No one understood a word until that visor came out. Now it's all so clear!
Engineer Geordi approves
Super-visor!
When the visor comes on you know its serious
When Rudy puts on the visor,
you're about to get wiser
This is the man who sold the most chocolate in school
Haha, underrated comment
The most rare almonds, ever seen.
I see the visor and the whiteboard, then I click. That simple.
This is the most important video because Rudy’s Mom finally let him put up a whiteboard in her basement.
Everybody who watches this channel lives in a fantasy world ;)
@@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTHyou put on your knee pads for this comment
@@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTH you are embarrassing yourself
@@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTH it's a double edged sword. People like Rudy keep a game I love around but they have also made staple cards go from 15 dollars to 40 to xxx. It only really makes me sad cuz the collectors market goes into the cost of playing the game. Most people don't think for themselves I thought you was just trying to praise the dude.
@@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTHyou contradict yourself. If he comes from money and is such a successful landlord, then why would he need to "scam" people in the cardboard world? A $300 box is pennies compared to multiple properties and lucrative businesses. I think you might be stuck in your own perspective and unwilling to see someone like Rudy's. If you've watched for long enough, "scammer" or not, this man is passionate about cardboard. This is a hobby for him and he is clearly a workaholic that finds satisfaction in providing for his family. It's pretty twisted to think he needs to scam Timmys who can't afford a $300 box to begin with. Yikes.
Holy shit secret dinosaur
Jurassismine Park
Until no one wants the set and the amazon algo decides the box is not selling and gets firesold for $200. Then hasbro profits drop 50%
Let them eat cardboard.
_F-k it! We'll print it live!!_
Cynthia already knows how to make spineless gambling goldfishes spend all their money
Until no one wants the set and the amazon algo decides the box is not selling and gets firesold
Wtf will Hasbro and WotC do when even Amazon gets burned?
If LGS get burned and doesnt want product AND Amazon gets burned and doesn't want product, wtf does Hasbro do then?
Making Amazon hold the bags isn't a good or viable strategy, especially when Hasbro depends on them to move volume outside of LGS.
If secret dinosaur is right, this is going to be an absolute dumpster fire in a year or two when Amazon and LGS are tired of getting jurassic poo'ed on.
@@EdwinRosario432 Amazon will never get burned they have a commission and they make most of their massive profits on amazon web services, the store dont make much money at all.
I was today’s years old (after 6 years of watching) when I realized Rudy is left handed… that explains it all!
FINALLY THE WHITEBOARD IS BACK WOOHOO
Never seen it before but I do enjoy it. Quite good for explaining all this.
@@VideoGameWarlord it’s worth going back and checking out, his older whiteboard videos as well for knowledge
I love how the visor retains all market signals being absorbed and conveyed by Rudy's Hair.
Need to buy one of those visors to wear when I pay my bills
Make sure to get a pair of glasses as well
I thought those visors were green? For money shinyness idk wtf is happening
I really appreciate the Fallen Empires boxes up the side of the whiteboard… the real over printed set of all time 😅❤
He’s got so many he’s just slamming them into random places
😭
By the waters of Babylon, we lay down and wept, for thee Fallen Empires.
Waiting for a follow up video for "Royal Caribbean Cruise" video from 4years ago.
Thank you for the pink visor videos, these really are The best 🎉😂
RUDY HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF HASBRO LETS GOOOO
Rudy Takeover Hostile! (I don't think Timmy's know what that actually means)
My kid says Folks in unison with me. You can teach your kids Magic. I’m teaching my kid Rudy.
gz a family of loser
Lmao
Lol that's awesome
I don't even collect cards but you are an absolute stud, Rudy. Love checking in every once in a while & seeing how things are going. Wishing you nothing but the best!
Metazoo's art looked like it was made by a 5 year old. Their demise was inevitable.
Everything about Metazoo looked cheap. It gave me flashbacks to the bootleg pokemon cards I saw at a flea market, when I was a kid.
"looked"?!?
Whiteboard, visor AND a TI-83!!
The title wasn’t lying!
I love that hes using aa ti-83plus
...to multiply numbers by 10
@@fsmoura Can you share the Google doc link for your spreadsheet of all of Rudy's silly mistakes?
