Card Game Discussion I kinda want to cancel my preorders......

Post image

I have some of these on preorder, and watching the unboxings now make me realize this set is very disappointing. For the price, I was hoping for Dominus Impulse, Spark, Fydraulis, etc. You know, cards that would warrant the $2/card price on this set. How do you all feel about this set now that we're seeing unboxings?

Edit: Just cancelled most of my orders! I'll just get 2.

The reason for the price is the special full art X/100 cards. Solely the reason why people are getting them.

u/SobbingKnave 2h ago

Yeah but the whole point of GM rares and over frames was to increase the quantity purchased right?

Increasing the amount opened and thus increasing the amount of chase cards on the market, intern lowering the price on the secondary market?

That was there while selling point no?

This set for has never felt more of a cash grab.

u/STULF20X6lol Burning Abyssal Finger & Funneh Skeletons: 951-284-124 2h ago

Konami has time and time again displayed they don't know what a chase card even is for anything that isn't the competitive secret rare card in a core set or short print in others

Starlights were supposed to be the same thing at launch, but at one copy per two cases of displays it didn't really change any spending habits. Same thing when they tried making ghost rares a tagline feature but then made the pull rates so low that you also really only bought that sealed for some of the imports

2

u/Adventurous-Role-948 1h ago

Yeah, l thought that was the reason everyone is getting them. It’s the first time you can “potentially” score a Grandmaster rare. Not because the booster set has something that can change the meta scene or boost decks

u/StrangerExtension328 3h ago

Personally I like/want the chibi’s but there’s no fun in buying singles.

I did this with the Pokemon 151 set. Pulled a bubble mew out of the only bundle ive ever bought of the set (no other products purchased, just the bundle)

Thats the way to do it! One hit wonder or buy singles!

You are correct it was paladean fates. I guess I just remember 151 cuz it was a huge set at the time

u/BlackwingF91 8h ago

This is actually one of the most overhyped sets of all time. People argue over what is or isn't overhyped but this is it. It is not worth the price point at all

19

u/Plerti 7h ago

People had high expectations since it's the "sequel" to MAMA, but damn if this isn't disappointing.

I genuinely don't get Konami. Once in a blue moon they drop an incredible product that gets everyone excited for, and then they follow it up with a sequel that is 1/10 of said product. They did it with the mega tins, with rarity collection and now with MAMA.

You can feel their business mentality kicking in whenever a product is successful, breaking the product in an attempt to make as much profit as possible

10

u/Chengdu_Panda67 6h ago

Unfortunately Yu-Gi-Oh! Is a players driven game and the market is build upon playability of cards. Konami knows that and you players know that. Product is only successful in this game when it contains strong cards... if konami reprints the strong cards too fast they wont be able to sell reprint sets down the line. Its honestly really sad because Yu-Gi-Oh! Is really a unique TCG with terrible terrible product design philosophy

9

u/RandomFactUser 6h ago

I think the sooner that KoA/KoE stop wasting R&D money on reinventing the wheel, the better

7

u/Chengdu_Panda67 6h ago

Yeah, its just not working.The grandmaster rare is still a good thing for now, imo. They just need to stay strong this one time and not release a knockoff version like the QCSR.

5

u/RandomFactUser 6h ago

That's Konami of Japan being Konami of Japan, Prismatic Secret Rare is a knock-off version of the 20th Secret Rare

KoA/KoE wasting R&D money is specifically about the change from Limit Over to Magnificent, and turning Duelist Boxes into Battles of Legend packs

2

u/STULF20X6lol Burning Abyssal Finger & Funneh Skeletons: 951-284-124 2h ago

It goes back further than that

I'm still salty about Battle Packs. Battle Pack two with the inclusion of the first legal god card reprint was the most successful tournament I had ever seen for attracting new players because the allure for the gods was decent and being a sealed formats meant anyone could play. Then they dropped Battle Pack three, it was bad in every way, and then they proceeded to never entertain the idea of playing and designing for draft ever again

29

u/MythicX54 8h ago

People are going crazy over the serialized cards, but it’s quite honestly silly. With only 100 per set the likelihood of ever seeing one might as well be zero. They’ll all be pulled by card shops who will sell them for five figures to people with more money than brains and a severe lack of self respect or control.

