Sailor Moon and Harry Potter were very popular ips during the 90s and early 2000s.Metazoo was tied to nothing.Sailor Moon was tied to tv shows, video games and Manga.Harry Potter was tied to books, movies, video games and toys.Metazoo was based around mostly hype and investor bros.Sailor moon and Harry Potter actually had real fans and still have fans to this day. The Metazoo X Kuromi isn't going to go up in price because Metazoo was never really popular .Only a very niche group of people actually liked the Pokemon ripoff.Metazoo's art looks like it was drawn by third graders.

completely agree. this will be dead and no further growth. not long to really establish itself nostalgic wise. literally not enough history

What's left of the MetaZoo community is devastated. Some people really liked it me included, got me back into pokemon guess theres that.

I don't think it's fair to compare Metazoo to the likes of Harry Potter and Sailor Moon. It's not just the fact nobody played Metazoo. Metazoo was a brand new IP (there aren't manga, books, TV shows, etc.) that lasted three years and couldn't become a household name. It was a predatory product trying to ride the TCG hype train during the pandemic. I really don't see Metazoo retaining any value. The only ones who would buy these would be a minimal amount of niche collectors who liked Metazoo. With the current supply, it would take YEARS to create that kind of demand if it would even exist (Collectors could stockpile right now when the price dumps instead of buying them overpriced later on). The only Metazoo product that would retain some value (perhaps increase) would be the Hello Kitty collaboration since that product involves a well-known IP and would become a rare collector product for Hello Kitty fans (mainly in Japan).

i have never been a fan of metazoo as their design is pretty ugly but do not write off MZ yet. There's no telling what can happen in the future. In the world of TCG, there are a lot of surprises

Remember when card collecting was a hobby and not a get rich quick scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I think you may be overestimating how many people have even heard about Metazoo. It was a small kickstarter company flash in the pan that never went national. Years down the road, not sure who will want it.

If someone buys the IP and revives the game in a few years, this classic era of metazoo product could be seen as treasure. No point selling now, might as well hold

if it's a low price, and you are in no rush of the money, don't sell

Metazoo is closed, not true! Has been sold people need to do your homework

I do beleive someone will buy the IP, at a right price. Maybe even the og crearer are buying it back, who knows lol
@maverickbonato81648 ай бұрын
Your reaction was: Yess, called it! Mine was: Haha, I knew it! Basically the same lol But yeah, it was bound to happen from the start. A market full of people there for the money can't last long especially with artworks like that and poor management :S

Really enjoyed your take on this 👍 I hold too much. I held this long Imma just keep it in totes for a decade and see what happens. Not worth selling, and like you mentioned...maybe in the future it'll be fun to open every once in awhile and have some nostalgia.

exactly. say you have 20 boosters worth $35 each, it's $700. that's nothing in today's economy. Put the stuff in storage for 10 years and maybe those are worth $1,500 each. You never know. there was a point not so long ago you could get pokemon 1st edition boxes for a few grand. now those same boxes are tens of thousands

Great video! I won't be buying anything Metazoo unless it's less than 50 cents per pack.

Just bought a 1st edition kickstarter, but I’m a collector not an investor and metazoo will always be tied to the covid boom. I think there’s opportunity long term with it
