ALL IN - LORD OF THE RINGS 

It's going to be pretty tough selling expensive boxes or any boxes when the cards inside have no value after pre release

This price for this right now is shit. $1800 maybe $1600 for like $600 worth of cards is shameful. Wth wizards.

The LOTR boosters have been some of my favorite booster to open in my 23 years of playing the game.

isnt this going to tremendously devalue the original set which was already over-printed? and that came out just a few months ago? Could there be a bigger signal that they dont care about their customers than to reprint a better version of what they just sold us? this is the turning point for me. I've cut my Magic budget by nearly half each month since the summer and I only see it going further and further down. this has become pointless

I really like the poster cards and the box openings thanks for opening Rudy !

I researched it. 20 different poster cards, each has regular, foil, serialized. EBay has reg for $5--15, foil 20-35, serials lots more. Also 1 rings are 100/250/5k and still bidding.

"youre going to see some insane box openings in magic" unless its vintage boxes its just patrons getting hosed on modern product 😂😂

rudy... I love your box openings... you can tell you love cards ... it takes me back to the feeling of opening packs before spoilers came along ... you an BBD from MTG Attitude you both rock

It feels like opening sports hobby boxes chasing signed cards

The art posters are needed. Look after the collector ... These poeple will keep the hobby growing too and it makes it a great chase card

got 4 from my LGS. loved it. got the alt 1 ring foil

The posters cards look like something you would find in a head shop.

black aragorn

Another collector box release. Another collector box collapse lol. Don't worry timmys, maybe in 10 years you will break even on your "investments" lol.

20:30 Oh shit Tom Brady

Love the new six box opening change!

Those poster cards are pretty cool looking, some of the art is wild

love this content.

You know when someone is excited to pull garbage … that’s the person ho sold you the garbage

I've opened one box so far, and tbh I think it's better than the first release. I love the new look. I agree that it's expensive, if you like lotr, and have some spare change, I personally think it's worth it. I'm planning on getting another one. EDIT! I forgot to mention, the surge foils look amazing in this set

Missed that Quick Reflexes. That's a $25 card, only found in these packs and the Aragon holiday collector box.

Rudy Opening Quick Reflexes and Galadriels Dismissal Surge in one pack - ah thats a terrible pack - I love it ;)

The skipping rhyme is, "All in, a bottle of gin. All out, a bottle of stout."

Once he wore grey He fell and slipped away from everybody's sight The wizard of them all Came back from his fall this time wearing white

60 days out - everything going to zero besides Bowmasters and the One Ring.

All the new products are expensive whether they are good or not

That Quick Reflexes is a new card in the set and is like 25 to 30 dollars roughly.

Looking forward to picking up a full set on card market for pennies; way to devalue your own product, Hasbro!

Before I watch this: does Rudy know what slots he's looking in?

Magic is dead. I come to RU-vid to support those in need. Company has removed all the collector value from the set. Can't continue to buy and support from them - this is the only way. This game dying would be for the best. Decades of joy stopped to corporate pockets. Floppy taco for life.

They sure did may orcish bowmasters hard to pull in these.

Love that art. The product (collectors) is designed for that, very nice.

Somehow pulled a serialized dol amroth after just 2 packs but no poster arts

23:27 nazgul :D

The problem of this set which i didnt even buy as an lgs is the pricing.. if the old collector box were high those are even higher for trash cards except 2, orcs & ring.. sad times

Can we get sorcery box openings?

I actually hate that alternate art style. I was so excited for this set, and so let down

We need The Grateful Dead poster card set

1st pack black aragoyn. closed the video

The poster cards and the surge fouls I will say are very cool and pretty but this stuff is way too overpriced for what you get. I would love to see you do some SORCERY box openings because those are cards are so cool. Thanks for the vid!

The cards are beautiful and well made for US production… and I like the silver foiling and the surge foil is ok but not great🤔👍🏼 value wise I got annihilated in each pack! 9 Booster and only one „Bowmaster“ , two „Pact of negation“ and one „New dawn“ otherwise nothing pricey and no good playable cards that I didn’t already have… so even I like the set and the new artwork but I got busted hard!🙈

It's double special

Rudy, do you think the HAS dividend will be cut?

Poster looks great but seems like a SL that didn't happen

the surge foiling looked bad circa Shadowmoor.Doesn't look good now.

Yeah buddy!

This is the best box art in a long time

Ouch.

What's the over/under on how many serialized cards Rudy has? 🤔

It looks like 3 different sets in 1. You open a pack and the cards are all over the place. Plus the secret lair cards. Having a serialized version of the same card is dumb. If you serialize a card you shouldn't be able to get the same exact card without it.

Please make "game pieces" t-shirt

Poster cards are purely meant for a slab, not a sleeve in a deck. Wizards making cards not event intended to be played, while making "game pieces" a nickel.

