Everyone contact all your nearest LGS stores and tell them he's playing a game called "if you can find me and punch me in the face you can have some of these ETBs, first come first served." That's all the context they need, don't elaborate if they keep asking questions lmao.
I feel ya, bro. I'm numb to it all, too. It's becoming a "Who's got the fattest wallet???" situation and that ain't me. I'll keep looking in stores but I ain't going outta my way already. Let the idiots dump their cash on it. They obviously have more to spare than me.
Multiple big content creators are a problem as well, hoarding pallets to make content, driving the hype, and making Rip&Ships and Mystery Product with these same packs tho… and act like they’re not part of the problem. A smallish part? Maybe but not insignificant
I keep asking this question and nobody can answer, how is it that new, less than a year, streamers can get their hands on tons of product from distributors, but stores that have been around four years can barely get any product. They also get early access.
Someone called me broke for not wanting to buy a unreleased scalped product 3x MSRP. And to that I am broke as HELL because I am NOT buying something that expensive. Scalpers and shit can enjoy Prismatic, I'll be fine without it 😂
They contacted multiple distros and backdoored them for a premium price, while leaving a small small amount left to sell to the public to prevent their local customers from knowing that they back door. Some would blackmail the distros into continuing the backdoor or else they would leak out that xx store backdoors ect.
Skipped surging sparks, skipping prismatic evolutions, already decided I'm skipping journey together. I'll just concentrate on older sets and put my money there until all this calms down
You know what’s funny, with how bad the pull rates are, I’ll just cancel my Msrp pre-orders or just give them to a friend for a gift. The pull rates have killed my hype for the set and I’m now gonna choose to order some Terastal festival instead.
I’m going to try to get my hands on prismatic but only at msrp or from local game stores. If I can’t, I’m not going to trip over it but prismatic is definitely going to be my last set I’ll try to collect before switching to singles or breaking
So if my count was right. That was 485 ETB's about $59ish each about $30k. Each box has 9 packs, 4,365 packs, $24 each pack $104,760. $74,760 profit.wild.
My LGS just announced they will literally have NO ETBS for release day. Literally. None. Their allocations for product are so low they can't even get any, yet people like this can get all this? Something is broken here. My LGS has been around for years. It's depressing. And at the end of the day this ALL comes down to the Pokemon COMPANY themselves. THEY are the reason all this is happening and they NEED to fix it. I thought they bought up a bunch of printing companies to make sure this kind of thing didn't happen again, yet here we are. This is their fault. Also I am so burnt out I will also be taking a break. It's just too toxic. It's a HOBBY. Collecting these cards is a HOBBY and when trying to actually have fun is a CHORE it's time to step back.
@@monkey39128 idk if it will get better quite yet. Gen 10 is starting off strong with a kalos remake and mega evolutions will most likely come back which is prime oppurtunity for card art.
All yall have to do is not buy them at all if you understand supply and demand. The prices will drop significantly and the people who are buying up everything will either be stuck with the product or have to sell them for a lower price than what they bought it. Be a smart shopper
People are so impatient though. Unless you are playing competitively, there is 0 reason in most card games to need to buy way over MSRP on day 1. Especially with Pokemon product, where they print multiple waves, they were still printing 151 product more than a year after it's drop.
Honestly, this kills my drive to collect pokemon when stuff like this keeps constantly happening. And hearing how all of my LGS's got their orders cur to like 2 booster boxes and an etb.
Always good to take a breather on collecting sometimes. I think Japanese is the way to go for the time being. One piece is also the one I'm collecting in the crazy times
Fr my main LGS has 40 ETBs coming in and has to pull peoples names out of a hat in order to sell them to people at a fair chance because it won't even cover a fraction of his customers.
Don't let the hype destroy your enjoyment. I'm missing prismatic evolutions and journey together but I've not long just started a crown zenith master set and I'm close to completing 151 and paradox rift so while I'm missing out on new sets I'll continue to enjoy what I can get hold quite easily for my other sets be it singles for 151 or packs of crown zenith and paradox rift. Choose a set that's already out and product can be found and go for it
Solid take. No hobby is worth paying these grotesque prices. I have chosen to pay retail or under. Since then I’ve bought way less cards but have been much happier. Probably gonna skip those one unless I come across it on the shelf
$24.00 a pack for a new set if nutty. However, I can understand if someone wants to support a box breaker they like and doesn't mind paying a premium. Great video Roc!
The recent Pokemon releases have gone absolutely fkin nutz.. I’ve only been collecting for around 9 months and leading up to the prismatic release i swore I was skipping it to hit the next team rocket set… now my heart is racing the rocket set is going to be off the fkin chart
@@RocSandy I live in the uk so luckily I won’t have to witness the Walmart/ Costco/ and the other store stampedes mass grabbing products… I will have to pick up scraps to open on my little channel
@@Pokémimepete We usually have it pretty good in the UK. Even with Prismatic there was time to get most of the products. The only thing that'll be impossible to get is the Pokémon Centre ETB's. The UK market is amazing because we usually lag slightly behind the US so we get a glimpse into the future. Makes it so much easier to get stuff before it goes silly.
