Pokémon Blind Bag Product Challenge

[@jfranciscobtz]

cant't wait to catch'em all

[@CollectibleTechDeckDudes]

cant catch jack shit if the outlet selling the boards only had them in stock for 10 seconds before their best friends bot farm bought them all for resale. Do better as a company you dont value your customers if you have practices that force people to buy them from resellers for double or not buy them at all out of principle

[@jfranciscobtz]

Yup, sold out pretty fast :V@@CollectibleTechDeckDudes

[@PrisonMike911]

@@CollectibleTechDeckDudesare you mad? 😂

[@DoubleFlips]

Seemed like Andrew didn’t know the name of Venusaur. Tried to play it off just saying his kids would love it 😂

[@MS-oy4vo]

bruh should've studied the possible Pokemon lmao

[@ele-commerce1578]

😂😂😂 he definitely didn’t know the name 😂😂😂

[@defleppardsucks7595]

He doesn’t know shit about it but knew it would bring in a lotta money.

[@zorgofxi7543]

To be fair, he didn’t know the difference between paper and shrink wrap either.

[@wentle1985]

Came for the rad deck drop, stayed for the genuine show of skating. I'm older and just starting and it's really great to see that even with people who really know what they are doing it's not always clip ready perfection.

[@FrontFeeble]

I hope there’s gonna be stickers. I want some stickers like that hah

[@lightOUTlouisville]

Colab of all colabs

[@NittyGritty420]

Better than Palace X McDonald’s? 😂

[@jaer694]

Collab of this generation for sure!

[@TheAnimeist]

The shine on the wrapping alone is dope.

[@omgit5shawnxd]

I was lucky enough to grab it in person. I was hoping for Charizard or Blastois but got Ivysaur! Happy either way!

[@nmbr1slayer]

Brand manager and can do 360 flips...that's awesome. Definitely not a a necessity for the position but makes us skaters that much more happy to know.

[@OddoRocket]

Well Andrew was a sponsored pro for several years before becoming the Santa Cruise brand manager. He went pro for world industries

[@miraoek]

Will these come in different sizes or are they just gonna be a size 8 across the board? Really hoping for an 8.38 for these decks and VX eventually. Thank you!

[@pug4ming]

just size 8 sadly

[@truthnpaws3866]

These are gonna be worth a lot of money in the future

[@belizetourism1218]

Some might even be worth a lot of money in the past.

[@billandhisboard]

@@belizetourism1218 lol facts.

[@coreycore2944]

Def. Especially gold one.

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

That's why bots bought the whple stock instantly

[@marienmike]

Worth more to a potential skater who loves pokemon than a gamer that hangs it on the wall

[@SpiritAquatics]

Please make a 2nd wave of these boards, they were practically impossible to get in the UK id really like one but am not willing to pay a scalper for it

[@swr410]

Oooh if these are VX decks, this will be very appealing. What an awesome idea for the packaging.

[@izzyraimi]

These are not, sadly. Andrew confirmed on Insta sometime after the announcement.

[@JakeCrawford]

my local skate store sold out of these in less than 1 minute because of resellers. why not limit purchases to 1 per person? it’s not fair on the actual skaters…

[@rebeccafox123456]

Great video, really enjoyed the opening of the blind bag, also loved the build. It always amazes me how you can skate anything you build. Excellent skating and video. We hope to get the gold but will be super happy with any of the others!

[@outdoorsgamerTv]

Love how they were sold out instantly everywhere online wasnt even able to get one

[@baileyedwardson1275]

loser

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Blame bots that people setup to buy them all, they probably not skating them, just holding onto them for double value resale

[@Will_RodU]

​@@TheBlueBunnyKen double? Try 5x... they should have sent more to shops, some got only like 4 decks and also ran out immediately, but at least they did a one per customer. If they had got more of them then more actual people would have been able to buy one

[@laguirre944]

Scalpers man...like always...

[@diplenski]

that's kinda sick. i was a bit older than the target age for pokemon craze, but i still think they're cool. i have a few santa cruz decks, they're a bit steeper than i'd prefer but i like to switch it up so i don't mind. most recently got the dressen rose crew one, have a multi-dot 8.25" and an everslick 8"

[@killmonger4169]

I’m getting one first thing! Probably for my wall though 😂

[@thekindnessskateshop2701]

These are so sick. We’ll have a few online Wednesday if you need one!

[@MultiChilo]

I’ve got 4 decks on my wall rn and have been craving to add more 😂 as a kid growing up my fam had enough for me to have 1 board at a time. So feels good when I come home and see clean shiny decks hanging on the wall

[@latinboy6]

Shame that people use bots to buy your product I had two in my cart but couldn’t put my Australian address , biggest L of my day 😅

[@heshhippietv]

So hyped for this 😭❤️‍🔥🙌🏾

[@thekindnessskateshop2701]

We’ll have a few online if you need one!

[@backwoodyben4360]

When are you going to hit the Tucson crust?

