1:48 That giant "40" logo ruins it, unless you want a poster that says; "40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40".

[@vincentcastor5978]

I was thinking the same thing. Terrible design choice. I wanted to paste them on a board and display it. Because of the 40 all over it, I wont. It looks bad.

[@Ozai75]

Completely and utterly ruins the image by breaking it up. Also just too, too many repeats for a set and too many weird choices. Either focus on the Toy Line, or focus on the Comics, or focus on the Animation. Mixing all three makes the set just makes it a confusing mess.

[@rickster_88]

Lol nevermind

[@diobrando7759]

Makes it a pass

[@grimlock_3d]

So cool, yet incredibly expensive.

[@robertfrancois6064]

I saw them behind the counter at a game store and thought they were a game set. Do you know how much a pack is?

[@grimlock_3d]

@robertfrancois6064 all I see is a box for $150 US

[@braddollahite]

​@@grimlock_3dholy shit... for that. Damn that's expensive.

[@nate1111-b4u]

haha meanwhile a hobby box of prism football right now goes for $1253 with less cards

[@ilkvomit88]

@@robertfrancois6064 10bux a pack

[@jgvillan01]

30:28 How ironic Emgo gets a signed Ratchet card from Simon Furman. In the comics, he REALLY made Ratchet suffer and enforce his apparent bond with Megs.

[@bumblebee85hastoys]

Hurray for cards...we all new you loved cards!!

[@shaunhandley3050]

Ramjet doesn't have a cone head lol

[@Muninn22]

Wow.. there are so many puzzle pieces in these boosters.. And sadly all of them have a dumb 40 in the cornor....

[@Knightlight1]

Much love Emgo! hope this year will bring you lots of health, wealth, love brotha :) THESE CARDS ARE SICK

[@procjar2493]

28:36 The card company made a mistake in the bio saying Sideswipe transforms into a Corvette Stingray when he clearly does not.

[@storm5936]

That's movie Sideswipe not G1! In G1 he's a Lamborghini Countach

[@Sneeky930]

Clicked link, expected to hear Emgo saying "If that interests you, hurray for cards" hundreds of times

[@alejandroortega404]

Nice old school pictures. They should make New Better ones!" With new art work!"

[@philrosadohtd4life147]

Long ago I used to collect Marvel cards back in the 90's. Was given a bunch from my friends, I have a trapper keeper of plastic sleeves in 9s. Haven't collect cards since it was becoming an expensive hobby. But most hobbies have an expense.

[@simonbellmont]

That is a good way of looking at it, because for the life of me I wonder who they were thinking when they made these. Are kids still into this type of thing?

[@AM93000]

The 90s…. Do you remember the hologram of Venom vs Spiderman?

[@thachocolategod]

I love trading cards, I love Transformers so these are definitely up my alley. Great review as always Emgo!

[@AureliusAmbross]

these remind me a lot of the old school character cards you used to get with the toys. I think a lot of third party manufacturers also include them in some of their sets. cool idea, i'd like to see it polished a bit more though

[@rushgush]

cool now stick all that paper in a closet 🤣🤣

[@lonewanderer_9312]

Hurray for cards! 😂 Back when i use to collect cards i was collecting wwe cards, still have a binder full of them somewhere lol

[@tonygreatwood6456]

Hello Emgo, awesome Transformers TC collection. I'm in that TC rabbit hole.. i collect Magic The Gathering, DragonBall Z, and Pokémon. Awesome video. I may go in on this!

[@Spedatr0n]

Trading cards, eh? Sweet. Never got into them, but I respect people who are!

