Thank you! I just checked out your upload on Prismatic Evolutions too! It is certainly a set.. Also, I love your art! I saw you put Umbreon's ears up to appease your mother 😄
Always a fun time watching you guys open your packs! I'm the same way when i play pokemon, wanting to catch all the pokemon and complete as many side quests as possible 😂 I really do love seeing the full trainer arts and poke/masterball foils, wishing you guys pull an SIR soon 😇
I’m happy you got Larry 😂 love your videos and just subscribed! Supporting a fellow new creator but your vids are so calming to watch! Didn’t get as many hits as you for my ETB 😢
Yes! Larry's the hit of the video - no debate! and your videos so nice and calming too! Who wouldn't want to spend time opening packs with those cattos ☺☺☺☺ Just subbed! Let's keep it up!
Nice pulls, hopefully I come across an etb or binder box. I'm too nervous to hunt for newly released sets because of how crazy people have been lol. Maybe once they reprint more product people will chill out and I can finally get my hands on some packs 😅
We're totally the same! We saw that blooming waters was about to be released at a CostCo near us. We started planning to get up early, but in the end, we chickened out because people are scary 😅
Thank you! :) We're on the same page! Just signed up for PSA. It'll be fun to post some grading videos too. I definitely think we'll have some success with hits we've pulled so far in our videos.. (and maybe even some vintage cards)
VIdeo's great as always! Prismatic Evo is such a cool set, it's a shame it's too expensive :( Either way, you pulled some cool cards, they might not be expensive, but they're cool nonetheless :D
Thank you, @kreteooo! It was fun to open and share it with you guys. The pokeball/masterball reverses are really pretty, and tbh, I think we got luckier than most!
@@kreteooo Right?? It came out of nowhere. Thanks for your continued support from the very beginning! Your comments have definitely made it easier to keep putting in the effort to put out videos ☺☺☺
We really enjoyed your video and for spreading awareness 😢 Pokémon did in fact make their statement, and we hope they can deliver! 🙏 Nonetheless, we really enjoyed your video and opening! So much fun to watch!
Same! I can't believe we got that lucky with our first masterball pull! @ktanilaeh was suggesting we might get it graded, and that's not a bad idea. Just looked at it again, and it's got a shot at a 10 🙂
Yeah! We're super lucky to have gotten that one.. just noticed some dings on the side, so we probably won't send it in for grading, but it's still a really cool card 🙂
Thank you! With how fast the Pokemon Center ETBs sold out, we knew we'd have to get some pre-orders in. Glad it worked out so we can open packs with you all! (and Thank you for the sub ☺)
lol at smelling the etb at the start. this might be weird to say but when i opened packs from ETB's there's just something about that new card smell that smells pretty good lol. also you have very nice hands and nails, not trying to shade anyone but some people that rips packs for youtube do not have nice hands and not the best looking nails 🤭
haha thank you! I agree about the new card smell.. not sure why I thought I'd be able to smell it through the plastic, but.. here we are 😄 And, thank you! I was a little self conscious about them since they get torn up from being in lab gloves all day.. but this makes me feel better. Thank you ☺
Great job on your video. Congrats on all the views and I hope you get lost more subs. I just sub'd so that's at least one more. Keep up the great content!
Yeah, i think it is a common consensus that this set is crazily expensive for a modern set. And i must agree with you that the pull rate is also scarily low given the large amount of SIR and masterball cards. If only they are more chill and generous on these. Aka increase pull rate. But then again, this is likely another marketing gimmicks where they increase the hype of a set by reducing the pull rate. This makes people go crazy over them.
Yes! I totally agree! It's all about marketing.. I feel like it has a reasonable chance to backfire for them though.. Right now, Pokemon is starting to be viewed as some kind of luxury product. If it stays like that, the whole image of the company changes for the worse.
@@IvyNotIvysaur well luxury product perhaps. Feels like pokemon is moving towards the trend of investment and collection / game for young adults, akin to MAGIC Cards. Those are crazily expensive too. 1 box is approximately $400. Then again, the quality, artwork and pull rate is way better than Prismatic Evolutions.
