The good thing about the Mega's is the Blue Ice color match 😂😂😂- But indeed curious how these will hold up. I think it might end up as Flux as you mentioned
Mega>Blasters - Definitely like the Cracked Ice on these better. The busy diamonds motif pops more with the ice and makes more sense from a design perspective. These are good cards, better than Flux, but they don't give you enough for the money. A couple Cracked Ice, some rookies, plain inserts, a silver and a numbered card isn't gonna cut it. Maybe next years design will be better and won't seem as rushed.
Still not a great value for the price (as is the case with seemingly all retail now) but overall not too bad! I agree, I like the cracked ice better than the laser so I’d probably rather rip a mega than a blaster
Phoenix is the new flux(except base photos more better)? This set is near good if u like old vets, inserts look alright. The rcs look like mosaic '20 though. Would of been better if they just kept these in Chronicles which won't come out it seems
Ouch...Phoenix is rough. Some decent looking singles, but way too many dud parallels. I don't need a bunch of Naz Reids and RJ Barretts. Your vids were enough to convince me to stay away. Thanks for taking the hit for your veiwers...

The blue ice does make for some good color-matches. I've got some Target megas coming with the far superior red ice parallels though. 😁
@@SageTheCollector hahaha I think I can only get the Wallmart so happy with the blue ice :P
Cannot wait to see Sage hit 20k subs! ❤❤❤❤❤
If you can wait for the celebration in 2026 😄
@@SageTheCollector I think mid 2025 you can doooo itttt!
There are very few sets out there that I would say have better hobby boxes than retail boxes but I think Phoenix is definitely one
From what I've seen, I would agree
Hmmm refreshing set but I think your right, a little too pricey. I stand by flux being the worst though haha
Flux is by far the worst 😁
Seemed better than the blasters but as you said, will wait till next year and the price drops.
Like most stuff, it looks cool, but is probably a bad bet. Will for sure pickup singles for the PC.
Definitely a bad bet at the current prices. Wait for the sales next year.

Agreed
Personally phoenix has been great. Got 2 numbered and an auto from one blaster
🤘🏻
I hope these are better then the other ones I've seen
Don't get your hopes up 😉

The blue ice definitely look better than the teal lazers. But the red ice are gonna look better than the blue ice. #DefinitelyNotBiased
Just picked up a mega at target today and yes red ice. I opened 3 blasters and hit 2 numbered rookies, Prosper /49 and Black /275. posting tomorrow
Nice! I'll be opening my Target megas tonight for tomorrow's video. 🤞🏻
The megas look better than the blasters, at least you pulled a numbered card. I think these would be a good rip at around $40 a pop.
Agreed. These will be $40 (and lower) soon.
Have some on order to see what I get but also checking local stores.
The Target megas with the red ice parallels have started popping up on shelves
I got in a few breaks on the hobby boxes, I'll buy anything that looks cool off ebay in a few months when the prices go down 😂😂😂
I think the prices on these will definitely drop. It just might take until next year.
@@SageTheCollector I meant the singles, I want a brunson blue parallel 😆
Too bad no autos, but I do like seeing different sets. The green ice is nice!
I know that these phoenix are way better than FLUX those flux are bad 😊
Which do you prefer though? This or Flux?
Phoenix, definitely.

These definitely look better than Flux IMO, but these boxes needed to have more cards for sure
XQC won 2.5 mill X2 great content sage 2.5 M twice
I've opened so much basketball product hobby and retail and I probably pulled one silver Wemby so far.
That man is so elusive. 😂😡😡😡😡
😬

Yeah, I'd stay away from these until they go on sale
Thank you for saving me $100
Blasters should be like $15 and megas should be like $30 based on what you're most likely gonna pull from these.
Agreed. But I have a feeling you'll get your wish soon. ;)
WOW 2 megas i almost creamed........25% value of NOIR sage=cocomelon
I like that Clyde Drexler, but I'll pass on these cards.
This garbage is brutal . Panini milking everybody
These boxes needed more cards to justify this price
This kind of thing paired with the upcoming class might be the end. Very little reason to rip at this point. Good on ya for having fun with it all
Glad ppl are realizing it. It's been downhill since edwards/ball 20/21
I pulled a Wemby Genies in a blaster box from Wal Marts
Yeah not my favorite set at all, nice Wemby though!
These boxes are no way worth $50 maybe $35 . It's a hard pass for me.
These will be $35 soon enough
RC's a full season after they have played or not is just BS. Keep milking it Panini. They will buy it.
That's normal nowadays though
Done with panini trash
Ok
You did better than me bought 2 boxes $59.99 apiece at Walmart neither one had numbered nor did I pull a wembanyama 🥹😂
Ouch 😬
