I don't know where you got the info that all of those reprints are coming but recently Bandai cut in half wave 3 and 4 of OP05 on most allocations because they want to focus on new Dragon Ball sets and OP06. There's zero info about reprints of the older sets and in my opinion there's really no chance they're coming. We can't assume that Bandai release policy is the same as Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh!. They want to release as many new sets as possible and not print the same sets over and over again like Pokemon. In my opinion the the best indicator of this is that they release the same card in different design (i.e. Nami from OP01 alt is the same as Nami SP in OP05, same with Yamato). They will reprint the same cards in newer sets but it'll take time. There'll be reprints but not the boxes of old sets. Just single cards in new sets.
My info has come from my LGS, other large buyers and also Bandai's track record of coinciding new sets with another wave of previous sets, which I spoke about. Where did you get you get the info on wave 3 and 4 being cut in half due to DBS? OP01, OP02, OP03 I don't think will get a reprint (OP03 had a massive one recently which got sucked dry) and I hope they don't but OP04 most probably will and OP05 is a given. I also spoke about learning from failing games like WOTC and MTG in my last video, they're all connected in that sense. Thanks for the comment!
@@ContemporaryCollectables Few sources have spoken about the cutting in half wave 4 and 5, mainly Large LGSes and few big Bandai youtubers with strong ties to distributors. Sure nothing confirmed but it looks to be lining up coming from few different sources. Even if more waves are on a horizon, most of the stores will put current market prices and people will clear the stock in minutes. We had similar situation like this with OP01 and people were expecting Bandai to print OP01 to the ground. They didn't. Remember the market is not only locked on US.

Been watching a few of your vids and were wondering where you were from up North? Are you a Beatle fan by any chance because a pretty strong John style you got going on bro.

