I really appreciate this type of pokemon content. Thanks again Jake!

[@joeliphone3]

The correct answer is: buy all of it 😂

[@Mashamazzi]

Yes but what do I buy multiple of to open packs lol

[@gymleadermarchello3940]

🤣😂

[@raymondschafferiii7146]

Exactly

[@joeliphone3]

@@Mashamazzi I haven't opened packs in such a long time, so I didn't even bother asking myself that LOL

[@Mashamazzi]

@@joeliphone3 so you don't even know what cards you got cause they're all sealed Probably better that way tbh

[@Frosty2014]

Thanks for doing the work for everyone, very appreciated!!

[@FruitInventor]

Thank you so much for this info! I am quite new to this hobby! 💖

[@adamking2589]

Tbh the best products I wanna get is a regular etb to open 1 of each bird tin and a special etb to keep in my collection

[@jton1]

Those legendary bird tins are so sick

[@hewhowatches5711]

I can see this set being a high demand set seeing as there are so many beautiful cards in it. I skipped the past two sets to save up for this one and will be going in on it. Hopefully everyone is able to get all the product they want for reasonable prices!

Likewise , it’s def gunna be a big set

[@JamesfromtheAlamoCity]

Jake, great info and presentation as always. I agree with your list. Hoping that because it's the last special SWSH set that they don't cut out alot of the cards from VSTAR universe. Some already are since they have the promos in the awesome tins. Thanks!

[@rebeccaly]

I’m so excited for this release! Thanks for this helpful video!

[@DI3G01904]

So glad my prices for these items are less in my area!! Thank you!

[@kevinabad6301]

I have learned so much about Pokemon TCGs because of you. Thanks Jake! 👌

[@I.cant.wait.]

Thank you for this! Can't wait for the set to come out.

[@SplinterAce]

Just ordered the Japanese Moltres from this set

[@Vonce_Collects]

I just preordered the standard ETB and both Regi boxes for $80. Thank you for your helpful info!

[@johnchan9392]

Thanks Jake! I understand why the mini-tins are sold out at two of my LCS, both the 5 and 10 packs. I normally don’t collect the mini-tins but maybe I should get a set for the CZ collection.

[@Pikachu-ez1rm]

I like those pin collections. Reminds me of the ones back in the day. I think I will be getting everything from this set. I mean you just have to haha

[@wavret9654]

I follow a Lot of poke creators around the globe, but you sir, you are the best one ❤️ really enjoy most of your videos ! Keep on going 💪

[@SolKnightt]

Dang, those Galarian bird tin promos look beautiful!

[@Z1GN1G420]

I needed this info. Thank you

[@Alpha-Motivation_]

Any improvements for my pack pulls ? I can edit but just seeing what engagement would be like one of my shorts hit 3k in one day which was crazy!

[@PokaDad54]

Great information! Thanks! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrispicklejuice]

Awesome video. I hope I can find some locally. Keep up the great work! =)

[@learntodrivenow]

The tins and trainer box is dope. I think the mini tins are an amazing deal and idk if I'm worried about the damage. I opened plenty and not too worried about it.

[@curiouscollectiblesAU]

Disagree with his statement about squashed boosters. The metal tins are designed to accomodate the contents far better than the plastic pokeballs albeit at a moderately cheaper price point. The corners of the crimps get folded at worst.

[@flare31777]

Hi Jake, I am a newbie to this hobby , which I mainly do to share the passion with my small sons, which is fun! I like your educational videosm they are great! I have a question, which pokemon card collect website you use? thx for an advice

[@dokezmon]

thanks for the new channel

[@taras18lv]

Hi Jake, can you give me some advice? I started a Pokemon collection with my little son some time ago, and I'm wondering if it's better to buy a few ETBs and keep them sealed for the future, or if it's better to buy each piece of Crown Zenith products . I would be very grateful for your advice.

[@jrzombeast6477]

This video really helps.. got my like. Sub. And bell turned on. Good stuff bro

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Thanks Jake!

[@vandermeerkaine9053]

That Munch Mimikyu in the background - Love it!

[@stefan7848]

is this set gona be on the same level on card prices as Evolving skies? I think a lot of cards looks nice

[@jamess7793]

Thanks for welcoming me to the hobby.

[@ronniegibson4688]

Great breakdown 🙌🙌

[@babypluto231]

I’ll definitely get an ETB and the bird tins then see where it goes from there!

[@PokeCollectorJ]

Never had issues with the mini tins myself, and the art is great. CZ is going to hurt the pocketbook.

[@scribbitb.4519]

great advice!!! If you don't want all the extras from an etb or tin you can always give away the extras to a thrift store

[@jules2785]

Great video as always Jake! If you could only choose completing one master set…crown zenith or vstar universe…which one would it be? I’m undecided 🙈I usually collect English sets but worried they won’t have all the amazing cards from vstar.

