Thanks for showing how the cards and sleeves are in separate cases themselves! I was thinking of picking one of these up but all the items not being in one sealed box itself kind of makes it a weird sealed item to display
Cards look incredible. Holo foil on the charizard is my favorite pattern, normally wouldn't consider another version of base charizard after buying Chinese 25th anniversary charizard and pulling English celebrations, but this holo pattern is just crazy good
Cool to see it opened so early! Had this preordered, but canceled, glad I did. Soon as I saw the centering issues and the packaging I was pretty disappointed. Also was hoping the decks would be based of more closely to the base deck starters…
Thanks for the reveal! They should have put the decks in the deck boxes for extra protection
I 100% agree. Would have been an easy change that would have had a huge impact.
Great video. Didn’t know all the cards are holo like that but now I think that’s the coolest part!
Nice! This is my first time seeing this cracked
Right!? I’ve been waiting for the reviews
thanks for sharing! very interesting to know that the cards on the front didn't come in the best condition. also, the packaging of the decks into an outer slider box, which is unsealed, could lead to a lot of scams imo. If a Seller lists the box just showing the outer packaging and saying it's sealed no one will know if the slider box has been taken out from the inside
How did you fix the cards lol? I just opened my Japanese box, and the front of all 3 are mint, but the backs don't have perfect corners, and there's whitening in the exact places that you pointed to.
Cant really fix whitening. I just push my finger carefully and lightly to try and correct lips or bends occasionally. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
They should put the decks in the deck boxes.. that would fox two issues at once. It would make the overall package smaller and it would protect the most valuable items in the collect. Seems like a no-brainer.
Exactly, heck even the old theme starter decks had the deck inside the deck box Sure its a cardboard deck box but at least is a bit of extra protection, so definetly should had done that in the extra premium product (And keeping all components sealed in the same box, specially considering how crazy pokemon scalpers are)
As much as I love these, I just can't justify the price tag 😅
If I buy it I won't open it, keep it sealed for collection purposes lol
Thank you for sharing this!
The Zapdos is sun and moon promo SM145 from the 2018 Fall Collector Chest
Oh cool! Thanks. I'd never seen that card before. Super cool artwork. Appreciate the info.
Thank you for showing that the cards are in a separate box, that's honestly ridiculous. This is a huge BEWARE, do not get fooled into buying only the accessories!
These cards are so cool. Definitely going to be chasing me some cgc pristines and PSA 10s of every Pokemon
Lol
@@ExcaliburTTP haha
Where can I buy this at??
How did you fix the issues with the cards? Video please!
Just lightly pressed on a couple of the issues with my finger nail to try and straighten out. Nothing too crazy. Didn't work too well.
Ngl im disappointed i was hoping for a full reprint of the original 151 ready to be played with thats how they advertised it are their any repeats of like base pokemon?
I need one of these next ! 😅 🔥
what kind of top loaders are those? Their pretty clean
The ones in the video are Cardboard Gold Card Saver 2s.
I ordered some of these for my personal collection. Got pretty much all the Pokemon cards except the 3 last evolutions of the starters since I already have the 25th anniversary version. Really cool looking cards. Also major disappointment for the English release once again. The cards just don't look as good and look like the 50th reprint without any special foil or effort to it. And then they have the nerve to charge $400 for it while people in Japan get their better looking ones for $230.
i dont understand why the three decks are not in the big black box 🤣
Not gonna lie, I’m tired of more reprints. Especially for $400
I'm waiting until blastoise is for sale in psa 9-10 :P
Future Java makes an appearance 🤣 loved it 😂😂😂
Does pika come in a deck or somewhere else in the box?
The Pikachu comes in one of the decks.
@@JavaAkumaI got the 3 sealed decks but no pika & energies. They were sealed....maybe they go resealed but i wanted my chuuuuuuuuuu :( lol
I heard in next wave they will pack differently so let hope
That would be nice!
I'm really tempted to buy this collection, might pull the trigger soon
Unless you are going to be playing the game, I would recommend buying singles. Much cheaper that way to get the cards you want.
All I want is the game pieces, the cones and stuff. Someone sell me just those
Are there more cards than that? There seem to be a lot of the 151 missing from what you showed.
The cards are only 3 structured decks, not every Pokemon from the original 151. The cards I showed are all the cards that come with the product.
The mewtwo is our favorite
I'm really happy that someone reviewed it, but... WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH??????
So how is this a product to keep it sealed when the cards arent even in the Premium box itself? Or do i miss something important?
I guess you can keep it sealed in the cardboard box 😂
@@JavaAkuma that's realy sad man. I realy wanted to spend 400 bucks on it, but that's realy disgusting. You basicly saved me a lot of money. I will go for Single cards then. Thanks for the Video buddy!
@@crominal2101 english might be different, especially if people are complaining already.
Why dont they put the cards INSIDE THE FUCKING DECK BOX? lolo
How much $ did you end up paying for this including shipping?
I paid $350 shipped. I got in early and there was an 80% off coupon for shipping on Buyee.
@@JavaAkuma Very nice! Well worth it even with all the blemishes.
I’d say anytime buying a box is always hit or miss and buying singles would probably save you money in the long run
Imagine if Pokemon did a collab set with Louis Vuitton or Gucci.
Not something I could afford lol. Would be fun tho I'm sure.
Funny how people don't understand what to do with the game itself even this was sold to be played. If this kind set would have been published in mtg, market would crash because of reprints of probably rl cards. Pokémon has close to 0% effect from this which is fortunate kind of.
I would be surprised if there are many players who would spend 500 dollars on something like this to play on. Seems more like a collectors item imo.
@@JavaAkumaI honestly wanted to buy this and play on it it’s so nice looking but then I saw that in NA it was going to be $400. Super unfortunate as in JP I saw it was $300
Hey java, I recently bought a radiant Charizard from you in PRESTINE 10 and now I randomly found you on KZhead. I didn't know you also had a channel otherwise I probably wouldn't had made an offer even though I only had so much money at that point. Loved the card and it's my 1st jap card that I've ever owned before and most likely gonna want to do more business with you in the near future! Keep up the amazing work and content! Appreciate the sale on eBay and look forward to more soon.
Thanks for buying and watching! I love the offers. Its totally cool. glad the card arrived and is what you wanted 😊
Yikes on the centering!
About 20-30% of new cards have either off center and/or tilted image. It is normal name of the game. I only keep the fully centered ones and burn poor quality ones.
Smh why wouldn't you take the pieces out to confirm if they are metal or not???? "I think they are metal", doesn't help me 🤨
Americaan like double the price. Japanese worth but American is meh.
Lawd mercy! 😍
If you have to ask you'll never know
Don’t forget, they will re-release these same cards in other products per the item description.
They will release the "unique" cards meaning the new EXs and possibly a couple of the holos. I do not think that includes the reprints of older cards. Could be wrong tho. We will see.
Per the item description, it’s only ~3 cards they’re re-releasing. Lol
pretty sure they mentioned its just the 3 ex cards thats it lol
those deck boxes are %100 NOT leather lol. Its fake leather also known as vegan leather or pleather. I'm not a fan of that material, goes bad fast. Its like a low grade premium material. Too bad about the card quality. I do like how every card is holo. I don't know how english will go, but its clear this wasn't what it could be.
That makes sense. They are very solid nonetheless compared to the usual flimsy plastic deck boxes.
SKOL
Complete waste of money for that price tag
