    So nice taking to you and thank you for adding my socials to the video!
    I’m looking forward to the release of Lorcana and I can’t wait to get my own cards!

    Id love to hear more about your thoughts on thr foil market. Ive been purchasing common foils and uncommon foils for $2-3. I feel like thats a fair price as that's half the price of opening a pack. But this is from a collectors perspective not so much a player. Love the content!

      I think they’re criminally under valued especially on the premium ones. I think they maintain more value over time than most cards so how you’re buying them seems fair to me. I hope to have more data but we haven’t even listed our foils for sale that much yet tbh

    I went to a LGS for a starter deck challenge. Got a starter deck and entry to the challenge for $15. Also bought a single pack for $5.39. I got to talk to the owner. He said he wanted to sell everything MSRP so people will like him and want to support the store more even once supply is everywhere. I joined a local discord group for the game and everyone as a community are keeping tabs on what places are above MSRP and by how much. They have a list for the future on who to support more and who to go to for future game releases.
    I had a blast at the starter deck challenge today. I got the Ruby/ Emerald deck. Played 3 rounds of best of 3. I lost all 3 rounds but I had a lot of fun playing the game. Also walked away with all 3 promo cards and the Ariel pin. So I'm happy. I have another one tomorrow at a different store. It was $45 to get in but it includes a few boosters to add to the deck. For that one I want to pick the Amber/ Amethyst deck. I might just stop at the 2 starter decks for now. Part of me wants to get all 3 but I think 2/3 is good enough for now.

      @Adam0193Official ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah prices are absolutely outrageous right now.
      It’s a combination of high demand of a brand new card game, and stores only getting very limited quantities (low supply).
      Wait a little bit for stores to get more of their shipments and prices will fall as the game gets more affordable. Reprints down the line will also remedy this.

    Pretty much every single card (except for a few very chase ones) at TCGplayer is already going for about half of the price in this prediction. Hopefully that means the closed product will get back to normal prices in a few weeks as well. Would be lovely to get to play the game without having to spend insane money

    So what is the range of what a competitive deck costs at this point? It would have to be in the hundreds of dollars at least. I really hope it comes down considerably or there will only be casual play for the game.

    Look, ill be the first to admit the prices WERE overinflated. Now that the dust has settled and people are starting to see whats meta, the prices have evened out. Repunzel GWH is about $50 at time of writing this. Thats because its META and A LOT of people dont understand what that is so they complain about it. SO i will explain it: When a card is good and universally used in the top decks, it WILL BE EXPENSIVE. It sucks but thats the way it is and always has been in every TCG.