[@EL-em3mn]

If i could simply have one, it would be vstar universe. If i have to spend the money to build a master set, it's crown zenith. I don't see vstar universe dropping in price at or even near msrp any time soon. I can already get a case of CZ for $400.

[@1mew101]

That Deoxys card looks awesome I want that so bad

[@kimjanssens90]

Where did you get that trading card wall display?

[@user-ru5cm1tn8x]

You think the shiny zacian zamazenta product will go up in value years from now?

[@princenuko3896]

YES! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS :D

[@duskzer0816]

Will there be booster boxes?

[@jonathasplein549]

I LOVE that Morpeko V-Union. Defo gonna grab that hahaha

[@aussboss1]

In the description Jake, I think the price should be switched for the shiny zacian and zamazenta and the morpeko v union box :)

[@isaiahbemont933]

Love this!!!

[@flutternutter6780]

Any reason they don't have a 36 pack booster box? Or anybody know when the next new set that will have the full booster box?

[@SiamackSigari]

You helped a lot

[@REDOPTICALCORP]

But Morpeko is one of my favorites!! Keep up the good content dude!

[@WankZilla]

Jake with the mafths none of us want to do...Thank you!

[@jodo7814]

I got my figure collection for $45 each on preorder. They come in next month. So that’s actually $4 a pack for me! Compared to the etb now, it was a great buy.

[@gigiizzy5651]

The Morpeko V union comes with a playmat??? Didn't know that. Definitely my most hyped item from this set

[@KingMills1]

The Pokémon center exclusive ETBs are sold out 😢 will another wave come?

[@farmerkermit353]

Where are you buying the mini tins that are $9 everywhere i look they're like $15.

[@OnyxAsh]

Perfect. On a strict budget so this was perfect.

[@kgreene2613]

Very good video Jake. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@rainypooh7038]

Hi Jake. I just found your channel, my grandson wants to start collecting Pokemon cards so I'm going to start it for Christmas. I know NOTHING about Pokemon cards so thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge. Could you please tell me if the Lucario V & Tyranitar V Heavy Hitters Premium Collection containing 14 Pokemon TCG booster packs is a good set to purchase?

[@TwicebakedJake]

Yes I think they're on sale for $40 on black friday. Generally if you can get below $3 per pack for a box it's a great deal

[@rainypooh7038]

@@TwicebakedJake Thank you, where did you see it for black friday?

[@evo2500]

what was youre first job and how did you end up with so much valuable pokemon stuff?

[@XxCobraKlutchxX]

I have 2 hidden gem shops in my city that I love going to because they sell under MSRP. I’ve been picking up $25 5 pack tins for $20 no taxes 🤙

[@kevintjekevin]

What's the best product to buy of the first wave of products releasing 20 January?

[@QTtcg]

Only thing this video is missing is product release dates. I know CZ has a very long release window. Will some of the best deals be available on release date or have a later release ?

[@TwicebakedJake]

Release date is in the video description. You're correct in that they're release is spread from January to May

[@EL-em3mn]

If you need to open immediately well there is that but wait until March or April to get the real discounts. That's when LGSs have to start unloading this product to make purchases for the next set to follow. I bought a little something now but i will be looking for etb deals way later. The bird trio might be tricky. I don't know how to play that but that's most likely a hold steady also.

[@flipxsk8er2689]

Do you guys think it’s worth buying them at prerelease or wait it out ? I’m not sure if prices will drop like silver tempest.

[@FriedChicken73655]

Are you spending hundreds or thousands. I'm buying as much pre release as possible but I'm spending thousands and getting cases. It's probably going up quick and if there's a second run they're not going to prob this after that.

[@Krimson7735]

I can't skip on the Morpeko it's got marnie lolz I'm looking forward to this set so much though

[@raft6249]

With the Pikachu box I think it is a good box because you get two promo cards and a oversized. As well as it being crown zenith. I personally pulled Mewtwo vstar from that box. But like you said it is not the best deal for packs.

[@quincyq-radio6300]

Very cool 👍🏾

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

One things is for sure I definitely have my eyes set on that shiny Zacian and Zamazenta PC box. Would love to buy 4 just so I can open and keep sealed. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the scalpers are gonna have a field day with this set!🙄

[@bighousetube]

Plus tax of course which further inflates the price and if your are in Canada then yeah 15% extra. Great video and well presented!

[@stefansb]

Well no question about the Pikachu I have to get it for the master set of Pikachus

[@unluckyone7531]

Pokemon! Gotta buy em all!

