me remember how good tins used to be, but be grateful that Konami themselves have moved on and gave us something infintely better in almost every way. I look forward to Bonanza.
The cards in the UK packs are laid out differently. The first few are commons, then all the ultras, then the secret, then the QCR then the rest of the commons. Wonder why?
In regards to the 'clumping' I have only seen this in cases where people buy cases. Like seen two videos out of like 5 that I have watched for opening where players got cases. and 2 different sets of tins had the exact same 5 holos (secret, ultra, and qcr) all in the same order, same cards. so having 2 tins be complete duplicates of 2 other tins in the case is not fun to see unless it's like the most busted pulls ever.
I bought two yesterday and pulled some great cards. QCR Dark Magician girl, Alt art duster, and a bunch of SR’s that average out at 7bucks on TCGplayer. I think I did good. I was tempted to buy another but I knew I was going to get a Wannabee so I called it at 2

I am now convinced the tins can sense your intent going in because holy cow I was so rewarded. Got 9/10 of the cards I wanted most, and some very lucky rarity upgrades. Pulling the QCR Blue Eyes with the original art probably made my day more than any S:P Little Knight would’ve.
That said, ain’t no shame in the buying singles game. Hope everyone pulling from this tin has great luck and, above all, fun.
I don't know why these tins give off fake AliExpress vibes.
Edison / goat are gaining popularity so fast. And as a player from that era I love these rarity upgrades to old cards. Couldn’t care less about getting something from the current meta
Fun fact about that, they get another rarity bump for QC bananza
Yes, but imo it still is a disappointing product. For the tin that was marketed as THE tin for staples, it falls short with repeat packs, and low attainability(I think 3 ppl on TH-cam got sp: little knight. But, honestly, your view is the glass half full. I just think that Konami should do better with their product to actually market something as a reprint tin
@@ked49 cool, print every card a 1000 times. Make everything as accessible as possible
@@randomperson-fb4vk I agree, the pool of pulls should be smaller. And maybe only one rarity? Like everything’s a secret rare and a pool of 100 with 3 secrets per pack
I love that you pulled many of the cards you guys talked down on during the podcast. Konami heard this and was like, "A CURSE UPON YE!"
As funny as that is. This is just common with these tins.
It's funny you say Sour Scheduling - Red Vinegar Vamoose looks like a Suship card: in the OCG lore book, they confirm that it is in the same "lore" as Suship. It potentially also references the fact that Shari Red released in POTE, multiple sets after the initial wave in DAMA, since the name and art imply some kind of delay. Shari's flavor text also has the restaurant owner say that they will introduce red vinegar in the near future.
My local Walmart has last year's mega tin for 15.00 dollars. So I broke down and picked one up. I also bought 3 packs of The Rarity Collection 2. This is the first time in over a year that I've purchased sealed products. I got a Quarter Century Secret Rare Utopia Promo from the Tin, and a QCSR Abyss Dweller from the Packs. So I am sad that this years Mega Tin doesn't come with a promo QCSR.
The "someone else might enjoy this" feeling is a big part of what's driven me away from sealed product over the years. I want to open things that feel good to me, not things I have to try and justify the existence of while staring blankly at them later that day.
Not that anybody is playing Link Spider anymore, it was overdue for a reprint as it had not been printed since 2018.
they did a mistake with the art of xyz dragon, the one in the card is correct it's the gun cannon is censored, but the one in the tin is uncensored which is for OCG, the funny thing is dark magician girl is censored on the image printed on the tin, so yeah they just forgot to censor xyz dragon cannon
I feel if the QCR slot was a promo outside of the pack and we got another ult or possibly another chance at a secret then these would have been better received. That being said as someone relatively new to getting back into the game I do enjoy the product and the chance of getting things I’ve missed in the last year
While I DID want cards like Snake Eyes, and Horus, SP Little Knight, Thrust, they are still extremely pricey and insanely hard to pull. This product is so bad I don't even want to buy singles.
