Is it worth it, or not? Correct me if I'm wrong: You say these are worth $240, however, you own a business and may be getting these at below retail, with a great profit margin. However, to the normal consumer, spending $240 would still put them in the red even with these pulls. Considering what you said is the average booster box pull rate of about 1 full art, 3 ~ 5 EX's, consumers could just buy 2 sealed booster boxes at about $90 each (which would then double the ultra rares) plus have a little bit of money left for even more extra booster packs. So, is this video actually, a "Loss"? The only benefits I can see doing this is you get the extra pins, promo cards and jumbo cards, and the booster packs come in assorted and not purely one set.
Just for fun, let's maths! *deep breath* You can assume a store gets these at around 40% off cost, so let's just say $140. Stores pay as low as $2.18 per booster pack. There's 36 packs in here, so an "effective" cost of $78.50. Meaning we are shy $60 of the price if a store just purchased the packs. 6 jumbo cards that sell for $7 each (in a 5 pack on Amazon, after fulfillment fees) = $42 Pins at $3 each = $18 Coins at $1 each = $6 Codes at $2~ = $12 total: $78 So that gives us higher than average EV of the booster packs (+$18 swing). Now the gamble is the randomness. Is it worth the $18 to not have to deal with selling the pins/codes/coins plus the knowledge that you'll be getting the box average EXs? That's personal preference, to me as a gambler, I like the cheaper cost of entry into cracking the packs. BUT! I like the gamble more, it's more thrilling to know there's a chance I could lose compared to a box, but a change I could gain more. However! Speaking in a non-store perspective, I'd probably still go this route based on retail. Because $144 retail for a box of Pokemon is WAY too high. I'd rather take the gamble and walk out with some cool things to eBay. But then again, I wouldn't recommend anyone who isn't a store throw that much money at these. Not unless you're a collector with money to burn. tl;dr for a store, this would be a win, IMHO. For a non-store, a loss. A pretty big loss based on the prices of the packs alone.
Derium's Pokemon Ah okay, so I was correct! Thanks for the maths! I am running an up and coming business and I really appreciate your explanation! I also didn't know code cards were worth that much. I too get these below retail so in theory I could do this at a slightly lower scale than you but for my business (subscription box service) I make a profit just from the booster boxes. Thank you again!
Derium, People like me know how to tell the code color from the back, if it says pokemon.com/tcgo it is a white code. if it says pokemon.com/redeem it is a green code. just trying to get things straight not hating because u are my favorite TH-camr and just wanted to give you so e advice. p.s can I enter the giveaway?
I was sitting in some chairs outside this cafe, and i had bought myself 2 steam siege packs to open, was hoping for a holo, the first pack i got a reverse rare, and i was pretty happy with that, then the last pack i got a FA proffesor sycamore and i was like OH MY GOD and there was like 4 people at other tables watching me have a heart attack XD
I think it's a cool way of thinking, comparing your pulls to a booster box. But the flaw here is you spent 240 worth, so for this to be 1 to 1 you would have to compare your pulls to that of two booster boxes. Since the cost of a booster box is about 85-100. Keep up the great videos
I love your content, but let's not forget you opened $240 worth of cards to get the same amount of packs you get in a $90-$100 booster box. You can get 2x booster boxes and then an elite trainer box to boot for what you paid to get those Beedrill boxes. It's always a better gamble to get the packs from a booster box.
You know, Crobat from BW Plasma Storm, has the same effect move like M-Beedrill-EX, except it doesn't discard energy nor is your opponent paralyzed, so maybe those cards put together could be a good deck.
Wtf. Guys, i DO NOT KNOW if u can realise this, but u know that last box that he opened through the time lapse? It was RIGGED. That box contained (in the packs) a MEGA MEWTWO Y, ZOROARK BREAK, HOLO GRENINJA, FULL ART GLACEON EX, AND XERNEAS BREAK. To prove it, the first pack he opened for both XY and Break Through and also the first TWO packs (two fates colide, and steam seiege) for them had an ultra, i mean ULTRA rare card. Hopefully u know what i mean know cus the chances of this happening is like, a 1/10000 chance (i dont really know, but tell ur friends about this message if u read it)....
your my new favorite poke tuber... i also remember when you did that fat teen titans heroclix video. you do great work friend keep it up, you make me smile so thank you
The different codes stop weighing packs, so that sorta makes up for the less excitement
Like the codes weigh less or more I tihnk

Weird because The Pokemon Evolutionaries got a pack of XY Furious Fists in their box.
5 years late but my assumption is they were probably getting rid of leftover packs.
i came across your vids today and i cant stop watching them plz keep going
U and Mikey have to do another 1000 pack Opening
Like if u want it to happen
Darkleatherdog they're doing one for evolutions but he's slaking on it

