@@erinn1730 i've seen people go in debt to master set 151... 😰 like proper, unmanageable, irrecoverable multi year debt. Opening cases and cases of 151 to pull every card. I get taking on *some* short term debt to get product and hopefully sell in a year or two to make your money back and then some, thats okay, but owing $10.000+ just to open packs and master set something is just bad.
I think Battle Styles is up next this year for a big run. One of the first SwSh sets with Alt Arts and Chilling Reign and Evo Skies are vastly higher than Battle Styles..
Look at the alt arts in Battle Styles and come back to this 😂 I personally love Battle Styles and I'm trying to master it and I'm sure it will "pop off" but even if most of those arts triple in price ...they're still pretty low 😅 the exception being Tyranitar of course
The pokemon outside of tyranitar are not super popular for SIRs but I personally love the set and bought a bunch of it when it was $95 per booster box last year. The pull rates are as rough as chilling and evo skies so it's tough to open, but it's still fun and I love the artworks overall.
Currently, Surging Sparks & soon Prismatic Evolutions. Also, later when it gets released Battle Partners or whatever it's English release title will be, it will be relevant to invest in then. Lastly, anyone can make his/her/they're decisions.
I probably will focus on prismatic evolution ( I'm a big Eevee fan) if I'm buying products but when it comes to individual packs (example sometimes LGS lets people choose sets for their prize packs) I go with battle partners
Same, love Eevee and Glaceon. But given the choice, i'll pick surging sparks over journey together.. and get playable cards from journey together as singles, for my decks
What do you think about Stella crown? Im from the uk too and Stella crown pc ETBs are still available on Pokemon centre so iv just orders a case to put away do you think they will sell out soon in the uk Pokemon centre?
It was hyped when it came out, but didnt live up to the hype tbf.. as soon as surging sparks came out and then prismatic was announced, along with a minor 151 reprint, people just realised there's better sets to throw money at than stellar crown. I accidentally ordered too much stellar crown and don't see any scenario where i sell above msrp. I may have to let go of it below msrp just to have it PC priced, no one will buy an etb at £55 + shipping, when that's what they can get them for on the PC website shipping included.
@Charliee-B it might "do a paldea evolved" and rise at some point, but i can see surging sparks and prismatic PC etb's hitting £400, i can't see stellar crown ones ever doing that, not in the next 3-5 years at least. Personal opinion. I hope im wrong, i'm sitting on 6 of them 😅 but seing the pc etb being the only pc etb still available of the entire SV era. It doesn't look promicing.
I thought people would be all eevee'd out with terastal festival so i thought i could get a decent about of prismatic evolution packs because I love all the eevee's but I guess I was wrong 😅 I guess I'm gonna have to wait 3 or 5 months to get some and not break the bank😭
True. PTCG is the single cheapest tcg to play competitively. Can build any top 8 deck for less than £60. Which is 1/10th of the average Lorcana, MTG or YGO competitively viable deck.
Very different markets and products. Terastal festival booster boxes have a guarranteed hit rate, they are seeded. I don't recall english sets ever having any seeding in their products, there won't be something like "1 SIR guarranteed in every ETB" or "at least 1 pokeball in each booster bundle". That will make: a) japanese singles cheaper, as they're easier to pull. b) japanese sealed product cheaper, $/pack.
Yep, ask around local gaming stores to put your name down for preorders, they may have product limits but most will fulfill your order. As far as walk-ins on the 17th... go to Smyths and HMV early in the morning and ask what time prismatic evolutions will go up for sale. It may be available the moment doors open, or they may have to stock the shelves first and they'll be availabe later in the day.
Just a collector, not a tcg player (yet). Already collecting surging sparks and going for a master set, pre ordered some prismatic evolutions but don’t think it’s possible to collect the entire set unless I sell my house or something lol so I might not do a master set. Not yet hyped for battle partners and think I’m gonna skip on that one.
Tried master set with 151. And it was just 1 set out of 6 sets in a year. I think I'm good, not gonna master set anymore. I just collect anyhow I want.
You said they are doing a “lottery” for the 2nd wave of battle partners? Do we have anymore info on this? Will it be like the special delivery charizard?
I mean I'm seeing surging sparks in stores easily and local small shops are a great bet regarding prismatic and again for the english version of battle partners. For battle partners itself find yourself a trustworthy distributor, Japan2uk is what i use and has got me plenty in the past
Overhyped 😢 they already confirmed we won't get dark pokemon, so it won't really be the WOW set everyone was expecting. There'll only be some Rocket's pokemon, with a little rocket grunt's head in the corner, that's it.
@ from POKEBEACH - …our English set has cut the regular Eeveelutions from Terastal Festival ex. They’ve been turned them into cosmos holofoil promos for our set’s products
@@simracerjoe wait, for real? 😮 it seems strange to not have both the regular half art exs in the set and then the stamped promos as extras. Is that for non ex ones as well? So they won't have reverse holo or pokeball holo either? 😢 so much for the "eeveelutions set"...
@@alexnicolaou3579…people said the same about Fusion Strike, no one gave a crap for 2 years and now they’re wetting their pants over it. Paldea probably isn’t in the same league as FS, and Magikarp does carry it, but I personally think there’s enough depth in the set to do reasonably well overtime.
@@tredici72 fair point. FS moved from "players product" to "collectors product" now, maybe in 2026 after the G block rotates, all the sets from SV base to paldean fates will see a good increase. It was printed a lot too don't forget. Paldea evolved may be the single most printed set of the SV era. I can walk to Game or HMV today and find paldea product behind the counter
Everyone will be broke when team rocket comes out. 😅
For real! I don’t know how people can afford all of this. 😂
If you can find it