Every time i go to buy a card i want to grt it goes up $50-$100 its getting extremely irritating with all these buy outs. Nami was $120 one day then its almost $300. Thebop01 2 cost luffy was $20 then over night it was $100
Hi, i missed the OP05 is there a chance on getting a display for the normal price when wave 3 comes and also are there any differences between displays in waves ? ty :)
My understanding is this was all part of the same print run that was distributed over three waves. LGSs didn't put in additional orders but are receiving their back stock allocations they originally ordered. This is not a reprint. That being said, the third wave is reported as being the smallest out of all three and even more disheartening, the wave is so small many LGSs aren't selling them but using them for prizing at thier events. I imagine we will get another print in a few months but who knows.
Thanks for the question wips, wanakinp gave a really good answer below. I will say, in the coming months Bandai will want to reduce the price and allow those who missed out to get in just like they did with OP01, OP02 and OP03 - there was 9 months for the last wave of OP01 to come out so OP05 is on the way just be patient :)
thanks to both of u :) I have an other question. I there any difference on the cards them self in reprints ? like a letter or a nummer or even in the value of the cards ? @@ContemporaryCollectables
Purchased 2 cases of OP-05 and 5 displays of double packs. Opened both cases and didn't pull a manga card or signed Oda. The first display of double packs I pulled the Manga Luffy and Alt art Rebecca. So basically purchased Manga Luffy for $2600 when I take in all the costs of what I put in.
@@ContemporaryCollectableswell that's like saying, only some boxes have all the hits on the left side of the box... Like, if everything is randomly assorted, then of course some of them are gonna line up with the "reports." It's the same way a broken clock is right twice a day...
brother this video changed my life, I'm crying uncontrollably while fully clothed and hugging my knees in the shower right now as i type this comment on my phone
To assume the prices go down with wave 3 is kinda cute there's way too many scam lgs, scalpers and investors from other card games cause of the many chase cards
Maybe needs updating but the prices for euros/dollars being on screen and referenced in the video never made it, none the less, thanks for the content and keep it up!
THERES ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THEY MAKE CHANGES TO THE CARDS IN THE NEXT WAVE LIKE THE DID WITH OP O1, ON THE PRE ERRATA LEADER CARDS THEY SAY : SET 1 OF YOUR CARDS AND ERRATA THEY SAY : SET UP TO 1 OF YOUR CARDS. SO I THINK THATS ANOTHER REASON FOR THE PRICE JUMP FOR WAVE 1. YOU SAID THEY WERE MARKED CASES? BUT YOU DIDNT SHOW WHAT THE MARKING IS TO INDICATE WHICH CASES ARE MARKED BTW.
I hate that this game has gotten so expensive. I really killed the joy in the game for me. Im pretty sure Im going to drop out of the game if things dont calm down
I bought a few cases to gamble on manga luffy but pulled the manga law instead. I still have some cases left and backorders from LGS, but seeing the market prices makes me don't want to continue to open my case anymore.
@@jetsjourney8921 I’ve bought it from different LGS here in the UK. Believe it or not, OP-05 was sitting on the LGS UK sites one week after the release.
dude i just want some english packs. it really bums me out that i just cant find any. i will be so shocked if they dont put out a ton of waves or a full reprint. its just so high selling its free money for bandai.
I don't think bandai could flood the market even if they wanted to. too many games to print and a significant reprint release is at least, what, 12 months away? at the earliest.. the isn't stopping anytime soon unless fusion world is a hit and op players jump ship to it.
@@johnnybongo9208 it was kind of bunched in with wave 1 when OP-05 released, at least thats how it felt the way stock moved....there was no break in supply and resupply, it all sold out in 2-3 days at 20+ locations around me with the last box selling for $300
@@mossshead but then others talk to other LGS and they say nothing coming. I’ll believe it’s coming when I see it. The way it’s looking is that nothing coming. Some say 2nd wave has already come. Some say it hasn’t.
People have already been receiving emails (myself included) about orders possibly not getting fulfilled and some cases telling customers to request refunds.
That's because you must have ordered from a scummy, unscrupulous LGS that is seeing the current state of the market and want to justify charging scalper prices. I wouldn't give them my business. I've seen a few LGS's like this but I finally found a good one that always gets what they say they're gonna get and they hold their product for their regulars and cap what people can buy so everybody gets their share. And not even 25 miles from them, there's an LGS that's selling boxes for TCGplayer prices and spouting that same type of BS in order to justify their prices. But we've even caught them selling their tournament promo packs last summer, and that was the final straw that made me and my friends look for a new shop. It was 30 minutes drive away, but the people that run it are SO much better people that actually give a shit about their community. Even though it may be rare unfortunately, that's the kind of LGS you need to find and give your support to...
Markets don't move in straight lines. Yes, it'll keep trending upwards over time, but there will definitely be hills and valleys and you never want to buy in at the top of a hill... Everybody was saying the same thing last January about prices never coming down, and look what happened in the summer. Personally, I'm super happy I waited. Always buy during a lull. It might never reach the old lows, but it will go cheaper at some point before trending up again.

Very insightful video bud. Wave 3 is on the way. Supply will meet demand eventually and Bandai is not allergic to money. 🎉
This is coping at this point. Even if they have another supply like wave 1 it will get eaten up.
It’s also possible that demand is so high that the upcoming waves won’t make much of a drop in price.
Yea they don’t understand that , they beg for a crash because they missed the boat its not going under 200$ if that
Moment gear 5 was announced months before release, I knew it was going to be huge. Took advantage and bought a case at the time. Best decision ever 😂
This is also a real possibility fs
Also getting scalped to death
Bandai needs to overprint a set to keep scalpers at bay
I've actually got a order for 2 Romance Dawn boxes and 2 OP05 boxes ordered for February from a reputable LGS. I can also see a couple pre orders for RD hanging about on ebay. Asked a couple LGS around me here in the UK and they advised to keep a look out when OP06 is released, as they usually restock older sets when new sets are released
I feel like this is true because I found romance dawn and Paramount war packs right at the release of op5
