Im super excited for this set but I know hype is gonna be a real pain in terms of prices in the first few weeks so Ill wait for a few months when they start having sales for it
Crazy how much stock I see around the S&V sets these days! I’m guessing 151 will be similar in print qty but the hype around the set will probably make it move and in turn make it seem like it’s not printed as much at first. Appreciate your take on things in the market! Keep up the good work bro!
Interesting learning about allocation. But in my case I don't have many options . I wish that my country sold Pokemon product at walmart or some other stores, or even have the option to buy from the Pokemon Center Shop.
And I'll be there buying up the English singles 3 months after release, when they're at rock bottom prices from extreme market over-saturation. I love "hype".
that's what i noticed about those big stores , they have more to sell but the prices are like 10 dollars more than in a LGS , so our always going to look for the cheapest one
first set since i have gotten back into the hobby that i plan on filling a master set. i've decided ill get a upc, a pokemon center etb, and then a hanful of booster bundles and see where i stand on the full set
i think it’s very helpful to hear not to panick over literally anything else like whether you’re a buyer/seller professional or casual collector there’s tooooo much urgency attached to this one set which is exactly what PC do not care for
Thank you for taking the time to explaining this, Dan. Misinformation spread really fast on social media, always good to have people able to clarify and take the time to explain what things like "low allocation" means.
Great video. I just got back into Pokémon and I love 151. I got a couple of japanese cards but can’t justify the price people are trying to sell the booster box for. Can’t wait for the English version.
Thanks for the info Danny. Hopefully LGS's will start getting some more allocations in the future. I understand the Pokemon Company wanting product to be more accessible in big box stores, but I am a little worried about how many game stores will be able to survive.
Commenting and liked! I kind of went a little hard on Obsidian flame and 151. For Obsidian flame, I ordered a 1 case and 1 box of pokemon center etbs and 1 case of booster boxes. For 151 I ordered 1 case of normal etbs and 1 case and 1 box of pokemon center etbs. Those I most likely won't open and will add to my sealed. Ill go out release days for them sets and acquires things to open. I normally hit up a local card shop. Wally, target etc and buy a couple booster boxes, etbs or booster bundles to open. I hit up game stops for the promos also
Curious to see how the 151 sets will do over time. It might be mass printed, but how will the pull rates be for the big hits? Evolving skies pull rates were low. Plenty of re prints with that set.
My local game store always has better prices than the big box stores. Which sucks when they have exclusives and then we have to overpay like the current new Zenith box.
Love the content, very insightful. Initial allocations always seem low due to supply and demand and FOMO. Definitely not worried about getting a hold of 151. I can wait...
I'm so beyond hyped for 151 this set is gonna be so much fun to open!!!! Thanks for continuing to make videos like this to calm people down and mitigate fomo
Pokémon 151 came at the time when I start to get into collection. Wasn't able to buy and collect Pokémon card when I was young due to family financial issue. Now that I earn my own money, it's time to get back into it!
Seems like I came back back to collecting Pokemon cards at the right time. I purchased a crown zenith box last week, my first Pokemon card purchase in 10 years, some of those cards were gorgeous.
I certainly hope the print quality for 151 improves as I've been fairly disappointed with the quality of the last 2 sets. The pull rates have increased but if your chase card has print lines or badly centered does it matter...
Also, thank you for breaking all of this info down. I’ve been hearing everyone say that this set is going to be extremely limited, so it’s reassuring to know that I will be able to attempt a master set.
As someone that missed out on opening sets like Generations and Celebrations I just love getting the opportunity to open OG Pokémon where it’s not JUST Charizard being in the set. Already ordered one UPC but hoping to get a second to open with my Nephew
Going back and forth on how much I should splurge in this 151 set... idk go all in and expect the other sets for the rest of this year to not be as good???
I have never been so excited for a Pokemon card release than I have for the 151 set. Already I cant seem to get hold of anything on pre order though so hoping there will be reprints and restock as I want a snorlax box and the special mew one also but both pre orders sold out :(
I’m excited for the set but I don’t think cards are gonna be that crazy considering that there are not many SAR in the set. If they keep the pull rates of the other S&V, I bet there won’t be a card over $80.
151 is the only SV set I am buying, or more correctly, trying to buy. I know there will be lots of deals later on but I want some product from initial release because I believe the pull rates are better early on.
I really want to start collecting the S&V 151 once it comes up. The question is, will there be better deals come December in time for Christmas, or will the product be so hot that preordering might be the way to go. Boy is it getting complicated with these sets on whether or when they will decrease in price.
And then the cardboard said "The land will shake before me and bellow in furious anger!" And then the sea did swell...and the cardboard did swol and Cardzilla, was born.
Big box stores large allocations. Igs small allocations. Big box stores still have product. Igs stores sell out right away making it seem they are short printed but arent. Look around. You will find these available.
It’s very nice to see these boxes being available for a while. Let’s me get a box or two to have fun before starting the wait for prices to go down a bit on singles.
Thank you so much. You have made me feel so much more at ease about this set. I have preorder a bit as I was scared of missing out. But with this new knowledge I feel I will get as much as my son and I need to complete the set.
I am STOKED for the ultra premium collection. They have been really putting together something special for each one since celebrations. And I am all for it.
Scarlet 151 feels like celebrations for the hype, but I expect it to be similar to crown zenith in price of singles because of how much they are printing. Start high and then tanks.
Basically, ppl just need to be patient. Hopefully this will make LCSs appreciate their customers and not scalp product. I know mine prices stuff stupid high.
151 seems like the best non holiday set we've had since evo skies; i just hope the prices on singles wont go through the roof since im only planning to rip a couple boxes at most for the thrill
pre ordered from pokemon center the mew box to get the promo they had going at the time seems like a fun set kinda reminds me of celebrations something to open abit of and have fun but not go ham on since there is going to be so much out there. Either way love some of the arts and keep up the great videos!
Been collecting since I was 10 in 1999 and I’m so excited for this set! Definitely gonna pick up a lot of these products. Only opened one JP booster box so far and I pulled my chase card (the SAR Mew)!
Pokemon 151 will bring us back to our childhood, or whatever age category you were, when the original Base Set first arrived here in the USA. It will grant those not born, or too young yet, to experience the nostalgia of what it was like decades ago.
Recently getting back to the hobby and cannot wait for 151. I'm really curious what this set will do for the hobby as a whole as it seems like a lot of people are getting back into the hobby for this set.
Im super excited for this set but I know hype is gonna be a real pain in terms of prices in the first few weeks so Ill wait for a few months when they start having sales for it
I honestly love the poster and binder collection and wish they would do more stuff like that! Its awesome to have to compliment the cards :)
Just recently got into collecting and this is definitely the set I’m most excited for. Most of the new Pokémon just don’t hit that same spot for me.
Crazy how much stock I see around the S&V sets these days! I’m guessing 151 will be similar in print qty but the hype around the set will probably make it move and in turn make it seem like it’s not printed as much at first. Appreciate your take on things in the market! Keep up the good work bro!
Interesting learning about allocation. But in my case I don't have many options . I wish that my country sold Pokemon product at walmart or some other stores, or even have the option to buy from the Pokemon Center Shop.
Every day we get closer to 151 release just makes me more and more excited! The nostalgia is hitting hard.
And I'll be there buying up the English singles 3 months after release, when they're at rock bottom prices from extreme market over-saturation. I love "hype".
Excited for this set. I hope everybody gets all that they want.
Great set 151, but I do have a problem with the amount of sets that are being released. I wished there was fewer of them
that's what i noticed about those big stores , they have more to sell but the prices are like 10 dollars more than in a LGS , so our always going to look for the cheapest one
Super Nostalgic! Gotta catch them all!!!
first set since i have gotten back into the hobby that i plan on filling a master set. i've decided ill get a upc, a pokemon center etb, and then a hanful of booster bundles and see where i stand on the full set

