Cause some of us don't give a fucc about opening, it's a investment. I don't go to the 2 decc table to have fun, I go to turn 100 into 3k and then I take 400 to the 6 decc table to have fun.
People that buy off the scalpers are a bigger part of the problem. Why feed into them. Why would anyone with any logic pay $85 for the zenith box, basically $6 per pack now. Nothing in that rayquaza box is exclusive for it to be $85 and can be pulled for cheaper. The only benefit was the pack to cost ratio but buying from the scalpers removes that one and only benefit. At that point just buy the etbs when they go to $40 elsewhere.
The only thing I'll say is this is one of the FEW time's paying double is okay. If you don't have a Sam's membership that's the price you pay for getting it sadly; if you don't like paying double then GO GET A SAMS MEMBERSHIP! It's worth it honestly and it's cheaper than a Costco too usually. Otherwise if it were released EVERYWHERE and people are scalping then I would dig into that hard. Now if you are having issues getting them at Sam's I do believe the limit is still too high so that doesn't help at all. Definitely should be a max of 3 per order per customer. This way you can open 1, collection 1 for the sealed collection, and display a 3rd in your background haha.
My parents who are retired and live in Florida have a Sam’s club membership went to their local Sam’s to check for me on release. There was an unopened pallet of them and they asked someone to help. They store helper was wheeling into the back and someone else came and actually purchased the whole pallet as they were waiting for a couple boxes. They saw the guy and asked him for just one for their son and he said “no these are for my business” My father wanted to slap him
Hey I love promos. I have a promo binder. You can have a lot of cool cards and they tend to be not to crazy expensive to get. It's an easy and fun binder to chase on the side while you open product to get you more niche binder like alt arts for me. I'm trying to get all SW and SH promos, lots of eeveelutions in there for the eeveelution lovers.
I couldn't pick up any online, but my Mom got two in the store. They weren't out on the floor, but they were on a pallet on the very top of one of their tall shelves. They were extremely nice & insisted on getting it down with a forklift for her to grab a couple.
Some Sam's got them in 2 days ago. Keep checking. The initial 96 ordered will likely arrive before the 30th. Then the 190+ will likely arrive on the 30th. They won't likely arrive at once. There were 2 orders. 96 was the 1st batch that was delayed. Then another 190+ is the 2nd batch. Keep calling each day or check for yourself.
Yeah I work at sams club and got some crazy cards from these. My wife pulled the top 2 cards in the set. Praise God ! made my $160 back within the first pack. Here in Texas in our store we have some still sitting on the shelf. Well at least as of yesterday.
I went searching for this product today at Sam's Club. No luck but they did have Heavy Hitters Premium Collection (Fall 2023) - Miscellaneous Cards & Products (MCAP) instead. Lucario V & Tyranitar V. Still 39.98 and the pack spread was 6 Silver Tempest, 4 Lost Origin, 2 Brilliant Stars, 1 Astral Radiance and 1 Fusion Strike. Maybe this is an even better mix then Crown Zenith. Curious what your thoughts are. Thx
I’m a big fan of the promo cards that came in this set, so if I can find one whenever they come back out I’m going to get one. I’m not paying 75+ for one of these boxes though
Well you were completely wrong about this. These bundles are still available online and in store. Took a little longer due to scalpers but then they realized these are being mass printed. Also the per pack cost is $2.86 and not “under half of market value”. You took an L on this video
Pokemon has been releasing everything in waves lately. Hopefiully these boxes will be available in-store soon and then the third wave of restock will come right before Black Friday.
thats a cool looking gift box. reminds me of the good old days of playing emerald version and getting rayquaza in that crumbling tower. those were the good old days. ill probably never find one of these in the wild considering i work all week and all the stores here are jam packed on the weekends.
Personally enjoy the promos, i think i just like the accessibility, people tend to give them away at events and shops i go to and i think thats fun to look forward too
I mean, $3 a pack, but whatever. Sam's had those Heavy Hitter boxes two years in a row. If you think there is a shortage with a limit of 50 per membership, the maf isn't your thing.
$2.80 a pack, not 3, who’s bad at math? Also, at no point did I say there’s a shortage. But yea, 2 years later the heavy hitter boxes are easier to find. 2 years later. 😂
They did release online yesterday as I bought some at 4:30pm eastern time. They dropped multiple times during the day. The release I heard was the 16th in store.
@@thehobbydad6930 Not at all actually I had to enter my card placed the order and they were still in stock after. Each wave was a few minutes at least.
Yeah. He Crossposted in a ton of groups. And like, he got these before the release date. From what I have heard (unconfirmed) there was a glitch that let the boxes be sold ahead of time. Fingers crossed I can actually get one, but not interested at anything other than MSRP. Also, I like the promos only because I like to have at least one of each lol
that rayquaza holo promo is cool its the same artwork from Rebel Clash 3-pack blisters...i wonder if the holo is the same, thats a good card to grade at least it was this might diminish its value
@DrApplesauceTwo a lot of us haven't forgotten your seismicshock days bud. You can wear a mask all you want, but we're never going to forget what's under it.
Yeah Sams and Costco gotta do better vs these scalpers, it should be a limit of 2-3 per person because this is just buying to resell. Turning this into the shoe game and shit. Like damn some people wanna just open these boxes actually and not resell
Im from Texas also, my wife works at same club and told me they had put them on the floor. I walked in yesterday morn, and picked up ten myself. There was a pallet and no one was came in to buy them. Went in today and picked up 5 more, and still had about 20 or so left.
Nope now that theres a Market for people to get paid just by ripping packs live this will be the norm. It'll always be a fight to get your hands on any good set that comes out
This product should never have been released. Now i have a feeling they will print this to oblivion and really just destroy any value this set has at the moment. Its going to end up being Pokemon GO 2.0
Pokemon print so much they throw in a product and call it new. There's the answer to the people who wants every set to be printed into oblivion. CZ singles aren't even that expensive anyway. 😅
Welcome to the rest of the world not getting store exclusive products club, your seriously getting upset about something the rest of the world has to accept they will never see or get
5:07 lol um….stores are not in the market of holding product as long as they can. They want to get it sell it and then put another product in its place.
I have seen a few of them opened on other channels but last sales on eBay have been $85. Price per pack MSRP should put these boxes at $70 retail so being $39.99 is crazy and you know it will be heavily scalped.
Bad time for scalpers to jump onto the cz bandwagon, great for the fans though, as most have probably completed the set or would be better off just buying/trading singles. Prices will hopefully crash below retail too
They shouldnt have made it that cheap anyway that would have prevented the scalping from the beginning... speaking as a european im just jellous Cause we never get to even see these sams club boxes neither can we order from a pokemoncenter... so no deals at all for us 😢😅
1 month later and you can still pick these up in stores n buy them online.. no one’s scalping crown zenith.. you can try n I’m sure people did n they took a fat L
It's something I want but if I can't get for MSRP I'll pass as I don't need it that badly
Bingo
bro why cant people just buy these boxes to open em 😭
Cause some of us don't give a fucc about opening, it's a investment. I don't go to the 2 decc table to have fun, I go to turn 100 into 3k and then I take 400 to the 6 decc table to have fun.

