Rudy making this one video probably did more for Weiss sales than all of Bushiroad's marketing in the last decade
Doubtfully, there isn't a ton of sealed desirable affordable products out there
@@delbomb3131 Yeah anyone who wants to get the early attack on titan sets are basically priced out as the have gone up so fast in price.
@@delbomb3131 ⁰
First time I'm ever hearing about the game, so I'd say so lol
Weiss doesn’t know what their doing with marketing
Instructions unclear. Bought out kird ape
Rudy's green screen game is on point today
Wizards is determined to turn Magic into Weiss Schwarz, so Rudy just said "F--- it, I'm all in" and bought the actual thing instead.

His success stories are everywhere 😱
I'm a living testimony of Fred Meyer
It took me 3 years to get into FaB.
I'll see you in 3 years, Weiss
I don't think fab is that old
@@thai33oz it isn't
You must be on the fab design team bro.
@@thai33oz lol you don’t get it 😂
@@swagopenings6369 I really don't
I've been playing Weiß for 7-8 years now and love the game (mostly playing Japanese) and seriously hope you can give this game some exposure. It's not dead or anything, it's been around for 13 years now and won't go away soon, but the English (playing) community still has room for growth. Happy to see you aboard, I just pray you won't regret it in a few years because from my experience while the boxes are tightly printed, rare to find and thus pricey after release, the demand for it of many of the sets just isn't there. Don't expect huge gains like from MTG or FaB and you will be fine.
Would love to see some unboxings again too! There aren't any well made unboxings of the game on YT and I'm sure it would be a blast to see you unbox a $500 SP card on camera or something.
I am worried about my bang dream cards.... what if bangdream franchise is over?
@@ktaehee BanG Dream is one of the biggest franchises in Japan right now, even the English cards will definitely not die for many years to come.
@@nightwalk4681 actually, I own Japanese roselia cards, and I am worried that roselia will graduate within a year.
Do you play against japanese people? I really wanna get into this is it popular in Japan?
@@MM-mn7dg It's mostly my local community in Vienna (Austria), or rather was. Eversince COVID hit, my LGS which has been hosting official tournaments every Friday night for over 7 years in the past, just decided to shut down the support for the game in 2020 since the licensing costs have been rather pricey and as they focused more on tabletop gaming that brings them more money, it just wasn't worth supporting anymore which caused the scene here to unfortunately die down a bit. But in various Facebook groups I can tell the 15-20 people I used to play with are still getting the new sets they're interested in and stuff. It's a for life thing, it seems and I am the same. I don't think I'll be selling my blinged out Madoka Magica, Fate or Gurren Lagann decks any time soon.
Now for Japan, the game is still HUGE and they have events all the time and show off the new IPs they are collaborating with. There is a MARVEL set coming out soon I think or maybe it's already out. The game will still be around and celebrate the 20th anniversary for sure. Japanese are loyal and passionate about their shiny collectibles, their games, and their anime, video games, and visual novels. If you want to try it out, please don't be discouraged by people saying it's a dead game. That's far from the truth. It's a great game and I hope you will have a lot of fun if you decide to give it a shot!
Everyone is focusing on Weiss while Rudy buys up all the metazoo.
He already did.. that's why you can't find first editions out there for cheap anymore lol
Metazoo.
Jesus Christ.
What a legend. You either die a Timmy or live long enough to become one.
This may be the greatest comment I’ve ever seen on a Rudy video
you´re a madman
Did you catch the sly "when I retire in a few years" mention? This man has more money than he knows what to do with. So he's just buying everything he can get his hands on for the lulz.
No Potential in Europe. 0 Boxes were sold on eBay Germany this week.
This. It's dead in the Benelux as well...i don't see this doing much in Europe
Unlike the USA in Europe the anime and weeb culture isn't as mainstream and as such it doesn't have that big a following to support the game. Unlike, pokemon or yugioh who were huge successes at their launch, and that momentum carried them.
@@staurosmenexes7295 yes and no, France is the 2 bigest manga world buyer, we have a lot of convention based on japan, we have one of the biggest companies of luxury anime figures BUT card games don't work a lot in europe, it's very, very niche outside of the big 3 ...