#idontforgiveDerium,because,he,opens,to,many,packs,and,i,get,jealous hahahahah nice pulls though man
You are the best pokétuber on TH-cam!
Can you guys do 1000 packs on TCG online it would be cool to me
And the mass openings are amazing I get bored of watching booster boxes but these are random and are amazing
Jake VonBrook agreed
Jake VonBrook vicjcncicfn m
So much ex cards
Jake VonBrook well that means he would have to open them all by his self
Break Through is under-rated
Is there plans for more profit or loss?
Every video he does is basically a profit or loss. Just calculate it yourself. I think this one is a loss though
I know but I like one item so i know about how much rare card is worth and how the pulls kind of are
It's Super Effective yes kkkkk
Harambe Is Dead 🖐🏽🖕🏾
isn't it more expensive to buy all these boxes though compared to a booster box
Wasn't the 1000 pack Evolutions opening supposed to go live last night or am I imagining things?
TheWonderdoc he said Friday in the last video
Stephanie Garyait
oh ok i thought he had said night from Wednesday to Thursday

Maybe this is their last XY premium collection? Maybe that's why they revisited XY Base Set?
I love your content, but let's not forget you opened $240 worth of cards to get the same amount of packs you get in a $90-$100 booster box. You can get 2x booster boxes and then an elite trainer box to boot for what you paid to get those Beedrill boxes. It's always a better gamble to get the packs from a booster box.
Its not really a gamble because you're guaranteed 12 ultra rares, plus he could sell the promos and get money back
Jared Richardson so much money!
I'm psyched for this beedrill box. I dunno why but I've always liked beedrill.
I'm always so unlucky with fates collide, so it's nice to see others get good pulls (even if some are damaged)
But at the end they sell their cards? :O Awesome umboxing!
Awesome video I'm super jealous of that glaceon.
Finally someone opened this ! :D
Thanks for inspiring me to when I grow up make a channel about opening packs a lot of packs, the way I get my money is by working with my dad
Who new beedrill would get a mega and a ex card
I opened one today and got a gardevoir Ex fairy,Togekiss EX fairy,mewtwo EX,and a M Altaria EX fairy
"my favorite,mega ex pack openings."
1 of the M beedrill box,s in australia cost $100
This was an awesome video love the hits
You know, Crobat from BW Plasma Storm, has the same effect move like M-Beedrill-EX, except it doesn't discard energy nor is your opponent paralyzed, so maybe those cards put together could be a good deck.
i like knowing the color codes trick because it hypes me up!
Can I have that reverse haxouras you pulled out of break through
Wtf. Guys, i DO NOT KNOW if u can realise this, but u know that last box that he opened through the time lapse? It was RIGGED.

NikitaYoung1 rigged? Rigged!?
i got 2 steam siege, 2 break through and 2 fates collide how do you got xy base set?
50k nice bro keep going
love the artwork of beedril
If i got mega mewtwo i would run outside and scream mr mewtwo XD
Better odds for EX but more than twice the cost of one booster box.
Why is there a xy base set booster pack in a mega beedrill premium collection? The world may never know! :]
your my new favorite poke tuber... i also remember when you did that fat teen titans heroclix video. you do great work friend keep it up, you make me smile so thank you
what would you rather have a chimichanga alligator or a taco crocodile
Which is the best pokemon card edition?
Beedrill is doing the dab!! LOL
XY base packs? The Pokemon evolutionaries had furious fists packs?! Nice opening!
Hey I was just wondering what you do with all your extras? Definitely have ideas to build a Beedrill EX deck but lack the funds to buy four boxes!
Out of xy base you want the full art venausaur, blastoise and charizard
MBeedrill EX with lurantis GX flower supply
I am genius
Right?!?!?
real cool things.....I mean no body would expect bad things from derium's Pokemon he is the best him and his friends
where do you event sell those cards, cuzz you always say like this is worth $$$ but where is it worth that
This is my favorite video ever
ok deruim there is a thing you didn't know about the mega and the japanese writing on it . the writing means the attack it has
Derium that first breakthrough pack was worth like $18
Have two mega bee drills with the ex of corse and put a float stone on both and it would be op
Really love the Beedrill pins
Scariest thing to look at instead of your commons is your bank acount
like how many evolution packs are you going to open
52,000 subscribers! WOW I've been here since 1000!
These are only 24 bucks each at Walmart right now. Almost 50 % off
What does he do with the ex cards from the boxes? Like the Beedrill EXs, he has so many. Does he give them out or just sell them?
is promo card playable or just collection? I am new :) plz let me know..thank you
playable