For real.

The worst type of people , his buisness wont prosper
I would've took a few of them right off the pallet and walk away 😂😂😂
Did they purchase the pallet before hand, or afterward, bc they coulda got the boxes if they hadn’t paid for em yet
If it makes you feel any better, they keep it in stock and now limit it to 10 per person. I went in today and bought 3 for me and my friends
Theyve gotta make it like 6 per customer and no online sales. But they're making their money regardless
My daughters love the jumbo promos we put them in picture frames for them lol
Gotta love the popularity of this product. This is what makes the hobby what it is
It’s a smart product

100%
But almost no one’s buying these boxes for the promos. The promos will be really cheap and easy to they are nice though.
They did a huge restock Sep 4 & 5 online! Picked up 10!
I was in Sam’s today and I live in a rural part of Texas, and I didn’t see any. I’ll just keep an eye on it and see if they come out in store.
I couldn't pick up any online, but my Mom got two in the store. They weren't out on the floor, but they were on a pallet on the very top of one of their tall shelves. They were extremely nice & insisted on getting it down with a forklift for her to grab a couple.
They’re still in stock right now!
Bought 3 myself

We have a full pallet at our Sams location. Love it! I picked up a few to open and 2 to keep sealed! Got some decent pulls too!
They limited to 5…. Best deal for your dollar honestly should’ve kept it at 50 limit. There is an huge amount of stock everywhere. Wish I got more
If the box is $40 and there’s 14 packs in it, that’s not “$2 and change”. It’s $2.86 per pack lol
Which is, quite literally, 2 dollars and change. lol.
@@DrApplesauceTwo literally yes, but almost 3 bucks doesn’t get described that way by anyone else ever lol
@DrApplesauceTwo Let's be honest with taxes included the item costs you over $3 per pack actually
These are in the Sams Club that I work in. I bought one package yesterday and two packages today. We still have more!!
I think they’re making their rounds to all the Sam’s clubs now. There was a full pallet when I arrived at the store and I got to pick some up! :)
I wonder if they literally think - oh we'll save on shipping and time if more people buy bulk
Probably lo l
Same with 151 at DG

Heavy hitters boxes at $40 are solid!
He got 75, and I couldnt get 1. Totally fair! Thanks sams club!
None at mine today and I live in a pretty chill area so I SHOULD be able to grab a couple when they finally show up. 😅🤞🏻
I’m a big fan of the promo cards that came in this set, so if I can find one whenever they come back out I’m going to get one. I’m not paying 75+ for one of these boxes though
I found it today and it was in the Grocery section
Indeed God has an awesome plan for us 😊
Yes!
I live in Conway AR. A relatively big area for Arkansas and I checked both days and they were never there. So I feel ya bro.
Well you were completely wrong about this. These bundles are still available online and in store. Took a little longer due to scalpers but then they realized these are being mass printed. Also the per pack cost is $2.86 and not “under half of market value”. You took an L on this video
I went to a samsclub yesterday and I couldn’t find one. It was annoying. I guess I’ll try to get one at the end of August.
Pokemon has been releasing everything in waves lately. Hopefiully these boxes will be available in-store soon and then the third wave of restock will come right before Black Friday.
Also true

Agreed
That sucks. I was really looking forward to opening two or three of these. One of my favorite sets next to Pokemon 151.
Didn’t see them in Sam’s. Saw a TH-camr bought 10 boxes to open on live stream though. 😩
Sheesh
At least he didn't buy 50
Maybe it’s delayed so they can raise the price. At $60 a box they’ll still sell out super fast
Who knows lol
My guess is more to come just like the TTar one. Single should be coming down in price in the coming months with all the openings.
