​@Gohan Lopez the legal versions don't get played in tournaments anyways. There's hardly going to be many cards at all in this set that will be, it's for collectors.

[@TrianglePants]

But both companies are ass, and therein lies the problem. Fan simulators ftw.

[@itsmesteve1081]

No you don't. You just don't collect yugioh cards like some of us did. This collection has already been released 10+ years ago and they are just reusing the same cards as promos. Only the quarter century rare is a new thing. The worst part to me personally is that they reprinted the old cards in the booster packs using the modern border and holo foil art style. They also used the ugliest and most reprinted art of dark magician and blue eyes of all time. This is criminal for a "collection" like this. Almost nothing about this screams retro and collector to me FYI; the pull rates are HORRIBLE for these old packs. And they really kept it true to it. Almost nobody is pulling holo foil cards. Holo foil cards are the best ones.

Was really looking forward to these as I'm an absolute sucker for the old Duelist Kingdom/Battle City era of cards. I really wish they'd have reprinted the original Starter Deck holos for the standard promos, and make the 25th Anniversary Rares have alt arts to feel a little more special. Your pulls were motivation enough for buying one or two for nostalgia though!

I was thinking about purchasing this product because I collect Blue eyes, Red Eyes, Dark Magician and God cards but I seeing the low value of the quarter century cards I decided to buy all 6 cards separately. Cost me less than $60 instead of buying 6 or more mini boxes for $32 each.

[@Respawn2Much]

I have never bought a booster pack before. And the chance of getting 1-2 good cards for the cost of the pack scares me like most boosters. I need to look up the QCR costs. Could just get a Blue Eyes and Obelisk and might be more satisfied than pulling regular rare cards that I or anyone would never use in a duel.

[@SuperShadowKinTwitch]

As kids. We made a type of mana system to make lower level monsters useful. Basically, instead of tribute summoning, you got 4 star points per turn. So you could summon 2 level 2 monsters in one turn, or 4 level 1. Or save your points and summon a level 8 the following turn.

[@Bunsense_Gaming]

I think the goal of this is to target people who grew up with the first anime and haven't touched it all that much over the years. This box is what set me on a path to coming back to Yu-Gi-Oh! lol after like 15 years or so. I always wanted to have these illegal god cards even though I didn't play much, I just think that they're cool so this box was Perfect for me. Was really hyped and am happy to now have them :) My century rare is Obelisk. Would've preferred Ra, but ultimately happy with any one of them In the period of a couple of months when I preordered a 25th anniversary box I went from a person who only played back in the first anime + GX days to: - Having binged a Lot of Team APS (and I mean tens of hours a lot lol. Going through "Larry in the Hole" now. Rare Hunters was Epic) - Learning what sleeves are with Dragon Shield being a pretty good brand apparently - Learning XYZ, Syncro, Pendulum, Link mechanics - Played Many hours of Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution on my switch (made this pretty simple yet surprisingly effective Skull Servant deck lol) - Starting to play Master Duel (for fun, not competition :P), made a Ra deck with its new support which I think is really cool (Mega Ultra Chicken!) Thinking of hunting down the physical cards for this deck when I'm done tweaking with it - Hunting down the 3 tablet tins to make my tablet as a nice piece in a dedicated corner of my home which would also house my cards (fun fact, the pack which comes from the 2022 tin was the very first Yu-Gi-Oh! pack I have ever opened. In my childhood we only played with printed paper cards stuck to some cardboard as not only have we never seen a Yu-Gi-Oh! pack they were probably only available in dedicated toy stores but even then should've been pretty rare. Not that we could afford much of them anyway, that broke back then lol) - Ordering Slifer and Obelisk structure decks - Nagging my cousin to at least play some GOAT matches with me :D Sorry for the long comment :D

PGD or MFC would've been the best choice over DCR. Found out recently that in the past they have said these six sets are the six best selling sets of the era and I find that INCREDIBLY hard to believe considering how nothing DCR is while PGD has so much useful stuff and MFC has DMG. And yeah, even something like LON has a lot of main arc anime cards. I can't imagine anyone is obsessing over the Guardian cards or the worst Dark Magician fusion that, while admittedly pretty cool looking, is probably the worst Fusion as a whole in the entire era. DCR is the most literal filler pack I think has ever existed in trading cards in the sense that it is basically just all the cards no one really cares about from filler arcs of the anime while things like Eatos, the Kuriboh Brothers, and the Dragon Knight Fusions didn't appear for ages and others like the battle suit cards still don't exist. Also, that is the best Red-Eyes art. No idea why they ever print it in anything but that original JUMP promo art because it is the best one. In terms of the collection, if they were going to update the design anyway, what they should've done is update the packs to modern standards again like they did with them when getting a Rare and holo was possible. In other words, eliminate Rares from the sets and guarantee Supers. Specifically by increasing the rarity level of everything but Commons and Secrets to better match modern set layouts. Rare > Super Super > Ultra Ultra > Secret (keeping the original 2 Secrets as well) Then make all of the Secrets available as QCS Rares as well at a rate of 1+ guaranteed per collection box and 2+ guaranteed per box in the boxes later in the year. Would've been the ideal anniversary printing.

@@Adamame93 Target and Walmart go through MJ Holdings. They have to make a profit so they have to charge more than they purchased it for. Granted, they don't need to mark things up by sometimes something like 80% like they currently do but if you're buying them there they could never be MSRP unless Konami were to stop distro rights for MJ Holdings and work with the retail stores directly. Which I'm not even sure if it's possible because they are literally the retail trading card god company for North America. Retail stores might very well be locked in a contract to only sell such things via MJ Holdings. All trading cards you see in such places currently are only there because of them so it wouldn't surprise me if they've got an exclusivity clause in the contract.

[@RunicSigils]

The God Cards have a bunch of effects, many of which you can't properly replicate in a real life card game and could require multiple cards worth of text on one card. You can really argue more that printing them with their effects at all was the wrong thing to do since they not only shouldn't (for some semblance of balance) but couldn't print them properly. Obviously they did eventually do so but it was years after this. This is the original printing from 2005 and therefore what they use for celebrations.
