The problem is that they made this box really big. If they slimmed it down by 15-30% it would be better. It's not really a good display box unless you own a game store and have a lot of space.
I bought this from Walmart for $80 today and… I bought it but as I unboxed it, the 10 booster packs were missing. I thought the packs were supposed to be in the white box that was in the box, And now rewatching this video made me remember the booster packs were supposed to be in both sides of the box. I’m so disappointed mostly in myself for not remembering about the booster packs on both sides. I have a feeling someone must’ve stolen them and put the box back in the shelf. I tried to return the product and explained everything and even ask if they don’t have another charizard ex box but they ran out of stock. So I just asked my money back but turns out I can’t have my money back cuz of policy. As much as it sucks that I lost $50 in missing booster packs, at least I still got to keep the charizard figure and the three promo cards. Better than nothing. But still, I’m more upset at myself for not fully remembering that the booster packs were supposed to be on both sides. If I did, I wouldn’t have bought it 😔
That sucks. I ordered on amazon so fingers crossed the boosters are still there. I picked it up for about $60 after taxes versus the $80 at walmart. Doesn't your walmart lock things like that up though? My walmart has all the ETBs, etc locked in a case. The only things that are out is the blisters and sealed booster packs.
@ unfortunately no. My Walmart doesn’t keep the ETB’s locked. After the whole charizard ex box, I just quit buying Pokemon cards from Walmart. So I rather go to my local card stores like Legends, or GameStop. A friend of mine did told me that Best Buy is also a good place to buy Pokemon cards because they keep the products locked. So I’ll buy from Best Buy too 😊
Yes, it is the alternate art that was in the charizard, venusaur and blastoise Japanese deck set that came out last year. The alternate art blastoise and venusaur from that same set are in our stellar crown.
Just picked up mine for $60 at the collector store/ tournament location. The store literally touches our store next door so it's hard not to find myself wandering in with no intentions to buy anything expensive, maybe a booster pack or two and this is what I walk away with lol
For 60 dollars I think it is great value. Imagine figures like Funko going for +- 20$, so it comes down to about 40$ for 10 packs, nice variation in sets, not that bad.
Just hit $58 on Amazon. Saw it at Costco for $58.99 as well...... Remember folks anything that is tagged "collection box" is going to be mass produced and way over priced at release. I feel bad(not really) for the guys I saw dropping comments a month or so ago buying up cases of these guys at $75 a pop. They thought that was a steal. YIKES. Another great video..... remember folks collect what ya like first, then it wont hurt so bad if ya take a hit on value down the road. Happy Hunting!
Thanks!! That was the most frustrating part of the video.. felt like when watching a horror movie and screaming at the Tv.. OPEN YOUR EYES ITS RIGHT THERE😅
Thank you. I just picked up one for $60. I don't feel so bad. Dont think I will open it. I'll put next to my lord of the rings collectible. Hope that one's doing better.
I think it looks great! As an unopened box especially it will look great as a shelf piece. Otherwise to open, the price per pack at msrp is not great. I think I will get one to keep sealed for the right price
This is my hope. But the general consensus is since there's no new art or full arts actual collectors aren't interested so they're saying value won't go up.
They blew it with this product. It could've been highly sought after if each card was at least a unique IR promo. Not worth $79.99. Wait until it is below $50 and keep sealed for display.
Its about $54 on amazon so definitely worth it at that price foe the figure. If you assign a price to the boosters of $5 ea for the 10 packs? Thats $50 right there. You are essentially getting the packs thrown in for free if you are buying it for the figure.
Hello the empty cardboard is called stability on the box So it doesn't slide around.Hello, knock knock.You're not paying eighty for the card board paying for the statue duh
I want me and my sister went to GameStop yesterday she helped me buy it we split the 40 40 and it may be expensive but I enjoyed it at least I do love it cuz I did pack another EX