@ unfortunately I don’t have any shops near me that stock Pokemon the local toy store has literally just shut its doors after 25 years of trading if you have any tips on where to find products I’d be very grateful.. we sometimes get bits in the Asda store I work in but not very often
Yeah, I'm backing off for now. I've been collecting ultraman tcg and yugioh. Once everything cools down, I'll be back. All of this is madness. I refuse to give in to scalpers, not worth my time or money.
This makes me feel better about the amount I ordered. 😂 I don't really blame him. If I could've sourced that many boxes I'd probably have done the same. $24 a pack is egregious though, what moron is buying that?! It'll definitely come to an end. I don't think every set is going to suddenly collapse but there will be a set at some point that catches everyone out. It'll be like what happened with Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage and Shining Fates during COVID. At some point we'll be way oversupplied while people are still hoarding. Might take a while but it always comes in the end. I'm guessing it'll be at the start of the next era so maybe in a year or so.
I'm all for getting some Pokemon cards but I feel like I just want to sit out on these new few sets. Prices are ridiculous and frankly... any desire for these cards is dwindling. Investor Bros and Hoarders are just ruining the appeal for me these days. I didn't even ask for any Pokemon Cards for Christmas, I asked for Digimon instead.
We have no morals left. We can’t even have Pokemon cards without people abusing/destroying them for a possibility of profit. I used to collect the cards, but gave up because of stuff like this, scalpers buying everything out, inflating prices, etc. It’s just not fun anymore when you have to pay hundreds of percentages in markups if you can even find the cards in the first place. Heck, there are stores around me that are flat out refusing to stock the product out of concern for the safety of their storefront and employees. That’s really sad. The people permanently leaving have a good point. You’re talking a year of this stuff, that’s an entire year of struggling to get products to enjoy a hobby at a fair price. That’s ridiculous and somewhat depressing. And the fact is, this has been happening on and off for the last 4-5 years. People are sick and tired of it. It leaves a bad taste in peoples’ mouths.
There is a Thanos and not the one from 🐙 games. 😂 That will snap his fingers and all will be set right according to the path chosen. Great take and good advice.
nop. If everything earn 200% beneficit in one year... minimum... all people who have money will stop buy stocks and invest mass in pokemon. Honestly, if I earned 15k a month I would do the same. Spend 5/6k every month on pokemon .... but im looking for a single booster 8.5 XD
Truly if the entire community of people who actually collect just ignore these ridiculous prices and wait to get the additional product already scheduled to be released throughout the year, scalpers will have to get rid of their product as fast as possible because it will quickly turn into a loss for them. Then they will most likely leave for a good while again. Pokene just made a video with a good breakdown of what’s likely to happen.
I just got into the hobbies and find this whole situation ridiculous but me being new I am just completely tapped out from collecting cards of the new set. I'm just collecting old sets, especially those that were underrated from what I gathered. Later in the year I might jump into this set once prices and hype calms down. Otherwise I wouldn't mind skipping.
He probably works at a Walmart or some other big box store and is probably some lvl of management to were he was allowed to buy them all. Or he owns a distro center
There are two possibilities for having a crash. 1) pokemon company decides to increase production by 5. 70% goes to the secondary market and everything is multiplied by 4 on prices. All of this stock is unsaleable at this price. If EV.8 sells for X4. 8.5 sells for X4. EV9 sells for X4. Rocket sells for X4. EV10 same etc etc Who will be able to buy $30 booster packs all year long? it's ridiculous. In June, we will all be ruined. and for 6 months, July to December, you will have huge stocks of all unsaleable series. you will not be able to buy in october an ETB EV.8, EV.9 EV9.5. EV.8.5. how much would it cost? 1000 dollars for 4 etb releases in the year? we will have to wait 1 year for the pride of these crazy people to come down and accept that 80% of people do not have the money to buy at this price. 2) global economic crash. We lose our jobs. Keep your boosters. I'm going to go eat real food
FACTS! I walked out the TGC cause of the MEGA EEVEE pack! I could not get a single card during 2020-2021 and called it quits during the pandemic (also my job was on the line and I could not fund my hobby cause of these people and say, “you know what, I’m done”) now I’m back and miss all of Sword and Shield but I’m NOT passing up Scarlet and Violet cause these people want it cause it’s an Eevee on it! I bet if it was just a deck Fidough, no scalper with bat an eye on it. We got example with the previous cards and they all went after stuff with Charzard, Pikachu, Eevee, and all that’s the “cooool” gen one. They should have done a dragon set with Baxcalibur. They look at it and say “What the heck is that?! That’s not a Pokémon!”