Lucked up in Bluefield VA and got 2 this afternoon for 40.00 a piece
You’ll see it just come by the local card show, only marking them up to $60 😊
Should limit to 3/person at the store
I walked into Sam's club today and bought 13 boxes
Good for you.
I never opened up a crown Z pack yet and hoping to start with this collection box. I hope they manage to make it accessible without the scalpers
I mean, $3 a pack, but whatever.
Sam's had those Heavy Hitter boxes two years in a row. If you think there is a shortage with a limit of 50 per membership, the maf isn't your thing.
$2.80 a pack, not 3, who’s bad at math? Also, at no point did I say there’s a shortage.
But yea, 2 years later the heavy hitter boxes are easier to find. 2 years later. 😂
Man i check this weekend at Plano and Lewisville (near you) and didnt see them in stores either.
They did release online yesterday as I bought some at 4:30pm eastern time. They dropped multiple times during the day. The release I heard was the 16th in store.
Yep. Many sources confirmed it was the 14th.
You must have been quick. I had them in cart and sold out while I was on the last Page.
@@thehobbydad6930 Not at all actually I had to enter my card placed the order and they were still in stock after. Each wave was a few minutes at least.
My Sam's Club has 96 coming in with a limit of 10 per person. That means 10 scalpers and it will be out of stock.
Yea lol. And they’ll line up day 1, if they don’t get them before by a friend. 😂😂
One scalper brings 10 of his friends and he gets 100. Scalpers are scumbags
Thanks for the insight Dr. A. God bless you and know we love you and your family too.
It’s a drag. I paused my PC collecting after the Van Gogh Pikachu. Bad order processing from PCC and scammers just ruin everything.
Hot take… the Lucario promo from the CZ ETB is the coolest card in the set
But what what about the glaceon?!
Yea i havnt seen any at sam i saw the older set before this one
I do collect the promos to go along with the complete set
I pulled 4 gold giratinas 3 english and 1 japanese but can't pull the other ones 😮
Holy smokes!
So much nicer in Japanese IMHO
I wanted to buy a bunch of these but cant find them. So I bought a case of Fusion last night instead. For the 5 minutes it was available.
Where was fusion in stock for 5 minutes at?
this video didn’t age well lol theres a ton at my local sams club i purchased 6 of them to keep sealed will buy more next week
Yeah. He Crossposted in a ton of groups. And like, he got these before the release date. From what I have heard (unconfirmed) there was a glitch that let the boxes be sold ahead of time.
Fingers crossed I can actually get one, but not interested at anything other than MSRP.
Also, I like the promos only because I like to have at least one of each lol
Ohhhhh dang that would make sense.
that rayquaza holo promo is cool its the same artwork from Rebel Clash 3-pack blisters...i wonder if the holo is the same, thats a good card to grade at least it was this might diminish its value
I was able to find them out here in South Florida stores
Did the website say they were in stock when you found them?
i got lucky with 2 online boxes
My sams club has a crap load. I just grabbed 5 of them
Hahaha I pulled gold giratina in my first pack of CZ
Walmart has the Crown Zenith ETB's for $43.99, fulfilled by Walmart so from a vendor.
Yea that’s no where near as good of a deal though. $4 more dollars for 5 less packs.
You can still get them on tcg but there for sure to expensive I hate scalpers
lol right coming from the guy that said, and I quote, "If I had the opportunity I would've done it too".
Might wanna check your sources.
@DrApplesauceTwo a lot of us haven't forgotten your seismicshock days bud. You can wear a mask all you want, but we're never going to forget what's under it.
Your videos are super informative. Thanks for being the first to post this and for being real!
Glad you like them! Good to see ya bro
There were a lot at my Sams a whole 2 pallets

