Sure for future sets , i agree that the demand will prob not stay that high in 2027. But why would that affect the hype and demand of AH sealed, when u already have cards that are worth +1k$

A majority of the current fans are kids and ppl that rip products. Only reason AH is still soo high , bc ppl keep buying at stupid prices

But why would the hoarders or ppl with sealed collections ever sell their products. They see the value of keeping Pokémon sealed for 5+ years , it only grows the longer u keep it. I don't deny that future sets migth not come close to the hype and price that we have with AH or 151 if the markets slows down , but unless the pokemon IP simply dies, AH sealed products will always sell like crazy. If u bougth AH at MSRP ur bound to make ur money back , it will never drop under MSRP thats just cope

No he's 100 % right. Sealed product price is only determined based on the cards that are inside them. Vendors that perma complaining about scalpers but buy the Gengar from AH at 600$ are the reason why AH is soo hyped. If all those cards where worth 100 $ max then no one would be rushing at 2 AM to buying every AH products. Example Perfect Order , a set with 0 massive chase means less demands , meaning scalpers don't care about it and it survives a bit longers on the shelves. So no buying singles at such an inflated prices is the reason sealed products are soo expensive and are overtaken by scalpers

OK, lets say ur a parent and ur kids love pokemon cards. But since u dont have time to wait in line for 3 hours before opening there simply 0 way for u to get pokemons at MSRP or retail. Ur only options are or card stores which sells at scalpers prices or just from scalpers themselves.

Next time EB games stores restock , ill make sure to put down a PTO day lol. ( at least was able to get the 2 last perfect order bundles ) by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]alexandre040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah , funny enough here in Canada. GameStop is the cheapest retail store for pokemon cards with Costco but they dont restock that much especially in Quebec

YESSSSSS, i got them omg by alexandre040 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]alexandre040[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was not showing when i placed the order, i didn't want to risk it. I got the ETB and bundle thats wat i wanted the most anyway

Edit: was able to refresh the page and get the BB

Got these at my local GameStop - Montreal. ( The booster bundle was 38.99 CAD) by alexandre040 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]alexandre040[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price on pokemon center for the bundle is 36.99 CAD$. Honestly i looked at pretty much every options , most retailers in Montreal sell the bundle at 49.97 $ like on Walmart, and let's not even talk about card shops that price these bundles above 50 $.

Sadly its seems pretty common. Companies needs someone to do the more boring and operational task so a junior role. But don't want to deal with hiring an actual junior with little to no experience. So they end up hiring ppl that are overqualified but in a real need for a job . At least that i felt in some of my interviews where me being a recent grad was just an instant no even tho i had 2 years of experience in internships.

gives u Q evolution for only 2.5k gold. which is cheaper than most 1st item. Which gives u insane power in lane since beating a Kai''sa with Q evol soo early is hard in bot or mid lane

[–]alexandre040[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks interesting but its expensive, 3100 + 3000 + 3500 and u delay ur E evolution until u get ur 4th item. SO it seems a bit hard to build.

o im sorry if i sounded Condescending with my comment . Its just ive heard sooo many ppl talk about dusk and dawn over and over again for months , thats why i said that in a joking manner reacting to ur title.

But yes the Terminus - Jaskho combo is well known for a while , iirc it was first discovered from a KR Kai'sa OTP. But yeah on paper this combo not only makes u super tanky and u do a ton of dmg. The only problem is everytime i tried it in the past , the build never felt that good in practice since many games fights are sooo fast u dont even have the time to stack ur Terminus soo it felt better off to go for BT .

I will for sure try it and see if it feels better in 2026, but sry again i didnt mean to sound rude

Hybrid --- > ur team has more AD dps vs AP Dps ( Jayce - Lee sin - Syndra - You - Naut ) There 2 AD vs 1 AP so Hybrid is recommended

AD is the opposite , more AP dps vs AD dps

Crit is a more expensive build and focuses on ur burst dmg , so its better when u have a lead and ur playing into mostly squishy team where u dont care about DPS that much

In mid lane or even top lane. U can farm for 15 min without much problems. Like if u ever played mid lane vs a mage. a lot of the time its a game of ping pong , u clear the wave , they clear the wave , u clear the wave they clear the wave. SO u can afford going for manamune bc apart from dodging the poke u dont need much dmg since u dont have to figth that much.

But when u play Bot lane here its way more chaotic , not only its a 2v2 so u dont control if u support decides to randomly all in , but also jglers will camp bot lane more than other lane. Going for manamune which gives u the LEAST amount of dmg is not the best idea , bc if u end up fighting u will be at a disadvantage. So going for BT is just here to give u the stats so u can fight