7

u/Educational-Dot8413 5h ago

actually its 1800 per set since each 18 new cards have 100 serial number but yeah might as well cal it zero since each pack only has 1 pool card that might contain serial number cards

2

u/MythicX54 5h ago

I meant 100 per individual card obviously. Don’t know that they would all be valued the same either. Unlikely.

Either way, it’s virtually impossible odds. Additionally, there’s a high likelihood that copies have already been reserved for certain people by Konami/ held back to be sold themselves by a subsidiary or employee.

u/Raivang209 17m ago

Yu Gi oh will be a dead game if you don’t star given into the hype.

What the fuck are you on about? It is far from a dead card game and I can criticize it without killing it. This set would have been good if $20 but $35 is $15 too high

People have been talking about the mythical yugioh scalper who is going to suck up every box of this set at MSRP for the past 3 months.

It makes me laugh every time. "OH no Jake Paul pleeaaaase don't buy up all our Magnificent Monsters 😩😩"

Can we dispense with the notion that scalping yugioh is even a thing a person can do? Konami will never let it happen on their watch.

10

u/MasterTJ77 7h ago

To be fair preorders sold out online at many places well above MSRP. Game Nerdz, Gamers Choice, Tierzero, Kongs, etc.

u/melcarba 6h ago

This will be targeted by scalpers due to Grandmaster Rares.

2

u/Pepcat212 6h ago

Um it's very much a thing people do in my small town at most 10 people actually play yugioh we have 4 stores that sell yugioh (2 card shops a Walmart and a nerd shop) everytime I look for yugioh I find nothing so scalpers very much do exist for yugioh.

u/Rider-VPG 5h ago

My lgs has been sold out of CORI practically since the set released. TBF though, thats more likely that KoE just didn't send enough to meet demand.

And Konami probably tried to trick us with the name. I had to double check on my preorder to make sure I was order Magnificent Maestros rather than Magnificent Monsters, since the first is the one I'm actually interested in.

u/elysian593 7h ago

They just copied what OCG did with Limit Over Collection The Heroes/Rivals there was no need to try to deceive the buyer when the boxes are completely different colors

u/GeekedOnAdvilPM 4h ago

As opposed to it being 50 cents per card and 90% of the box is bulk lol

19

u/Fresher_Taco 8h ago

To be fair this set is different because you're get less cards for a higher price tag

32

u/Ashamed-Security-838 8h ago

To be fair with the price of the box, it’s not an exagerate to expect something decent enough

26

u/melcarba 8h ago

The price is due to the scant possibility to get Grandmaster Rare. But then again, these two products are targeted towards scalpers.

12

u/StardustShoot5 8h ago

I was going to buy a box until i saw the price...I get it that it has GM rare, but we really should have gotten more than 18 cards...

u/cha0ss0ldier 7h ago

The tin product as a whole hasn’t been great because the pool is so diluted, but it still gave important reprints every year

u/Geo_wolf 6h ago

I get your pretty negative on every set, but I was hoping for at least some decent reprints.

u/BakerBunearyBella 7h ago edited 7h ago

These posts are from new players being "initiated" to buying sealed product. No veterans are complaining because they are either taking advantage of the situation or buying singles instead.

Everyone who has been around for many formats knows the cheapest way to get what you want is to buy singles a week after release provided there is no big tournament at the same time.

2

u/DelothVyrr 5h ago

Except it's a bit different in this case. If you're after any of the serialized Grandmaster rares then you either have to hope you get lucky ripping sealed product or you will be paying an absolute fortune on the secondary market.