[@LouisFordy]

I’m going to get the etb and all the Galarian bird tins

[@JulioHernandez-vi9to]

Already pre ordered my lucario etb

[@curiouscollectiblesAU]

Gotta collect ‘em all! But seriously my wallets, both physical and electronic, are hurting. 🤕 The standard ETB is fire though.

[@Pikachu-ez1rm]

Ikr Same here. Physically and Electronically. Even mentally haha

[@atc06jh]

Good info Jake. Thank you sir. I fear this set will take $500-1k from me over a few month's time.

[@EL-em3mn]

If you leave this product sealed is it really taking money away from you? This feels like hidden fates 2.0. Out of curiosity what products are you spending the bulk of that on? Personally, i ordered 4 PokeCenter etbs, i will probably do three cases of regular etbs once the price settles in March-April and lastly i need a few cases of the bird trio tins. I think this set will age very well.

[@CALIFLOWS]

Where do they sell ETBS for $40

[@tonyo4437]

Great stuff for those looking to rip packs.

[@amalija11]

Good to know which products have the most packs for the price, but I’d like to know what you think outside of that context!

[@hoennchampYT]

Littleroot town in the background 😄

[@hello-dt3pj]

What's the luckiest product of crown zenith?

[@worldsavior2543]

Im new to the type of products released what about booster boxes?

[@eltkev8452]

In australia one of those elite trainer boxes caost about 100😢

[@TheSocialSystem]

As a collector of Pikachu I’m pre ordering the 30$ set

[@thomascute121]

The problem with booster boxes and etbs and collections besides collecting is there pre packaged single blisters give you more room for profit even reducing the pack count versus boosters exc.....

[@dietpie6858]

me living in sweden and having to pay high prices for pokemon cards. I swear, the crown zentih etb will cost 70 dollars in our cheapest store. And the mini tin will cost 12 so the cheapest I'll get one pack is 6 dollars. Exept if I try to buy from the pokemon center ang get some etb plus boxes

[@oceansky6207]

Jake, you are the best!!!

[@asimpletaste685]

The plural for pack is pack confirmed

[@dgripper05]

Promo cards gonna be dirt cheap because it’s going to be so many of them, I’m going to get a case a ETBs and one from Pokémon center cause I love Lucario so I want the big box

[@david7800]

idk whether to get silver tempest for christmas or save my money for this in january, my wallet cant handle both😭

[@xxdjmocoxx6297]

🔥

[@EL-em3mn]

First don't pay more than $40 for your etb right now. If you can't find a better price than retail or even $45, you aren't trying very hard. Secondly, the three birds tins are monsters. Those promos are going to hold way more money than the etb promo. And right now you can get nearly two tins for the price of one etb. That's two alt art promos vs one vstar promo and equal quantity of packs. The caveat with the tins are, i believe they are a March product, so if you need your fix immediately, this is not your play. Lastly, definitely stay away from Morpeko. That price is robbery. Compare that to the recent radiant Eevee premium collection and you will understand the ripoff that morpeko is.

[@iMerkCODM]

ETB plus sealed & tins open🙂

[@cemfuku2807]

What about the Pikachu VMAX Special Collection?

[@TwicebakedJake]

It's on the list, pretty poor amount of booster packs but thats because it does have some great promos

[@Cataclysm322]

Jake is my favorite poketuber🔥🔥🔥

[@williamb3740]

"man, he sure likes that red flannel..." like i'm not also currently wearing my favorite red flannel

[@natural8677]

Just realised how expensive it is comparatively to collect here in the UK ;/

[@nycless]

Only the etb looks aesthetic imo

[@MisterStubstep]

A lot of the things you mentioned as not good, I want to get haha

[@TwicebakedJake]

It only matters if you want the most crown zenith packs. At the end of thwe day you should always pick up what you want most

[@marcos.3614]

My wallet hurt the moment I saw the Galarian V Moltres Tin.

[@Mashamazzi]

"$8 per booster pack which is a really bad deal" Me, in Australia: 👀

[@myronspokedex]

I’m gonna buy all of them lol 😂

[@thomascute121]

Single pack blisters from a good gamestop is better then etbs and booster boxes. Singles here and there you will get destroyed I put it to the test and it's a major.difference. if you think I'm blowing smoke like the comment and see if it's enough for a battle on this amazing channel

[@mattahmad4387]

The correct answer is the one which you want😊

[@kostonenkeli1999]

5 dollars per booster pack? that's like under 5 euros....and you say that is not a good deal. In Finland we pay 6,70€ for 1 booster pack (that is little over 7 dollars) So if I can buy booster pack with under 5€ I would be very happy. or other pokemon card products with there normal price...but it is what it is. we pay tax money for everything.