Was able to find a box for 52$ .. I will keep it sealed. I also found LGS selling the figurine by itseld for 10$ so if you just want the figurine without the bloat its possible.
I was able to get one for $69.99 CAD. Was it worth it for $69.99? Yes. Not for $89.99 though. Scored 1 hit out of the 10 packs though. It’s a nice display piece for my work desk.
I think at $80 its too much. I picked it up for $54 or so and with tax it was like $60. 10 packs if you figure $5 a pack. Thats $50 right there. You are essentially getting the packs thrown in at that price if you are buying it for the figure. If you are buying it for the packs which I dont recommend you are kind of getting the figure thrown in at that price. The people who are buying this are likely buying it for the figure. I would definitely not buy it for msrp. If you look online you can find it cheaper.
This will never be on a clearance shelf. It’s going to sell out very soon. The fact that it has exclusive 151 promos alone is going to make this thing sought after.
Not the same ex zard btw. I know it is trivial, but it is the “alternate art” charizard ex. In Japan, it released alongside the recent venusaur and blastoise ex’s out of stellar crown. It is different. Facing a different way. Different art. Box is still not worth $80 however. I’ll probably pick 1 up for $50 this holiday for the master set, and if I come across a better deal down the line, maybe a few more
Pretty scummy to be honest. This product is not designed for people like us, it was designed to target randos and new Pokémon buyers at Christmas time. It is what it is, but it's definitely not for me.
It's $50 for a store to buy these to have on shelves and a case of 4 takes up sooooo much space, they should be $99 for it to be worth just storing these somewhere...
Idk how I feel, no original artworks for promos and the figure looks a little bit cheap in my opinion? As a zard collector this is one I’m probably skipping
you do realize that in a lot of states, pokemon cards are at cheapest 7.57 a pack, and at most like 12, 7.57 a pack rounds up to 75 dollars alone! just for the boosters, then foil cards people actually kinda like and a normally 30 to 60 dollar figure?!?
We were just at the store and I seen it and my old lady was getting ready to buy it for me but I told her just to hold off cuz I feel like it's just a tad bit overpriced
If you're a store who bought 14, cause they have a lot of pokemon walk in traffic, these take up so much space, the margin is actually not worth it... People definitely order Pokemon from distributors not knowing what they're buying when it's listed as purchasable. They just see "charazard super premium" and think, "that will sell in my shop" and then these massive boxes arrive and it's like, "of F"
I’d keep it sealed, those packs don’t interest me in the slightest but the figure is sick. The promos are actually cool as the Charmeleon matches the Charmander from the poster collection. BUT the Charmander looks the same as the one in the Poster Collection too 😂 It’s a card figure box I don’t think those two things are mutually exclusive 😂
Keeps complaining about the price, it was $67 on Amazon. Most of the value goes towards the figure. Maybe just not meant as much for pokemon card collectors
Would be cool to get 1 to open, definitely not to collect IMO. Way too big, and a space hog to own multiple. Would be expensive to ship if you decide to sell
This is definitely a product I would just keep sealed and display somewhere.
That's exactly what I did! 😃
Same
Yup
The problem is that they made this box really big. If they slimmed it down by 15-30% it would be better. It's not really a good display box unless you own a game store and have a lot of space.
The slot for the card display is at the base of his left foot! Look top down and there's a part in the flames that has the same shape as a card
I have seen so many tubers unbox this and not a single one figured out where to put the card on the figure! roflmao 😂
I bought 2 for $60 today with price match Amazon vs Walmart. At $60 is a great price. I'm opening 1 for me and collecting the other one
This is exactly what I did as well.
We're like
"Nah, I won't spend $80 on that."
"But I would spend $120 for 2..."
They got us
They are $55 right now at TCGPlayer. They might go under $50 if they can't get rid of them for Christmas tbh.
$49 black friday deals
It is $58.47 on TCG Player , should I buy? 🤔
Is it pricy? Yes. Worth it to me? Yes. The figure is worth the extra cost to me.
Is it a card holder ?
@Eternal_999 they advertise it with a card leaning up against it, but it doesn't really have a good card holder.

