    "How needs a plan when you have dumb luck." needs to be my new vocabulary.

    Happy New Year Jake! This is a great start! At the current market price for the booster boxes you broke even. And these were really good boxes.. Which is the problem with this set right now. You can just buy the singles of the cards and be better off (most of the time). But way more fun trying to pull them.

    I think 2023 will be the year I fully switch to buying Japanese sets. Like you said, the English ones have no guarantees about pulls and I've been burned too many times getting almost nothing lol. Also, Happy New Year!

Other than that, I also pulled the Charizard V alt art from Brilliant Stars! An Awesome way to end 2022! Here's hoping for more fire pulls in 2023!

    I hit a god pack, a gold giratina, a gold dialga, 3 friends in hisui, 3 radiant Charizards and almost every AR and SAR minus a Suicune SAR which I'd love to get. But yea I threw a lot of money at whatnot for pulling those cards. I'd say to anyone that really wants to open this set just focus on buying boxes that you personally will get and open. This set is amazing, sadly the English one won't have god packs in them, and it's worth a little over MSRP if you can't find it on Japanese stores websites.

    TwicebakedJake. Got a question for ya if ya get this or anyone that might read this. Recently I've decided to change almost 💯 to japanese cards sense they're better quality most the time. So my question is japanese bulk. Is their a good way to sell japanese bulk? I know English bulk is easy enough for the most part. But if I do almost nothing but japanese I wanna know how to sell that bulk so I don't just throw away

    • @TwicebakedJake
      @TwicebakedJake  Рік тому

      Sure, there are definitely buyers for Japanese bulk. If you buy pokemon cards I would message the sellers you buy from and work out a deal with them. I've made many new friends and contacts that way. Or just list your bulk up for auction and the market will decide how much they're worth

    • @TwicebakedJake
      @TwicebakedJake  Рік тому +1

      I do not! If you watch this video you'll see we show a $400 Japanese Marnie even though it has a $40 english version, and a $400 Japanese Charizard & Reshiram even though there is a $10 English Version. Japanese versions of cards can still outperform their English versions. Especially in this case where the Japanese Pikachu is significantly more rare

    You were extremally lucky with those 2 BB. I opened 1 BB of Vstar Universe and can't agree that the pulls were great. I got FA Roxanne which got terrible centering and some weird dot on the front which means it won't get 10. I won't agree with you that japanese quality control is flawless. Other than that I only got Lucario SAR which is pretty much worthless because it'll be in every ETB. This set is very overhyped. I think long term it won't be as good as Tag Team GX All Stars because most chase cards like Irida are based on Legends Arceus which won't hold as much nostalgia as 1st gen characters or Pokemon.

    • @dspokemoncards6184
      @dspokemoncards6184 Рік тому

      You only opened 1 box and basing your opinion on that definitely need to open some more and yea gx all stars i would say the pull rates are better in v star universe the the trainers are getting expensive from that set but seems harder to get them but i will agree i don’t think this set will be worth as much as tag team gx but this set does have some awesome gem 1 cards the zards and the mewtwo and the glacion and leafon i think this set does have some amazing cards from older generations like the suicune and other dog cards

    • @ant_989
      @ant_989 Рік тому

      @@dspokemoncards6184 Yeah just as I said most of chase cards are from Legends Arceus and not many people are crazy about this spin-off game overseas. Rest of the cards will be available in english with Crown Zenith so there's no exclusivity like in Tag Team GX All Stars. For instance in TTGXAS you have FA of Erika Hospitality, FA Sightseer by Naoki Saito and FA Misty & Lorelai which haven't released in english. Those are gorgeous cards and you really don't have anything like that in Vstar Universe. Nothing to chase, just buy singles in japanese or english. I suspect even those 9 cards from God Pack with Pikachu will be released here in some box collection.
