[@karleise02]

Now, in 2024, we still have the same problem lol. Nothing changed

[@shamshadow69]

The market in op tcg increasing faster than Pokémon man

[@javaheat4008]

​@@shamshadow69yep fr

[@valor2717]

The marked up prices are crazy lol. OP01 will eventually get reprinted just like in Asia. If you're selling OP01 singles, you want to sell now before reprint

[@CheckOutMyPokemons]

It already has been reprinted multiple times and the price is still inflated. My local has a heap of product but no one buys it because its at 2x retail

[@KalphosZeromar]

@@CheckOutMyPokemons that sucks my dude i guess im lucky to have a place that sells at retail

[@homierubikscubedude5]

Thankfully my store only charges market price and even did on the reprint we love under a hundred for boosters ❤

[@sukehiro9773]

​@@CheckOutMyPokemonsthat's so brain dead bc they're just loosing money while thinking "it's only going to go back up in price" some people don't need to own a store.

[@II0485II]

It doesn’t matter

[@d.clarke2244]

Makes me love living in Japan. The boxes sell out here as well BUT they're retail price and nowhere near as expensive as this bs.

[@speartongamer6080]

Yeah but they’re most likely Japanese versions. You can only play using the English version with the exception of some local tournaments

[@MCCNightblast]

I feel this. I had to go to 7 different stores to get a single booster.

[@mr.bigglesworth2952]

After the second store I'd go online.

[@lilmrky1994]

Legit me!! I just got into the game now because it's affordable 😂😂

[@lonewolf9578]

Same, I grabbed a Yamato starter deck on eBay for like £13 Dunno if I’ll be getting into it unless anyone plays it in my area, but at least I have it to give it a try if they do

[@roronoazoro2970]

Meanwhile I just started last week lol

[@Gafweebo]

Love when LGSs scalp product, great for the community!

[@chaosmaxtcg]

Ill take a blue bottom romance dawn for $300

[@samuelvainisi880]

its STILL like this - besides maybe getting your hands on a black structure deck. However you need a LOT of OP-02 cards to make it playable

[@clearmind89]

Yeah that s**t is true, the boosters are ridiculously expensive the next set is a bit cheaper but not by much

[@GabeandXavier]

Fingers crossed!

[@luigionvacay4287]

Thankfully my lgs has been able to get starter decks in, charge retail and we are building a nice community!

[@rosssmith579]

I dislike LCS’s that don’t sell at MSRP…. Essentially modern day scalpers.

[@yaboyvickk5635]

I mean if it's not a retail product don't expect retail price lol.. it's a hobby product

[@yaboyvickk5635]

And they're not a retail store.. mfs can't match prices of billion dollar companies like target and Walmart etc

[@lifeunderthestarstv]

​@@yaboyvickk5635 do... do you know what retail means??

[@Shuvit.Skateboarding]

@@yaboyvickk5635 it is a retail product??

[@gnobainos]

@@yaboyvickk5635 hobby shop just a another way to say we like to over charge about 95% of the time. I work at one for 8 years and learn the ins and out how it works.

[@edf8707]

Scalpers are bad, but what’s even worse are game stores that are trying to make the same profit by overpricing goods - sucks that it happens in all tcg games

[@alexanderhoffman7122]

The same happened to me at my LGS. I should've bought a case of boosters when the 1st set released for like $70-80 a box. I didn't think the game was gonna last tbh. But , After playing it recently and experiencing how well designed it is and fun to play, I realized I made a gross misjudgment.

[@manporo5865]

It isn't popular though, especially for that stupid mark up price. A lot of shops don't even run game days and even less shops run game days for it

[@Rejii16]

Unfortunate, here in Japan I can buy a case for maybe 200 😂

[@arashsasani-nilgon2350]

Unfortunately japanese is worthless for us in NA, only English are legal

[@deadlykeeper]

I buy singles the price of packs is INSANE.

[@ovechkin100]

part of the fun is not knowing what you will pull from the packs too tho

[@IrvinLBS35]

Bro had the audacity to say plus tax 😂

[@djsparkk8993]

I feel that they need to make make boxes. If you don't want to look for singular packs or spend 150 plus on a booster box, than they should make more traditional styled boxes. For an example just look at how pokemon does it.

[@1nnova]

At least they got the boxes, every place I got only has the starter decks

[@riolu666]

its funnier because nobody has ever walked into a card shop asking for a deck for anime games

[@MisterMacky]

Had a similar experience the other day … still want to get into it but didn’t know it’s $40 minimum just to get a viable starter deck, plus extra cost of building it up

[@DemonofHeavenXBL]

Lorcana is much worse.

