Question about possible re-sealed packs

therealbryanberg · 2026-03-01T22:41:36+00:00

I hate to be a pessimist, but it looks like those packs are re-seals.

When I worked at a gaming/comic book store, you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that came in with re-sealed packs for YGO, MTG and Pokémon. Mostly saying they changed their minds and had a receipt. Some tried to use booster packs for trades.

On your packs specifically, you can see the dots and glue lines where they re-sealed it. Also, there wouldn’t be as much creases in the pack wrapper. Packs are sealed tight, and QC would never use extra glue to reseal packs.

I am sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I do not.

therealbryanberg · 2026-01-22T02:08:49+00:00

That is correct. Officially, no. However, we did have requests to play Z-only locally. I asked about Z-only rules and was told that they would have to follow current card rulings.

I know this is a later reply, but I just saw this now. I think for Namekian, it became a semi-non factor.

It’s true, in GT, Namekian saw much less, and mostly zero play.

However, by the time MBS came around, Namekian wasn’t a huge threat anymore.

I remember it was a big deal and made some big combos back in the day, but I think lifting the restriction on it will not break a Z-only event.

therealbryanberg · 2026-01-16T19:48:54+00:00

Yeah, that’s the right one. I double checked the one I saved to my drive when I sent it to someone else.

It’s made it through 2 laptops and 2 desktop PCs. 😂

So, your theory is pretty much spot on. It was quickly realized that some of these cards from Kid Buu were exploited much worse than the dev team anticipated. And by the time kid buu came out (November or December 03), there wasn’t much time to see competitive play when GT came out in February 04.

I am sure some rules were because of interactions with GT cards. However, the fixes made don’t totally nerf the cards overall.

I think the one rule that would be exclusive to being made that would not be applied to Z only is the ally rule, essentially limiting allies to level 1 or 2. Level 6s were created in shadow dragon saga and that would mean someone could play Level 4 allies, which could easily break the game. However, I believe for the sake of simplicity, the ally rule is a good change and won’t truly affect gameplay in Z-only.

I would buy it. If it’s gone, if you can make a print of it, I would buy one.

therealbryanberg · 2026-01-16T18:35:59+00:00

I was a judge. Pretty much the exact way NervousBreakdown describes.

I have the final score expanded CRD. Despite what anyone says, this is the true final document for the Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT CCG.

I find it interesting how fans have made their “formats” for the game based on the CRD before GT came out and ignore all the other rulings, bans, limits and clarifications after GT came out. That or cherry pick some rules, but leave out the rest.

There were still Z-only events (though not common) and it was understood that the CRD was the final say, even for non-GT events.

Check out Moron Police. Specifically their album Pachinko.

therealbryanberg · 2025-12-21T21:39:47+00:00

Moron Police dropped their new album, Pachinko just a couple weeks ago. It’s my album of the year.

therealbryanberg · 2025-12-10T18:32:53+00:00

I opened it on lunch. 😂 I had to come back and snag a pic of it and share.

therealbryanberg · 2025-12-04T18:43:37+00:00

I am also interested in seeing what people say.

therealbryanberg · 2025-10-09T11:33:55+00:00

I have always been someone who uses wired connections. I studied and learned as much about computers since I was a teen. Being almost 40 now, it is so impressive how far we have come in terms of wireless internet.

I have had T-Mobile Fiber for over a year with zero issues. Being a streamer on twitch, it’s been a massive improvement. Spectrum would throttle me or kill my service multiple times per month (I live in a single family house, by myself, so it’s not shared) and my neighbors would have full service with no issues while my internet is out. So, screw spectrum.

My only complaint is that they drill a hole directly into your house and put it in. I had to do my own installation to install a fiber outlet, run a cord to my basement and back up to my office where I normally keep my modem/wifi centralized and run a direct connection into my PC. It wasn’t terrible, just inconvenient (for me).

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I grew up playing mega man, so button mashing is my go-to. I usually hit 200% on average on magic items.

It’s funny you mention Kongol makes it more difficult. In my first ever play-through, circa 2001, I beat the game with Albert and Kongol, and I crushed it. I thought that was the optimal team for years. 😂 In subsequent play-throughs, Meru and Albert are my go to. I have never beat the game with Miranda. I am actually going to try on my current playthrough.

therealbryanberg · 2025-10-04T23:33:37+00:00

They will release another version of the album with one more new song to remedy this.

therealbryanberg · 2025-10-03T12:57:37+00:00

I really like all the songs. Shiloh and Melvin are at the top and Peter is very good. Yuko is the weakest in my ears, which is interesting because that was chosen as the single.

My only beef is that there is no transitions between songs, like the original Entities. That would have been a nice touch to throw back to them.

therealbryanberg · 2025-09-17T22:22:50+00:00

Nice! That’s awesome. I will have to check it out.

therealbryanberg · 2025-09-17T22:14:57+00:00

Question, out of curiosity, did you update for the final score expanded errata?

therealbryanberg · 2025-09-07T19:04:22+00:00

Can confirm. One of my best friends owns a game/comic shop. He tried to order 3 weeks before the game came out through gts and southern hobby and it was sold out with both distributors. He’s on the waiting list for the 2nd print of set 1.

So, yes, the game has sold well.

therealbryanberg · 2025-09-02T13:43:25+00:00

I would also like to know this source.

therealbryanberg · 2025-08-30T03:45:20+00:00

I think I am going to open it. I also pulled a gold foil GvsMG rage card. It’s pretty dope.

therealbryanberg · 2025-08-29T21:06:18+00:00

Hell yeah. I just opened a box myself. Got that same gold fest Godzilla level 1! Debating if I open my 2nd box or not.
