the cycle in collectibles is as follows : hype product by buying it all out by any means necessary hold product for a week people fomo because no product to supply demand people flip said product to make profit on hype as more product hits market supply matches demand company that printed said product now reprints the crap out of it depresses secondary market (in 5 years no one gives a shit bout said product ) hype is onto the next new shiny thing ... rinse repeat aka pump and dumps

As far as a bad rip experience, Prizm is a super bad rip. PE is a cheaper rip and a better long-term play. Those of us who know which of the PE products to hold will do very well.
@thereverendripps173312 сағат бұрын
The big problem is unless there is a significant amount of PE on the market nothing will change. Those who can bot it up or swipe everything off shelves before regular collectors can get it, supplies will continue to be low. Restocks are happening but everyone is eaten up immediately. Next week when the tin and surprise boxes are released, everything will be gone. When the bundles hit in one month they too will be eaten up. When ETBs are reprinted, again they will be eaten up. PE will never have the supplies people think. That will lead to lower volume of singles and higher prices.

@ funny 2 months ago everyone hated the terrestrial mons. When the influx of new fans dies down (which it will how do you keep people interested in something they can’t acquire) there will be product sitting on the shelves collecting dust due to the print increase. It’s happened many times before and it’s going in the same direction now.
@flambookeyКүн бұрын
@@themobbdeep66While his analogy is off, the main point is true. This set is mid and horrible to open. Sword and Shield had bad rates too but when it was current it was almost always at MSRP. People aren’t excited to spend $10+ on a pack and take a complete bath. Yes, evolving skies was tough to rip; but when it was current it was at cost. For a long time. This is completely different and the market is reacting to that by saying “not touching this.” And rightfully so, because it’s not a fun set to open

I think the Pokémon company is going to respond too slowly to this and buyer fatigue / frustration will force a lot of actual fans to abandon the hobby. I've already sold my vintage singles collection and my modern sealed collection. I basically stopped pursuing prismatic entirely. If TCPi doesn't want my business then I'll spend it elsewhere. Once the scalpers dump and disappear, the market will crash due to the glut of merchandise that will hit the market all at once and the lack of actual fans who want to buy it. This is the 1990's comic book crash all over again

It's a good set, just not enough product, priced too high at release. Really steered me away from buying more than a couple items of Prismatic. Also, the pull rates seem far more difficult. I'll open less than 10 packs until the price comes down. Every set from chilling reign onwards are beautiful, lots of fun affordable options elsewhere.

I think you have to ask yourself, where does the set rank compared to evolving skies. IMO it is neck and neck. Evolving skies has around 11ish "bangers". PE has close to 20. So yea, pull rates suck, not worse than ES, but stings more bc of the price. But down the road this set will give ES a run for its money. If youre long term youre fine. If youre short term or skittish. Buckle tf up.