[@lilkingpanda1760]

these are the moments in which I love knowing ppl preorders all day bay bay!

[@barryjennings5732]

Not going to lie I agree with the sentiment of this video. . My ability to get any of the next two box sets are pretty much going to determine whether I keep attempting to play the game competitively or if I'm only going to just keep it as a fun game to play with my daughters and friends only

[@stelios413]

Boxes going for 130 online, even at 130 its crazy. Yugioh is half the price to get into.

[@shortsYL]

They are Re-Printing Op01 & 2 AND ST 01 through 06 sooo yay

[@majestythevanguard]

Dude 300 is such a rip

[@reddeadranglers8301]

I wish I could find a romance dawn box for 300

[@daoxiong6701]

Yup, so much more player potential but barrier to entry high for TCG

[@terencehampton1524]

I got lucky to find the original structure decks before a lot of people knew about it😵‍💫

[@roguishowl3915]

I had to go to two different stores to get my st-01 and st-08 luffy decks. Even my LGS doesn’t even have any OP chaf. It’s insane.

[@nightflash262]

$90 a box with market price it jumped to $300+ and they still tax too?

[@PandiCoco30]

That's only $40-$60 (Japanese version) here in Philippines 😂

[@pppupu936]

the philippines is worthless

[@Dr-puppenstein]

Yeah it's 4500 yen in japan

[@VinnyDoesLife]

You want to invest in the BLUE BOTTOM OP1 booster box. Those are the most rare and will be worth a fortune, and cannot be reprinted. The blue bottom was the first print ever and they fixed the issues and rereleased it with a white bottom. The blue bottom is now selling for over $1,000. I have one and will keep it sealed for YEARS.

[@Only1Shock]

fr man

[@sleeptime5464]

Or just invest into stocks like normal people

[@Only1Shock]

@@sleeptime5464 im up 90% in 1 week bro

[@thanosbustedinyourmum]

Who fucking cares one piece is trash

[@VinnyDoesLife]

@sleeptime5464 you will be saying in 10-15 years, "Damn, I should have bought that box."

[@goldenboy3969]

Yup! That's why i buy online instead of local. Local stores screwing their own potential customers.

[@connergrieves4397]

that’s how i’m feeling rn 😭

[@ChrisTheElectrician]

This is my pain . I’ve been collecting them for so long and now I can’t even afford to buy new sets anymore 😢😢

[@vernonasian]

i love it, keep these prices high

[@travisluke9192]

Sameee, I pulled 2 Nami alt art. Keep em rising!!!

[@DarthTerrax]

One of the reasons i havent got into OP and Lorcana

[@Pentefix]

Bro... this exact same thing happened to me as I started out. It happened last year december

[@misterturkturkle]

how it should have gone: meaktkneckt: hey im looking to get into one piece terran: *[SLAP]* mk: ow wtf

[@kylev777]

One of the games you have to invest in pre release and make it to events to even get product

[@manporo5865]

The other being Lorcana. These are really weird times when randos buy OP cards because of the anime

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

Lucky I bought two green starters for cheap. But prices too crazy. It's a throw off to want to invest. Too expensive. They are stupid if they think I'm paying 300 for a booster box that's only worth 90 most

[@camrogers4064]

You can buy most played cards for pennies

[@YankDrWhoFan1993]

Been playing for over a year and still can’t find cards I have pieced together some starter decks but in order for them to be competitive I’m gonna have to order single cards that aren’t cheap

[@Ryuk224]

Its like getting into the anime too high of an investment

[@lisaparker271]

I legitimately understand this, I got into the game just 2 weeks ago and it was HARD to get any product or packs, I was lucky to find out ST-10 came out 1 week ago, so I was able to buy 2 and use them, been playing at my LGS and getting packs that way and met people who sell their's singles. So I am just lucky I suppose but yea OPTCG is heavily under printed.

[@jmo90]

X been awhile man! Which card shop are you at?

[@KaminariRaiden]

Same thing happened to me , went to 3 card shops

[@jasondunlap48]

Where is the shop you get your cards

[@someweirddog868]

Im into mtg with a bunch of friends.. and one of them bought 12 booster box of one piece to try it out... alone. No one in the lgs around us plays it.

[@stanl3ydagamer]

Damn.. a rare op01 box in the wild

[@clarke2257]

This is exactly how I feel.

[@BnBLion.]

Felt, Only one of 3 local game stores even got them and they only had the luffy starter deck and some not for sale gum gum fruits.

[@dbaby1051]

What are structure decks?

