Konami Is REPRINTING Light Of Destruction!?! (But Why?)

Come on Konami, reprint Cybernetic Revolution now!

[@soraknight3344]

[@rustymoneyawesome]

I think this is a great idea. Konami is re-printing an extremely expensive set that supports more casual investors and also time wizard formats. They continue with other sets from the same error.

[@jkurtzz]

Oh well since rustymoneyawesome loves cheap rykos everyone get excited 🎉🎉🎉 he loves the idea!

[@FloundFahrdienst]

Why would it support time wizard formats? There are plenty of reprints that cost a few cents. I understand that its cool to pull the high rarity cards like Honest or Judgment dragon. However, Im really worried about the ultimate rares in here and ghost honest like ruxin already said

I’m actually extremely happy they’re re-printing an old set like this. Unfortunately, I got out of the game around the time of the lost millennium and came back in in 2019. So this gives me a great opportunity to reopen old stuff and get those cool old rarities without having to pay a crazy premium!

Reprinting old sets is always awesome for those who are not able to purchase the original prints.

Konami should reprint Cybernetic Revolution so when Ruxin34 pulls a UFOroid it isn't old enough to vote.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

From a collectors perspective Yugioh is BRUTAL... so many reprints that cards get slammed into the $00.15 territory... and yeah sure this particular printing doesn't even seem really like a huge deal for pushing prices down BUUUUT you'd rather have this than MTG where the community it happy to get reprints of hardly playable cards from 20 years ago because they cost $50+ and now they only cost $40. Yugioh reprint everything into the ground strategy is SO good for consumers who want to play or casually collect for nostalgia. If you're looking to collect for investments stick to Magic and particularly the reserve list (I suspect one day they'll change their mind about that though)

[@marcanthonyskidmore4131]

Its about enjoying the game bro! Why bother about the prices? I really don't get it.

[@kevinli4567]

You are right! In my opinion so many so called "collectors" absolutely destroyed the market with exagerated prices for collectors who collect for nostalgia reasons.

[@rathpunks]

I wouldnt mix up 'collecting' with 'investing' Im a collector, i like to have the cards i like. I dont care about if it will be worth more in the future. Of my collection is worthless 10 years down the line, i dont care, because im not planning to sell it. If you are an investor who wants things to be worth money. Get 1st ed not unlimited

I hope not, old style ultis are much better than the newer ones. The hole card in the middle is stamped, not just the background. But it will most likely be in the newer style imo.

[@Jarke]

My only issue is I feel like the secret rares won’t be as good cause they will be on that new dice studio card stock..

[@TheRJB0]

I think they've identified that people like the particular high-rarities from LODT, and that LODT, PTDN and TDGS are historically some of the most popular sets but also the most scarce.

[@Medrois]

i would honestly love to see other extremly hard to get sets to be reprinted, a chance for everyone to open these

[@billierey]

They should reprint all GOAT booster pack sets!

[@gyroh6593]

And this time, they should also upgrade the text on all cards. Not just reprint the cards with exactly the same text they had since the last time they were printed. Like, the effect on Bubonic Vermin in pharaonic servant (reprint) says to special summon another copy of itself in facedown defense, and then it says “ *then shuffle your Deck.* ”. It shouldn’t be hard at all to modernize the text. Some of the cards weren’t worded very clearly for you to know exactly how they were supposed to work.

[@jacksonmcquade7888]

Better be printed in the old card style but probably won't 😢

[@LocrianDorian]

They should reprint all the older sets. Light of Destruction is probably the most iconic set outside the first 5 sets in my opinion. Love Lightsworn.

@@FloundFahrdienst It is possible you lived by a shop willing to import them. At that time period Europe wasn't consistently printing english cards.

[@slifer19964444]

Hm I dont know what to think. Havent played in months too. Maybe Im on the verge of quitting for good. Hopefully, lol. I feel like ygo is dying down in general, which is natural. They have printed most cards imaginable and gameplay is really suffering regularly. After 25 years its normal that you cant be original while printing 500 new cards a year while keeping the gameplay intact. Idk what to think of the whole 25th thing too. Imo they killed the contemporary coölectors market/ made it way too complicated and overcrowded. ( Degrading so many rarities as they did in rarity collection). Kinda sad..maybe ygo really hasnt many more years in it..