Thank you for taking the time to explaining this, Dan. Misinformation spread really fast on social media, always good to have people able to clarify and take the time to explain what things like "low allocation" means.
In Brazil there is a distributor that is only allowing stores to place orders for 151 to the limit of how much they ordered of obsidian flanes
Great video. I just got back into Pokémon and I love 151. I got a couple of japanese cards but can’t justify the price people are trying to sell the booster box for. Can’t wait for the English version.
agreed that the odds of any new set being short printed are extraordinarily low
Thanks for the info Danny. Hopefully LGS's will start getting some more allocations in the future. I understand the Pokemon Company wanting product to be more accessible in big box stores, but I am a little worried about how many game stores will be able to survive.

Great info. Need more content creators like you
I'm so beyond hyped for 151 this set is gonna be so much fun to open!!!! Thanks for continuing to make videos like this to calm people down and mitigate fomo
I preordered 72 packs, just missing the upc that I couldn't find for a good presale price (in europe)
Pokémon 151 came at the time when I start to get into collection. Wasn't able to buy and collect Pokémon card when I was young due to family financial issue. Now that I earn my own money, it's time to get back into it!
hopefully this is cheap up here in canada. charizard upc is still available for $120cad... less then half of what pre order prices were
Your channel has grown so much since I've started following you😮❤
So far all I have preordered from 151 is the ultra premium collection I’m still looking for the Pokémon center ETB.
Seems like I came back back to collecting Pokemon cards at the right time. I purchased a crown zenith box last week, my first Pokemon card purchase in 10 years, some of those cards were gorgeous.
I feel like these stores just say low supply or print runs, to make people fomo so that they can buy
These allocation rumors are stressful. Thank you for the voice of reason.
Good info, thinking I’m gonna hold out for Black Friday on 151 and hope to find some good deals. But it’s scary playing the waiting game
I certainly hope the print quality for 151 improves as I've been fairly disappointed with the quality of the last 2 sets. The pull rates have increased but if your chase card has print lines or badly centered does it matter...
Also, thank you for breaking all of this info down. I’ve been hearing everyone say that this set is going to be extremely limited, so it’s reassuring to know that I will be able to attempt a master set.