Prices are way out of control 😅
It's called Journey Together. How do you not know this!

Only hardcore pokemon fans will care for Battle Partners. Nobody is going to scalp battle partners.

hello i just wanted to know what site do you use to order from japan ? and thank you for sharing so much with us
4:41 Lugia can only be used for 3 more months not even
Lots of tournaments in these 3 months, and this year EUIC happening before rotation.. so it's a big deal
When you buy the Japanese boxes is it from the official website or another website ?
What do you think about Stella crown? Im from the uk too and Stella crown pc ETBs are still available on Pokemon centre so iv just orders a case to put away do you think they will sell out soon in the uk Pokemon centre?

@ what happens when the Stella crown PC ETBs sell out on the Pokemon website tho? Will the promo
Not rise and carry the ETBs?

Literally just bought a box of battle partners because of this video
I ordered all 10 eeveelution sir, but I'll try to pile on packs for team just for fun 😂
I thought people would be all eevee'd out with terastal festival so i thought i could get a decent about of prismatic evolution packs because I love all the eevee's but I guess I was wrong 😅
I guess I'm gonna have to wait 3 or 5 months to get some and not break the bank😭
Tbh, just start PLAYING the actual card game and you will realize how much money you will be saving. You’re welcome.
True. PTCG is the single cheapest tcg to play competitively. Can build any top 8 deck for less than £60. Which is 1/10th of the average Lorcana, MTG or YGO competitively viable deck.
not for me lol, i always end up buying new decks all the time it definitely adds up
Hello how do you think the english release will affect the japanese booster boxes and singles prices?
Very different markets and products. Terastal festival booster boxes have a guarranteed hit rate, they are seeded. I don't recall english sets ever having any seeding in their products, there won't be something like "1 SIR guarranteed in every ETB" or "at least 1 pokeball in each booster bundle".

Any advice for release day Prismatic Evolutions? (In London) 🙏 got a feeling it’s gonna be like Celebrations UPC’s 😂🤦

I’m in the exact same boat, nearly completed SSP I’ve got some prismatic ETBs on preorder but I don’t think I’ll master it any time soon
You said they are doing a “lottery” for the 2nd wave of battle partners? Do we have anymore info on this? Will it be like the special delivery charizard?
None of them because you can't find product...
I mean I'm seeing surging sparks in stores easily and local small shops are a great bet regarding prismatic and again for the english version of battle partners. For battle partners itself find yourself a trustworthy distributor, Japan2uk is what i use and has got me plenty in the past
All of them. Done
TEAM ROCKET
Overhyped 😢 they already confirmed we won't get dark pokemon, so it won't really be the WOW set everyone was expecting. There'll only be some Rocket's pokemon, with a little rocket grunt's head in the corner, that's it.
we will be broke because so many good set cards and greedy scalpers
all
of
them
❤
I heard the umbreonn isn’t coming out as a master ball ?
confirmed it will😊
@ from POKEBEACH - …our English set has cut the regular Eeveelutions from Terastal Festival ex. They’ve been turned them into cosmos holofoil promos for our set’s products

The English set hasn't even been revealed yet. This is jumping the gun so early.
We all love speculation, it's part of the passion for Pokemon and the tcg
Paldea Evolved
Just an anomaly due to magikarp. The set overall is "meh..." and will 100% fall down to "just a hair above msrp" eventually.
@@alexnicolaou3579…people said the same about Fusion Strike, no one gave a crap for 2 years and now they’re wetting their pants over it.