[@shaunhandley3050]

Box toppers are supposed to be on the top of the packets of cards so its the 1st thing you see when you open it

[@vengeance1701]

I love those box art cards:)

[@rav3k2bu1]

FYI next time put the back side up for the puzzle pieces so you won't get confused on what pile

[@donaldjackson4456]

So cool actually

[@fishpop]

5:44 One way to remember Runabout and Runamuck RunaBout is Black, both have a B RunaMuck implies dirty and you wouldn't want white things dirty

[@kibbo]

1 OP + 1 BB = ❤️ 1 of 3 🔥🔥🔥

[@aunk1134]

I used to collect cards from Yugioh, Metabots, some Transforemrs cards, a binder full of Power Ranger cards, Digimon, some Fullmetal alchemist and Star Wars, and some Shaman King cards, I stopped collecting years ago since I got burned out when trying to get some full collections

[@Frankdisscutionpdx]

These look like fun!

[@fishpop]

Only cards my family collect are Pokemon though only the creatures, energy and trainer cards often go in the bin unless they're nifty

[@brianmcdonald3831]

Unfortunately because you got a rare autograph card in a box its why you didn’t get the metal one it’s like that with Star Wars cards too

[@jameshopkins166]

says one guaranteed per box so he should have gotten one.

[@shaunhandley3050]

1 "guarenteed" per box means he should have got one regardless, I'd have got in touch withe the makers

[@christophersichler98]

I have three binders and a custom deck of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with the binders organized by Monster Cards, Spell Cards, and Trap Cards. I haven't bought any new booster packs or structure decks in a while.

[@jameshopkins166]

great video. brought back some childhood memories lol did you ever find the metal card? says one guaranteed per box. Even BBTS says its guaranteed.

[@brandonpiedrasalazar7345]

Congratulations

[@famonster1516]

👌💪 Woooooo 💪👌

[@lordzarak76]

"1 of 3" means there were three different cards signed by Simon Furman, not that there are only three in existence. I bought a box of these and quickly became disappointed. Too many puzzle cards and odd character selection (TWO Frenzys?) The best cards were designated to chase series. :(

[@aldragonlegend6640]

I want those cards so very cool 🔥🔥🔥

[@__TW__]

one foil card per pack, so at least 110 packs to complete a set (if you can find people to trade with)

[@mikeconner15]

Im going to get this set. If i come across an extra ultra Magnus I'll let you know

[@FirstLast-fc7dt]

Id rather spend on the 80s tf milton bradley cards

[@carldelacruz9118]

What was the metal card? Are you also going to review the age of primes line.

[@charlesbaxley1572]

Anyone else notice it said sideswipe turned into a chevrolet corvette stingray and not a Lamborghini?

[@nicholasthomas.7553]

YOOOOO

[@mx472000]

I really wish they would re-publish the famous Panini G1 album.

[@Darqsoul69]

Hey I don't have Twitter/X but do you still need an Ultra Magnus?

[@ThePrimetime84]

But what about the metal card! Great set all together.

[@LadyArceeprime24]

Woot ❤❤❤❤

[@beLIEve77]

everything from G1 has been re-re-re-released and improvised other than the continuation of Season 4

[@maverickrod2443]

This is such a basic set.. and these boxes are expensive. Thank you for this opening. I was about to buy some boxes

[@Chosenhorse2]

Wow! I love card games, let's go play Gin Rummy! ♥️♦️♠️♣️

[@CHASEMARC]

31:11 it's not only 1 of 3 autographed cards he signed 3 different pictures multiple times you have the ratchet picture they made more than 3 or those - you need to get the other 2 autographed pictures the other one is a headmaster's cover the last one is issue 47 cover card

[@justinfawcett7844]

Came here to say the same thing. He misunderstood the numbering 😢

[@kc5946]

That 40yr tag on the build a picture cards.....why

[@fatwolf]

That was fun. Reminded me of the old sticker albums in the 80's. I forgot how ... unique (we'll go with that) some of the original art work was.