Good Video, gotta say I love the sleeping Jolteon plush in the background
Haven’t had any issues trying to preorder 151 product, glad you’re selling them at normal prices!
151 is the only SV set I am buying, or more correctly, trying to buy. I know there will be lots of deals later on but I want some product from initial release because I believe the pull rates are better early on.
100% this same thing was said about crown zenith and that was printed to oblivion. Thanks for everything!
I really want to start collecting the S&V 151 once it comes up. The question is, will there be better deals come December in time for Christmas, or will the product be so hot that preordering might be the way to go. Boy is it getting complicated with these sets on whether or when they will decrease in price.
Awesome clarification work here data Danny ❤

Haven’t collected cards since base set. Really want to get back in to collecting with 151!
I saw tons of the Lance's Charizard and Dark Sylveon tins at my Walmart!
I'm Just hoping the Pokemon Center uk restocks the exclusive ETBs I check every other day and still out of stock.
And yeah I seen that since SV base they seem to be allocating heavier to big stores then LGs's
excited for obsidian flames and 151. hope i can secure a mini tin case, really love the designs!
Super excited for 151 to release! Going to hunt for those Charizards!
We want in the drawing of 151! Our family loves cracking packs. Thank you for the opportunity Danny!
I love pokémon. I'm a 20 year veteran coming back from childhood in the 1999 base set
Good to know these won’t be short printed, I really want to get my hands on some product
It’s very nice to see these boxes being available for a while. Let’s me get a box or two to have fun before starting the wait for prices to go down a bit on singles.
Fought off the fomo for 151, and now all the pre orders are gone. I know there will be more but just watching that doesn’t help the fomo
I love that they made a set dedicated to the first 151. I'm a 90s kid, so
Solid info, haven't bought cards in a long time but love the 151 idea.
Thank you so much. You have made me feel so much more at ease about this set. I have preorder a bit as I was scared of missing out. But with this new knowledge I feel I will get as much as my son and I need to complete the set.
Great info on Allocations. No way they going to short print this cash cow. WI native here. GO Brewers, Bucks, and Go Pack GO!!!!!
Thanks for the candid distribution discussion. Very insightful.
Thank you for the terminology clarification! It’s very important not to spread misinformation
Only thing that will ever be short printed in this day and age are the Pokémon Center Exclusive ETBs.
I am STOKED for the ultra premium collection. They have been really putting together something special for each one since celebrations. And I am all for it.

My old ass got trapped by this nostalgia. Def aiming to master set these.
151 seems like the best non holiday set we've had since evo skies; i just hope the prices on singles wont go through the roof since im only planning to rip a couple boxes at most for the thrill
Feels like the 151 English release is so close, yet so far away.
I didn't know I needed the binder until now...
How do you have so many specialty boxes?
Excited for this set. Shops here definitely scalp the prices in South Africa, luckily not all. Ordered UPC for an okay price
My mother threw away my original base set cards when I was a kid. This would be so nostalgic and amazing to have!!
pre ordered from pokemon center the mew box to get the promo they had going at the time seems like a fun set kinda reminds me of celebrations something to open abit of and have fun but not go ham on since there is going to be so much out there. Either way love some of the arts and keep up the great videos!
I want to rip a box of this, but there is no way I can afford the crazy prices for it.
Thank you for keeping us informed!
Been collecting since I was 10 in 1999 and I’m so excited for this set! Definitely gonna pick up a lot of these products. Only opened one JP booster box so far and I pulled my chase card (the SAR Mew)!
I'm excited for 151 but the fear of the scalpers returning is quite scary.
Mine will be arriving the next week. I'm really nervous about it.
Pokemon 151 will bring us back to our childhood, or whatever age category you were, when the original Base Set first arrived here in the USA. It will grant those not born, or too young yet, to experience the nostalgia of what it was like decades ago.
I really like the art in SV and PE, but I felt a bit overwhelmed with almost 300 card sets. I hope OF and 151 stay under 200.
Recently getting back to the hobby and cannot wait for 151. I'm really curious what this set will do for the hobby as a whole as it seems like a lot of people are getting back into the hobby for this set.
I’m sure Pokémon wouldn’t under print a special set like this one with all the hype around it.
Cannot wait for the English release - the Japanese set feels so financially unattainable but so excited to open it in September!
Japanese is hard to get supposedly, people in Canada are selling then at 230 or more.. when retail is like 70$ but English will be overprinted
151 is gonna be sick and with how crazy and anticipated it is, no way they're gonna under print it.
Thanks Danny for clearing the air concerning 151. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this. The notion that this set would be tough to get never held any water. People trying to create FOMO
Glad I found your channel. Thanks!
Thanks for all the info! You have greatly helped back into collecting Pokemon.
151 is the definition of pokemon hype. It's like celebrations all over again.
I really hope 151 doesn’t end up like Celebrations where there was so little of it printed, but I’m not very optimistic.
I CANT wait for 151. I found some boosters at an LGS in Washington on a work trip. So much fun to see the art works
Great video Danny. Get that FOMO outta here
Thank you for the opportunity
Still haven’t got to open up 151.
Seen a few stores trying to convince everyone that they won't be able to get this stuff at MSRP, quite ridiculous if you ask me
also, i have never heard pokemon was underprinted until today lol