While some people can be excited for the Quarter Century anime cards(though Relinquished Anima is just a good card in general), the product as a whole is pretty much $22 for 3 shiny cards they recognize and a fistful of nothing.
They should've pushed these back into a retro product that the Yugioh Retro Games account is about... except for Link Spider.
I hate it when Konami doesn’t follow the theme of their Tin . Have yugi and kaiba but hardly any cards they use .
I bought two tins like I do every year, and was lucky enough to pull a couple of the rares I wanted, DMG and Red Eyes. For the most part, there wasn't too much in the tins that struck my fancy that I'll buy more of the tins, as I didn't play Snake Eyes, and I built my Illusion deck when the cards were cheap for a bit. I will probably pick up some more singles later.
It would be great if the tins could be deck boxes with packs inside. Less real-estate taken up for shipping and more utility of actual product.
Emergency was a common in duelist nexus lol
Okay right! I was thinking of Alert! So this is a good upgrade!
The format for the Megatins and rarity collection should be combined.
In Canada paid $30 for one, kept telling myself I'll pull a token what do you know i pulled a token
the link spider had me howling
18:13 epic link spider playback
Can’t wait for a secret rare token and a qcr red gadget I didn’t ask for. Singles all the way.
Gotta be honest this feels like it should've been 2 different products. Like, keep the design on one tin featuring anime cards for those collectors. Then maybe a design with current meta cards that has competitive cards like Snake-Eyes & Yubel.
i got a 25th anniversary dark magician girl that's worth 13 bucks. lucky me
EDIT: Is the BGM at 12:10 a remix of ARC-V OP 3? Is there a name for this version?
The dragon cannon art on the card is censored, yet the tin is the original uncensored art.
As for the set list for this tin.. They could have easily put the oldschool cards and the Token in a separate promo pack like they did last year's tin. They're missing some rarity upgrades, like the new Abyss Actors.. I was really looking forward to blinging them out.
I used to collect and trade them when I was younger in elementary. I am now 25 and bought a 25th anniversary pack from Walmart (it has 3 Mega Packs). Had a bunch of fun opening them and I knew where I live and without a car I would be alone. I thought on the app I could put the code in and use them. It's ok that I can't; but I think since I never played it before, I will learn to play it on MD and use my deck and/or buy more packs to build it better and play some in-person games if I find some players close by!
I bought two tins and the fact that to tokens take the place one of your secret rares is ridiculous
3:22 Looks like the art on the tin is that of the OCG. Notice the actual canon barrels on the top of the monster on the tine art. The card has the fantasy blasters ('censored' TCG version, of course)
There are too many trash cards that shouldn't have rarity upgrades, honestly this set is just rarity collection 2 in disguise 😂😂😂😂
I need monarch qcr konami always forgets this archetype
The biggest grips i have the this years tins are the insane cardpool (400+ cards) and that EVERYTHING worthwhile is secret but also useless cards DMG and tokens.
Because those are the cards that collectors who actually go after high rarity cards want. Collectors dont care about high rarities of meta cards that will become forgotten about in a couple of years. The "useless" tokens and new artwork of dmg will be something collectors will still want for their collections 5 or 10 or more years in the future.
The 25th anniversary reminds me of the New Orleans Tricentennial here where i live that started in like 2018 and lasted 3 years.
These tins are so fucking bad that they could have removed all of the 150 commons and the set would still have 100 commons.
I like the anime centered QCRs, helped me get back into physical cards honestly, but then pulling QCR red gadget was just like "I mean... okay sure" I do wish they were more focused like this would have felt better if it was more focused on the earlier sets and new supports and just stretch out the 25th anniversary for different sets and series. I got one of last years and this years tins, the last one was similarly disjointed but felt a bit better pulling.