If effectively this product does not do so well due to poor reception I wonder if it is for similar reasons than Double Feature. I see some similarities between this Special Edition and Double Feature. Both are a re-release of cards with only difference being different frames/art (i know in DF case the art was the same). And the products being released only about six months apart. It feels like to me an attempt by Wizard to milk the last drop. Those who went heavy on OG LOTR release may not have financially recover to want to go hard on this second release. Anyway, LOTR will be like MH2 to me... high artificial single card prices in the first months driving fomo to buy into very expensive sealed boxes. And then WotC keep the product in print during two years and putting so much of the cards on the market so the value decline a lot and only a handful of very sought after cards keep a bit of decent value. But in the end, everyone that buy into exepensive seald prices get screw, cause there is no guarantee by WotC that paying higher price for their product means you get more value in these products. LOTR will be the same thing. People pay 300$ for a collector box and in two years they would get maybe what 80$ from an LGS if they sell them the cards they opened in that box?

FOLKS! ❤

Another great episode of rudy not giving a f about the opening video he makes

I like those poster cards. For sure 60's Fillmore vibes.

I saw a dude opening it at my lgs who ive played edh with a couple times. He pulled the "secret lair" (that's what im calling the art style that can be serialized. His was not.) one ring. Looked good. Also got the parchment looking bowmasters.

Wizards said getting a serialized in a pack is .1% regular poster was around 22%

Giggidy

i love the poster art... hate the scroll art but more supply into the market for cards the better it gets for players

WotC could have maintained sales of booster draft boxes. When they release new sets. Put certain alternative frame, foils, art work cards not in boxes for that set. Instead, they are only inserted into booster draft boxes. It may effect the outcomes of booster draft tournaments somewhat. However, the problems caused by the unexpected. This is made up for players joining tables to play draft.

As an artist to me the simple black borders next to the art completely kill the old parchment direction of the rest of the card, pity.

i like the game

some of these poster cards need to be actual posters if they aren't already.

so its not only enough to make every 2 months a new secret lair, now they have to put in those secret lair flashy cards in a regular set.. ICANT

Id be really grateful if someone could could explain what the difference is between these boxes and the original first release, thanks in advance!

This is a sleeper set, with so many chasing serialized it's devaluing many cards in the short term. Long term this whole set is going to climb in value and popularity and settle as one of the top 5 sets in mtg.

The number on the card literally says xx/xx

I think that the new foil type is called Silver Foil

Lez go!!!!!??

There is a lot of hidden value in there. The surge foil Morgul Knife and Henneth Annun, those cards from the original release. Some of those can be $60 or more and some of the foil poster cards are expensive as well. Legolas Reflexes, Sylvan Tutor, Timber Protector

I can get two boxes of beta Sorcery for the price of one of these boxes. I'll take Sorcery thanks.

you missed a nazgûl in box 4

there is about 80 card over $20 on TCGplayer

wait til Rudy finds out about the $5 common

The posters look like 70's hippie rubbish and not at all appropriate for LotR.

Nice but not sure about playable

Where are the sorcery openings ?

Honest answer: I don't like it. To my eyes this looks like a symbol of inflation. "All that glitters"-the set. If everything is flashy nothing is. I think looking at this that the foil-multiplicator could invert at some point. If somebody would have sent me one of those time travelling back to 2017 I would have been exited. If somebody would have sent me the almost all foil box I would be disturbed. Maybe as a German I have a histoicly REALLY bad felling about inflationary situations but isn't anybody seeing the analogy? What's going to be almost as worse is the IP-mess looming on the horizon. LotR is a good IP, but I don't want MtG cards from it. And maybe I'm missing out on financial opportunities but my basic criteria has always been "Would you like it an your shelf?" and the answer is a clear "No". Do I want to see them playing against me "No". Now there is Doctor Who, Gozilla, Transformers, Walking Dead. I wander do people really want to see these IP's all in the same game? This reminds me of that Big Bang theory episode with the cowboy and the white wizard in the card game? I'm not cutting MtG as a whole but I definitely move more into everthingelse. Rudy is giving this a in my opinion pretty positive spin and I don't know if the risks are that managable. Maybe everyone should be reminded to definitely do "the big boy stuff" first and that there are other card games. I don't know why there are so many MtG videos with the Sorcery release ongoing? Has it been that much of a dumster fire?

Id rather watch an M19 box opening.

These cards look beautiful, love the way they look. Much better than the first set imo

These frames are indeed great, much better than the soulless look of post 2003 MTG

Artwork is great on these boxes imo

🍻 it’s always a good day when master Timmy uploads

More rare than these fancy, schmansey poster art cards? 🤔 Lorien Revealed! 😅 How many did you all catch during the box opening? (*I counted one) The Legendary, Mythic Common! 🙃

Woah

Im here from Umu, your biggest fan.

Not much cheaper here in Oz…$590 a box, where the first release was generally $640. The cheapest I’ve seen the original is $530. Still haven’t managed to buy one yet, just can’t afford it.

20:25 LMAO HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HES EVEN OPENING AND ITS GREAT.

Im not diggin these. Im glad you like them though.

Let's go!! I'm all in on Mara. Lol Yee!!

We WUZ KANGS!

How much for a box of these?

All in, every filling, Lord of the Taco's. Yummy!!

Dude, those cards actually look cool! What! ????

I love the poster art, but I don't think it is a great fit for Lord of the Rings^^

The posters are fine for game peices. Phyrexian text is popular, and full art novel text box cards like omnath are big. Strixhaven jp alt art are still great to use. They're great game pieces, maybe not the serial ones.

Average price for a poster card is 10 bucks(excluding the 1 ring)

Beautiful cards 🤩