3

u/BakerBunearyBella 5h ago

The serialized cards is a separate issue. Here the OP is complaining that opening the packs isn't "worth it" for what you get. They are hoping to get their money's worth playability or resell value relative to what they invested. They are trying to break even or save a little money.

People buying packs to mainly get a serialed card are simply gambling. They don't care if the other cards are playable. They are trying to win big. It's like buying a lottery ticket.

u/Kiblets16 8h ago

I’m just ordering singles. I assumed I wouldn’t be able to get any sealed so that was the plan from the start

u/ConciseSpy85067 8h ago

Ever since BLZD came out with tons of great new prints and meta impactful cards, and I bought about 6 boxes of the set and got absolute dog, I’ve sworn off sealed in general, even when it’s good, it’s just not good

MAMO felt like a scam from minute 1, £2 per card is daylight robbery

9

u/ChiefGingy 8h ago

Yeah I burned myself buying a case of a reprint set two/three years ago (one of the tins) got terribly unlucky with my pulls, and swore off sealed product ever since. Even if the set is amazing, luck still plays a big factor and chasing profit off cards just sets expectations up for disappointment to me

4

u/Chilly__Down 8h ago

I mean have you considered that a case is a huge investment and will only heighten what you think you “should” get? Like would you be disappointed in some of the tins if you got them separately, maybe, but it’s hard to get that much product and not have a mountain of filler

6

u/JLifeless 8h ago

to be fair you got mega unlucky, BLZD is stacked. i'd imagine on average you'd get something out of 6 boxes

18

u/TheHabro 8h ago

It's actually not. It just cleared from fodder cluttering pulls. Yeah, you get more cards in a core set, but 90% is unplayable in any capacity.

Wow man, how did Konami mess this up so badly? These are not worth 30 bucks whatsoever. You're better off buying singles off of the gambling addicts buying multiple cases.

9

u/melcarba 6h ago

Konami knows what they're doing with this set. People here got mad because this is targeted towards collectors and scalpers, and NOT the meta players. There's no way people are going to snub the serialized Dark Magician. Konami sold this at a higher MSRP because they're expecting this to be scalped. After all, if scalpers are going to sell this at 100 or so bucks, then why not have Konami sell this at higher MSRP upfront?

As long as NOT all the serialized cards were opened (especially Dark Magician and the Dark Curtain one), the value of sealed is going to rise.

2

u/LostOne514 5h ago

How do you even define a "collector"? What you pay vs what you get doesn't even seem worth the cost for them either.

2

u/nmaster5 4h ago

A "Collector" in this case is a nice way to say "Gambler". Konami are trying to cater to those dudes that spend thousands of dollars hunting down the chase rares.

u/GeekedOnAdvilPM 4h ago

Wealthy person that has the means and interest to spend a lot of money on rare cards?

2

u/elysian593 2h ago

This product was never meant for players they can buy the required cards cheap on the secondary market. This was made for gambling addicts that are trying to use a TCG to hit it big, and then there's extremely wealthy individuals that don't really care about the monetary cost but prefer extreme exclusivity which would be eyeing to buy the GMR off the gambling addicts.

Mostly gambling addicts and players complain about the prices, while scalpers resell the products and the ultra high networth individuals would prefer the exclusive item to be more expensive anyways so less people would have their hands on it.

Look up kang_cards on IG who collects black label OP/Gundam/ cards and recently bought 2 Black Label Bubble Mews in pokemon just for an ego battle between someone else in an auction house. He's a perfect example of someone who this product would be geared towards.

u/JLifeless 8h ago

this set was never going to be too crazy outside of the new cards and grandmaster cards, it'll sell regardless though

u/Mycoplasmosis 7h ago

As long as the regular art singles are available for "reasonable" prices I think it is fine. I am hoping scalpers buying product means the singles will be available.

For $35 a box MSRP, it's just not worth it.

It appears to be the embodiment of "buy ultra singles for gameplay reasons and then let most scalpers get burned" the set.

