    The current state is that with all the investbros telling people to hoard as much booster boxes as they can the demand > supply and kids can t get packs for what they used to be. When target is completely emptied of any pokemon stuff not by parents but by fat dudes with poor hygiene in their 30s and these guys hoard full carts of etbs and anything thay lays around besides the mystery boxes you know there is a problem. THAT is the current state of Pokemon: Grown adults buying whole stores stocks to hoard or resell to parents who now can t find anything anywhere. And investbros are to blame for that

      Investerbros will continue to exist. That is just something we have to live with. The way we combat it is via counter measures such as stores implementing buy limits, more allocation to local LGS (who will be able to better and fairly allocate products), and via higher/longer print runs for sets even after they go out of rotation.

    Bro if not for this video I would not have known that the stamped mew in my regidrago deck was in fact 87 dollars right now and not 10. Best card I have pulled in a hot minute and I didn't even know the value

      I opened a prize pack a few days ago and got mew ex and charizard ex. Was absolutely shocked when I found out how expensive the mew was.

      I traded mine for a radiant charizard at locals

    Been learning a lot about the tcg from you and I appreciate the vibes you give off! Also thank you for the pack opportunity! I hope to soon open some prize packs for the first time myself!

    Just started playing after years of not collecting and I'm having a lot of fun with my daughter. Our first collection boxes she pulled 2 secret rares and a full art chansey, 3/6 packs hit and now I'm addicted.

      @twister3334 it's so much fun when you get the kids involved !

    Miss the vlogs, for sure. People will definitely feel more excited to attend locals from watching your vods (as I did)

  • @cesarvelazquez3246
    @cesarvelazquez3246 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This guy is the reason I want from "zero" knowledge to at least medium grade if not more experience in the whole pokemon battle world in approximately a month and a half, solely on watching his ideas, tips, & tricks on playing in combination with my own efforts and research! But definitely props to you for landing in my "fyp" 💯🔥

  • @Shockingfuzz
    @Shockingfuzz หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Recently bought the zard ex battle deck just for the prime catcher but the miraidon ex deck still interest me ever since i found your channel, need to pull the trigger on it soon hehe

  • @chancelor
    @chancelor หลายเดือนก่อน

    I used to always watch your sneaker vids even though I don’t care about shoes. I’m glad you’re still posting anything

  • @Chimecho3000
    @Chimecho3000 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I Pulled Mew ex and Garchomp ex from my first Series 5 pack. Unbelievable start to the series.

  • @aPiTcH58
    @aPiTcH58 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One of my rounds in Louisville was against a chair assisted person. She had one of the scooter chair things for leg casts. What happened was she got a permanent seat number at the tables by the registration/side event spots and your pairing on RK9 showed what seat you would be at crossed out and her reserved number on there.
    Edit: I forgot that I would take series 4!

  • @EzraRoth-j9l
    @EzraRoth-j9l หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like playing Pokemon, glad I found a channel that is about playing and not just unboxing. I’ve never played competitively so never opened any Pokemon play pack. A series 5 pack would be nice.

  • @ultial
    @ultial หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Series 5 for me, still could use more stamped cards from there

  • @AS-pb7hq
    @AS-pb7hq หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Series 5 ! Me and the kids haven't played at our local store since temporal forces but we are back !!! Would love our first series 5 pack!❤❤❤

  • @yuephoria
    @yuephoria หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow, what great pulls! 😛
    My local shop only gives out one Play Pokemon! Prize Pack per tournament participant and gives out a certain number of the latest booster packs depending on ranking, so it blows my mind that other shops out there are able give away multiple Prize Packs like this. 😮 But then again, I guess it depends on allocation and local demand.
    My best pull from a Prize Pack Series 5 Pack was from last week’s local Challenge where I get a Mew ex! It made up for my horrible 0-3 performance! 😅
    Prize Pack Series 5 all the way!

  • @MasterNihilus
    @MasterNihilus หลายเดือนก่อน

    Awesome content, love some series 5 and hoping giveaways are worldwide cause i live in spain.

  • @maximummax29
    @maximummax29 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I would honestly want series 4 since it’s harder to get at league nights now

  • @towpaz1737
    @towpaz1737 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Definitely gotta choose the series 5! Still haven't pulled the prime catcher yet

  • @jameskelson6464
    @jameskelson6464 หลายเดือนก่อน

    New player but been opening packs for fun for a few years and never knew these packs existed! I’d love a series 5 cause I’m looking for a bunch of Crispin cards

  • @c9munchkin
    @c9munchkin หลายเดือนก่อน

    Series 5! Just played for the first time at a store and got a pack. Super excited to play and open more

  • @TheY0shi08
    @TheY0shi08 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm from Spain and in Europe, even if they're usually more valuable than the regular ones, prize pack variants are not as expensive compared to the regular versions (even as holos)

  • @XtraLargerock15
    @XtraLargerock15 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Series 5 is the way, but if I could randomly hit the stamped radiant greninja from series 4 that would be sick. I also wanna collect a set of the series 3 stamped energies since I love the pattern for those

  • @Ayentsure
    @Ayentsure หลายเดือนก่อน

    Congrats on the amazing pulls! I gotta say i prefer series 5 between the packs

  • @arc8120

    Series 5. Best pull i got from a prize pack was a stamped hero's cape.

  • @FloresCollects
    @FloresCollects หลายเดือนก่อน

    Look forward to your wugtrio update. I have made my own with more current cards. I'm curious what your picks will be 😁

  • @luv-lost
    @luv-lost หลายเดือนก่อน

    All POP cards or tournament prizes/gifts are expensive. And most people don't want to give them up.
    I have a playset of Plasma Gold Ultra balls but use my old school league ones over the gold most the time.
    I have 20 of each energy from most releases. They hold a crazy value. Anything that is a staple or in meta rn will be nuts.
    But even when they drop out people want full sets from these pack, and they cost BANK.
    My most expensive set is league DCE's, I got the Oceanis ones. I have the NA Staff one also.
    My favorite is I got 20 each Play! league energies. People freak when I pull the out.

  • @Chuck_Tarnish

  • @flambo6554
    @flambo6554 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I pulled the mew a month ago or so, I had the mew UPC promo which I felt looked better so it’s been sitting in my binder for a while. It’s just another alright stamped ex, I thought, stamped Gardy and Miraidon aren’t too expensive, I thought, but then I remembered all the 151 hype demons… man some people must REALLY want that complete master set

  • @BaoBaoKeAixixi
