Opening NEW Walmart Rarity Collection 2 Boxes! (Too Expensive?)

[@Keitek]

3 packs for $30 is insane, just save up and buy a booster box for $100-110 that comes with 18 packs.

[@XxHygherUpxX]

if it were half the price for the mini boxes it would be more appealing

[@soup_doctor]

Booster boxes at my card shop are $180

[@vitalsmile9309]

Where is it for 110 because I'm not buying this because RC1 was that price and better cards but RC2 costs more (as far as I know) and a Lil less better cards.

I saw some locally but I had to pass. I'd support a local card shop with these prices, but not Walmart.

[@AetherPhantom]

I wouldn't support Walmart at all.

[@ddot4516]

why? I’m confused you act like Walmart makes the prices.

[@AetherPhantom]

@@ddot4516 not for that, they put tons of local businesses out of business.

F LOCALS. Support tcgplayers

[@AetherPhantom]

Walmart puts tons of local businesses out of business everywhere they go

[@jedijunior420]

I agree with your take on the higher price for higher quality. It makes sense. I rarely buy loose packs anymore. It's much easier to buy a few boxes and get most of the set.

[@ernestodeanda5251]

Definitely like the new angle better can actually see the rarities

[@Raeprim]

The new angle is much nicer. It looks clearer and maximizes the space the cards take on the screen.

[@MangoBBT]

The new angle looks great! The shine on the cards really stands out compared to before.

[@CrimsonOmega-]

I think the new camera angle lets us see the foiling on the cards much better, especially the Luxury Rares.

[@bonjoneon3881]

30 bucks isn’t for me, but on the shiny cardboard topic the single card market’s looking great!

[@kingbushybeard6543]

I think the problem is that the value just isn't there to justify it. Some locals have to bump the price on the set too cause they can't get a good price from distributors. One box $150 after tax... about 8.50 per pack when more often than not you're pulling less than 5 bucks in value per pack.

[@h_zed]

The angle is better because the foil catches the light really nice

[@AshwinSelvakumar]

This is the opposite of legacy of destruction. The online prices seem better than walmart prices. But this takes out the risk of getting scammed out of the picture. RAC02 is still pretty good

[@oelsay4]

The mini boxes are a great idea, I love it, but the $30 price tag is tough!

[@caboos262]

This entire set is expensive no matter how you buy it. Hoping terminal revenge goes back to standard prices. Really looking forward to the new ice barrier cards

[@Jrpg_guy]

Man i really want the ritual beast stuff

[@kazzar831]

My local Walmart moved the cards behind the cigarette line for a few years and it was so hard to buy cards during that time. You couldn't even see them all, and explaining to a boomer cashier what you're wanting was like pulling teeth. They finally moved them back to their original spot by the self checkout and you can get to them yourself again.

[@Woizp]

I definitely think the price is better online even if it takes a while to arrive. Worth the wait!

[@Capamike]

It's expensive but still worth it. Booster box is still the way to go I think. Really like the new angle for the videos! (rip the games in the background)

[@TheySeeMeTrollen]

The best part about rarity collection is the singles. Nothing better then 30c magicians soul/ blue eyes cards.

[@Karatedude10-i8z]

Considering the packs are 10 bucks each by itself, I say you're not really losing anything or getting ripped off. Again, the problem mainly comes from Konami charging so much for the packs in the first place. So yes, Walmart and other retailers selling these are doing an ok thing doing this.

[@Sox207rocks]

they are expensive in comparison to boxes which are 6 and a half bucks per pack vs 10 at walmart

[@oldschooldbz7902]

That's why there called "Komoney" not Konami, my Walmart is literally screwing me by changing $35 to $38 for a box of these

[@Sox207rocks]

@@oldschooldbz7902 actually R.i.p with those prices, buy from sassyotto, i got rca1 from him

[@1hpOutbreak]

HERE IS WHY MSRP, meaning Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, is the price that a manufacturer recommends for stores to sell their product. Some retailers may also refer to the MSRP as the "list price." You're welcome.

[@klarkgoros2343]

Yugioh players are so hard to please. More foil = more money. Do you expect Konami to just eat that cost? Also, these RC sets have been the best sets Konami has ever printed by far. If the drawback to dirt cheap singles is higher sealed cost, it's a big W.

[@musc16s]

Damn these are steep prices but that's for the set as a whole. The specific product you got was right in line. It does make me realise how much crazy money you must have spent to fill the binder though 😬😂

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Rarity collection doesn't disappoint with the shininess of the cards.

[@Undici]

Nice opening! In terms of value, a booster box would definitely be more worth it. However, it is still going to cost you more to buy an entire box, so these 3-packs are still a nice way of getting a "shiny fix" every now and then... while stocks last! :)

[@proto9541]

This collection is INSANE!

