Picked one up for $56.86+tax at a local game shop. At that price point I feel it is a justified purchase for the kick ass Charizard card stand. At bare minimum, the figure would go for $40 at pokecenter, making 10 packs,$4/ea. Btw, the Charizard does hold your card. It fits into a small slit in the flames.
So from what I understand, it is designed to hold and display a sleeved card, but collectors and people who display their collection would normally want to showcase something big or valuable in their collection, and would normally top load / one touch / slab the item to protect its value, and this display doesn’t seem to account for that. So for a sealed product in a collecting seems more appropriate but I’d still get two if I see this go on sale, so I can at less display one.
Regurgitated cards .. only buy, if you want the Charizard-figure to display it in your room/house But hey, my 2 cents ... and is everyone's personal preference
This would’ve been WAY cooler if it was a Paldean Fates collection featuring a Shiny Charizard. They only released a shiny tin which is actually something I think is worth investing in since a Shiny Charizard TCG item doesn’t get released often. It’s a little tough to find at msrp right now though. Managed to find one at Walmart and have it sealed.
I think the best way to approach this is piece out the individual elements. The promos ultimately aren't worth a whole lot. So i wouldn't give them a dollar value. With there being 10 packs if you price each at about $5 / pack. You are at $50. So then you have to decide if that figure is worth the $30 more. If you manage to get the set for a lower price on amazon etc. The value is as Jake said a bit better. I personally wouldn't pay full retail. If you can get it at a discount i think the figure is enough to pick it up and I expect that will probably be the reason most people get this. That said there are probably other Charizard figures out there at a similar or cheaper price. Maybe not this scale though.
This is perfect for Christmas I agree. That's why I sent it to the grandparents as a gift idea. For $50 I like this for a kid (which is the rough sale price right now). I wouldn't buy it for 70.
I think people forget that the figure alone could go for ~$40 so that and 10 packs actually doesnt sound too bad. I also get a discount for this at my workplace lmao
One to rip, one to keep sealed. Would not hold more than one or two, its very bulky. The charizard is a never before printed low rarity alt art of the 151 cheapo zard, and the other two are reprints but cosmic rare so people will be looking for them for their master sets. All in all promos worth about $20, figurine I would place around $20, and if you get that $3 per pack range outside of the for the main collector stuff, I think its worth it
I was going back and fourth and eventually grabbed it for $70 Canadian. Other game stores had it for $85-$90 and the big box stores had it for $100+. I’m glad I’m not the only one that had a poor hit ratio. Only pulled a full art from Stellar crown. I do really like the Charizard figure it comes with and is a great addition to my office desk!
I purchased this box today for £50 and I then decided to watch 2000 videos on TH-cam after to see what pulls I’d see and I have seen no pulls 😅 but I personally think it’s a cool box to buy
Some of the packs in there have notoriously bad pull rates. Obsidian Flames and twilight Masquerade in particular. Watch me though...ive pulled the gold zard secret rare twice from obsid and the white zard. But no lucl on the SIR Charizard. Watch me pull another gold zard from obsid in this box.
@ I’m the same I’ve pulled all the Zards bar the black one I may have to just buy it to complete the set one more booster of obsidian flames and then that’s it I’ll buy the rest of the cards 😂
To my surprise I pulled the terapagos sir from this box with a gold trainer card, hoopa full art, and a zaraora ar. Way better than when I was ripping from sleeved for etb.
I got the box today and I’m debating on opening it, but I’m not a Pokemon investor or really taking seriously. I just like cool cards, which having all three starters I feel content with it. But I do like this thing a lot. I’m just wanting to rip into the packs lmaooo
i mean in a few years its gonna be worth alot more than 80 just give it time even the zard upc is like 180$ and that thing was printed to the earths core
i feel like its going to get to a point where everybody is tired of charizard - even the zard lovers. personally i dislike the hype and everything surrounding the pokemon, but hey thats just my opinion. edit: also, I think the charizard is supposed to hold a card! i saw a promotional image of the figure holding a card.
I’m pretty sure this figure is supposed to hold and display a card too Jake. I remember reading a product description saying this charizard protects your favorite card and seeing a slot in the flames for a card somewhere
pulled 0 from this. not even a regular ex or ace spec. box looks really nice as a sealed product though in person (probably better than expected) but takes a lot of room (size is about 8 booster boxes)
Wtf you on about? This comes with 10 packs! 100 cards and a statue. Thats great value. Especially if your a charizard fan like me. I got the box cause of the statue but the 100 cards is a great bonus. Man people are petty. Lol
@BigKatz451 hope so for your sake. The promos are a huge pass for me, the artwork is the exact same from previous sets. It makes zero sense to me. Pokemon Co. must think we're all idiots 🤷♂️
@@playafly316If you keep anything long enough it will always go up in value some things not as much as others but if you have alot of time to waste and hold it for manny years and you got alot of it. Then it is always worth it
Hey Jake, big fan since 2022. I see cards for 151 english raw going for the same price as japanese psa10. Is that normal? I prefer english, but I am leaning more towards japanese so I can buy psa10 for the same price
I bought 10 of this, at the end each one cost me $51. I will keep one sealed for my personal collection, open 1 for the channel and sell the rest in 20 years haha
This ain’t premium 😂 This ain’t super 😂😂 Don’t buy this below average excuse to shamelessly sell merchandise Only buy for $29.99 on sale It isn’t even worth the card board 👍🏼 Charizard is played out Lost its pull Can we see Dragonite more please
Hey guys and "welcome to the hobby" lol clown stop saying that every video, your viewers and subs watch you video after video, they have been here for months if not years, however, "welcome to the hobby".... like, is Jakey the hobby now? 😂😂
The only thing premium about this box is the price.
SUPER Premium!
True
Lmao
I think tiktok had 2 for 110 usd
Sellers have them from $55 for 1 or 110 for 2