Flesh and Blood for example is only supported by a single store throughout France and some European countries do not even.
@@lucasbalog7440 But Ruby says FaB is a world wide phenomenon smash hit with markets that demand service! He wouldn't intentionally mislead people to line his own pockets. Blasphemy!
The bigger problem with europe is some of the games and media that are being licensed... well.. some of the games are at odds with EU law.
Weiss Schwarz is a short term gain, long term as the shows loses traction and interest the product of interest and price goes down.
I came across kancolle cards a few months ago then you started talking about it. Glad to see you talk about it and thank you for your knowledge.
lol u scared me at first when u said u were going full on Love,Live xD now that I see u actually have top anime series , can't go wrong with JoJo , Konosuba and Overlord , they all have really strong fanbase
im new to WS and all i can say is i hope this and all the amazing people in the community can make this game more popular
This approach sounds like the direction Wizards wants to go with Magic: multi-IP and limited to-order print runs. Will Rudy follow up with a ragrets video in 2 years time? Seems like a niche within a niche market...
I think more people would get into the game if they could find/afford product. The draw is playing with your favorite anime but if your favorite anime set is going for obscene prices it kind of turns you off.
me and my friend got into this game like 4 years ago since we both really like anime and did enjoy playing the game and sadly i havent gotten back into it since no one near me sells it with the nearest store being almost 2 hours away and if there was i would love it buy this product more. One weird thing i found out when i went to tokyo is just how popular this game is over their, I knew it was more popular over their then here but just how much they love it is crazy, I tried to look and find magic stores or find stores that sold magic and there is plenty that do but they sell so little of it, most stores that sell cards had either just yugioh just weiss or both with maybe a little bit of both and then just a tinny spot at the cashiers showing like 1-4 sets of magic boosters , not even singles just boosters and half the time they were sold out or had maybe 1-2 boxes if your lucky, but man they really do love weiss over their I would see at least 1-5 people on every train ride looking at cards online I dont know if they like or try to get english cards or if maybe in the future they become a bigger hit just because of rarity but dont underestimate how much Japan enjoys this product
Konosuba is underrated, it's hilarious
The product quality is next level, and we do have customers who love it (massive animoo fans), but sales are inconsistent. Still, you can't fault their cards.
yes shin megai tensu, very hot series
play a real shin megai tensu game
MAY THE SCHWARZ BE WITH YOU!
In 1 year we will see "how I lost 1 million investing on this dead game"
Lol
Weiß is already 13 years old lol
The game isn't going anywhere but I see some brick sets in the background.
Ignoring the dead game part, from what I see in the background he's holding onto dead sets
At best he can make a profit off F/GO, Madoka, and maybe Memory Snow. But sets like Mob Psycho, Jojo, Legend Of Crimson are pretty much dead sets. You cannot hodl weiss sets for long. Bushiroad will reprint and trait lock newer sets to prevent any interaction whatsoever.
Actually, with Madoka Magica and Magia record it's not an actual revisit, but Madoka was a HUMONGOUS hit 10-11 yrs ago and a couple years back they turned it(after receiving tons of spinoffs) into a mobile game set in the same area but with original story. It received an anime in winter 2020
and today they announced a new Madoka movie which is definitely going to bring out a Weiß set as well. Cannot wait!
i realized instantly that WS booster boxes are scarce compared to other TCG and so i bought what i could find = instant profit
Never thought I'd see Rudy finally record a video with his face in focus!
I remember seeing sleeves with waifus on them in Japan. Starting from $20 going up to $200.
Its a strange market, but amazing.
As a big fan of Weiss, I was surprised there wasnt more investment stuff going on.
However, the product evaporates after a few years and almost every single booster box goes up atleast 20$ if its even available easily anymore.
Sadly, Extra Boosters were slightly better off... But not as much anymore, I miss Nisekoi EBs being 15-20 :'( Hell even the TDs went from 8-12 to 15+ which is insane...
Although on the SPs argument, I probs will just stick to old booster boxes (if buying old boosters becomes viable again which it sadly probably will not with almost all of them bought out). Or just stick to singles...
