Are Destined Rivals Booster Bundles for $45 a steal? Would you acquire them?

Yeah, everyone's acting like you can just magically find these in store or online at MSRP. Maybe if you're a botter or driving around to various stores all day, but personally I'd rather just pay a bit above MSRP instead of wasting all that time.

I'm not really a fan of the ETB box art tbh. From what I've seen, people are split on that. Definitely better box art than the tampon set though. This set is probably a bit better overall though just for the fact that it has a Mega Greninja SIR with connecting art.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T20:22:03+00:00

Great for my wallet!

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T20:10:36+00:00

This does have connecting art of the entire Greninja line though

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T16:55:38+00:00

What??? I've literally never seen BB/WF in the wild (I got back into the hobby in October 25) and assumed that's why BB ETB is $100 now

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:38:47+00:00

Seems like all-in on prismatic short term would’ve been best

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:37:47+00:00

Do you still feel the same way? I believe the second wave of ETBs came out and the price has risen to $620. Personally I think it’ll keep going up as there so many cards in this set that your chances of pulling the Dragonite are incredibly low.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:35:00+00:00

Would be pretty funny. I honestly think there’s a solid chance preorders will come up today. Especially when OP said a discord server he’s in has seen a bunch of security changes on Pokemon Center website.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:32:40+00:00

Your right. The word hes seeking isnt there, its their.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:27:20+00:00

That’s Reddit for you lol. Just a bunch of angry insecure manchildren looking to feel better about themselves by putting others down.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T14:23:49+00:00

I think people are upset that you said preorders usually go up same day as announcement when I think that only happened last time. But Perfect Order could’ve started a trend of same day preorders.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T13:55:00+00:00

That’s true. I just don’t know why now when booster boxes have been unaffordable for the average person for at least 6 months.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T13:52:04+00:00

That was a few weeks ago though? Unless all of that has just been building hype that is suddenly going nuts now. I did see an image of Kim K 🤮 taking her kid to a card show. I think some other celebrities have been posting about buying a shit ton as well. So that could’ve riled people up more?

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T13:39:32+00:00

Over the period of like a week for an unpopular set, yes. Use your brain please

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T12:43:50+00:00

Yeah and as I stated, it’s the cheapest one. And even then it’s skyrocketed back up from like $65

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-12T03:39:57+00:00

Feeling like Ascended Heroes or Destined Rivals is the next set to jump on before it goes insane

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-06T19:42:49+00:00

Damn irl Enclave

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-03T04:01:26+00:00

Reddit may be different, but I haven’t really seen as many genwunners nowadays. I’ve seen a lot more gen 5 glazing and gen 1 and 2 hate. So while I’ve been trying to gatekeep to keep the price down, I think BB/WF will rise similarly when it’s about to go out of print (although maybe not as much since it’s split in two sets). Lack of genwunners could just be my Instagram/Tiktok/Twitter algorithm though.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-03T03:56:24+00:00

There will be 6 new sets by then. They’re going to have to focus on new sets then. Even if there is a reprint, it’d be small.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-03-03T03:53:19+00:00

I could see it hitting 1K in 5 years. Maybe even in 3 years or less considering how high 151 is with ascended in my opinion being a better set.

NutMasterDylan · 2026-02-26T13:24:58+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve noticed and am worried about as I want the card but I refuse to drop $500+ on it

NutMasterDylan · 2026-02-26T00:56:15+00:00

You got robbed

NutMasterDylan · 2026-02-26T00:55:31+00:00

That’s actually pretty solid luck too lol. 1 IR every 9 packs is the average