Once I saw YugiohCardMarket's stats comparing the pull rates of the 2019 tin to the 2024 tin, yeah it seems very bad 😢
Might be a bit late but was able to pick a couple of tins from my local card shop yesterday for £12 each ( $16) (Tuesday) and honestly I was hoping to get the HERO cards out of them since I am a huge HERO player. However in my 1st tin second pack I pulled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon which was a surprise and for a £30 card I made profit on that tin alone. My friends was shocked when I pulled it. I also pulled a Wanted! which was cool as I needed it for a Fire deck I built. Overall I think the tins are I'd say 6 out of 10 as a product but could've been more meta defining cards SP, and had a smaller QCR pool but again I like the design of the tin itself choice of cards could have been better but alright for the price I guess.
Would like to pull that C62 Neo Galaxy-Eyes but the pull rates are so against it I'm not sure is it worth it
Honestly as cool as some as those cards are…. I think I’ll stick with buying singles on TCGPlayer. But I might buy one just for the tin alone
to be fair i cant wait to buy a few QCR pankratops for like $2-3 a copy
Out off curiesity which way would be better to get Yubel card this tin or Phantom nightmare set
Paul, you're the chillest Yugituber. 💯
The only reason I would buy this tin would be for Dark Magician Girl, Blue Eyes White Dragon, and the exodia pieces. But I’m having a tough time making a decision to get this tin because of all these other cards I’m not really a fan of nowadays.
Now that you pulled the Nemleria search spell, you should play Nemleria. 🤣
I get this just for the tin and I wait for the price to drop down to 15, what can I do with the 25th quarter century and 2022 tin
I went with the same ammount of tins as you did Paul (my OTS was trying to get me to buy a case for 170 but i opted for 4 tins at $17 a piece); and out of the 4 tins i pulled 1 Qcsr Blue Eyes (wasnt excited for soo many anime reprints either but still BEWDs always a fun pull), 2 of the exodia qcsr, 1 chaos angel, 1 s:p little knight, 1 ty-phon, and some other decent pulls (no imsety though, sadface, but overall i think i did okay)
3:20 Whats different are the cannons
As someone who bought a case. I can definitely confirm that it was not worth it at all. Almost all were qcrs were the same being yubel, black winged dragon, or a gadet (red or yellow. Not even green)
this tin seems so weird q: the 2023 tin was pretty dope, after buying a few i had pretty much all the cards id need for very specific decks, dinos, labrynth, blackwing, runik and so on. the og cards seem cool but overall a more focused box that would lead to some of the new modern decks would have been nicer. think ill be passing on this one sadly
also seeing digit jammer in here is super disapointing, i think i have probably 20 of them from the last tin, why include that again?
Mega packs are just 2002-2006 yugioh random cards in one pack. Archetypes really sold the whole buying 2 or more boxes for a decklist.
XYZ- dragon cannon is uncensored in the side of the tin
Ygo has fallen off
(All those QCR, +tokens could
have been in a Promo pack)
I understand tokens, Blue eyes, DMG, and Exodia pieces cause last tin had only head. But literaly all other 42 QCRs have no place inthere... And these 8 named could indeed just be promos outside packs...
I don't mind if anime or older format cards have QCR, but they could have left it to a specific product for that. In an tin people are expecting reprints of newer cards.
The art of XYZ Dragon Cannon is slightly different as it's the censored TCG version. The art on the tins is the Lost Art/OCG version
EDIT: other's appear to have mentioned that already, so I'll just say that the only QCR I'd be at all interested in is Light Stage, and that's due to me being a Trickstar player
My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card is the Dark MAGICIAN girl
3:25 from looks of it it's uncensored version on the tin. Focus you attention on x-head cannon's...cannons.
Okay I see the difference now! Had me lost there lol
I'll take that Link Spider if you don't want it!!! It's good for my Vaalmonica deck after I get Nibd, now I can link off and have an effect monster to link into my Vaalmonica Link!!