For me most Booster Boxes I open are Barely if they even are profitable, and the chance on SPs really spice it up.
Ive only pulled 2 of them out of my 5-6 booster boxes. But those 2 have covered my costs of Booster Boxes, ignoring all the cool SRs, RRRs, and RRs I got.
(Foremost Mage, Megumin and Righteous King of Knights, Saber)
Also JKTCG seemed to be one of the few people buying hundreds of Booster Boxes at a time, which would help inflate and make boxes more mobile.
Gotta admit, I am a sucker for KonoSuba. Bought a few Weiss singles through that route.
I played a LOT of Weiss in high school, and unfortunately the reprint policy is a huge barrier to the game, where if there's a series you love, if you missed the boat, there's no chance of getting it for a decent price (case in point, Persona 5). Interesting to see where you go with this game. I love the game a lot, but from the seller side, I'm very curious.
I only recently got into Weiss but from a collector standpoint. I was going to collect Konosuba but saw the prices (even a few months ago) were too much for me. Decided on Disgaea instead and it seems I got the cards cheap before the surge that is beginning to happen. Cards I picked up for $30 are now being priced at $120. Japanese booster boxes I got for about $15 now priced near $100. It looks like I got the last card I needed/wanted just in time...
The one with the lead character that pays homage to berserk, they just announced a second season to the show, cards from that set look great.
Pokémon Company in Japan also did this kind of pre-order method up until literally a couple of months ago. Now distributors get an allocation number of X many cases and they can say yay or nay, it's screwing up the whole process for most stores who have done this pre-order method thru distributors for many years
Force of Will follows the same model since 2-3 years ago.
Doesn't Vanguard also follow the same printing principle?
Soooo if you're preordering product and not selling it, does that make bushiroad make more than they would have thus inflating the production run?
How can we try it if you're hoarding a substantial amout of retired sealed product?
Welcome.
The first thought of Rudy working on it for months was *I have created a pyramid out of taco bell party 12 packs*
Definitely the best investment Rudy has ever made. If you don't have a million dollars in Love Live and ReZero Weiss Schwarz cards sitting around, what exactly are you doing with your life?
Well I am all in! I have officially spread my portfolio over to Weiß too! It is actually a really cool game and plays quite smoothly. I was skeptical at first, just like with FaB but realized it is a cool game!
Step 1: Build TCG Position Step 2: Make Rudy Video Step 3: Profit
i recently bought some jp weiss schwarz sets - bofuri and quintessential quintuplets. funny story - the second box for each, i pulled an SP card. (thug life)
Fuck. The envy is setting in
omg @Alpha investment noticed me
Part of the problem is that a lot of these fandoms fade over time. They may be rare to begin with, and become rarer over time, but prices are ultimately driven by demand.
Konosuba is stupidly popular and quality stuff fetches for a premium. Figures I bought two years ago for $150, now go for $500 to $700 depending on condition.
Usually the things taken for granted are the most valuable.
I just got in to Weiss Schwarz last month. My first deck is Mob Psycho. I'm still missing quite a few cards. How do I contact Rudy for some boxes?
That’s crazy.... you have made two videos like a week after I look into stuff.... I looked into Metazoo a week later you made a video... priced me out before I could get info on.... looked into Weiss cards.... and I couldn’t figure out what was what so could pull a trigger!!!!
Pretty sure he's onto something here. Definitely a longer play. We will see the fruits of his position in 3 to 5 years imo. Good job Rudy 👏
As a fan of the Weiss Schwarz since it's launch in NA, and now supporting the game as an official judge, I really value your fresh and mature opinions on our game. I'm excited for any future content on the game!
There are two Madoka Record sets because one is for the mobile game and one is for the anime adaptation.
Rudy I hope you have trial decks of Nazarick because I've been chasing that SP in particular!
I love the part of every video where Rudy says no one is probably watching right now... Secret Lair: Alpha Investments 😂
Rudy, you should really check into Vanguard if you're interested in the Bushiroad games. It has/had (since covid) the largest US tournament turnouts for Bushiroad and has an anime for marketing.
Because of it's licensing and eternal tournament format/ no ban list Weiss's secondhand market maintains more value for collectors/ investors which is what he is interested in.