[@spencerlake5710]

As a person wanting to get into it this video hurts

[@Rotter01086]

But in my country it only costs 3.36 USD

[@minetech_4316]

I was very lucky and got op05 box for $100. All the online prices were saying about 160 at the time. Now I'm trying to have a very lackluster enel team. Really don't want to spend over $200 on cards just to make the team good. The price for these cards are stupidly insane

[@DPG_TV]

These hobbie shops taxing like crazy! Messing up the whole damn market!

[@clivemyrie4209]

Yeah. I wish stores would put a limit on how much a customer can buy.

[@crokar5835]

the online market is what drives up the LCS prices. not the other way around. moron

[@Nathanfx2006]

On point 😂

[@gengarvenom1180]

I hate poachers. Inflation already makes cardboard expensive enough

[@WunderLUSTTT]

That $300 Romance Dawn box aged like fine milk LMAO

[@Mobliz]

yeah it did. now $415-500

[@vitadude5004]

Its cost hardly $40-50 in my region , $300 is crazy dude ..

[@evanday8067]

42 stores, and still no luck on anything.

[@Hasbibi91]

Can find them at Barnes and noble

[@1weyrandom]

We are dominating 🏴‍☠️

[@minokawatv7236]

Yup i stay in mtg budget meal

[@aznequation666]

People are trying to sell op01 boxes for 600 usd 😭

[@Ox_ygen]

I'm very lucky to have gotten In recently op03 has some of my favorite cards, got a box for less than $100 and pulled nearly everything I wanted

[@HenryThePerson172]

Too true but fun as heck

[@ghostwaterjones5187]

I didn’t know that Childish Gambino’s brother was in to trading cards

[@sagerdood]

I pay 75 a box for RD. What are you all thinking buying at a store?

[@GG-tt3sg]

He Plus the shanks sheeesh lol

[@Lord_Bruh747]

300 is wild my lgs charges 75

[@Cryonicstew072]

Thats me XD . I needa plugg

[@streetdenizen]

Just get the ST just to start.

[@Lukalongballs]

So I need to buy OP cards now and sell them 20 years later or what?

[@joshsampsel4516]

It's not people playing its people collecting cause of how popular the anime is

[@Mobliz]

Starter deck*

[@kjbahotae]

I don’t get why one piece is so expensive! Bandai needs to make it readily available like Pokémon!!

[@aworldanimation]

300 + plus taxes is a ridicule price for this box. Is it some 1st edition or something?

[@MONKEYDN00B]

AT MY LOCAL CARD SHOP 1 ROMANCE DAWN BOX IS 100 DOLLARS, 300 DOLLARS FOR ONE IS A RIP OFF

[@crokar5835]

your local shop doesnt have romance dawn at all quit lying for internet points

[@mikemacek4470]

Thats all of them now mtg is getting outa price range 4 me now

[@Hexatomb]

Yup...

[@E1axel]

I got 4 packs of OP-3 and i got alt art Katakuri secret rare and that is how i got hooked

[@Ari_Adventures]

Yeh i got 8 packs of OP 04 and pulled the manga sabo in the 8th pack. Now im hooked and need every alt leader and manga 😢

[@skywong5568]

Why isit 300, in Singapore it’s only 72

[@MessiahKnight]

At those prices fuck that card game.

[@something568]

Got the box set for $30

[@WanoPirates]

Nah, just buy the Purple FLIM or Black decks ain't no one buying those ones lmao

[@shikaku_]

Low printing and high demand keep the prices up

[@eljavichu98wtf]

Order them online and in japanese, its cheaper

[@siho5984]

Luffy structure is easy to fine lol or Yamato

[@havuseenmymonkey6663]

It'll end up like dbs tcg

That’s impossible I bought a romance dawn pack for 70$ WTH is wrong with the prices dang

why the fuck did you pay 70$

Literally true

[@GabeandXavier]

Keep trying! There's new stock all the time!

[@luckypunch89]

No there isn‘t -.-

[@Djbadazzmofo]

I bought the new set op03 for 135

[@SenatorAri]

Shit is insane, I dunno why

[@johncarrizales6307]

In my local card shop it's at 99$

[@Youknowmysteez93]

Maybe for op-03 pillars of strength not op-01 romance dawn they going for like $250

[@codenamexelda]

One word, proxi

[@frankreynolds6831]

This game is going to die out quickly like Super. When you have over 1000 episodes, you're a fresh new game and youre already printing out cards from the most recent Arc, is just a recipe for a quick kill.

[@phelanobryan4301]

This dude tried to sell you a booster box for $300 that’s thievery! My card shop has them for days, $5 a pack! Limited five packs a day.
