*Have you ever bought one of these Yu-Gi-Oh mystery products? What did you get?* 👀 The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/teamaps03211
I got a mystery pack when I was a kid in Hawaii and the first yu-gi-oh series was still airing on 4kids. The pack was advertised as rare cards that you couldnt find in America. Oh, they're were right, you couldnt find these cards in America, cuz they were common cards just printed in Spanish!
Here’s a story from when I bought a Power Box with my friends to see who would get scammed the most it was one with Yu-Gi-Oh! Merchandise and I got a Spanish version of Joey’s old deck
Ive had absolutely unfair nutty luck with power boxes, i think ive pulled all 5 pieces of exodia, two gate guardians secrets, and a ton of good secrets from newer sets in more recent power boxes, from my experience anything MJholding has good value in it.
@@thischannelisnotmine I mean, these exact same cards from the reprint sets are worth almost nothing anyways. Of course they're cool if you're a casual player and is pulling them as a joke - Just like the video said - but they're not worth anything really
What no one else talks about is case mapping; opening enough boxes in a case to pull that starlight rare and a good amount of the pricey secrets, and then selling the other boxes for a slight discount where one of them may be missing a secret or an ultra.
@@gavinator1775 - That's basically all my local Wal-Mart is selling as well. In fact, there basically purging all of their card game products and are basically out of everything that isn't old product at this point.
I remember a few years ago in the Magic community these mystery cubes started popping up. They became popular because the company was putting old commander decks in them (which normally sell for 120 bucks) and the cubes were like 20 bucks. People were weighing them in stores to find the boxes that held commander decks. However they were like most other things a scam. If you didn’t find one with a commander deck in it they were pretty worthless. And some of them might have had the weight of the commander deck but not necessarily held one. They just jammed extra cards in to make it appear like there was a commander inside. I found one once and it was all lands.
I’ve been noticing y’all’s video quality increasing, this video is a great example of that. Super well done guys, and as always thanks for the tidbits of info.
I don't play Yu-gi-oh but Ive followed this channel for about a year and I've loved how well this was filmed and edited, the script writing, the B-roll, the L/J cuts, keep it up. This is amazingly done!
I'm a newbie to the trading/collecting cards game. While browsing at Wal-Mart I was shocked to see low prices paired w/ card sets of 25 Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh!, a variety of Yu-Gi-Oh!/Pokémon super packs or what I now call, ' BS promises packs ' after reading the back of both products. ' The collectible products in this package have been purchased directly from the manufacturer or purchased from the secondary market & repackaged for retail sales by MJ Holding Company, LLC.MJ Holding Company, LLC is not affiliated with the individual manufacturers or trading card companies contained within this product. All related trademarks and logos are trademarks of their respective owners '. AKA We need to profit from every card, picked from the trash, repackaged, low prices. I didn't make a purchase. Appreciate the videos.
Tolarian Community College, a very famous MTG TH-camr who even has collaborated with Team APS has said the exact same thing every time he reviews one of these.
@@komeiuo3465 I have bought maybe like 8-10 of these and have been mostly okay with the results, I have gotten a ghost rare star eater and a chaos emperor dragon as the best pulls. The value of these boxes lies in some of the random cards that inflate in value because of the banlist boosting decks. Battle pack herald of orange lights were easy to get out of mystery power boxes due to BP03. Those went up to above 8 bucks for a common for a short time. It’s not value for everyone, but there’s some gems to be found everywhere.
And Cimo was wrong then like APS are now, target sealed products are a scam, but in my experience anything packaged by MJ holding has pretty massive value and are unscaled.
You guys should do something informative like this with the theme of buying things online from places outside TCGPlayer. I feel like it would be very helpful for newer people getting into YuGiOh.
I’ve always felt like these were a scam just by how their packaging looks. Good job on the ad plugs by the way! You fit them in really fluently and they were well done.
At least they’re not as bad as Pokémon where you can’t even find a single pack from 2018 and the packs that are locked to shelves are already ripped open because they need a store attendant to get them for you. Yugioh has it lucky.