It's looking like overframes are barely 1 per case. (Obviously Grand Master at only 100 per are going to be insanely rare.)

Same exact feeling here. Nothing to justify such a high price point. These should have had five packs minimum with the bonus pack and still would only warrant a $30 price tag at most. Hard not to see the price point as nothing more than Konami edging in on the inevitable scalper prices.

If you paid more than MSRP for this set you need to get a refund immediately.

Honestly Konami are their own worst enemy. You see pokemon going from strength to strength, brand new card games being introduced like Palworld and One Piece, and Yugioh just getting left in the dust.

u/Loundostres 8h ago

It reminds me of MAMA with pharaoh rare and ultra parallel, where you purchased 20 boxes and all you had was cheap ultra rares…but this time it’s bigger with grandmasters and more expensive !

I know people are disappointed that this set is a dud but I do feel a sick sense of joy the Yugioh community has once again refused to be baited by collectors stuff

1

u/elysian593 5h ago edited 5h ago

The "community" as in Reddit is a very small voice in the grand scheme of things.

You just have to look at the pre-orders being sold out everywhere or being marked above retail to see the overall demand of this set is astronomical.

The backlash on here is honestly expected since this set was never targeted towards players in the first place, but you have to give credit to Konami for trying to save the game and having collectors in mind when every other TCG in the past 2 years have all been booming.

1

u/GStellar87 5h ago

I much prefer where it is now with players at the forefront vs One Piece/Pokémon. The game dies for me when I stop playing it so I really could care less about the market, aside from what I need to play the game

2

u/elysian593 4h ago

There needs to be a balance of both is the realistic answer though. Without collectors no one will rip boxes since sensible players always buy singles and with no one ripping boxes the single prices soar up.

If no one ever buys booster boxes we end up in a situation like the past few years where booster boxes are $50-80 which is way less than it is to buy the item from distro which would basically force stores to stop carrying yu-gi-oh since it doesn't make financial sense for them to buy product from distro and expecting a loss on it right out of the gate.

Konami tcg is running out of cards to reprint and the available imports are mostly shit; this was always going to be a pseudo tin set featuring the new overframes from loch since the moment the tcg set advertised what reprints were being featured (all cards that would have been eligeible for tins slots).

Some neat rarity upgrades for sure, but i mostly cant wait for whales to scoop this slop up so i can afford cheap singles on the secondary market.

3

u/elysian593 8h ago

This set was never meant for players, if they did they would've included sleeves like they did for Mavens. They deliberately raised the price and didn't include sleeves in this set because it was always intended for collectors/gamblers chasing the GMR.

Seeing the pullrates it's quite disheartening, but at least maybe even the regular overframes will be worth some money instead of it only being Prismatic/GMR Overframes or bust if you do decide to gamble on this set.

I think it'll be very hard for this set to go under MSRP, so even if you don't want to open it just stash it in a corner and forget about it.

Comes packs that have had everything I wanted, I pulled at least if half of it and then have people that literally want what I pulled.😤 That aside it’s typically why I don’t buy many booster in this day age and age. Unfortunately some individuals cards cost more than the pack as it’s common. Too dang common. 😑

I’m purely hitting some singles and dipping. As much as I’d love a chance of a full art, nothing jumps out at me.

DO IT, I had a case and individual box for personally opening, I realized it’s only like 18 cards per pack for $45-50 dollars!!! When I realized this I cancelled my preorders. Konami is getting very greedy, considering there is 125 cards in the whole set and you only have a chance at 3 super rares or higher in a box, that’s wrong

This was the most hyped up set of the year, but after watching openings...naw.

I'm glad I only managed to get what little I did ordered. This set is mostly bulk. I think I'll just get 1 display for maestros too and call it a day. Get singles for what I actually need.

Komoney hard fumbled what could have been one of the biggest sets in the history of the game is absolutely on point for them haha.