@@hahahafunniness I'll do it right away, as soon as I finish watching this new batch of Umu videos... only 17 to go ( o.o)
It Saddens me as a 47yr old Man who began playing MTG since it first came out i collected since the beginning .... back b4 my dad passed away in 2016 my entire collection got stolen people broke into our home and stole not only my entire MTG Collection worth a lot of money but my G1 Transformers and G1 Gi-Joe Collection among other things. we had everything insured EXCEPT my MTG collection :( till that day i never bought 1 single or pack of MTG since. i just can't afford it.
smells like an inside job
Sounds like your dad sold your magic cards for magic powder
First of all my dad is no longer living 2nd my dad would never do that didn't you know assumption is the mother of all fuck ups? check yo self next time b4 u spew bs@@sim_o
A vid representative of Rudys tool set that does not go much beyond technicalities.
He reminds me of a stock market analyst not knowing fundamentals, just looking at chart movements, thus seeing Hasbros hope in manipulating sales channels or new card variants..
More interesting discussions are around if WOTC should go back to blocks, thus able to pool creative resources for three sets, instead of frittering them away in single set products like Karlov Manor or Thunder junction with no appeal to get bought, or serialized cards or which other IP to be integrated in a Secret Lair.
Cynthia won! Now a box has 12 packs and sell for $325 that was $80 with 36 packs
Finally! A long learning lesson video! Thank you Rudy!!!!!! This is so awesome!
I had the video playing in another time but I knew the "Awhhh that felt so good" was him putting on *the hat*
"I'm a mitochondria with little fuzzy legs" was the best line in this entire lecture. 😆🤣🤣
26:26 10/10
37:25 "You don't learn until it blows up in your face"
very true rudy and not just about cardboard.
Finally, another whiteboard and banker visor and/or frolf hat. Guide me, sensai.
Thanks for another solid vid, Rudy. In my mind, the next most prudent bottom-line moves for Hasbro would be two-pronged: First, begin printing 9/10 basic lands, 4/5 commons , 2/3 uncommons, and all tokens on the cheapest card stock possible - black ink lines on white backgrounds - don't even bother printing on the back (assuming sleeved play), rather creating something recyclable or even compostable. This would draw down the cost of resources going into cards (of which the majority are ultimately destined for dumpsters) while simultaneously increasing the scarcity & value of the 'rarer' commons/uncommons printed on regular stock. It'd also increase common/uncommon trading, particularly at the LGS level. And it'd 'coincidentally' have some real solid environmental benefits! Second ( and this would support the first move in a two-pronged attack), it'd make sense for Hasbro to move into the sleeve market and begin packaging prerelease sets with them, increasing the prelease set prices to compensate, while also selling these sleeves as a direct competitor to the other manufacturers. This would allow them to produce a tailored sleeve that would better mask any difference between the new B&W lands/commons/uncommons, and the regular prints. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Hasbro owns any of the sleeve companies in play.
Just my thoughts - I'd love to hear you weigh in on this.
Seriously? Not joking? Lmao your first point sounds utterly ridiculous and would have a massive backlash from players. Reduce card quality further than it already has? Nah.
Second point, more feasible and something they could probably do. But rather than getting into the sleeves game though they could just contract with an existing company for fractions of a penny per sleeve and yet charge dollars more per kit.
@@JCLA5The playerbase will accept whatever WOTC doles out... And they will LIKE IT
@@johncameron5884 magic 30th anyone? While players need to speak with their wallets more than they do, there ARE lines that many players won't cross.
Love you Rudy! ❤
It's midnight on a Saturday, I can't get jiggy wit this.
Please do more of these videos as you can. They are very much appreciated.
I’m going to have a hobby shop (tabletop wargaming, RPGs, etc) one day but I’m going to do something crazy… and minimize the Hasbro products I will carry. But I have an idea on how to get around that disadvantage.
Been holding off watching this but its always a treat when you've got a whiteboard video...I spent a day few years back watching everyone you had uploaded at the time back to back. Always appreciate the lessons and your optimistic attitude, have for sure made me a more hopeful person. Cheers Rudy and looking forward to the next one!