@ We honestly haven't checked out MTG much, but that seems like a really good comparison. MTG isn't really viewed as luxury to my knowledge, but $400/box is way more than most parents can buy for their kids.. Thanks for the insight ❤
@@IvyNotIvysauryou more then welcome enjoyable video ,on point calm professional..I rated the work ,the fact am sure U with someone that U loves it ,Goals Guys ..root for you and the channel Keep it Up .. as this video To me Got All:" Pokémon,love , friendship,fun and entertainment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆✨✨✨🌟👐🏻
Ughh.. That is sad.. but also seems to be the trend.. Glad I watched some other pack openings before we did this one. At least, we knew what we were in for
Also I do rip & ship every Saturday @8pm est. Even if you don't buy anything come hang I do giveaways for followers on Twitch and subscribers on UA-cam every stream
Aw.. 😟 I'm sorry to hear that.. We got lucky by betting on preorders. Lots of UA-cam shorts out there showing decimated Pokemon shelves.. It's not a good situation
Heck noooo... We should have been more clear in the video. We pre-ordered them in November. We were citing the price at the time of the video. Thanks for watching ☺
I get it, you wanted to open product. But you're kind of part of the problem here. You mentioned you paid $150 for the ETB... which implies you paid scalper prices. This incentivizes them to keep charging this. You didn't need to open this set day 1 or 2, but you've just rewarded the scum that scalp product and gouge you. It's your money, but this ultimately hurts everyone because it encourages the prices to stay high.
That's a fair take - We should've clarified in the video that we were citing the current market price, rather than what we paid. We pre-ordered towards the end of November from a larger online store. It's still a fair point that we might be generating more enthusiasm for the set, which can cause prices to stay high. I think the bigger factor will be the quantity of cards that Pokemon decides to print. They're supposedly printing at maximum capacity, so let's hope together for prices to go down to something more reasonable..
@@IvyNotIvysaur I see. I apologize for assuming. I did not know that you paid MSRP. As for generating more enthusiasm, maybe that's true, but I doubt it. People were already hyped beyond belief for this, I doubt you are making any significant difference in that. You have the right to be excited to have the product, and you have the right to film yourself opening it. I don't believe that's the main problem. People paying scalper prices are. But, since you didn't do that, then really I was wrong and you aren't part of the problem. Thank you for taking the time to answer my comment, and again, I apologize for my assumption. *Edit: I'm sorry that you fell victim to the terrible pull rates. I hope whatever you open next treats you better.
@@PocketASMonsteR No need to apologize ❤ We should have been more clear in the video. Thanks for doing your part to try to keep scalpers from being rewarded! Their behavior is really scummy..
Comments like this are just completely un justified. Kudos to the content creator for handling it so well. People need a quick refresher on where we live. number one we live in a capitalist society (be that North America or Europe) so yes entrepreneurs are going to capitalize on their business ventures. Number two. Demand for anything is created through scarcity (as well as some other factors but this is mainly scarcity) so logically there would be no “scalpers” if there was an abundance of product. This is not the consumers fault but the manufacturer.. how people don’t understand these simple things is beyond me but I thought I’d try to settle down the crazyness through perspective. Attacking other community members for your ignorance to what living in a capitalist society means is wrong period. Educate yourselves and you won’t get bent out of shape so quickly.. I know I’ll probably piss a million people off for stating cold hard truth but oh well.. and if you don’t like it.. plenty of none capitalist countries for you to choose from.. also Pokémon will print this set into oblivion.. patience is a virtue. You are not entitled to instant gratification.., ever.
@@vvvRaTheSunGoDvvv Well, you're wrong for many reasons, and I guarantee you're one of those that waddled through the store like an animal and shoved people to the ground so you could grab handfuls of product and stuff it into your cart so you could sell at these "capitalist" prices (they aren't). It doesn't matter how much of the product Pokemon printed. Online stores were botted to hell and the product was gone before it even went on sale. Normal people got banned for being "bots". The aforementioned animal behavior in stores is not normal. People do not need to act like that, and paying scalper prices encourages this behavior that doesn't even occur in third world countries. And it's funny you should say I'm not entitled to instant gratification ever, as though you didn't even read or comprehend my comments. How does me saying people shouldn't pay scalper prices (and in turn not receive the product instantly on release day) in turn become entitlement to have instant gratification?
