WARNING: BANDAI PROMISES "ONE PIECE" REPRINTS OF OLD SETS 

Only scalpers don’t want reprints

Scalpers want reprints. They get more product to scalp more.

as it should be.

Good

Lorcana Attitude: Too Risky! Ravenburger will reprint it to oblivion! One PIece Attitude: Oh noh! Please don't reprint too much! All I know is by the end of this TCG era, there will a big 4 and most of the pandemic TCGs will be gone or dead like the other TCGs.

No demand for a failure

​@@jfkshouldofducked4348got nothing better to do then reply to every positive comment by saying nobody plays or the game is a failure? First you're just wrong on that. You're either a lame troll or just blindly thinking nobody plays or cares for this IP and the cards. It's gaining popularity big time and a reprint is needed. As long as they just do small print runs and just do small print runs to somewhat meet demand and not flood the market everyone benefits. But I feel like I'm wasting my time as you're just too stubborn or a lame troll that needs to figure a better way to spend their time imo. Best of luck to ya

The problem is the demand might not be there. Oh, there is some demand. But the demand we are seeing is INCREDIBLY inflated due to idiots like Rudy scooping up loads of boxes cause they only see money. So we are seeing a skewed demand right now, hence why boxes are double or more MSRP. But reprinting for that demand is still a good thing cause it might flush them right back out just like FaB did. So yes, reprints are actually good in almost every scenario regardless of what BS Rudy wants to claim.

​@@kennymorelandiii9406 I agree with you mostly, but I say go ahead and flood the market. I love watching flippers and gougers lose their shit when their "investment" goes down.

​@@jfkshouldofducked4348certified rudy supporter doing REAL WORK!

Not at all, the game is and will go down as a failure. Rudy is just looking to replace his meta investment

@@jfkshouldofducked4348sorry for your autism

​@@jfkshouldofducked4348worked out for digimon.

wild how a game where every event caps out is a failure@@jfkshouldofducked4348

​@jfkshouldofducked4348 The games been pretty successful so far so it'll survive for awhile at least.

I’m in NYC also, any stores in Queens?

Or any anime/gaming figure, they one of yhe biggest anime/gaming toy company.

Didnt do that for digimon when boxes hit $375 a piece. Just reprinted them plain and now theyre $90

and these sets worth none, cause they reprint them to later in the year, and people just buy the new set.

I doubt it. It's only been out for like a year so I don't think they are at the point of separating it into a 1st edition and a 2nd edition or however. If it was 2-3 years after the set came out I'd say sure they would be dumb not to separate the two but it is still within a time window imo that they won't signify the reprint in any way to show whether it's early print run or not

@@kennymorelandiii9406 We won‘t see a reprint until at least 2 years in to the game. OP06/07/08, EB01, Union Arena several sets, DBS masters, DB fusion world multiple sets…a lot of cards to be printed by bandai and these are only already announced sets

@@TheTimeChamber Nah they lost value cause the game was not fun anymore with complicated mechanics and bandai started a new game for DB with fusion world.

Yep too many scalpers that don’t want people to afford the game

No one plays the game

It’ll be really good for people who wanna play the game when they turn into the next Metazoo

@@jfkshouldofducked4348litterallly one of the biggest ccg being played right now

It’s also bad for players. Forces you to play the meta and who wants that?

No one plays One Piece you skin flute

That's the MO for Bandai games across the board. Before a set releases, your finding yourself pre ordering the next 3 sets. This is why I hate Bandai games and stopped playing them.

Fan base will always follow one piece seeing that it didn’t start from cards one piece has a huge monumental dedicated fan base since the 90s due to the manga and anime which is what one piece is first and the anime and manga is still going, Card game 2nd.

@@frankcastle9104 That's all well and good but when the manga ends there needs to be something to carry forward. A good TCG that people actually enjoy playing is a huge asset. A good game will draw people into the IP due to social gravity of a healthy community.

@@frankcastle9104 well Google showed me that this recent card game came in 2022. But like you said, the property has an already built in fanbase. So ideally investors don't need to rely on a healthy player base when there's a long standing fanbase in which a portion would collect cards. Now my follow up question would be why would Bandai care about appeasing investors so that they can make money on the secondary market when they have a game they're trying to solidify? In the end I agree with Rudy that Bandai should take it easy and not shoot its load off because Rome wasn't built in a day and Magic The Gathering didn't get its peak client base over a year. But listening to Rudy it sounds like he has shaky confidence in Bandai for their history in the industry.

@@geek593 and from what I've learnt recently, if there's anybody that loves a community, it's Rudy.

You’re absolutely correct

lol tell me you dont know what makes a card game collectible without telling me

cause all the players are clueless timmies

Bandai is known to be reprint happy. I have about 2 or 3 Digimon boxes and I'm sure those have no chance of appreciating in value, but I like my digi dorks

Funny how some see it primarily as a game and others want to buy it up and store in sealed..@@HeWhoisHim.

nobodys upset about it untill they reprint everything to the ground, time will tell.

Scalpers aren’t very bright

wont know til it happen pretty much

I’m probably gonna sell my one box of romance dawn then

@@teagenramirez265 that's the risk u take

You’ll know when they’re already sold to distributors

Yeah, think why, maybe that supposed expertise is not so expert. This is the same guy who thought pokemon was trash, and pumped the sh*t out of Metazoo. Not a stellar track record.