[@xxFortunadoxx]

I think they're avoiding the NA market specifically so that they don't step on collector's toes with reprinting these old cards. This is their way of not pissing off collectors while still getting to double-dip on the booster.

[@jamesjones-uy1dy]

Good way to push out investors and collectors. Myself as a collector/investor in Yugioh, the reason we buy and collect the set/cards is because of its value over time, and now Konami wants to reprint valuable sets?? Good luck to all Yugioh collectors/investors. I'll be moving to other TCG.

[@pille9899]

I don´t get it, either. And I can´t see a certain reason for releasing that specifically here in Europe. Not Neccessary at all, if you ask me. Maybe it´s cool for some people to have more cards in the new card format, but thats it. As I always mention in those situations: if they want to make huuuuge money in Europe, they just need to do reprints for LOD, PGD and MFC because we never got releases of these sets here, yet. For me as a German language collector, that would be awesome.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

This gets me excited about other future reprints. I loved the older sets and wish I was able to go through them as a kid, but nowadays their prices mean they're only good for sitting sealed on a shelf.

It just depends on what kind of collector you are. If you get the cards just to own them it wouldnt matter if they reprint it a decade after. If you collect cards for value to resell them later this is ofc an issue.

[@RunicSigils]

They should just reprint every set on a regular chain to help slow down printing brand new ones.

[@ttvfunctionalheart9818]

Tbh they should just reprint all boxes in chronological order.

[@RunicSigils]

Yeah, ideally I would say either replace at least one main and one side set per year with a reprint each to slow the power creep or at least aside a week in July like last year where they just reprint 4 to 6 at a time. Or even better, just start printing boxes that are 5+ years old and put them up on their own site. Retailers won't care about product that old except the ones who price gouge for the investor numpties. Let people swing by and grab them whenever they want with a bit of a markup since they wouldn't be mass produced. This would also give them a more direct idea of exactly what sets people want when they do collections moving forward. Collections that could be modified versions of the original sets with different rarities like they should have done last year since they were changing the print anyway. Imagine if they were, say, LOBA-EN### where all of the rares were bumped up to the next level to mimick a modern pack and then everything ultra rare and above in the original set was also a quarter century secret of which you were guaranteed one per box (since there were six sets with 10 ultras and two secrets, that would mean there would be 72 total so at least one per box is warranted in such a system). I bet more people would have cared.

If the cards will have the same new style as the og sets reprints, no thanks. What they did for these og sets was acceptable only because of nostalgia and for people who weren't born in 2002-2004 and didn't have the chance to open them. But I can't understand a reprint of a set like Light of destruction (awesome set without any doubt) only because of few pricey cards. They could've fit perfectly in some collector's rare set, other side sets like battle/brother of legends or even in an OTS pack. They could've reprint sets like MFC, PGD or LOD that were only NA exclusives and also has a nostalgia thing

It's pretty unlikely they won't be because they've already confirmed reprinting the Lightsworn Deck on the same day. Would be pretty weird if only half turned out to be true. I guess it could be that someone misinterpreted the deck as being the set but that's a rather hard mistake to make. Especially when it's coming from multiple sources.

so i've had a conspiracy theory for months now that we're getting og mirror force in rarity collection 2 because they've done everything they can to remind us it exists, without reprinting it directly yet. this is also shown in the fact we're getting an entire new gold sarc archetype/series in a few weeks, and look at that! gold sarc is already confirmed for ra02. so what's the other thing they've been emphasizing recently? the lightsworns. so why're they doing this now? my original prediction on tuesday was we were getting jd or ryko in ra02 but this reprint really focuses my mind a bit and i have simultaneously something both more and less bold: we're getting honest in ra02. solid edison card, iconic for collectors but hasn't come up too fancily in awhile. my other hard prediction and the longer the banlist takes to drop the more certain i'm becoming of this: the banlist is gonna bring tidal to 1 and we're getting all 4 dragon rulers in ra02 as well. they unbanned them in master duel purely to sell a set, and they've been slowly unbanning dragon rulers in the tcg for a hot minute now with the only one left being tidal. but yeah why're they announcing now that the light of destruction reprint is coming in august? imo, purely to get us hyped about honest so that we can be even more hyped about it when it drops in ra02.
