Fusion Strike FOMO is Real...

[@kk5chronic716]

Fusion Strike is cementing its self as the 2nd best set in SWSH. When comparing Fusion Strike to all the other sets in SWSH THE Vmax alt arts are right in line with Evolving Skies, the beautiful artworks are stunning. The herd is finally realizing just how GREAT of a set Fusion Strike is.

[@Thomas86Wayne-bp1xp]

There’s only 3 vmax’s in this set & they’re all top tier!

[@desmondmcneill1689]

@@Thomas86Wayne-bp1xpthere is 4. Intelion vmax

[@magnificcenTCG]

Not even close to Evolving skies lol. The Mew vmax alt looks like a regular vmax, not a great looking card. Chilling Reign is a deeper set than FS, but I guess its all personal preference.

[@JohtoJDay]

@@magnificcenTCG disagree personally about new vmax. I really enjoy it. But comparing any modern set to evolving skies just isn’t fair, that’s in a league of its own. But also agree chilling is deeper and will run similar to fusion eventually.

[@ViolentRainbow]

What the hell absolutely not! Evolving skies, crown zenith, lost origin and chilling reign are all better than fusion strike. The only thing keeping fusion strike afloat is the gengar.

[@Alyx_Vance]

That Gengar is 🔥

[@cardboardnerd]

you're crushing it on videos. Amazing how much content you are pumping out. I"m taking notes my man!

[@skrufy11]

Idk if its fomo. Just price realization. If evolving skies is 1150 box, fusions should be like 700 dollar box

[@Retrofruits]

That’s exactly my thinking, it’s still really underpriced. Especially in the UK where you can get them for around £250/315$. It’s an absolute steal. Sure, would’ve been nice buying more at 143 or below but made that mistake thinking ES boxes were too much at 270! Now 1000+ and we’ve seen nothing yet.

[@skrufy11]

@Retrofruits totally agree, i made that mistake with evolving skies. Only bought 2 boxes at 130 each. I thought 175 was too much, think price would go back down. Learned my lesson. Bought 10 boxes of fusion for msrp, also 10 of lost origin and chilling for under msrp... people were hatin on me soo much lol

[@CaptainChedda]

This happened with every sun & moon set except for steam siege, everyone around back then knew.

[@frespects9624]

Don't forget that the Gengar is a top tier alt art chase card. It's over 500 dollars raw and it's only gonna go up even more with time.

[@ViolentRainbow]

Perhaps the curse of the card thief drama surrounding this set has been lifted?

[@simonalcroft7897]

If you’re in the U.S. buy from the U.K and just pay the shipping. It’s over $100 cheaper and you can literally flip them for immediate profit.

[@GemTCG]

I think fusion strike was an amazing set but just got overlooked because of evolving skies and celebrations and brilliant stars

[@lou5164]

Waiting on the big LO run myself! That and Brilliant are my 2 biggest holds

[@thomascook7243]

Giratina rebirth is coming!

[@Rickmanou81293]

trainer gallery is going to come into the public focus for both LO, BS, And maybe astral Radiance after those 2 take off.

[@lou5164]

@@thomascook7243 I have zero attachment to Giratina as a Pokemon but that card is a masterpiece! My favorite sword and shield card

[@lou5164]

@@Rickmanou81293 I think so as well. I always like LO more than Fusion and invested accordingly. (I only have a handful of FS boxes). I think with LO being almost a year newer it will lag behind a bit for now and eventually make up ground. Its at least the same tier set

[@Poketeatime]

Every damn box that ages goes up idk everyone making a big deal the set is about 4 years old now right? Hot take paradox rift will be 400-500 dollars in 4-5 years!!! Incredible right

[@ViolentRainbow]

The thing is though, and I say this all the time, that even though I agree that paradox rift is definitely underrated and will have its day what sets are there now for the same price that will be worth more? You COULD buy paradix rift booster boxes and yes, you will definitely make money on them in years to come, but are you not better off instead buying something that is already performing well and having greater gains even faster? To me it's a no brainer for paldea evolved, it's a year and a half old now. There's gonna be a mad scramble when it hits the 2 year mark, stock up before then.

[@jayz6706]

Dude was selling 3 boxes about 50 min away from me for $150 each like a few weeks ago and I didn’t want to make the drive. Kicking myself now

[@theshadowless01]

Nobody wanted FS until everyone wanted FS. FOMO is in full force once everyone realizes that the supply is finite and FS is actually a great set with fan favorites such as Gengar, Mew, and Espeon. Soon, even battle styles will have its day to shine.

[@mazisamadi3395]

It was overlooked for sure but has always had top end pokemon in the set. I think surging is another box I see huge long term potential even though surging is definitely not overlooked. I've always seen fusion between 700-900. I didn't know it was going to go quite this fast but it's still got room to grow.

[@wiwog525]

Ive gotten 11 BB in last month(1 sealed case) averaging around 350 each

[@wiwog525]

Also if you compare Fusion Strike to Lost Origin/Chilling i feel like there's more top chase cards in Fusion compared to other 2 with only 1

[@NewRunescape]

@@wiwog525LO has rayquaza trainer gallery too and CR has Galatian moltres too

[@wiwog525]

Rayquaza for sure nice its just hard to compete with 3 oldschool pokemon as chase cards (Gengar, Espeon, Mew) so thats why Fusion to me is clearly a tier above​@NewRunescape

[@simonalcroft7897]

Nice! I’ve got 25 booster boxes at £125 average.

[@dr.shoveler7794]

ive got about 50 3 pack blisters for fusion strike. Only one booster box though

[@WhatiSay1]

FS is just realizing the proper price level.

[@Teacherguy06]

Ahhhh, yeah it's crazy. Kinda nice seeing something I have go up in price but this seems really quick. Should we be scared ?

[@cardboardnerd]

FS popping off, I blame Alpha Investments. I bet Rudy is over there with his PSA 10 chair sitting down just smashing the keyboard "BUY BUY BUY!!!!"

[@krisjohnson5615]

I bought FS at $400.00 on the December 29th.

[@JohtoJDay]

I got a case for $2300 shipped, just delivered today.

[@magnificcenTCG]

@@JohtoJDay I was buying cases at $480 after the reprint, crazy how things have changed. But of course i was also buying Evolving skies cases around the same time at $600.

[@JohtoJDay]

@@magnificcenTCG I remember those days. I stopped collecting bc I got my first real job and wanted to focus debt. I also got scammed with celebrations and that turned me off. These boxes could go back to $500 a case and I’d buy 7 cases lol. I wish I had the ammo to burn back then.

[@johnkim9086]

I think lost origins should be a 500 box and brilliant stars should be 400 one day!

[@OhBenE2]

At this pace, FS sleeved and loose packs should follow suit. $10+/ea at the end of 2025?

The faster it goes up, the faster it comes down

That what I’ve been saying about nvidia!! Any day now I’ll be right!!!

@ it did correct from about $200 to $100 a share after the recent split…

[@SnoMan1818]

It was a fast move too, faster down than up. A ton of people bought the top of nvidia when i was taking calls before posting the stock split

[@JohtoJDay]

@@SnoMan1818 it was like $140 top post split but it’s right back up again lol that’s just what happens when you invest in volatile assets. If people can’t stomach a 40% drop and still be buying, then they’re not gonna make it

It’s because people were afraid to buy it because of the pokemon employee who stole a number of the holos that were supposed to be in that product Let the scalpers go crazy like they are

Nah, that´s not how it works (Fusion Strike not being bought anymore at 500). It is ´the´ set now. Better compare it with Evolving Skies.
