Slight correction, the jumbo card collections come with 3 packs not 2 so the value proposition is actually much better. Just slightly more per pack than packs in a booster box.
VMAX Climax was my first Japanese set and it was awesome opening boxes of those. My body is ready for vstar universe. Just gotta be patient just like everything else Pokemon TCG wise.
Another excellent video, JLuv. I'm currently seeing these for like $100ish per box on eBay, I think I'm gonna pass for now. But I'll hold out until January and buy a box or two, then start buying singles. Singles for VMax Climax got pretty reasonable during summer 2022 so I'm hoping the same for this set too.
Thanks again for the wonderful tips! I just bought both Diamond Clan / Pearl Clan for my sealed collection. It was a bit above retail but nothing extremely out of the ordinary. Now I'll just wait for the Vstar universe Booster Box to drop them prices in a couple of months :)
I think most would do well to wait a while, VMAX Climax and other High Class sets are usually available for almost an entire year; but the FOMO is real. Fight the scalpers by making them lose money :)
I got lucky and jumped on a restock of 3 VU boxes for near retail earlier on. Excited to crack these with my brother and bask in the final SwSh high-class set of amazing art.
Just got into collecting about 3 months ago so ive never bought japanese cards so vstar universe is so tempting but so pricey, but probably going to wait & see if prices will calm down a bit. Awesome video !
You said Gloria was super cheap for a period, especially if you lived in Europe. Could you elaborate on that? I'm from Switzerland and I don't get how that card would've been cheaper for me. Very insightful video - as always - thank you so much
I got one box in on time and already pulled Elesa, I have two more boxes coming in but after that imma wait a while and see how the market goes on these.
I'll wait unfortunately. I missed out, and had plenty of time to buy some for $57 at okiniland, don't know why I didn't. A month or 2 from now, this set should be available at close to retail and the cards should be much cheaper. I'd say the 4 Gold (UR) and both Friends' In cards will remain high. Everything else should be affordable, at least imo.
From what I've seen, the gold Vstars don't take up a SR or SAR slot, looks like the gold vmaxes from climax (additional hit in the box ontop of the expected hits)
Thanks JLuv for the most up-to-date information on Japanese Pokemon Cards. I wish I still lived in Japan. It's difficult now to buy Japanese Cards in the US.
Is it true that the 9-card AR artwork like the card you can assemble can only be pulled from the special "godpack" with all 9 cards inside. Would explain how they are so much more expensive
I ended up finding 4 at 75 a piece but the same websites shot up to 100 shortly after that and i got real lucky and got 1 from the lottery on Japanese pokemon center for now im gone wait and see when they go down 5 is plenty don't really want to pay 100 dollars a box.
UR>ALL! Are we ever going to see a gold Charizard Vstar :( we never got a Vmax gold im sad !!!! Also to bad the jumbos didn’t make it into regular size cards ?? Do you know if in English they will be promos ?
Luv ur videos! I was scammed recently from two resealed boxes before watching your videos, I was wondering if you know where to buy these booster boxes from a trusted distributor online? My previous purchase was from amazon, and had received unopened sealed boxes, however the second time around I got scammed from the same distributor… PLS HELP 🙏🏼 thank you!
12x BBs for 92€/pc was a good deal?... Vmax Climax I paid 125€ for 1x BB and later did not manage to resell shit of it, total waste if you ask me. But Vstar Universe looks dope, and I will grade the good cards, that is for sure :)
In EU sealed boxes go for around 75 euros, prices will crumble soon since it's a highclass with a massive print. Will most likely behave like Climax: drop in the next month or two then up.
I hope what ever happened to Charizard Ultra Premium Collection, happen on VSTAR Universe. Japan, please don't disappoint. Teach those who spent anything above USD$50 (not including shipping) buying from scalpers a lesson.
Hmm... there are some great cards in this set. But, holy crap that example box opened by Pokemon youtube was really underwhelming. I'm definitely not buying a box at $100usd. To hell with that! LOL
@@fluffy91 I think you are close. I don't think it is nearly as cool as everyone wants to believe it is. But, it's okay... I'm tired of being broke all of the time. 😮💨
if anyone has a box for $40 hmu… i’ve been trying so hard but i couldnt even get paradigm trigger. Any advice besides using a paid discord (which is dumb)?? I have all the twitter subs… email notifs, never matters.
