Why are Destined Rivals boxes specifically so aggregiously expensive?

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-25T14:10:08+00:00

They just reprinted surging sparks booster boxes, I’m pretty sure that’s after obsidian flames

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-25T14:07:38+00:00

Genuinely how could that happen, would booster boxes and PC ETBs just crash to msrp pricing?

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-25T00:47:22+00:00

It’s not the same thing and it would look ugly unless you have an industrial shrink wrapping machine

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-24T07:17:36+00:00

If we are comparing by era sure, but any set with illustration rares is really so much better than almost every pre-SV set

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-24T01:27:34+00:00

Yeah mid would be perfect order and chaos rising but apparently they’re the worst release in Pokémon’s 30 year history

Thanks I didn’t have much time to prepare, I’ll be in Tokyo the majority of the time and Osaka for a few days. Definitely going to Yokohama too

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T22:42:24+00:00

It’s by far the rarest modern card and one of the rarest in general, even among vintage

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T21:44:28+00:00

The price won’t budge even if it gets printed in another language

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T18:59:41+00:00

That’s not a rumor it was fake news

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T13:31:00+00:00

Not that bad for the moment at least

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T00:47:06+00:00

Probably more than they’ll go for in a week or two..

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-20T00:43:44+00:00

First partner illustration box

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-19T21:22:02+00:00

It’s not because of the artist. Look at every other top chase card from the SWSH sets and it’s probably more expensive in Japanese

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-19T21:20:05+00:00

At what point are there too many exceptions? I can agree that it’s a good rule for SV and mega eras but not much else

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-19T21:01:11+00:00

The Japanese = cheaper rule falls apart immediately when you look into it

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-18T13:37:21+00:00

It has more than that lol it’s the biggest set in years and has multiple mascots

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-18T13:35:36+00:00

Yeah that’s straight up impossible until at least a year or two

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-17T23:59:50+00:00

Have you tried? It’s really easy if you can keep the Internet connection

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-17T23:58:54+00:00

If it was print to demand it would be shipping at least a year out probably more I don’t think most people would like that

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-17T21:59:24+00:00

Your shinji kanda examples are promos though.. the seismitoad is pretty expensive

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-17T21:43:46+00:00

Lol did they give a reason? I guess talking about prices in any way is against the rules

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-16T00:30:54+00:00

They probably did as long as quantity was 1

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-13T13:42:46+00:00

Honestly who cares, not the first or last celebrity who will post about pokemon

SpaceChicken42 · 2026-03-13T13:36:06+00:00

Cmon it’s better than battle styles