[@elredfox9151]

I agree they could be just a little bit cheaper and it would be perfect. Thanks for the video Ruxin!

[@soulstarved4116]

For the record. RC1: 80$ for 24 packs 5 cards RC2: 140$ for 18 packs 9 cards RC1: 66c per card RC2: 86c per card Maybe its different for others, but this was the prices at my locals. Despite it being more expensive, I think it would have been fine if the cards in the set were actually worthwhile. Its all niche off-meta that you probably already have and rarely use. Like Trident and Bonfire would have been perfect for this set, I know they're trying to save the core set for the tins, so the others are excusable.

[@d4nte568]

it makes sense since it is basically 3 packs and a box

[@Sigma13Angel]

30 dollars per box is insane. If they had a promo like the Legacy of Destruction mini boxes did then maybe they’d be worth it though.

[@NBFGrimReaper]

wait, theres legacy mini boxes?

[@Sukasaha]

Loved the opening and pulls! The value definitely isn’t there but it might the only available option for some people

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

1:42 I've never heard a cart called a buggy 😂 Great content keep it up!

[@illfamouslli4499]

I’ve called them buggy’s my whole life.😂😂

[@fotiss908]

I think it's pretty expensive so it's pretty generous of you to give as a chance at such a great giveaway 🔥🔥🔥

[@johno.8089]

I agree with what you said about the value being there. It's 3 packs of all holo foil cards. Been buying the retail boxes when I see them.

[@nelus4blood]

That’s actually an amazing opening! Especially the best card from this set you pulled in my heavily biased opinion! (Aluber is my favorite card, and the qcr version is really epic as a pull!) I actually really like the rarity collection 2, but sadly haven’t found a single pack in the stores here as of yet 😭 Have a wonderful day everyone!

[@songoku3803]

That Honest Ghost Rare looks dope 😍

[@PedroMike35]

Sure it's a bit expensive, compare to usual sets, but as you said when you don't to wait for your shipment or just want to buy packs it's a great deal ! Here in France, each pack is like 13€ and 25€ for a 2 boosters box in shops haha

[@MinaKushi]

I missed you so much ruxin, i've been missing a lot on youtube

[@Petroschek1]

Excited for the whatnot stream! But these boxes are too expensive. Entry price for these are crazy

I’m almost 50. Been thru a lot of things in life. Agoraphobia ptsd ect. I have difficulty getting out in the wild but I’m a huge collector. I’m learning yuigo for my son. We collected when he was younger as well as Pokemon. Looking at this product

[@TheBigDizz]

You did the math for me at the end and I really appreciate it haha 😂

[@ReliousFlareStar]

Clutch it out Rux! My signed Ra came in and I love it!

[@BroMorris0341]

The best deal for us who just like the shiny, Sassy Otto has 100pk of random holos for $20. .....And you get more than $20 worth for your money.

[@stargazer4784]

More worth it buying online!

[@XynfulSecrets]

They were $22.99 usd here for a 3 pack box and the pulls were pretty worth it. Made the money back and was able to keep some cards for my control deck

[@redoctober67]

You should order an EU box of RA02 from Kong's or TierZero and do a side-by-side opening for fun. It'll really change your perspective on the print inequality.

[@imjustsaiyan7846]

im loving Rarity 2, its helping me build my blue eyes decks

[@h40_mobbslosttribe3]

I like ritual cards and that platinum prismatic looked awesome

[@UsableBill]

magic collectors packs are similar to rarity collection but rather than foil staples, its all foil cards but from that specific set! For $30 per pack tho, it can be a bit of a gamble considering the odds

[@LightshaverConstellation]

Yeah the price at walmart is expensive. The only reason I brought them over getting a box is I'm notorious for having awful booster boxes and pulling notably above average on any other product with packs or just packs themselves. (I got 4qcr in 9 packs with one being ghost ogre and in total got 10 cards that wasn't the standard super, ultra secret rarity)

[@SurfNturfz]

I got the alt art QCR droll and lock and another QCR from one of those walmart minis. I managed to pick up 2 boxes for $36 off ebay though. Exited for those to come

[@DnisGTA]

The QCR Aluber looks awesome! Wish I had one for my branded deck

[@teengohanss7]

love these walmart videos lol

[@iland95]

It’d be cool to go to my local wal mart to test the pull rates haha

[@reptar_z338]

I think they are worth it! I pulled some fun cards from them. RC 1 Walmart boxes had 5 packs of 5 cards and the RC 2 boxes have 3 packs of 9 cards… both mini boxes cost $30 so you’re actually getting more cards for your money technically in RC 2….