@@TaskuWright What is it about the licensing and tournament format that holds it back?
Mtg should just release two sets a year and increase the prices, more people would be interested and the cards would be worth more imo.
Bought a couple of the Nazarick boxes as a way to support the IP. Was a fun opening, a lot of the art seems almost like they screen capped scenes from the anime.
Same with the Fate Zero set. Some of the art is intended to be screenshots.
Yeah, that's the thing with the game: the premise of "reliving" some of the most iconic scenes and moments form your favorite games/animes. Some people like the idea some don't...
I only own a few starter decks of Weiss Schwarz, but I missed a few sets I wanted when they came out because I thought I could just get them at a later date... boy was I wrong. Watching your videos on it have been very informative and I hope I can find some No Game No Life and some That Time I got reincarnated as a slime someday
Selling how much is ordered exactly months before shipment. Thought he was talking about secret lairs.
@Alpha Investments why is Rudybot trolling?
@Rudy can you please do a video on whether Pokemon or Magic has the most hard to spot counterfeit cards?
Bought 4 booster boxes at 60$ and 2 starter decks of FGO when the set came out since Im a huge fan of the game. Made a deck from the booster boxes but I wanted to fix it with more cards now that I've use it for a while
I went to tcgplayer to see how much they were and these things are going for over 100$ :^)
Next time Ill buy 10 boxes just to make sure I dont have to go through this again lmao
If you're just starting to get into the game and see a set you want to play I highly recommend looking online for people that sell playsets.
Will be much cheaper and let you build any deck you want in a series.
He released that video on April Fool's day. I thought it was a joke!!!
I dunno... I feel like this is if someone said in the 90s they bought 1mil worth of Don Russ, Fleer... "Desert Storm" military sets... and other weird card brands that are pennies on the dollar today.
Frozen Bond is an Extra Booster set. It's got 50 different cards in set instead of 100. Someone please let Rudy know!!!
This will be the day Weiss skyrockets in price!!
I'll believe it when I see emojis everywhere.

I patiently wait for Rudy to start pumping final fantasy so my yolo collection will stonk, not stink . 👉👈
Don’t mention opus 11

How much are you selling the Konosuba boxes for?
Will this man's investment be able to stimulate Bushi EN, get the community back together and reintroduce voice actor signed cards to EN or will his efforts be in vain...?

Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z
No way you seriously flexing on me and everybody like that? You're a mad man Rudy you should know I only expect a whole pump n dump but wow we have hit new levels of absolute ALPHA!!!
Get the brokers to hold inventory. Genius!
Good for you Rudy and ignore the haters
Shin Megumi Tensai, excellent taste Rudy
Bitcoin is to magic as Dogecoin is to Weiss
What do you all think about dbz score?
If someone said they require orders up to 4 months before the product ships, and that's the print run, my first guess would have been secret lair.
Love your videos, thanks for making them!
Hoping the RE:Zero stuff goes on Friday night sale soon!
Hardly keeping up with investing in all the magic releases..Can't even think about other games..
I dare Ruby to push on those boxes. Obviously he won't since he just purchased a bunch of empty Weiss Schwarz cases.
He does
Not even that, it's most likely just a green screen.
That is all real.
@@Pewpewpew182 Just like "birds" are real, right? Wake up sheeple.
@@TheAluminumMan lol
You are free to look up what I do for a living bruh.
Have a great night.
Enjoy your tin foil theories. They are entertaining :)
You are right. I didn't watch that late into the video.
I too have started investing in this product.
Haven't played Weiss in a long while, but im pretty sure the movie and OVA themed sets do worse. That's why konosuba and rezero are so cheap despite being very popular series.
That’s kind of interesting. Didn’t know they had a anime card game that features a bunch of different animes.
There are also video game based ones as well as the odd off shoot like Godzilla and Star Wars.
@@TaskuWright are they separate card games or is it apart of one game like this one? That’s the only reason I am kind of fascinated by it.
@@infernodtw2423 Same game. One of the tournament formats, also the main format when I played, was decks can only comprise of one specific series. For example, your deck can contain all the cards from the 4+ Persona sets, but cannot contain any card from other series (Fate, Jojo, etc).