[@aslanbc]

shame for not knowing Venosaur bro

[@rossjeezyy]

Fr tho

[@posterbag]

Worst release. Never went live, unavailable at launch. Bot protection should be considered for things like this debacle. Puts a bad taste in long time customers mouth.

[@scorpion199227]

%100 bro it makes you feel like all they care about is as long as they make their money they don't give a crap on who buys it, even if it's just one bot buying the whole inventory. I guess they don't really care much about their fans that have been buying boards from them for years. They need to use some sort of bot protection but I guess it's too late now 😒

[@JakeCrawford]

yup. they don’t care about skaters considering they allowed bots to buy multiple in one order. no real skaters got their hands on this drop…

[@posterbag]

💯

[@Gobbledy.gook.]

That graphic is mind blowing

[@GTurismo3]

How do I get alerted to the uk pre order 🤔 Or where online release day

[@aaroncollierskate]

i would be excited for one of these!

[@heshhippietv]

Any would be amazing for the wall 😭❤️‍🔥🙌🏾

[@NitrroO]

This is so fire packaging and all pokemon skate deck is fire 🔥

[@Seijikom]

I want that Squirtle one

[@cfreeze7611]

SANTA CRUZ! If you read this can you work on another batch of these decks so i can actually get one? Im not paying double price from the scalpers on ebay. 🙏 I been skating santa cruz decks for the past 3 years and i like the pokemon images and i ride 8.0 size.

[@jacksonsickler8206]

Such a cool collab

[@adiomang]

What are the print numbers for the non-gold boards? would love to get one for my collection without paying insane scalper prices =/ hopefully they do another release.

[@Cats.4479]

WHEN?

[@dr_von_braun3704]

I didn't look at what park you were at until you said best manual pad section. I was like no way. Tempe skatepark has the best manual pad. Low and behold look where he's at 😂

[@ItzDohm]

Are these an in store only drop?

[@punkrockpirate08]

Man, Gen 1 are the best! But I think the monotone of the Pokémon themselves is just a bit too plain & boring and they seem faded against all that holographic foil. Personally I think this collab could’ve had much much better graphics, but that’s just me. Great to see Andrew back ripping!!! I enjoy this vids a lot.

[@homunculusSZN]

Still got my pink Slasher deck. Favorite all time graphic ever

[@Slix6Skates]

Gotta put some design in the grip for that board that would be tight

[@franciscocastaneda4228]

I missed out, any chance for restock next year?

[@jimmysin3233]

por fin alguien que la patina y no la guarda, muy bonitas y todo pero se tienen que usar

[@BananenPietje]

Lucky i was still able to get one!

[@teodorusdikypermadi]

A Pokémon skate deck card ? Man i called a new skate deck card ever ! 🇲🇨 love peace

[@5939xx]

I would choose the Mewtwo, magikarp or bulbasaur. My son would definitely go for the gold holo Mimikyu or Gyrados !!! These all looks amazing though 🥵

[@mattbrown2701]

Are they doing this next year?

[@brandonforster3719]

Please bring this back again. I never got the chance to get one before they were sold out. Or something like it maybe Mortal Kombat 😅

[@cedricfoust1941]

Many good memories at that skatepark ♥️

[@Metaltrippin2]

These are sick I wish they where old school style

[@isaiahdray]

Santa cruz for life

[@billandhisboard]

Apparently these are going to Zumiez on the 13th too.🤣 But are then gonna compete with the Primitive My Hero decks....

[@JeffTheWonker]

how much were these boards when they came out?

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

Andrew is still a beast! And sick collab!

[@cassthewitch]

yo, that's cool what camera setup do you use? it looks so crispy.

[@Slix6Skates]

Only 50 of gold what size are they

[@Mikey-h4e]

What if yo got a gold would you have skated it or got a different one?!?

[@TonySermeno]

How many boards were made total? I’ve seen some resellers selling boxes of 5 boards, the boxes have a sticker w/po number, and box number on them that says box ____ of 6126. If it’s really 5 boards per box, and 6126 boxes in the NHS PO #112789, that’s over 30,000 boards? We need an NHS insider to tell us how rare these really are. Definitely the 250 gold are rare. But what about the others. 2000 of each of the other variants? Does that sound right?

[@justbeinglowkey4499]

we all want to know

[@nickhilbert750]

should have come with a pokemon cad to match

[@SitKid721]

To bad bots got them all lol. Had one in my cart at 9am and they were sold out before i could even check out

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great collab

[@StationaryRocketFlipChampion]

Hell yeah Ryan! This is right up your alley! Go buy it now!

[@ryanrowe1975]

​@@StationaryRocketFlipChampionIt might be expensive to afford that collection!

[@cfreeze7611]

Why make a board that skaters cant even get a hold of cuz all the pokemon scalpers just buy them out and resell them online for double and triple the price. Im just sour cuz i woke up early to order it and couldn’t even get 1 board from the website and my local zumiez only had 10 decks.

[@61936]

Can you reissue the purple everslick board from the early 90s or at least some other colors

[@wiggztv]

This is awesome!

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Pokémon is a huge franchise, wonder what they had to go through to make these without legal issues