[@RadiantClaire]

1: new camera angle goes hard, and 2: your argument on the pack price is fair, it’s more frustrating that they changed it, like yeah it’s a good set, but it’s just rough if you just want a quick cheap pack for fun, 4 of any other set is $20, while rarity is less packs to open per price, and i feel like the fun you said of the set is more on the fault of our rarity system, like if we had the OCG system which is what rarity collection does every pack would have a much higher chance of being fun

[@nicholass3892]

I received my RC2 from SassyTCG using your link. Although it was advertised at $110, the price was actually marked up to $115 to account for the 5% discount, which felt a bit misleading. However, I'm still happy with my purchase as the final price was fair.

[@cruzdoesstuff]

This seems like the rarity equivalent to blister packs 😂

[@Exodus1279]

The MSRP is obsured for these unless there is something you need in the set. Plus some of these cards have been reprinted in to obscurity. Plus those boosters you should have checked Target their boosters you get 2 for $5.99. Usually LOB and Spell Ruler.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

The prices for these are high, but the set is just so fun to open. I got 3 QCRs out of 4 packs at my local shop

[@ssimoclo]

They make it accessible to those who have less money available, so that's a good deal

[@nativeretrospective6931]

Set is great, cant wait for Infinite Forbidden.

[@jeffschmidt1551]

Yeah I mean these are expensive but the scenario that you had a tough day and just want to have some fun rarity collection is a better buy cause you will pull some cool rarity card.

[@WarrenOlsen5666]

Good deal, worth it, especially where I live, we don't have any shops or stores that sell cards,

[@DIRISANJI]

It’s kind of a hit or miss you. Make a great point about the feel good part of getting this set when you’re really looking for that shiny cardboard, but I do think a better price point would at least be 25 instead of 30 to go for the box though I thinknonetheless still love the video and will probably pick up one or two of these at Walmart lol

[@codygoodrich5195]

$10 packs are insane. The hype aint there for it. But the worse it the packaging. 3 packs just loose in the box is insane. I bought a couple and I already have corner dents in 4 of the cards, of 2 boxes. Why am I paying a premium to have worse packaging?

[@Ruxin34]

It feels like they are just getting worse when it comes to packaging😭

[@kekoretrogamewolf9847]

It would be cool to see you open a box of “the dueling genesis” just to see you pull a ghost rare stardust dragon live tho. That would be awesome. :3

[@K1ngofGames33]

Ruxin outing himself calling a shopping cart a “buggy”😂

[@DANCERcow]

Considering this is MSRP, should be expected. You can still find boxes all over online for $115-120.

[@willc92310]

I think the packs are worth it, but getting a booster box is definitely where the value is at

[@chriseakin5763]

If you've got $100 to spend, booster box is definitely better but if you don't want to spend that much, $30 will get ya a fun opening... hoping they come out with $10 single packs eventually to make it easier to stomach for a spur the moment purchase

[@tatecoughlin3367]

I love the update the platinum rares got!

[@AlwaysTheBackup]

I got one mainly bc i probably couldn't afford to buy a box and i rarely open packs anymore i thought it was the same ammount of packs as the last byt you do get 2 extra cards with 3 9 card packs and not 5 but still the 30$ price tag is pretty high but for me i get a bunch of holos which is the main thing i like is just arrwork on cards so this provides a variety

[@thatepicwizardguy]

This angle is way way better. Stick with it. Also facecam needs to be focused in a bit but otherwise good as always

[@Washere4ever]

i literally can’t find any of these boxes anywhere, I have to look them up online and ordering these boxes online come out to at least $75-$80 actually crazy

[@acar6989]

I feel like the price is fair enough. Yes, you don't get a "box discount", but it's basically the equivalent of buying the same number of booster packs. So, while not the BEST option, I think it's a fair price. Of course, this doesn't delve into the whole issue of how expensive the set itself is...

[@LifeofABoringRobot]

It's worth it in terms of those who buy singles and might want to gamble here and there but there's more value in the boxes!

[@kadrea96.66]

Loved the rc1, not that much the rc2...

[@brando6378]

Excited about the Whatnot stream!

[@brodykrafka]

Thanks for another great video and giveaway, Rux. I think $30 for that box is way too high. I would rather go for a booster box for better per-pack value.

[@connortreacy9425]

Walmart’s near me don’t seem to carry TCG products but I have a lot of locals in the area so that’s nice. Would rather go there anyways

[@diegomania20]

my favorite professional pack opener

[@terrorbyte7919]

I think I would still prefer to pick up a full booster box, but 30 bucks for 3 packs at least lines up with MSRP so it isn't a rip. If I'm in the area and have some spare cash on hand, I might pick up a mini box on impulse.

[@ElisChaos02]

This set has good cards, cards that can be used on the current meta and cards for the edison format, but im gonna agree that the set is very expensive, i got em here (EU - GR Box) for 160,00 which is the current cheapest price while most of the mainstream collectible/card game shops have the set around 200-240 euros per box..

[@insertcolorherehawk3761]

They’re fairly priced in terms of packs, but the lack of blisters is a shame