Yeah, it's a bit rough out there.. Jealous that you were able to get some for retail! We ended up buying ours from a larger online store in Nov, so it came in around $96.. still more than we'd want to spend, but way better than it is now! $120-150/ETB is nuts
Great video. Love the excitement and you can tell you two enjoy the hobby, So I subbed up. No disrespect honestly, but I don't know if you are saying that you paid $150 per ETB or just referring to what they're worth. Please don't pay these insane prices for these products. If we keep buying off these scalpers And Flippers, the prices will never go down and they'll never stop. So, for the love of the hobby, please try to refrain. By all means, it is your money and do what you will. Just remember, you could have had three ETB For the price of that one. I enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. We should have clarified a bit. We pre-ordered them a long time ago from a reputable, larger online store. It was above MSRP (~$96), but we don't have bots to get them online otherwise or the aggressive tendencies to fight at stores 😄 Really hoping Pokemon learns from this and gets better at printing to demand. All the scalping is not a good look for the hobby. I think the design of the set also contributes to the crazy prices. The good news is that Pokemon is ramping up printing - hopefully enough to drop prices again and make things more accessible
I think pokémon will print this set to the ground. Last time they sent out a memo like this was during the vivid voltage last time and the only booster box left on pokémon Center is vivid voltage. So I think it'll be kind of the same. Maybe not as bad.
We got ours pre-ordered around Nov, so the prices weren't quite as bad as they are now.. still feels bad with the pull rate.. but I guess that's the risk you take with pre-orders. I bet sealed prices come down as more cards are printed.
@@IvyNotIvysaur Do you really think we’ll have a chance to buy packs with all these scalpers around? Honestly, I don’t think so. Pokémon will never print enough to stop scalpers from clearing out the stock. And on top of that, more and more scalpers are jumping on the hype. Pokémon would need to increase their production by 50 times (which they’ll never do) just to give everyone a fair chance to get their hands on the products.
@@Sphinx1337 Honestly, I'm around 60% optimistic. 151 was super hyped too, but eventually, you could find UPCs for under $100. They shot back up, but there was a time it was feasible. The bigger issue for this set compared to 151 is the terrible hit rates.. that'll keep people opening packs for longer.. we'll see.. if Pokemon doesn't fix it, it's bad for their image
@@IvyNotIvysaur i like the way u said that, at some point we could get them for under 100 well before that set we could get any etb's for 50 and some even went for 30 because no one wanted them. And now even the products that no one wants will sell way above market im quitting the hobby.
We bought from a reputable, larger online store - we'll be careful about how we frame things in the future to avoid miscommunication. Can't let the scalpers win!
It feels super disengenious to pile on to the prismatic drama as a new creator. Especially when your video alludes you paid over MSRP but didnt due to preorder. You got what you ordered have no dog in the fight, why not bring some positivity with pulls, gameplay, or showcases. Like how your bio suggests.
Thanks for the feedback, hiro - like you mentioned, we're still new to this. We'll be more careful about any insinuations in the future; it wasn't our intent to mislead anyone about what we paid. Also, we're still getting all our ducks in a row for the channel to live up to the description. First step - put out some pack opening videos.. Second step - move on to stuff that's more elaborate. Always looking to keep improving, so thank you again for the feedback
I miss seeing illustration rares, but those pokeball and masterball reverse holos are also pretty. Hope you're able to get your 3 favorite SIRs in upcoming videos ❤🩹
@dakotamiller3286 Sorry we weren't super clear in the video. We pre-ordered them in November from a larger online store. They were still a little above the Walmart/Best Buy prices, but much better than the crazy scalper prices. When we mentioned $150 in the video, we were citing what they were going for online.
Awesome video yay
Aw thank you!!

Also, we're still getting all our ducks in a row for the channel to live up to the description. First step - put out some pack opening videos.. Second step - move on to stuff that's more elaborate. Always looking to keep improving, so thank you again for the feedback

Wear a tank top next time
I think you'd be disappointed 😅😅
I miss seeing illustration rares, but those pokeball and masterball reverse holos are also pretty. Hope you're able to get your 3 favorite SIRs in upcoming videos ❤🩹
Thank you! It'll be tough, but we have some more boxes to open. Stay tuned!
So stop spending so much on it it does absolutely nothing to help anyone y’all are seriously ok paying 100+ for etb and 20 + for single packs SMFH
@dakotamiller3286 Sorry we weren't super clear in the video. We pre-ordered them in November from a larger online store. They were still a little above the Walmart/Best Buy prices, but much better than the crazy scalper prices. When we mentioned $150 in the video, we were citing what they were going for online.