I think the Charizard EX promo card is different from the 151 Charizard EX double rare. Charizard is facing the opposite direction
Yes, it is the alternate art that was in the charizard, venusaur and blastoise Japanese deck set that came out last year. The alternate art blastoise and venusaur from that same set are in our stellar crown.
Just picked up mine for $60 at the collector store/ tournament location. The store literally touches our store next door so it's hard not to find myself wandering in with no intentions to buy anything expensive, maybe a booster pack or two and this is what I walk away with lol
I snagged one for $56+tax strictly for the Charizard figure. The packs are just extra. It’s good quality and honestly worth about $40min
Thank you so much for the review. Canceled my pre order, got two etbs and another promo box all for the same price. 30 packs and got great pulls.
Which ETB's did you get?
For 60 dollars I think it is great value. Imagine figures like Funko going for +- 20$, so it comes down to about 40$ for 10 packs, nice variation in sets, not that bad.
dont forget the promos
I just bought it today it’s $90 for me which is insane

@@Kenny-ot4yxTwilight Masquerade is in it at least with those it would hold some value.
No art card for a box like this should probably be a new crime punishable with a 10 year sentence.

I think for $50-$60 is a nice price if you want that figure. $80+ is just a Charizard tax
Statue is nice, I opened all packs and only pulled alt Zeraora - 151/142 so nothing crazy
Got it at 50 bucks in Nov, 2024 so currently a steal with a cool ass charizard figure
$50!? Where!? 😮
@MichaelSuperbacker Friday sale. But still less than 60 bucks rn on various online Platforms. I bought from my local tcg tho
I’ve notice that almost all the TSG cards are doing that lately. Digimon, Pokemon, Disney Lorcana and Yu-Gi-Oh. Reprints .
Tbh i only consider it for the foil charizard evolution set but i wont pay 80.00 when its goimg for around 55.00 usd
Probly gonna grab it for the charizard figure alone. Bit expensive but what isn't haha
They should make one with rayquaza, mewtwo
I think this box looks amazing in person definitely a great display piece
Bought it for $58 with my employee discount. I’ll be holding this for a long time.
These showed up at my local costco for 60 bucks USD. I bought two, will hold onto one and maybe open the other
Yeah I just bought 1 box and keep it for display
Got 2 from Walmart today. Pulls weren't great but I love the promos and statue
Pulls always poop. Og rule.
I bought 2 today, 1 to open and 1 to seal
Charizard promo is going up in value
i found this for 68$ Canadian on sale, free shipping. bought 2 of them!
I want me and my sister went to GameStop yesterday she helped me buy it we split the 40 40 and it may be expensive but I enjoyed it at least I do love it cuz I did pack another EX
I bought one today at Walmart. Honestly I bought it for the statue. I have terrible luck with packs lol. So I’m keeping it sealed and displayed!
Are the Charizard cards even worth anything?
Was able to find a box for 52$ .. I will keep it sealed. I also found LGS selling the figurine by itseld for 10$ so if you just want the figurine without the bloat its possible.