I at least got a few Lightning Overdrive packs. As I was going to the register, I saw someone just left one of those mystery boxes on a random shelf and I just got it because I want to open packs again lol
damn this video came a day too late for me. Bought 3 of these at walmart. Some the of the cards were damaged, and in one of them the foil card was just a cardboard advertisement for a Yu-gi-oh video game.
I remember when my local Target and KMart had Yugioh cards. I remember when my local Target and KMart had anything. They're gone now, just like my childhood.
Thank you Team APS, for actually making an educational video about this without actually opening the scam products. Action speaks louder than words, and in the past I often get upset when I see other Yugitubers trying to educate yet at the same time contradict their words through their action (by opening said products). Well made video.
Watching the beginning and seeing how many Yugioh products that store had made me realize how good I used to have it. My Walmart has 0 Yugioh products anymore. Just an empty shelf.
Watching this kinda made me wish that konami would make little blister packs with those keychains and pins more. Seems like a fun way to branch out more and give fans more to collect.
@@coletonmarino1310 I think jobber got an LoB Red-eyes out of one of those. I’m sure they’re mostly junk, like he said, but there’s definitely a chance of something cool.
I recently purchased the mystery box and Walmart and you were correct it didn't contain a structure deck like the box had promised. I thought it was just a packaging issue, I has no idea they company's were just repackaging and selling cards at a lower value
This product tricks grandparents looking to buy cards for their grandchildren all the time. I work retail and I have talked a lot of grandparents out of buying them because they often ask my opinion on if they will like them.
I recently bought a mystery power box out of curiosity and I ended up pulling a First edition flames of destruction Infinite impermanence so I personally think alot of these are just gambles depending on the resellers
I will say that in my experience with the mystery cubes and monster boxes, the packs have never seemed weighed in terms of pulls, and most of the time, I open the legacy pack and just sets that have ultis in them and keep the rest sealed. It’s really hard to find the legacy packs these days, so it’s really nice to be able to get them. That being said, this video provides some great info, people trying to build decks and play competitively definitely should avoid these. Thanks guys!
This scam also applies to other card games sold at major retailers at well, like those mystery cubes and mystery boxes they sell for magic the gathering. If you're going to spend money on trading card games, buy the singles you need every time. If you have a gambling addiction (which, lets be fair, most of us who play yugioh/pokemon/mtg really do.) buy sealed products instead, where at least the odds are a little more actually in your favor.
I once bought a mystery box that said it included a first edition legend of the blue eyes booster pack...but they lied. They gave me a Spanish version of the pack that was the recent reprint
I miss the days when these were decent. Back in gx and 5ds days it was just random stuff in them and it wasent a shock to make your value back in foils
@@romkin1197 the ones I use to get had I believe 5 packs, the cube, and 5 holos for 15$. All I remember what’s pulling a ultra burei from the pack as a random insert card for when it was like a 15$ card so it paid for the rest
The only target that actually has anything to buy from is in an upper class neighborhood. Luckily my visit to Seattle paid off with a small store that had plenty of sealed packs.
I just found this out the hard way from Wal-Mart and Pokemon Cards. They're repackaged by MJ Holding Company LLC. So, repackaged by a 3rd party to resell. Being the price they are, obviously they're not gonna put good cards in them like it is randomly at the real manufacturer.
Hey, im in university learning game design and unreal engine. The guy in the skillshare sponsor talking about the ability to learn is greater than what you learn/already know is very very true. Open mind, and thinking and internalizing new information is more important than having info. Learning and growing as a professional is a big core part of a career.
Man, I buy these every so often because I'm a masochist who loves to be disappointed. It reminds me of the same feelings I get when I think of my relationship with my dad.
That still kinda blows my mind. I am not even sure i ever saw a repackaged, not konami licened yugioh product in ANY store in germany. Yes some game stores like where you play and can buy singles sometimes have such gimmicky packages but not a real storechain like that where it is professionally repackaged. Feels so weird to see that.
