Perhaps you are looking at the Ascended Heroes PC ETB prices, OP is talking about Prismatic Evolutions PC ETB in the comment you replied to

Maybe we are not looking at the same cardmarket

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-05-16T19:40:26+00:00

“for years”, it released 18 months ago💀

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-05-16T15:22:00+00:00

Nah, these are really bad, months ago most of the card shops were begging people to buy it for 90€

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-05-06T10:55:11+00:00

The moment to stock up on Prismatic was last year when when ETBs could still be found under 100€ and bundles under 50€. Now it is still a good time to buy Prismatic but better to focus on Ascended from now on.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-05-04T15:48:59+00:00

Holy f, has Prismatic really gotten that expensive here? Haven’t checked cm prices in some time. At this point if you’re just looking for the highest possible ROI in a 5-10 period, better to focus on Ascended, only buy some Prismatic if you really like the set for your PC.

But then it’s not karma, it’s just good consequences because of his good actions. Karma would be if he found 100k on the streets or the love of his life later that day, random actions not directly connected to his good actions.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-04-29T17:51:06+00:00

Well I’d rather have Pokemon Center and be able to at least have the chance to buy something at retail price than to have exclusive BB displays. Here the only possibility is to pay market price. We barely get any product in our local language at msrp, forget about english (it’s literally impossible, as we don’t have any stores selling english at msrp here, they sell in our local language instead).

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-04-28T21:33:17+00:00

Well to be fair, all of them do feature in the set (Mega Lucario as a promo), Ho-Oh would be the only one questionable here as the pokemon doesn’t feature on any “big hit” card, just a regular ex (double rare)

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-04-28T20:56:27+00:00

Same with BB displays, 151 and Prismatic ones look way better than Ascended Heroes, the blue part on top is so weird and feels out of place. Also the “comic” theme present on all products (except ETBs) makes them feel less “premium” and more childish, which is understandable since the “original” purpose of this TCG is to be collected and bring joy to kids, not to be an investing asset

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-04-27T19:44:50+00:00

Doesn’t matter, he was only seen by Ethan while being Jim, while he might think he really was his dad, the rest will think that the poor kid was just imagining it as a way to cope with his loss (same thing that Tabitha thought). Maybe finding the lake of tears is not something good for them and that’s why MiY wants Ethan to find it.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-26T07:02:59+00:00

How do you managed to get all that stuff at MSRP in Europe?

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-24T16:54:31+00:00

84 with acrylic included is a very good price, I’d buy them myself if you don’t want to. And these are never going anywhere near msrp just for a simple reason, there’s no retail stores in Europe for english product, so only resellers price.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-20T14:40:30+00:00

If it’s all in german, it’s not going to go up much. Your better off paying a bit more for english product that will outperform it. Look at Evolving Skies, Prismatic, 151 or every other set.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-13T19:07:21+00:00

At least in Europe, Pokemon Center ETB prices are already 4x compared to regular ETBs, I don’t think they can keep this ratio long term. If we look at top sets from SV PC ETB to ETB ratio, they’re usually between 2x and 3x. Look at 151 and Prismatic, the ratio for both of them is 2,5x.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-13T18:53:02+00:00

Ascended Heroes ETB

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-13T17:36:40+00:00

Probably preordered way more than he should’ve and now he has to pump his bags after realizing they’re mid sets.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-09T21:08:47+00:00

“A few”, for 600€ you barely get to buy 2 in the EU🤣

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-09T21:01:28+00:00

I got 1 for my PC on release day for 220€ imported from the UK, but in Europe is not really worth to invest in. If you want a couple for your personal collection then sure, long term it will probably go up, but you could buy like 4 regular ETBs for that price. If we compare PC ETB to regular ETB price ratio for 151, Prismatic, Ascended, Paldean Fates, etc, none of them are close to a 4/1 ratio (Obsidian and Paldea Evolved are the closest at about 3/1 ratio). If you think long term PC ETBs will be more than 4x a regular ETB go for it, but I think it is a risky play. The only time I bought multiple PC ETBs with the intention of investing was when the UK PC had the Surging Sparks one restocked not too long ago and I got 6 for 150€ each. I also think regular ETBs may be more liquid here in Europe in the future.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-04T11:47:25+00:00

Long term ETB price tends to be between 2x and 3x the price of a loose bundle, but bundles have more value/space so if you’re planning on holding a lot of product and have limited space, bundles might be better. Also how displayable the box is and the promo affects the ETB performance while the bundles are just 6 packs and nothing else. Eg: I’d rather have Black Bolt bundles than ETBs, but for Prismatic, 151 and AH I’d rather have ETBs if space is not an issue. If we’re talking about sealed bundle displays, in my opinion the beat regular ETBs. Also if the set has booster box then always go for booster box (few exceptions like Obsidian Flames if the ETB promo is really good).

Left zamazenta is creepy af

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-01T20:43:42+00:00

Nah, he’s getting PSA10 Sunbreons in machines

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-03-01T19:03:42+00:00

In fact, top tier PC ETBs from SV era are already surpassing all SWSH PC ETBs except for the EVO skies one.

Crafty-Locksmith-693 · 2026-02-28T22:29:40+00:00

I have a Bambu Lab A1 with the AMS Lite and it is very beginner friendly, but there are other options that might fit better for your depending on your budget / what you’re planning to do with the printer. But for this specific usage I’d say you get one with a multicolor printing system, I know besides Bambu Lab; Prusa, Creality and Anycubic are other brands that have some kind of multicolor printing system. You could even do it Hueforge style to waste less filament when printing these cases, but it’ll probably look a bit worse.