It fits right in the fire, there's a slot if you just look straight top down. You don't need to balance it like that 😂
Regurgitated cards .. only buy, if you want the Charizard-figure to display it in your room/house
But hey, my 2 cents ... and is everyone's personal preference
And it's not the best. i can just get a $10 amiibo
if they Colaborated with SH Figuarts and put that charizard in it then maybe I would have seen this as Premium

Watching this pushed it from a “definitely not” to a “maybe on deal” for me.
That's how I felt as well
I bought it after picking it up and holding it and seeing how it looked in person. Feels so solid and looks fantastic on my shelf
I think people forget that the figure alone could go for ~$40 so that and 10 packs actually doesnt sound too bad. I also get a discount for this at my workplace lmao
Found it on TCGplayer unopened for $55 so I’m gonna get it when I get paid. Pack looks sick.
@@EthanBenardat Costco it goes for 58$ I just picked it up
You really can't put a cost to pack ratio due to the being a collection set with a model, I plan on keeping it closed for now.
great review. just picked one up for 60 and now its going on my shelf and staying sealed for a few years
Yup! Bought 4 for $55 a piece and I'm sitting on them for a few years
One to rip, one to keep sealed. Would not hold more than one or two, its very bulky.

Jake you did pull a prime catcher! In the competitive scene it's a staple card! And pretty pricey
That's right! I was looking using my collector goggles
Casually skipping over the Prime Catcher did hurt me a bit as a player, but then mentioning the Greninja SIR you pulled for me made it Allright 😂

