I called every single store looking for older sets like chilling reign, fusion strike, and also harder to get sets like Surging sparks and 151, bro. Not one spot had any of those except one spot and they were selling it for $80 for the ETB for SSP, then finally all the card shops were closed, so I went to some Walmarts, and after 2 of them I found 5 151 ETBs at $59.99 each, I picked up 3, but the fact it took me the WHOLE entire day just to find something is nuts
@@VanguardRaven I feel you 😂 These will probably fly off shelves on release day so if you want em at MSRP, wake up early and go to your local Target or Walmart before the hoarde of scalpers get there
I mean yeah, that's kinda where it all started. I wouldn't go as far to say the hype surrounding Pokemon as it is right now is faux. Could've had a case for it back in 2021 or 2022. But I think that Logan Paul generated hype turned itself into a real thing. With more and more people jumping into the hobby thanks to things like Pokemon Pocket and others, we're seeing Pokemon's potential from an investment standpoint turn into something incredible.
@@officialpokeburns Yep, from an investment POV, great, but for everyone who loves/loved the hobby, was into collecting for fun? What a god damn shit show.
@@nirvanna21 Absolutely, people who are just casual collectors are gonna be in an absolute nightmare trying to get their hands on these hyped sets without paying a premium.
@@officialpokeburns - What I mean is, with all the sudden rise in youtubers clamouring to make as much money with Pokemon now, they instinctively buy up a lot of stock causing this artificial inflation and price gouging with on another, not letting much for the casual collectors let alone genuine fans. Recent example being I barely been able to get 151 products and have nowhere near a completed set like every set I've gone in on in recent years.
Terastal masterballs (specifically the Umbreon and Sylveon) are like the chasers of the set. Hope you pull em! 2 boxes is also a great shot at gettng an SAR

Japanese print run is massive. If this follows suit - don’t worry
Great video man, I think some faint chill music/lofi would help fill up the space and make the vid even better !
@@christianp4123 Agreed! I'll definitely add some in my next one.
I rather just stick with Japanese version less of a headache and quality is much much better.
If I cant get MSRP, fuck it. I'm not that desperate for shiny cardboard.

I swear Logan Paul ruined the whole TCG side of Pokemon, that every youtuber leapt onto the band wagon, causing false hype throughout the fandom.

Once he called it a sunbreon I clocked out....
@@Abidoe I started the Sunbreon nickname and it won't die!
@@officialpokeburns its still a moon, cause umbreon is a moon pokemon, its not a sun
Just bought two Terastial Festival boxes. I may just sell my PE ETBs.
Terastal masterballs (specifically the Umbreon and Sylveon) are like the chasers of the set. Hope you pull em! 2 boxes is also a great shot at gettng an SAR
@@officialpokeburns There is one SAR guaranteed per box
It seemed that way from all the openings I watched but wasn't totally sure. Thank you for confirming 😂
This set will be printed like Shining Legends.
Definitely gonna be a lot of it. Heard they printed a buttload of Terastal too.
