Should You Pick Up The NEW VSTAR Universe Set? 

I said this before, but i do think this is the greatest set ever released. An amazing amount of chase cards, balanced pull rates, lovely new arts among reprints.

The title should really be "Should you NOT pick up VStar Universe?" One thing to keep in mind is that this set is likely to be heavily printed. The hype is really high right now both inside and outside of Japan, and it would be wise to wait for the prices to drop. $80 is a price point we'll likely see in a few months and even lower at $60 depending on quantity available. Paying $100+ for booster box is not wise at this point even though this set is amazing.

I love that in this set you can't get spooked by a bad gold card, happened to me too many times, if you see gold you're getting gold no matter what lol

just a friendly heads up, the only gold cards in this set are the gods/legends, so if you see a gold border rest assured you don't have to worry about a gold item card ;p

Hi, I’m new to getting Pokémon cards, where should I get the card sleeves you got from the video?

Don't know if everyone is aware of this issue, but buy at your own risk, because this set is weighable, and apparently lighter booster boxes have more hits than heavy, according to one Poke-tuber I've watched recently. And apparently, you can also see through the packs with a magnifying glass, which now turns me off from buying online. Now I don't know who I should trust. People are such SBs when it comes to Pokemon cards.🙄

Cheers from Japan!! Great video and keep going!! May you show us in the next video all the boxes in the background? I am just curious. I will appreciate it.

Hey Jake just wondering which marketplace/platform you used to find a Japanese collector interested in english stuff?

Do you think that loose booster packs from the s&s series will be worth $100+ dollars in the future?

I got mine from Amazon JP last week! Pulled the amazing Palkia gold card. Looking forward to buying another box when prices drop.

wow, Jake you hit the motherload ! 😂. i ordered 3 boxes myself through japanese resellers through local ecommerce platform in Singapore. just cracked open 1 box last night and got the same lucario, hope im as lucky to get a gold card

You missed both of the radiants 😫 hahahaha…. Always look forward to your videos Jake!

Got a bunch of boxes. Do you think I should keep some sealed or just open them and buy some more when the price drops and keep some of those sealed? Great content! Glad I found your channel. I got into Pokemon cards for my son and we have been having a great time starting to collect and opening boxes. He wants to do a RU-vid channel like all you guys out here. Thanks for the great info!

Great video as always picked up 6 from NinNin

Ah, such amazing Arceus 🤩 Congrats on your pulls Jake!

Hey man going to Japan in Feb and was thinking of bringing 5 Charizard upcs.. how much did they pay for them in Japan?

I also had a question, what do you with your extra cards that are not the rare ones? I’m to Pokémon collecting.

Absolutely love this set! waiting until the price drops in a few months and a couple reprints happen to open a few and keep some sealed!

I seriously think everyone should buy every single japanese premium set booster box like this, i also think that people should buy every japanese premium collection set kinda like you did with the pikas and so forth. Japanese + premium = safe to buy MANY at retail its been proven to only go up. Look at ssv & vmax climax just random small examples

The art is gorgeous in this set, but I'm worried about overprint for the english version, what would be your take on keeping some Crown Zenith sealed? Do you think they'll print it to oblivion?

Although the Arceus Gold card looks amazing, my personal favourite has to be the Sinnoh/Hisu FA trainer cards + the Cynthia FA card

I got the irida FA from vstar universe and it came out damaged. I've opened 5 boxes of vstar universe so far and it was the only card that came out like that. Super unlucky

It really is a great set! I Pulled the Gold Giratina on Xmas Eve in my first box! Waiting on my second in the mail now.

where did you preorder it from! For under retail that's a deal!!!

I paid equivalent of about 90 USD for boxes more than wished but I wanted it in hand quickly rather than waiting for more supply. Was a bit surprised when I saw the singles are already pretty affordable though so I felt like maybe I should have saved the money for when the box prices drop. But had a lot of fun opening and thought 1st box was a bit of a bust best was Drapion SAR but 2nd box had Suicune V SAR & Arceus Vstar gold, 3rd box almost as good Simisear VStar SAR & Origin Forme Palkia gold. So worth it for me, wont be doing a master set but will certainly try to get an AR and SAR set. So beautiful.

This set looks fun to open, love the variety

The answer is a resounding YES!!! One of the funnest sets to open- and singles prices aren’t out of control. Opened a few boxes and now I’m buying my favorite singles. Was lucky enough to pull a god pack 😊

Where is the best place online to buy non tampered booster packs/box's?

Definitely the best SWSH set! Arceus gold card is stunning.

they may be a mistake on your links, you should check that. they point to boosters prices 3 times MSRP. I suggest to your audience to wait in a month and get 2-3 boxes instead of 1 for the same price

I pulled a Gold Giratina and a Gold Dialga plus the god pack 201-209 god pack.

When do you think prices on the vstar universe boxes will come down?