[@Believer1980]

Well tbf, the art was based on the toys and those toys were , as you put it ".....unique". 😃

[@haryadisuryonoto1118]

The design is awful, they can do hologram card that shows both robot and alt-mode if we saw from different angle. Or at least the power statistics that we read on the toy box. Many idea can be explore, but not. Too many puzzles! Great review 😊 hope you can get the one missing card 😂

[@TylerMetz-wf7em]

I collect all types of trading cards from Transformers the baseball cards hockey cards and you name it I probably have it

[@storm5936]

I have a binder full of Pokémon cards because I could get a decent amount of em for 1 Euro when I was regularly going to Spain

[@robphoenix1182]

No offense. Not a fan of the art. Where did they get that art from?!😢 Important thing is you enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

[@emgo316]

the art is from the old G1 packaging

[@Dragnonz3547]

Did you ever figure out what the metal card was supposed to be?

[@joevelkovich2585]

Did you get your metal card?

[@ronrick9150]

I got two pack box and I got a metal starscream still like your signed tho

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

I thought they were going to be the _Transformers One_ Trading Cards by Kayou

[@AM93000]

Any signed card of Peter Cullen on Optimus?

[@andrewgrant6516]

I passed on this because of the ludicrous cost. Those jigsaws look awful with massive 40th anniversary triangles chopping up the picture. What a way to ruin artwork! And where was your guaranteed one per box? Rip off! Surprised it was just box art and toys, would like to see some classic comic covers too. Throw in a Target 2006 chase card and you'd get my attention.

[@DavidJones-he7iv]

I believe since the box had the rare autograph ,the topper wasn’t included in that box

[@CarlosRobertoMarin-wk4ow]

Brawn doesn't look like Brawn?! Sir, you are mistaken, it is Brawn who does not look like Brawn and not the other way around!

[@emgo316]

I stand corrected

[@nate1111-b4u]

Where's your penny sleeves? Where's your toploaders? Cmon man! lol FYI Don't get the blasters of this. It's cheaper cardstock and lame. The hangers are the better and cheaper alternative retail msrp wise. I still need to open my deluxe pack. 1 pack with multiple sketches and autos

[@emgo316]

I have plenty of both :)

[@JasonSawyer]

Way too many of the puzzle cards. Makes me glad I didn't go in on these.

[@ilkvomit88]

Yeah they went overboard with the puzzle cards,instant turn off for me and I really wanted to love these cards but they suck

[@Windcharger84]

6:54 there I am, 19:29 and again

[@dan75robot]

shit have not collected cards since 95 fleer ultra xmen! hehe!

[@AM93000]

trading cards are expensive but not as worse as Lego

[@jasperhunt3050]

They messed up on sideswipes card they mixed his info for tracks info

[@pyro837]

that sucks missing 1 card

[@diobrando7759]

The 40 makes it a pass

[@petspeoplestuff]

No gum makes me sad 😭

[@sweetlogo]

Hurray for cards 😐

[@ilkvomit88]

I really wanted to love these cards but something about them makes them incredibly Bland. Kind of a fumbled opportunity for a big 40th anniversary release imo. I might be in a minority but I hate cards that you have to piece together to make a bigger picture. And I feel that's all the packs contained for me.

[@yunoyuluvit]

High price. Low effort. I'm glad that I passed on these.

[@Darqsoul69]

Any set can be considered that. It's all about preferences. I bought a hobby box and got a full set, bunch of creator cards and 2 signed.

[@MixMashCom]

I remember when I was a kid and they were selling Transformers trading cards that came with gum. They used to cheat by using various existing artworks and some stills from the show for some of the cards. The gum was awful, brittle and could cut your tongue if you weren't careful. Pity that I can't remember what happened to them... (sad face;) ... (Yes, I know I could have used an emoji for the last bit but I wanted to do something different. Anyway, while we're at it, why don't they have an emoji of Prime slapping Bumblebee around? Or one of Starscream bending over and explaining why he is called 'Star Scream'?)