Its kind of funny when I was still playing the game and I saw these boxes, I thought someone would just repackaged these and just sell them for a profit.
I wish my stores actually had packs and stuff they only have ice barrier deck and light charmers 😢 Also did you hear about the new tin that's coming out I'm excited for that dark magician vs blue eyes
I've seen those a few years ago and I didn't buy it because there is a fine print on the box somewhere that clearly state that it's just leftover cards and some would be preowned with unknown condition. So yeah, that's when I was like "yep I would shell more money for randoms than unwanted cards".
Monster boxs are the best of these products. You can often get pretty decent pulls more frequently from it as opposed to the others. Examples: Secret Imperm, 2 secret invocation, ghost neo galaxy eyes photon dragon, etc
Thank you for these reviews for the average consumer. Not everyone can splurge for the top tier sets and usually have to settle for these 'value packs'. One of the many reasons I adore this channel.
I use to be able to hold and feel a pack of yugioh and 98% of the time reveal a foil within that pack. Weight and thickness always seemed different than most packs. Strange talent i had.
A few parts of this is wrong. The distributor does not buy back the unsold merchandise. It's not really in store inventory at all. Pay from scan or Pay on scan merch is pretty common. A lot of damaged, partially stolen or old merch gets returned regularly. That's where they get the stuff to fill these packs with.
Me watching this from erbil: at least you don't have to order online a structure deck is 10$ but with delivery and all for me it is 30-40$ also me: realizes this is a vid how not to get scammed oo ya about that No all jokes aside can we appreciate the video
The way I see it is if you want specific cards go with TCG player or by sealed boxes. If you just want to expand your collection then booster packs or Walmart mystery boxes.
Basically lookout for anything with the word “mystery” Mystery means, the fun adventurous feeling of not knowing something (especially what you’re getting)
The only ones that are worth getting are the monster boxes. It has the packs you get on the back of the box and you are basically buying 10 boosters for 4 bucks each. Also there aren't any battle or star packs
Since like, the top deck days I've had a graded dark energy a friend gave me. It's not only a common but it's not even a first edition. I have no idea why it exists.
So I bought a couple of these at Target for like $5 a while back. They can be all right for someone who hasn't played in a decade and wants to play casually with friends. I pulled an Artifact Lancea from one and it turned out to be a pretty good call against my friends who threw feather duster at me.
I hadn't bought a single pack of Yu Gi Oh cards for more than a decade BUT....but I had downloaded the Yu Gi Oh game app from the app store & playing online. Managed to save myself a headache from buying at Walmart or other retail stores.
Long story short, mystery boxes are how sellers of basically anything can sell things that otherwise wouldn't. Any extras added to make it enticing are really nowhere near as valuable as you're hoping.
I like hunting for cards by luck and not weighing them to see what packs I should buy. I find it more fun to see what cards I could get out of a random pack.
Bruh I remember I used to buy the $10 mystery sports package that guaranteed an autographed card and I always used to get people I never even heard of 💀
Years ago around 2005 or so, I had bought one of these products. It was one of those 20 card packs with a random foil. To my suprise, I got a HALF a starter deck of Kaiba Evolution. Like bruh... As for a Cube, I bought one of those, got some cool cards, but mostly if not all were worthless. Though I did like my Dark Necrofear. These aren't worth it.
Hm... Aaah... yes, I remember these. When I was a child waaay back, when the pegasus deck was still new, I got given one of these full of Masked Beast and THousand Eyes Restrict.
Target does the same thing with Magic the Gathering stuff as well. Ever since I found the Demonic half of Divine vs. Demonic in one of the repackaged plastic cubes I've always checked for value there. Funny thing is that I didn't know the Demonic half was in there, I just wanted the original Ravnica Orzhov starter deck that was on one side.