They need to bring back Charizard X&Y for promos and figures

@ 😂😂😂
To my surprise I pulled the terapagos sir from this box with a gold trainer card, hoopa full art, and a zaraora ar. Way better than when I was ripping from sleeved for etb.
I was waiting for this
bought one, i love it. As a sportscard collector, 80$ is a steal for this. You guys are spoiled lol.
spoiled kids don't care about prices
It looks a bit cheap , to big to store but, it's one of the better statue thingys i have seen from Pokemon in a bit.
I got the box today and I’m debating on opening it, but I’m not a Pokemon investor or really taking seriously. I just like cool cards, which having all three starters I feel content with it. But I do like this thing a lot. I’m just wanting to rip into the packs lmaooo
You can open it up, take out the hits, and put the unwanted cards back into the packs so you can return for display.
Did the same as a new collector, grabbed this to keep it sealed and see if it gains value in years to come
First up Jake!!!! I want to get one of these for myself for Christmas!!
I want this. and I haven't even played the tcg game in 20 years.
They really dropped the ball on this. I understand the pack choice but bro these promos?
I am the collector for this :( I'll probably get one for the shelf and one to open up.
The box hits are brutal!
i mean in a few years its gonna be worth alot more than 80 just give it time even the zard upc is like 180$ and that thing was printed to the earths core
Bought 3. Two are displayed on my book shelf, the other I opened. Wasn’t a great box tbh. I bought mine from Macy’s for 59.99!
Damn!!!! Can they show some love to other Pokémon!! I love Charizad and Pikachu but they need to put the spotlight on someone else!!!
Like what other pokemon?
Any eeveelutions@@KingLugia2022
@@KingLugia2022idk like maybe any of the other like 800 of them lol
No thanks more Charizard please
Best they can do is gengar
i feel like its going to get to a point where everybody is tired of charizard - even the zard lovers. personally i dislike the hype and everything surrounding the pokemon, but hey thats just my opinion.
edit: also, I think the charizard is supposed to hold a card! i saw a promotional image of the figure holding a card.
New collectors in the hobby will always love charizard .
I agree!!! They got so many pokemon they show off
More packs in an ETB than the Charizard ex premium collection? Can you count
Thanks to the TH-camrs they have already dropped the price on it everywhere so look around and don't pay 80 bucks for this item.
$60 today
it's a good display product. im buying 1 and keeping it sealed.
I’m pretty sure this figure is supposed to hold and display a card too Jake. I remember reading a product description saying this charizard protects your favorite card and seeing a slot in the flames for a card somewhere
There's no slot but yes it does sort of hold a card. I say sort of because it only fits an unsleeved card
@@TwicebakedJakethere is quite literally a slot in the flames
I was able to buy this from best buy. Not going to open it. I have it on display on my shelf. I got it for around $55 since I work at best buy. 😊
In France we have 2 brilliant stars booster packs in it and one paradox rift and one obsidian flames
I got 4x Paradox Rift, next to Temporal, Masquerade and Stellar Crown. NL here
cracked this box open and got a sinistcha ex and scizor ex all for $80 🙃
Better than me! 👑
pulled 0 from this. not even a regular ex or ace spec. box looks really nice as a sealed product though in person (probably better than expected) but takes a lot of room (size is about 8 booster boxes)
The figure is bigger than I thought dammm!
Yeah! I thought the same thing haha
I just grabbed one for $60 from a local shop I’m so stressed trying not to open it 🤣
I bought 2. Holding 1, opened the other.
How much is the Charizard card worth.does anyone know?
I cancelled mine from PC. I think I'm still going to pass on it. not too bad overall I guess.
Some stores in my area are charging $100
Wtf you on about? This comes with 10 packs! 100 cards and a statue. Thats great value. Especially if your a charizard fan like me. I got the box cause of the statue but the 100 cards is a great bonus. Man people are petty. Lol
If that's your logic then a booster box comes with 360 cards and doesn't cost much more
@@TwicebakedJake well it was worth it to me. Like i said, youd have to be a big charizard fan.
The figure is supposed to be a card display too!
This would be perfect to pick up at $45
The packs are amazing but the price is horrible
Think it shows the figure holding a card on the pk center site
Confirmed! It does kind of!
$150 down here in Australia
that orange dragon figure is so basic.
in my opinion - neither nor don't buy it!!! xD why? booster, "promo" card, and the 3$ etsy/wish figure
That figure is a card stand look at it closer
Bought two. Opened one to put the promos in my 151 master set, and keeping the other one sealed
Waste
@@playafly316 not really, my 151 master set will be very valuable, and a box like this will appreciate in value over time.

The charizard is meant to be a card holder
Should be only worth $30 in my opinion..or less!! Also atleast the packs they put in should have a Charizard Hit to make it more interesting
I paid 40€ retail where I live
It definitely holds a card
Just Picked it up for $55 in amazon lol
It does hold a card . Goes under the left wing I believe
I was have bought it if the promo cards were better
Local card shop has it for $60
Not really interested tbf
It’s so funny that no one knows it’s a card stand, no idea what TPCI was thinking. Promos were a terrible choice too. It’s 100 euro over in Europe
I checkd in local store i buy in eu they already sold all, now scalpers have their turn 😂
It’s 55 euros on cardmarket, dunno where u check ur prices
We all now don't talk for other people
I bought it for €60 regular price in NL
Picked one up for 30 euros 😅 I like the statue! But would definitely not pay 80 euros for it
Figure is fire.
It’s on rare candy for $60
Everyones doubt is my plus 😂
Collection tour??
I got 4 Paradox and no Obsidian in my box...
Hey Jake, big fan since 2022. I see cards for 151 english raw going for the same price as japanese psa10. Is that normal? I prefer english, but I am leaning more towards japanese so I can buy psa10 for the same price
The Japanese packs are a bit cheaper and easier to get rn
This does hold a tgc card right !?
Oh by the way, im BACK!!
Is the drip app not working for anyone else? It keeps crashing on my end
i mean buy and hold
Calling it premium doesn't make it premium.
11:29, that pull was insane
This could be an Anti-Hoarder collectors “maybe” like other content creators 😅
It does hold a card
hold
Now its 95€
Going for $60 on ebay
Jake is like wizards of the coast now. Telling people that not every product is for you lol
"Just don't be poor" - wotc probably
I bought 10 of this, at the end each one cost me $51. I will keep one sealed for my personal collection, open 1 for the channel and sell the rest in 20 years haha
Weigh your box
Don’t like this product at all 😅
Hehe moneyyy..
Trash product deffo avoiding
its sooo naughty
Boo hoo box.
This ain’t premium 😂
This ain’t super 😂😂
Don’t buy this below average excuse to shamelessly sell merchandise
Only buy for $29.99 on sale
It isn’t even worth the card board 👍🏼

Lost its pull
Can we see Dragonite more please