😮The packs in my local stores are 6 to 7 dollars a pack , i bought the box im just gona keep it seal for years to come , god willing
I almost bought this at gamestop the other day, then I read what was in it. Not worth $50 let alone $80.
This is more for EU.
We only get promo boxes with cards. This is the first in years again with something else than a card
I’ll wait till it goes on clearance at the stores
This will never be on a clearance shelf. It’s going to sell out very soon. The fact that it has exclusive 151 promos alone is going to make this thing sought after.
Just found one for $50 but haven’t bought it yet , worth it ?
Me too let's get it
Dude, you were all over it and never got it lol
I need to buy this just for the 151 promos. My master set won’t be complete without them. Smfh
This is one you will definitely need to keep until you make your money back tenfold
just purchased this for £55.. i think this is an absolute steal! 10 packs and a cool ass figurine? yes please!
Saw them stocked on shelves today at Target and Meijer….both at $79.99
It was well worth it to me I ened up getting 1 gold and 1 special illustrations rare and got a charizard aboot🤘🏼
You can buy them for $55
Dude is definetly coping that he bought this for 80 bucks😂
It was a bit of a rip off I bought it for my son. And we opened it.
Target had it on sale for $65ish last week. I grabbed 2 😂
I ordered one, but I like the S&S Ultra Premium Collection better! Much better.
I’d buy it for 50 , 60 bucks not retail
An absolute CASH GRAB. I not wasting 80 for this
i bought 2 boxes! walmart sold it to me early lol
I think price is high but I also love the product so probably getting it 💪
Where did you buy this super premium collection? Most reliable sites sell this for $59.99
I got mine for $90 🤦🏽♂️
Probably should have taken that 80$ and bought a better audio setup the feedback buzz is insane great video by the way keep at it
October 18 I’m getting that for my birthday because my mom said I can

Dang, I just started my first job after bachelors and masters degree and wanted to start getting into TCG again. I impulsively bought this.
@@Xarz9congrats dude, you deserve a box lol!
@@Xarz9Don’t feel bad, congrats! I bought this box for a little under retail and I split the packs with my girlfriend. I don’t regret it.
Just so you know... there is a pretty audible (with headphones) humming noise in your audio! Thanks for the vid
I didnt notice the sound but I do now that you mention it and not using headphones lol
Why not put packs that contain charizard hits.
I think that this would be worth around $50-55
The figure is cool but no way in hell this product is worth $80. If this was a $50, that would be great.
I just got the Charizard box and I see the card is upside down sealed box. You think packaging error, or Rare to get. I have not opened it
🔥🔥
I still have not opened the box. Going to keep it for collection
I opened mine and got Raging Bolt SIR and 5 other hits so I consider myself extremely lucky. The figure and promo is mid.
Idk how I feel, no original artworks for promos and the figure looks a little bit cheap in my opinion? As a zard collector this is one I’m probably skipping

11:15 who is this “Timmy” people keep talking about? 🤔. 🤣 jk
Perfect for if you’re keeping it sealed lol other than that not going to be opening mine
60€ in Belgium/Nederlands
Do you think these will sell out?
I think it’s worth it
Theyre 60$ here at my local card shop
We were just at the store and I seen it and my old lady was getting ready to buy it for me but I told her just to hold off cuz I feel like it's just a tad bit overpriced
Sad that this goes for more than $100 on our country at pre order shudder to think what price it goes a couple of days later.
Lol this came out yesterday. Stunning collection.
I feel it's worth it

@@KeyshawnJenkins Low-key might be my worst purchase of all time and I own like 1000 games I’ve never played
is the card display statue just meant to mean like, the statue is a 3d representation of the card art?
that’s what i thought too!
No a card sits there with him on the pedestal
Keeps complaining about the price, it was $67 on Amazon. Most of the value goes towards the figure. Maybe just not meant as much for pokemon card collectors
Good pack selection, cool figure, bad promos, bad price. Good on clearance not for MSRP with better promos this would have been perfect
I just want the figure that’s why I’m getting this
I like the presentation box and the figure. Its meant to sit on a shelf. Its a decoration. Ever add up what your wife spends on decorations?😂
Gain on microphone is a bit high, can hear the buzzing.
I don’t think you’re being too negative at all, $80 is ridiculous for what you get in this box.
I pre ordered this for 55
Just keep it sealed… after 3 to 5 years it will just go up!
I’ll have a blue Charizard EX
Would be cool to get 1 to open, definitely not to collect IMO. Way too big, and a space hog to own multiple. Would be expensive to ship if you decide to sell
I have one on pre order. Paid $59
Underwhelming to be honest. Came with cards worth £6 and the pulls from the packs were about £15 value.