I bought one of these a while back for 10 bucks. It came with a pretty good cyber dragon deck. Besides that the rest was dog water, but the plastic box was also quite nice

I bought a few of these once, I got good fuckin cards I wanted in a few decks I was running, but they were printed in fuckin Spanish too

Dude at least your wal Mart and target has cards lmao there’s literally NONE in my area
Same
I use to be able to hold and feel a pack of yugioh and 98% of the time reveal a foil within that pack. Weight and thickness always seemed different than most packs. Strange talent i had.
thank you for talking about the Yu-Gi-Oh Scam
A few parts of this is wrong. The distributor does not buy back the unsold merchandise. It's not really in store inventory at all.
Pay from scan or Pay on scan merch is pretty common. A lot of damaged, partially stolen or old merch gets returned regularly. That's where they get the stuff to fill these packs with.
Me watching this from erbil: at least you don't have to order online a structure deck is 10$ but with delivery and all for me it is 30-40$ also me: realizes this is a vid how not to get scammed oo ya about that
No all jokes aside can we appreciate the video
The way I see it is if you want specific cards go with TCG player or by sealed boxes. If you just want to expand your collection then booster packs or Walmart mystery boxes.
Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah, hold up the monster box SLAPS. I literally buy one every time I see them.
Basically lookout for anything with the word “mystery”
Mystery means, the fun adventurous feeling of not knowing something (especially what you’re getting)
Ayyyy I’m early for da first time
Ayyyy I'm early for DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA first time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven't heard that since 01.
Ygo cards are nearly nonexistent in my city. Only 1 store sells them and they fly off the shelves.
Reminds me of CDOs. A bunch of bad stuff packaged together makes something (actually not) less risky
The only ones that are worth getting are the monster boxes. It has the packs you get on the back of the box and you are basically buying 10 boosters for 4 bucks each. Also there aren't any battle or star packs
Since like, the top deck days I've had a graded dark energy a friend gave me. It's not only a common but it's not even a first edition. I have no idea why it exists.
So I bought a couple of these at Target for like $5 a while back.
They can be all right for someone who hasn't played in a decade and wants to play casually with friends.
I pulled an Artifact Lancea from one and it turned out to be a pretty good call against my friends who threw feather duster at me.
I hadn't bought a single pack of Yu Gi Oh cards for more than a decade BUT....but I had downloaded the Yu Gi Oh game app from the app store & playing online. Managed to save myself a headache from buying at Walmart or other retail stores.
Long story short, mystery boxes are how sellers of basically anything can sell things that otherwise wouldn't. Any extras added to make it enticing are really nowhere near as valuable as you're hoping.
I like hunting for cards by luck and not weighing them to see what packs I should buy. I find it more fun to see what cards I could get out of a random pack.
Yes, I’ve bought 1 before
The best card I got was a number that sucked ass
So, basically a good pack to buy for your kids to get something to start playing with, but not if you're looking for actually valuable stuff.
Bruh I remember I used to buy the $10 mystery sports package that guaranteed an autographed card and I always used to get people I never even heard of 💀
Big fan of this sort of video essay style! Good work!
Years ago around 2005 or so, I had bought one of these products. It was one of those 20 card packs with a random foil.
To my suprise, I got a HALF a starter deck of Kaiba Evolution. Like bruh...
As for a Cube, I bought one of those, got some cool cards, but mostly if not all were worthless. Though I did like my Dark Necrofear.
These aren't worth it.
Hm... Aaah... yes, I remember these. When I was a child waaay back, when the pegasus deck was still new, I got given one of these full of Masked Beast and THousand Eyes Restrict.
Target does the same thing with Magic the Gathering stuff as well. Ever since I found the Demonic half of Divine vs. Demonic in one of the repackaged plastic cubes I've always checked for value there. Funny thing is that I didn't know the Demonic half was in there, I just wanted the original Ravnica Orzhov starter deck that was on one side.
All of this footage is old as hell cause there are no cards at any Walmart or Target
I bought one of these a while back for 10 bucks. It came with a pretty good cyber dragon deck. Besides that the rest was dog water, but the plastic box was also quite nice
Ive always been suspicious of these things and never bought them as a result.