Just realized Rudy is left handed. Good for you Rudy
You can know the print run when jou know the average pullrate of 1 serialcard x the total amount of availble serial cards.
If one party controls all the supply consumers get wrekt? Shocking.
RUDY DROPPING THAT FREE EDUCATION
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Rudy for this information continue the good work
The one rudy to rule them all, one Rudy to find them, one Rudy to rob us all, and in the visor bind us
Come for the Magic, stay for the finance and tacos.
Great vid! Thanks Rudy
Man had the visor out, I'm going to preheat the oven for my lesson on Tendies!
Thank you for another pink visor video!!!!! ❤
This is the kind of content I come to this channel for
A finance video that mentions learning from mistakes... Framed by Fallen Empires boxes. The irony is appreciated Rudy.
Oooh these kinds of videos are the best from Rudy
Homer: Number go up?
Marge; Print run's too tight for number to go up.
Homer: Number go up??
Marge: Ehh sure... Number go up.
ABOUT DAMN TIME, I haven’t understood word on this channel in so long!
you have explain it very good to me. thank you for you effort.
I clicked on the like button for the visor, and i must admit, the secret passage dinosaur. Thanks Roody
put on the visor, put on the visor, put on the vis.. YES!!!!!!!!
Unsinkable Titanic huh, sounds like a Commander idea for Universes Beyond feat. Jack and Rose.
An excellent, insightful and entertaining white board video Rudy. Well done sir
Thanks for the insight homie
the visor is back!!!! let's goooooo!
thanks. sounds like things are work out
love it. I also want to add an idea into this. I think one thing we forget is that people want to open packs, and play these cards. I think part of this is tied into to this, and products that have terrible play-ability, will show up in market flux. I rarely buy sealed product outside of 1 pack here and there from store credit for event placement. i find it so hard to justify as a player buying into sealed product especially when you get mucked, double master at 20-30 a pack with a total of 4 bucks in rares....hurts the soul
Fallout is the best MTG investment I’ve seen in years. Wizards fucked up this allocation 😢
Sarcasm I hope
Well the secret dinosaur explains the smell of my cards lately. Seriously though, good break down Rudy. Cheers
This reminds me a lot of the Chewbacca defense.
It hurt to watch him take the visor off D:
Visor man should paint whiteboard on canvas and sell it for Timmy.
I felt alive when Rudy put on the visor
I’m so stoked to see another white board video! These are my favorite content you make man, keep up the amazing work!
but will amazon necessarily play the long game so to speak? is it generally accepted that amazon buy prices will stay stable?
Isn’t this just what we’ve been trying to tell Rudy?
Rudy mentioned that our society doesn't accept failure. Not sure if this is reinforced in our education system where I don't remember anyone going over with me why I would fail, just that I did. While the lessons were retaught what wasn't gone over was whatever method I was using to implement what was taught (not sure I'm being clear). Was listening to a Chael Sonnen video and something he said really struck me. I'm paraphrasing, but he said that "we are taught that failure isn't an option. Of course it's an option". I don't think we are taught how to come back from failure. Just found it interesting.
270.000 were packs or boxes…?
it’s called the secret amazon dinosaur oquation! brilliant! 😜😁👊🏻
If only I could get a line of credit on any amount of boxes.
Can I have hours of the magic that happened at 26:26? That was simply a gift to humanity.
I feel like I learned something after watching this....what I learned I'm not entirely sure quite yet but I know I learned something
I waited so long for this! Did X-mas came early this year?
Rudy thank you you are a genious of entertainment. I loved it when the product started coming out of the dino's ass. You're funny but also you are so right! We need to have a laugh even our assets are on the line! Thanks and all the best!
By the waters of Babylon, we lay down and wept, for thee Fallen Empires. Tfw tower of babel is built too vertical.
Yes
nice video Rudy, the analytical breakdown was concise and logical. Makes sense to see the variables and yea it is prob what is happening exactly. we won't be surprised to see AMZN poop out more fallout boxes in drips for sure in small poop waves!
Dear Rudy:The AfterMath! (Pun Intended..😏)
Only thing in this world thats important is tacos and the 3.69% ladies
Pluto is not a planet. If we say Pluto is a planet, then suddenly there are thousands of other objects that also become planets, and now we're overprinting planets, they become common, and life become too short to look at them.