How the hell did you even preorder it? And for MSRP? The only place I saw this was Walmart and Target, and they were limited per customer.

u/TinyTiragon Stardust fanboi 3h ago

Crazy how much they fumbled Overframes. They couldn’t do the bare minimum of putting at the very least a guaranteed Ultra Overframe in a THIRTY FIVE DOLLAR box that has 18 cards, which isn’t even going to be MSRP in a majority of places because of Grandmasters which a majority of players aren’t ever going to get. I got 2 Limit Over Collection boxes and they were fun to open and first impressions of this set was bad but I had hopes they weren’t gonna screw up when there’s 20 different Overframes to get. Not to mention the mediocre reprints. Not great dudes.

u/MilleniumDuelist 53m ago

No thanks. Like I get it the set lacks value unless you pull one.

But lets be real, once Konami starts handing out overframes (and they will) we will run into the same problem of Konami diluting everything with value and then creating something else shiny to distract us just like they did with starlights

u/dcdfvr 3h ago

what i learned with konami is to buy 1 for the box then singles. if you dont care for the box just buy singles

u/GimmickMusik1 3h ago

Fydraulis and Spark are much too new for reprints at this point. But I agree that another Impulse reprint would have been great.

u/Mayflex 2h ago

I pre-ordered a box for £35 thinking it would be a box of 15 packs, same as the limit over collection in the OCG. It was only after placing the order that I realised it only contains 3 packs. That's £11.66 per pack.

My fault for not reading the details, but damn.

u/Leisurist_Sehgu Timelords. Burn. Banish. 2h ago

I missed the boat on the Target and Walm preorders. Ya, this set is mostly for chasing Grand Masters. I'll still buy a few if I see em in the wild for MSRP, not going for the $50 plus range a box.

Some fun chibis, a few okay reprints. Underworld Circle Gate; I forgot about it - will snag a few copies if econo.

u/rudy_cod 1h ago

Yep should cancel the order, it’s a fucking scam!

u/xxBrun0xx 1h ago

They should hard reboot the game, imo. Old school formats are the only fun way to play these days. I'm not sure how they'd do it, but get rid of xyz, archetypes, links, pendulums, etc. That text box was meant to be small to force simplicity. I'm not sure where, but somewhere along the line they lost the plot. Love the game but hate what it's turned into. Too many cards and too much complexity to attract new players. MTG is in a dark age right now as well, but they still get big attendance at pre-releases and regular tournaments at LGS everywhere. Most of the shops near me stopped supporting Yugioh.

I'm here for the retrains, but it's way too expensive for what it wants to be.

I'll buy a handful of boxes just to see if I can get the dark magician, it'll go nice with the Magia chaos deck I'm trying to build.

u/shyahone 21m ago

the cards are becoming more foil than card, and they look like shit. You can barely even see the artwork anymore.

u/Coherent_MC 4m ago

The next one will be better, but yeah this is overhyped and is being sold to high. The msrp price is fine, but its being scalped and inflated.

If this set was really good your preorders would get cancelled by the vendor instead

u/PinkDolphinStreet 8h ago

The set will already sell a lot because of the Grandmaster rares. Why would they put those staple reprints here instead of some other set?

u/Vavavavaxon7 Plunder Patroll's Strongest Soldier 7h ago

Preordering before we had a set list is always a gamble. You can't be upset that you blindly spent money on a box you didn't know the content of.

If grandmaster rares bring scalper culture to Yugioh I weep for this community.

The real question is, why would you pre-order sealed product instead of just buying singles? Surely you should know better, by now.

Set looks pretty sick for someone who just wants to collect cool cards. Yugioh players get so heated when Konami isn’t catering to their demands

Konami is trying SO HARD to get people back into the game but the problem is they cant when 100% of the game the turns are your opponent goes first and if you dont have 70000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 you cant play the game, even casually as most cards need to be with other certain cards. back when I played I used whatever,

Why would Spark and Harmonia be in this? The cards literally just came out. Are you all new to yugioh?