Yeah Sams and Costco gotta do better vs these scalpers, it should be a limit of 2-3 per person because this is just buying to resell. Turning this into the shoe game and shit. Like damn some people wanna just open these boxes actually and not resell

It should be a $50 box and be limited to 5 per person. Sam's is to blame.
Im from Texas also, my wife works at same club and told me they had put them on the floor. I walked in yesterday morn, and picked up ten myself. There was a pallet and no one was came in to buy them. Went in today and picked up 5 more, and still had about 20 or so left.
$35 and people are gonna sell the box for 80-100. Thought people would stop doing this 😑
Nope now that theres a Market for people to get paid just by ripping packs live this will be the norm. It'll always be a fight to get your hands on any good set that comes out
Big sad! I was wondering why I haven’t found any yet!
Yeah that box is cool af..
Yup!
This product should never have been released. Now i have a feeling they will print this to oblivion and really just destroy any value this set has at the moment. Its going to end up being Pokemon GO 2.0
Nope, I was looking for them too

So you're saying there's a chance?
Welcome to the rest of the world not getting store exclusive products club, your seriously getting upset about something the rest of the world has to accept they will never see or get
Definitely said multiple times in the video I’m not upset. Just giving commentary on it. Crazy how much people don’t pay attention
because the Pokemon company wants to keep the value high XD
Hate it or love it, Sam’s is a whole saler
You will find them. These won’t be very scalpable after week 1.
Let’s hope so
Not available in Utah
yeah what a weird way to roll this product out
Agreed lol
If only they would wait a month to put these online so that bots cant get them
5:07 lol um….stores are not in the market of holding product as long as they can. They want to get it sell it and then put another product in its place.
Obviously.
No luck finding them
The last time I got pokemon cards was at McDonald's
I need that Ray holo
Yes the two holo promos are solid. Likely will be cheap singles
I went as well. Nothing.
I have seen a few of them opened on other channels but last sales on eBay have been $85. Price per pack MSRP should put these boxes at $70 retail so being $39.99 is crazy and you know it will be heavily scalped.
I'm all about the promos, I'll take all the promos you don't want 😅 lol
Fair enough lol
The closer you go to hillbilly land that's where you'll find them
Very true lol
I was at Samsclub today & did not see them.
The scammer’s knew that god had an awesome plan for their life 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Law-dd1ld 😂
Went to five Sam's club. Couldn't find not one
Dang!

Ok. lol.
1 month later and you can still pick these up in stores n buy them online.. no one’s scalping crown zenith.. you can try n I’m sure people did n they took a fat L

Congrats!
Is this set coming to the uk?
No clue.
I like promos