To get to the core of it: That model is entirely based on the psychological reception of boxes being scarcer than they are, based on LGS not receiving as usual. It also worked without amazon before, remember Time Spiral remastered? At the beginning it was severely bottle-necked too. But with amazon they can surely manage it better, adding only small restocks to keep the prices higher than they would be if LGS got these boxes for the ~$190 to sell at around $220 or so.
I don't know, are we as customers too dumb to see through this after the first time? For Fallout it surely worked out excellent for them as we didn't expect it. But now as (some of us at least) got that glimpse behind the dinosaur, will it work again and again?
My lazy prediction: Smart people can do pre-orders again at their LGS and lock in those prices, e.g. $220. If the vast majority of boxes then moves to amazon to be sold at $300 they can be happy to have paid less. Does that make sense?
👏 💯 yes general customers are too dumb to see through it. Even when you could estimate print numbers with serialized info and the fact if they’re paying for an IP license so they’re gonna use it fully, we’re still where we are now
Uhh, TSR was absolutely pumped thru Amazon for close to 300 a box like a month after release
@@epochsgamingthat's the point, people are buying at high prices on Amazon because it looks scarce but isn't, just like TSR.
@@chim007azo was responding to the first post where he said it worked without Amazon
pink visor video has made my day already and im only 2 minutes 15 seconds in.
Rudy still fighting the good fight for Pluto! The hero we need.
Can’t wait to pick up a box at Timmy’s Imporium
You sir, should be teaching economics and finance at Tolarian Community College…This was brilliant!
The problem with constantly raising the P. and reprints becomes "spending today is less valuable than spending tomorrow". Without FOMO the consumer can step back, relaxe and have a nice conversation where their money goes. Less impulse buys means less money for hash-sis.
Really miss the white board! Rudy, King of the cardboard satire 😈
the moment he put the viser on
Watching this makes me glad I got out of collecting sealed boxes. I now hold to the Professor's adage of BUY SINGLES.
Wanna play a game? Take a shot every time Rudy says "mmkay?"
Does this apply to any companies product?
Today I tapped my mc flurry and casted a 5 dollar footlong with bacon. Bacon is like haste but you sac it at the end. My win condition is 11/11 pair of Nikes with grip. Grip is like infect only you sac it at the end. Hoping for universe beyond presidents edition so I can build my Abraham Blinkin etb deck.
Halfway in. Here is the tl;dr…Hasbro leverages AMZN channel to hold retail prices, pushes most stock that direction. Scarcity holds if they don’t dump trickle level sales. Rudy forgets to talk about AMZN channel margin against the $325/box.
Except there is no Amazon margin. They are getting paid to sort and sell a box for you, same cost whether it’s a $90 box or $400 box. Why do you think the Cynthia connection was so important in getting it set up?
Account fees are fixed and modest but by industry referral fees aren’t and they range quite widely. There is also Amazon fulfillment - a third bite of the apple? Guaranteed Amazon makes “good money” for this - it’s how Bezos flies fallic ships into the sky.
Rudy does not fuck around when he put these titles ❤❤❤
Having never played MTG I bought a FO CB blindly when Rudy first mentioned anything under $300 was a good price at $260 and it has been the second most exciting thing to track other than Evolving Skies. Thank you Rudy. I’m convinced you’re a real one.
2 seconds early on the visor rudy thats how i know u a real one
You omit that if card prices fall, and you buy them at that low price, you don't care if they hold value given they cost 50 cents to a few dollars. The game piece army may just want to play and can't afford higher priced cards thus, falling card prices allow them to buy the cards in the first place. If you buy a commander deck for $500, you care if it gets reprinted into the ground because you lose hundreds. If the entry price for that deck is $50, tanking card prices are not a problem since you lose $25 dollars and you can afford to buy the deck in the first place.
Wizards should go back to 1 booster pack type and put all the variations in as special cards like it used to be. They could take a page from FaB putting serialized in the first run and just special variations in an unlimited run that is PtD.
Or get rid of serialized garbage altogether, because it makes zero sense to re-use the same art in a serialized variant.
