Thanks! I can ship to the US but it's not available through my store. Typically because tcgs are a bit cheaper in the US anyway so having to pay UK/EU prices then add international shipping on top it's not really worth it for sealed modern tcg sets. If there was something you'd be interested in or want to discuss though just let me know at: info@cardkami.co.uk
Thank for the information. Do you think the price increases in Azur Lane and Hololive 2 are due to vendors under ordering because previous sets underperformed (like Naz 2 and Slime 3) or was demand truly underestimated? What do think will happen with Spy X Family and Chainsaw Man? Feels like supply will be higher due to Azur Lane and Hololive 2 doing so well.
Honestly in my personal opinion I don't think overlord 2 and slime 3 had anything to do with it. Pretty sure hololive 2 and AZ preorders were closed before overlord and slime had come out anyway. I just think its what was expected, they were really great sets, the cards were super nice and a lot of people were looking forward to it. Also female only sets with lewd cards - a typical recipe for success in Weiss Schwarz. I don't think Spy X or Chainsaw will be impacted by the success of hololive and AZ. I think both of those sets will do "ok/good" but I'm not expecting them to do as well as hololive 2 and AZ did. Purely because there's no big lewd waifu cards. But we will see!
Interesting thing about the Guity Gear set is that some of the SPs(2-3 per case) and OFRs(1 per case) are somewhat high priced. The MORE interesting thing is the sign card is not only high priced, but apparently is NOT counted as a hit in a case. Meaning, that if you get all of the hits(all of the SP and OFR) in your case, there is still a chance to pull the sign card. Hopefully that means it'll be harder to have dead cases.
Exactly what I did with revue starlight movie; bought 6 boxes about the $24 range back in November and opened half for fun and pulled the SEC Karen. Fits nicely in binder. As for Arifureta, liked the anime so bought some sealed product.
Ah amazing! That’s just so cheap for so many boxes I wish I could get them that cheaper here but international shipping costs just makes so much of the price savings disappear! Congrats on the hit!
What I found ironic is that Kaguya 2 and Bandori 5th have expensive rrs due to play. It's been a while since I've looked but I think you can make some money back on singles. Revue Starlight was a travesty. Bushi listen to a very small vocal minority that were begging for it. The sets were doomed to fail. Neither of them were even relevant for play when they came out in Japan. I love the franchise but I have a massive collection of it in JP. There was just no reason whatsoever to double buy. Guilty Gear could see a comeback. If it does well in Springfest there will be a rush to buy it up. Friends of mine are seeing things in testing so maybe the player community finds something. The start of this year should be better. Spy and csm both have cards for collectors and players both. Great video btw
Oh wow yeh that's odd, EV is probably in the positive for those sets then while they are so so cheap. Yeh I mean I still can't get over that 19.99 sale of it! I wonder since dengeki if we will see slightly less buying of JP sets. Guess we will seen when blue archive, Frieren etc have released. Oh that would be interesting, if GG makes come back due to play, will have to keep an eye out on that! Always appreciate you and your player knowledge of game and meta! Fingers crossed of to better start this year haha
It's sad to see these sets at such a low price. Kaguya is so popular but the lack of signs (idk why they didnt do serialized cards at least) and not meta. Banlist is also hurting it too... Oh well :(
Well the problem here is there are 4 hits per case of 18 boxes. So statically it's one SP per 4.5 boxes. However you then have the issue of the set being out a while and that potentially a lot of booster boxes on the second hand market could likely be the "dead" boxes from a case where they have already got their 4 hits. Problem is you'll never know. I can only recommend preordering for new release from reputable stores/sellers to make sure you get a good chance. But statically even 3 boxes for that set the odds are against you.
Sorry I actually looked at the wrong saekano set! I looked at the 2022 one instead of the 2023 set! The 2023 set is around $30-35 anyway! 😅
Really helpful information! Do you sell to USA Customers also?

That’s brilliant! I’m all for them making changes to remove the situation of dead boxes as much as possible! Thanks for sharing that info! 🙏
I have 3 cases of Azur lane. 1 is a master case. Sell now or hold?

I pulled sh*t! Buying ONLY singles from this brand.