I run it in Mokey Mokey
Not getting any Tokens is a relief😅
I was actually excited about the gadgets XD. Just picked up a play set of all 3.
I bought 6 tins in 2 weeks time. And got some nice qcr cards and a token and a dmg, still wanting jubel, and xyz dc. But got yellow, green gadget.
As someone who'd only want a handful of cards from this set, I understand the criticism. Though I think many of the cards can be neat pulls for a lot of people; it's just a lot of cards you could pull. Personally, I'd like a few of the Superheavies because they work well in a Superheavy/Tenyi/Swordsoul build. Congrats on the Snow Devil!!
The only time i buy the boxes like this is when they get discounted, i have a ton of the mega pack 24s since my walmart cut the. To 15 bucks a box
If the qcrs/tokens were promos in addition to the packs, as well as a smaller card pool then I think people would be less upset with this set. Imo I think konami should do several reprint sets rather then one big one at the end of the year
I understand why most rarities don’t change for cards because it allows people to complete their playset with cheaper copies especially when it comes to rogue/lower tier decks. Because who’s really paying out $60 for a playset of Revolution Synchron especially if you just want to complete the deck and play on a casual level.
I got myself a Box with 12 Tins for 140€, so about 12€ per Tin. Which is a great Price for such a Product. But 20€+ is just too much.
Anyway it's a shame they mix current and old stuff in these since Rarity Collection 2. Feels very bad to pull Goat or Edison when hunting for these new cards.
It's impressive that they managed to have SO MANY cards and still avoid somehow every single archetype I care about! I was honestly looking forward to the tin, I've been getting into physical Yu-Gi-Oh a bit this year after mostly playing master duel and the tins are pretty and cool... then I saw the set list and man... it's rough.
I bought two cases and I was happy with my pulls. Didn't get everything I wanted but what I got was pretty good. Can be used to trade to get what I want. But getting the alt arts for Raigeki, Harpies and limit removal was pretty neat.
My best pull was the alternate art Feather Duster. It was fun to open a couple packs but this is not a money set
I’ll get two tins just to have them. But the pack art is so plain it’s crazy
Over here where I live these tins are mega worth considering that 1 tin is the same price as like 3-4 packs of any other normal set, I'd rather have 3 qcr, secrets and ultras over MAYBE 1 secret if lucky
Well, I'm happy you got a tax write-off on this as a business expense. If nothing else, in the name of science, an autopsy, if you will, but in a world that made sense, this product in my mind has been replaced by Rarity Collection so well that it doesn't even make me remember how good tins used to be, but be grateful that Konami themselves have moved on and gave us something infintely better in almost every way. I look forward to Bonanza.
400 cards in this set is ridiculous
The cards in the UK packs are laid out differently. The first few are commons, then all the ultras, then the secret, then the QCR then the rest of the commons. Wonder why?
I almost spent $15 on one of these the other day at wally world. I denied myself the privilege of a minutes worth of dopamine
In regards to the 'clumping' I have only seen this in cases where people buy cases. Like seen two videos out of like 5 that I have watched for opening where players got cases. and 2 different sets of tins had the exact same 5 holos (secret, ultra, and qcr) all in the same order, same cards. so having 2 tins be complete duplicates of 2 other tins in the case is not fun to see unless it's like the most busted pulls ever.
I bought two yesterday and pulled some great cards. QCR Dark Magician girl, Alt art duster, and a bunch of SR’s that average out at 7bucks on TCGplayer. I think I did good. I was tempted to buy another but I knew I was going to get a Wannabee so I called it at 2
I bought 5 tins hoping to get a Chaos Angel (which I didn’t) but I didn’t hate my results. Especially because I pulled 2 SP Little Knights 🙃
Only thing I want from the tins this year are the upgrades for my superheavy samurias so my bikes, etc will no longer be common.
Hey, I love your videos man id love to see some local games that would be really cool to see.
