😊😊. I want that Ursula necklace!! Lol. Haven’t pulled that yet. But I’ve been playing all weekend. Started with the Amber / amethyst and then moved to the Saphire/ steel. I’m working on an emerald/ amethyst deck for this week. Such a fun game. I got my starter decks and a booster pack box lol. I hope in Sept they have a few different gift packs. I love the bigger foils. And the Lorcana portfolios have a couple pages for big cards. But maybe that’s just for each chapter release.
Haha, I need to test that card out!! Nice!!!! So many awesome decks to test!!! That's awesome! Yes, the portfolio has that! I didn't want to keep it in there bc I wanted it in a hard top-loader 😄
I personally wouldn't mind if I had been bought this as a present for a birthday or Christmas gift. Seems like a good value collector wise and gives you the pack opening itch us TCG players can be suckers for. Nice that you got a Belle pull, and I have been facing a conundrum of what deck I should build, mostly due to the prices since the game is still new and the demand is high as people are having a hard time getting products where they may be. I certainly will start with some budget decks, but I will wait until we see the prices go down on certain cards and I can make my decision by then.
I actually really enjoy the gift set! If they continue this in future chapters (which I'm sure they will) I'll definitely get them! Thanks!! Belle is a great card!! And yes, I would definitely wait for prices to drop!
I can't wait to start getting my packs in. I'd love to build a deck with Belle. I'm excited to get started but the cost is so high I don't know when I will be able.
@@lorcanaillumineers I'm going to be patient. I hate that I have to though for sure. I have a question unrelated to the video though if you don't mind answering? Do you have or know of a Discord for the Lorcana community that isn't just the Gen Con Discord?
@@lorcanaillumineers Thank you so much!!!!! I've been curious if there was one out there! I'm Central in Arkansas but I joined yours anyway. I'm just looking to be part of the community. You never know who you may be friends with lol. If you do happen to hear of a Central channel though as well pass it along!
Sorry, have to poke a bit of good fun at "M'gara" lol It's genuinely interesting hearing how character names are pronounced differently from the "official" way from the movies, especially when someone hasn't seen the relevant movie.
It's funny you mention that you can't use the jumbo cards in a deck for play because someone did that at Pokémon NAIC a few years ago because Pokémon never technically put it in the rules lol
If they alternate inks for each of the oversized cards, you could make a full 60 card Amber/Ruby oversized deck by the November release in 2028! To make every color combination, you will have to wait until May of 2029 😂
I'd hang on to the oversized cards, just in case there's a game variant one day, like Commander for Magic. And they're pretty neat! Packs 3 and 4 may not have been too exciting, but Belle and Stitch easily make up for it! At MSRP, they're worth more than a Gift Set would cost.
@@lorcanaillumineers yea - one LGS it was $75 for the GS, $100 for the Trove, I think like $215 for a booster box but only if you reserved ahead and $10 a pack. The other LGS was $8 a pack if you didn't come to the league event, they sold a couple boxes of starters initially and then if you came to the event you could buy a starter and 6 packs at MSRP which was nice. That store they are holding back the GS & Trove as tournament prizes.
My LGS is selling the gift set at 99.99. The trove is 149.99 and the starters are 39.99. I pre-ordered my booster box at 199.99 and it didn't come in. I'm not sure what they are charging for them now but I'm sure it went up.
@@lorcanaillumineers it is sad that they allow the local stores to order and limit people on how much of something they can buy but they allow the store to mark the price up so much that most people can't afford it. I think it is really going to hurt people's interest in the game if they aren't careful.
I actually really liked the oversized foils. I like that they aren't as big as the Pokemon ones and the cold foils look so good
I love them too!!! I can't wait to get more 🤩

The large foils are cool! 😎
I agree 💯
Nice opening but miss the sides that show how many cards of each rarity you pulled.
Thanks!
I'll definitely keep doing that for bigger pack openings 😄
awesome!
🙌
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU PULLED A FOIL OF THE BEST CARD IN THE SET!?! #TeamFlounder 😎
🤣🤣 Flounder for life 😁

Prices will drop!! The market is crazy right now...be patient if you can!

Oh, I've seen the movie many times. 😁 that however, doesn't mean I remember how to pronounce her name 😄

Omg really?! 😂😂😂 That's hilarious 🤣
Great video.

Agreed! Was very happy with the Belle pull!!
There could have been 5th pack instead of those oversized tho, I dont even know,how to store them.
Yeah, would have been nice to have more packs. The Lorcana binders have slots for oversized cards. But I got oversized top loaders for mine.
@@lorcanaillumineers hi what size top loaders for the oversized cards? Thank you for the video!
! 🎉
🎉
wish my LGS had them cheaper than $75
Are you kidding 😭 !? Definitely not worth $75
(I hate saying this, but...I would buy at big box if that's the price...)