[@AM93000]

Blitzwing doesn’t look Blitzwing

[@MystSaturn]

Whoa…

[@shockcrusher8956]

Every box should have a metal card and the complete base set.....double failure😢

[@Darqsoul69]

That's not what the box says

[@shockcrusher8956]

Not on the box,but Dynamite said on Kickstarter,that "a mass market box does include at least one full set of base cards". But they changed that maybe,because this was in the product description on KS too,but i checked it today and it isn't in the description anymore.

[@shawn6860]

I like jazz so much I want two pieces of him! LOL!

[@giorgioalbertobassano1325]

All the cards with the big 40 triangle on the corner it’s very ugly, especially in the composite images.

[@garethprigg1448]

Scalpers don’t help the pricing

[@danielpaglia9155]

These cards are fun to trade but have no collectors value, each card says 40 and ruins the poster puzzles. It doesn’t have have common, rare and ultra rare and differentiating cards among the set like marvel cards do. Seems like an afterthought for money grab.

[@jimmymushroom]

I was so disappointed with these cards. I bought 2 hanger packs. 5 packs each and a special insert. Way too many puzzle pieces and way too many doubles. They shouldn't have done puzzles. The box art should have just been one card. Also, numerous grammatical errors. Misspellings, like Trailbreaker is called Trailerbreaker. Not worth the price. And not available anywhere except online retailers...

[@ShawnGantz]

As low the budget and effort the transformer team put in to this card set.. I am happy to see you spent your money so I don't have to waste mine.. Smile face the puzzle will look so Kool with 40 in each frame

[@MmGd101]

Good pull. Dynamite dropped the ball, saying guaranteed metal box topper per box and not providing them. You arent the only that didnt get one. Smh

[@mikeguy5649]

I got pokemon cards Dragon ball cards

[@f4ll_4p4rt8]

The Transformers puzzle cards reminds me of the Fortnite series 1 screenshot cards nothing but fillers. Just wish the Transformer cards had original artwork.😔 I’ve collect sealed Fortnite cards then move on to Pokemon cards. All I have to say about Pokemon card collecting is theses people out here are pigs.

[@SMC-GenX]

Testing testing 123. KZbin sucks.

[@xenax6242]

These look like the cheap stickers you get from coin machines and not actual trading cards, now if they went with a functioning design like long the lines of MTG Transformers cards but in their own design this be much cooler instead of "oh hey sticker looking cards"

[@AJDRAGON01]

The original TF trading cards were much better, I was not impressed with these new cards.

[@adamsaavedra3746]

Not sure if it's the old baseball card collector in me or the mic picking up the sound of you moving the cards in your hands, but hearing you manhandling the cards so much gets me nervous lol. The price of these cards is outrageous for what you get. The presentation of the original toys on these cards feels uninspired. I like trading cards and was open to making an excuse to get these, but I want more from my money than what you got in that box.

[@kcnoise]

I love the idea of G1 trading cards. I passed on these. They're not good. Holofoil cards in a set like this make ZERO sense. Nobody is going to track them all down. I also think they missed on the designs. They should identify the character on the front.

[@chuckturdburger4612]

wow the quality looks like shit.

[@lotsalube]

Geez, these cards are TRASH. My LCS has them for $11 a packet. No way I'll be getting these.

[@chrisharrison2900]

As mentioned by dome others, the auto replaces the metal card. So, technically. it is false advertising as there are no odds relating to card pulls. As for the auto it is 1 of 3 of a sub set of cards. there are 100's pf these out there. Overall this is a terrible set that has been used to scam money out of people.

[@Thrawn.]

Pretty underwhelming to be honest

[@kenwatkins425]

please rethink the way you say ravage. it made your video miserable to watch.

[@emgo316]

I’m sorry you’re not a man of culture as I am and want to give his name the flair that it so rightfully deserves!

[@davidpap5369]

This would be way cooler if it wasn't just G1 stuff again. Give us artwork from Animated, Prime, the Unicron Trilogy, the comics etc.

[@skywarp727]

Very cool, but too expensive. And the red Corvette is the diaclone version of Tracks.