@@infernodtw2423 All the same game, you can normally mix any sets in the same universe/ continuity to make a deck but any series can play against any other.
Think of it as super smash bros for anime/ games in a card game.
There was a major Japanese tournament some years ago where the finals match was a Darth Vader themed Star Wars deck vs a Kemono Friends deck just to give and idea of how over the place the game can be at times.
Rudy is a man of culture.
can i buy Nazarick box rudy?
ah i also want the first print run.. you know the high coveted print runs on every product. because reasons. :D
I also started collecting WS cards but i try to buy only japanese ones. Don't ask me WHY...
How big is his basement!?
Cavernous. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a team hollowing out the entire state of Florida as we speak.
Inb4 Florida is already hollow.
it's a multi-story basement
next buy the card game precious memories !
lol
That first print hololive stuff is actual gold I am sad I didn't grab any
Nazarick looked like Overlord...is that the original name of that anime? Love that anime!
Its the same thing. Due to US licensing reasons, they had to change the name of Overlord to Nazaruck.
@@manny4247 Very cool, didn't know that. Thank you =)
Im over here eyeing the pre-orders for Seven Deadly Sins. Ends on the 27th and can't decide if it's worth the effort.
English exclusive sets have all been traps/ bombs so far.
CCS, Batman Ninja and Mob all popular series but all poorly designed gameplay wise which cratered demand outside of collectors.
If you're going to do it I'd advise not getting much.
JoJo always be popular and/or have cult following especially among English players vs more obscure anime, etc brands, so I don't think you could have enough of those really.
Also Nazarick stuff is cool. Did some googling too and my hopes are real with this brand, Guilty Gear was a set they made, but looks like years ago, so...good luck to me find any of those xD
@@alphainvestments6141 Oh awesome, you can hook me up Rudy? Wait a second, this isn't a taco it's a burrito, from Canada...and this box of Guilty Gear cards is just full of...some toilet paper, strixhaven art cards and used cat litter...I...I'm starting to suspect this is a fake account!
how do I get a million dollar to buy cards?
Where do i buy weiss schwarz?
Didn't take Rudy for a Persona fan that's nice to see
Pause at 15:03 dude's hand is resting right on her... you can't tell me that was not planned.
Is there any way to get some from you????? Need some of that! 🥺
Loved the first season of Mob Psycho 100.
@Alpha investment Hey Rudy. Whats the code for man?
Do you sell any of the Weiss cases
Holy moly it says jojo in the background, what kind of product is that rudy? TELL US!
Like Rudy tried to explain in the video, Weiss Schwarz is a Trading Card game for 2 players. You can make your deck from any expansion/set in the product line represented by an anime/manga/video game, etc, and play against someone else's anime/manga/video game deck. Your deck normally can only consist of cards from one IP. So you could build a Jojo deck and play against someone's Jojo deck, SAO deck, or AoT deck, or Fate/stay night deck, etc. That's what makes the game popular, all those IPs together in one place, on cardboard.
@@raztokk1510 thanks for explaing some more depth for me! I saw the box first minute in, and had to comment. but Rudy didn't explain much in terms of TCG, so thanks!
I buy the Project Diva stuff and that's it.
knowing about the anime community and which shows are actually popular and which are just this month's hot sauce. that time i got reincarnated SPs will be worth thousands by the end of next year, and adventure time might take some more time, but its fucking adventure time, cmon, any kid that grew up in the 2000s would LOVE to own a Finn, the Human trading card signed by Jeremy Shada.
Anything madoka magica based only goes up. I have some figures and other merch from back when it came out and it's all only gone up 2-3x + in value. Some more niche\unique items have gone to the moon even. It was one of if not the most popular series of the last decade (2010-2019). 2 movies shown in the u.s which had the highest anime sales record for a while.
Magia record I'm not sure about. I watched the anime but haven't played the game (cause I don't play gachas). But it's related to the original so that helps it.
Really surprised konosuba wasn't popular. I know it was slightly more popular in the west than in Japan but I know it was still very popular series.
I have no idea about weiss swartz but everything you said here makes sense from a collector stand point.