EVO SKIES IS BEST SET IN TCG HISTORY

@@SWSH826 I disagree its all hype moonbreon has no scarcity, and will be irrelevant in a few years when it's pop a million at a 70% PSA 10 rate.

Most of the really expensive stuff is from the first 2 sets and initial starters.

@@andreelmatacoronavirusquin1322 yes that’s true but not my point. Blue bottoms will not be reprinted as they contain cards with translation errors/confusion.

No they should reprint the hell out of older sets so everyone can get it at a decent price and the scalpers will lose all their money

@@jameswa4013 again you guys are misinterpreting what I’m saying. I’m not saying they shouldn’t reprint older sets I’m saying it’s impossible for them to reprint OP01 blue bottom boxes due to the translation issues, if any OP01 comes out it’ll be the updated text or if any boxes they’d all be white bottoms. Ofc they should reprint boxes of all sets for everyone, however if they’re having hard enough time printing a CURRENT set 05 and the next set 06, they should focus on those before working on old product. If they kept printing 05 it wouldn’t be as expensive as it is.

those people are what keeps a tcg relevant, when the only ones in it are investors who don't care about the game we get metazoo

He's applying the reserved list principles to a market that absolutely despises the reserved list and everything it stands for.

He's like a virus talking shit about the antibodies.

Well see the thing is those feelings are irrelevant and never change the reality of what a TCG is and what it needs to be to survive and thrive. Small children don't understand but they will with enough time and experience.

​​@@BT-su1yflmao I love your comparison

@@jared3622 maybe op2 cards are expensive but in total saka top deck must be under 250 for sure!

​@@jared3622 like $500

Sakazuki is around ~400, mostly due to the key cards being locked behind a starter deck that got scalped. Enel is a little less. it's mostly gated behind Katakuri, you need 3-4 and theyre around 80 dollars now.​@jared3622

@@jared3622150 or lower was the amount of money you would pay back in the first couple of sets for the top deck in the meta. Everything was dirt cheap

​​​​​@@jared3622300-500$ is pretty normal, you guys are so weak. 😂 Also what matters is not the price. A 200$ deck that rotates quickly and loses all its value is worse than a 1000$ edh / modern deck that keeps being relevant for decades (and holds value). This is something all players realize at some point. Standard is more expensive than "expensive formats" because you need to constantly build temporary decks that rotate and become irrelevant / worth nothing. This is the primary reason why players eventually move from standard to modern, pioneer or edh. Because players value their cards retaining value. That's just true. So the thing you don't want to recognize is that the players who spent 500$ on a tier 1 deck that is now worth 50$ feel scammed and insulted and many of them might quit the game because of it. Lots players quit yu gi oh for MTG because magic had a more stable economy. They were tired of getting scammed: they had to buy the new hot rare that was 40-60$ but then a few months later it got reprinted and crashed to 25 cents. If you get scammed like that enough times you'll also stop playing or spending money. See right now you guys are at this baby stage where you have no real experience with TCGs. But at some point you'll buy a playset of 50-60$ cards and it's gonna suck big time when it gets banned or reprinted at common. Then you'll understand why many players are also against reprinting too much and too quickly like Bandai does. You'll understand the importance of cards retaining and gaining value and how it affects the affordability of the game. If your 30$ card stays 30$, it means you're always able to trade it for a couple of 15$ cards or a different 30$ card. But if your 30$ card is now 50 cents, you lost that ability and are now 30$ poorer as a player. It's a really simple concept but too many people don't get it. If your player collection keeps losing value the game will become less affordable, you'll be forced to spend real money more often while you had the ability to just trade the cards you bought before. So you actually want player collections to have value because otherwise you kill trading, drafting and make the game too expensive to keep up with.

You’re thinking of Metazoo which Rudy pushed and is now going to zero

@@andreelmatacoronavirusquin1322 you’re right, it’s a taco bell floppy meal toy

You forgot Magic, Lorcana, Dragonball Super, Battle Spirits Saga, Cardfight Vanguard, Final Fantasy, Force of Will, World of Warcraft, Star Wars, Dragonborne, My little Pony and the Spoils to name a few bigger ones

also the bionicle tcg, don't forget that@@chaozboy9482

Too bad the spoils didn't make it

Exactly only scalpers are mad about this. OP deserves to be more accessible to US players

You need players to play your game or then you have a metazoo situation. A lot of players are getting priced out of the best decks in the meta and it’s hurting the game right now.

Timmy approach. Decks cost not a lot of money, literally just alternate arts carry value. Collectors are a big part of one piece.

Did you watch the video? 5:44 12:53

@@ryanoliveira9783 I am not saying they shouldn't reprin, they should. But the 'players drive the market' sentiment is just rly ignorant and egocentric.

@@Poolemik you obviously haven't been following what's happening with One Piece. Try to keep up.

@@BT-su1yf I am actually a vendor and have a bit more knowledge than you little timmy. stay broke

Bro the market is at a all time high lmao

Bro my 401k and stocks are so high like now, what are you smoking

@@sandwhale4292 exactly these people have no common sense and no idea what’s actually going on in the world

Like, I just want to play the game, but how can I and my friends get in and support it (creating demand) if the price is so steep?