If Pokémon Company cared even a bit about customers they would have shut down all the distributors that are scalping. It would be extremely easy for them to find who does it and black list them. They can also easily enforce the rule with distributors to buy limited number of product per person, if distributors don't abide - blacklist. All distributors would fear being blacklisted because the money is just too good to risk defying the Pokemon Company. Only reason why there is so much demand is because very limited number of scalpers is holding all the packs and keeping the price high. If every collector got their hands on 2 ETBs at normal retail I can almost guarantee there would still be leftover boxes to go around. But the majority of stock is locked behind scalpers. There really is no point in continuing collecting until Pokemon sorts this mess out. That said, english set is trash. Worst pulls since Evolving Skies. It's not even worth paying retail for it.
People who say they are leaving because of this aren’t going anywhere, and if they are then they were not going to be here for long anyway. There are so many great things to collect right now and there is always a deal to find!
You couldn’t get shining fates anywhere and everything on PC was sold out when that came out now this a lot you can still buy on PC I mean you can still get brilliant stars on there i don’t think this is any worse then that time it’s just happening right now
THANK YOU, I’ve been saying THIS. LOOK AROUND. I’ve been seeing 151 and surging sparks at Walmarts. They are LAZY. LOOK AT THE STORES. 🙄UA-camrs just want to be lazy and not look around. (Not all of them, I can name two at least)
I feel you that it's very repetitive but you do probably talk some sense into some people. Also, this video really shows we're not all on the same playing field.
Thats ridiculously way too much of this product. I hope after i sell my little bit i got because one of my pre order cancelled...that the stuff tanks so the avg collector and kids can afford it. But when what not guys getting $27 a pack its not affordable to the avg collector.
God these idiots are not only paying scalpers, they're paying for SOMEONE ELSE TO OPEN THEIR PACKS AND SHIP THEM How bored are you to do this type of shit!? I hope their cards always get graded as a 9! Trust someone else to open your cards god damn and people say watching someone play video games is weird.
It’s just pure greed, all about how much they can get per pack, if you can get a hookup like that and not even look out for the community then they don’t belong here, he also said he came from whatnot so that makes sense 💀

If Pokémon Company cared even a bit about customers they would have shut down all the distributors that are scalping. It would be extremely easy for them to find who does it and black list them. They can also easily enforce the rule with distributors to buy limited number of product per person, if distributors don't abide - blacklist.

Man, I JUST got back into the hobby. Had to leave because of lack of funds (lost my job), now we're getting this kind of stuff lol
All of the stores online and in stores Australian here are all sold out .
I couldn't even get one pack for myself
I really love the Pokémon games and I would buy some Pokémon cards if I could, but the Pokémon games bring so much pure happiness and joy to me
Couldn’t have said it better, ReTaRTed bois and gulls
People who say they are leaving because of this aren’t going anywhere, and if they are then they were not going to be here for long anyway. There are so many great things to collect right now and there is always a deal to find!
Hit the nail on the head 😎🙏
He works for pokemon center. Obviously.
So I guess it’s nothing like terastal festival
You couldn’t get shining fates anywhere and everything on PC was sold out when that came out now this a lot you can still buy on PC I mean you can still get brilliant stars on there i don’t think this is any worse then that time it’s just happening right now
I mean UA-camrs don’t help by making their stupid mystery packs.
Close your wallets and see how quick he sells them for msrp
I also blame UA-camrs like Pokerev for buying so many cards in one go shame on him
THANK YOU, I’ve been saying THIS. LOOK AROUND. I’ve been seeing 151 and surging sparks at Walmarts. They are LAZY. LOOK AT THE STORES. 🙄UA-camrs just want to be lazy and not look around. (Not all of them, I can name two at least)
Wow, mever thought I'd be trolled by someone by just buying pokemon cards. Worst part is I'm actually offended 😂
Haha that's awesome! Good for him!
Probably 0 umbeons in there anyway
Deym, how did they got tons of ETBs?!
I feel you that it's very repetitive but you do probably talk some sense into some people. Also, this video really shows we're not all on the same playing field.
Me and my partner just got back on this ship and are already ready to hop back off, this was supposed to be a fun hobby 😔
Probably the same way the whatnoters did... if I had to guess.
isn't he breaking street date?
the internet and pre-orders are killing pokemon.
i hear pull rates are not good
I'm here to collect and not to give an extra mortgage payment to cardboard 😢
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK-faze potatoes
Thats ridiculously way too much of this product. I hope after i sell my little bit i got because one of my pre order cancelled...that the stuff tanks so the avg collector and kids can afford it. But when what not guys getting $27 a pack its not affordable to the avg collector.
God these idiots are not only paying scalpers, they're paying for SOMEONE ELSE TO OPEN THEIR PACKS AND SHIP THEM
How bored are you to do this type of shit!? I hope their cards always get graded as a 9! Trust someone else to open your cards god damn and people say watching someone play video games is weird.
Alright yup, I'm done with pokemon, selling my collection.
It’s just pure greed, all about how much they can get per pack, if you can get a hookup like that and not even look out for the community then they don’t belong here, he also said he came from whatnot so that makes sense 💀
Correction, that's not ETB it's CGI 😂
LOL
does the bell in his name stand for bellend?