Please if you see this, there is a card you need to review, its a Japanese Lillie 66/60 from base sun and moon, the prices can reach up to FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, no one has ever talked about this card

Loved how you’d didn’t notice the radiant eternatus 😂😂

Coming in hot! Hi Jake! Excited to see your new video as always! :D

14:12 that’s a radiant btw

grats on god card! Wish I had any streamers pull luck ;)

Was unlucky and lucky at the same time with this set. 2 booster boxes like , 2 gold cards (Arceus and Palkia) but Palkia was damaged right away in the pack. At least the Arceus is flawless like yours. This set is the bomb!

Thanks for sharing the love of collecting! Love the content love the channel! Merry Ripmas!!!

Hurts me how you tossed away the 2 radiant cards... 🥺🥺

is there going to be an english version of this set?

Hey Jake you skipped through two radiant cards one Gardevoir and one Eternatus 😊

Love your channel. I'm new to it but I really like how you don't put on a show like other channels. To much over acting and dramatic fake enthusiasm. You are genuine. ❤️👍👍👍❤️ by the way how do I pick up 1 of those V star boxes? Would really like one.

Vmax climax dropped to 50$ after a couple of months out I think ima hold out until 60$

Halfway through the video and the Latios and Lapras look amazing. Not sure how I feel about the extreme close-up Lucario and Zeraora

You should check out the special Diamond & Pearl clan special boxes! They are super cute!

The gold card is sick. Hopefully psa will give it a 10

Did you profit from the second box?

crazy set def hoping the print it more :)

Amazing pull Jake!🤯

Anyone else notice he didn't realize there was a Radiant Eternatis card in the pack? hahahaha

Might get another box with the reprints

where did you buy?

These are the only gold cards in this set. Nice hit!!!

i managed to get 2 boxes (thouggh did pay a premium). I did pull the gold palkia, but boy do i wish it had been the arceus or giratina.

Where did yall buy these

You did not pay attention to the sparkling cards :(

What card does the gold card replace? The SAR or second possible SR? Can someone confirm?

Hell I'm not even the one opening the pack and I'm like "Whooooo!!! Daddy Arceus!!!

Lovely video 🔥🔥🔥😻 really enjoyed it

Why are you ignoring the radient cards? They are beautiful, especially in Japanese

What sites cand you uses to get This

We can weigh this set ? I hope not...

Can't justify opening these boxes at the current price unfortunately. But I am enjoying watching others open up them up.

Don't know how I missed this video. Japanese cards and booster boxes are so much better than the US sets. Love the quality and hits.

I payed way more than I'd like to admit , but honestly it was worth it! Japanese always feels better to open in general but these guaranteed pull sets feel AMAZING! Buy at your own risk for sure, but if you're gonna just grab one to open it is SO fun!

How about a consumer warning about the re-sealing and pack scanning/ sorting issues? Seen the okJLUV video?

You missed the radiant card at 14:39

Jake waiting for your take on precious collector box video

Jake! You missed the Radiant Eternatus!!

I'm waiting on mine in the mail. A few more days

Congrats jake !!!

Wishing the best pulls for you bud!

このパックは開けていて本当に楽しい。 アルセウスおめでとうございます！

This will be my first Japanese set I get to open

wow, awesome gold card pull

Corvaknight is my favorite Pokemon of all time !!!!!!!

Mad set!

where can you get these at msrp or below $70? I have proxies and blackship, but proxies are too slow to get items on yahoojapan

great video!!!

Love this set. Hoping crown zenith is similar to the quality

I wouldn’t pick up right now for 100$. Way overpriced and with recent news there’s a bunch of scams with these boxes. Such as resealing booster boxes. Even cases. People are checking the packs for “SAR”. At which point I’m afraid to even buy unless it’s a trusted seller.

I'm scared of crown zenith pull rates

Are you going to talk about the anime?

Jake you skipped right over that Radiant card at 14:13

i'm 100% buying at least one box when im in japan next year

U missed the raidiant gardivor

Nice pull

Just fully skipped over the radiant Eternatus

The party started without you lmao ! Mad late!

I stopped supporting pokemon TCG after I dropped over $1000 on lost origins and not a single alt art. I get there needs to be rarity, but the reality is times are hard and pokemon is sadly pulling a stunt over everyone. I'm just going to save what I already have and sell it as soon as it becomes reasonable to sell. Good luck to everyone else. Also I bought directly from pokemon center , so I didn't get scammed by someone

Gold Alt Arts just be hitting different 🥰

i like how u just completely ignored the radiant eternatus xd

The reason US cards are low quality is because the US audience is OK with low quality.

Bro had no reaction when he pulled that card

The vstar universe boxes are still about the same price

Becareful. Guess the boxes can be weighed. Also searched by the vstar logo.

At 14:15 there is a shiny card that you have skipped 😂😂😂

Nice pulls... Sheesh louish+

Please tell me you didn’t over pay on these Jake, you’re better than that.
