Thinking about moving into Destined Rivals Booster Boxes. What are your take on it at the current price? Do you know if the recent reprint/recent in EU has already hit the market, or is it still coming? Currently, I can find some in around € 380. Anyone seen better deals at the moment?

Which sets are you focusing on right now? I've been buying a lot of Prismatic Evolutions booster bundles, but I'd like to diversify more. Are you guys going for Ascend Heroes? Destined Rivals? I already have quite a lot 151, and its getting too expensive for me now. I am now 2-3 years in and my timing was perfect for the hype :)

Maybe a hot take but atm i see allot of attention on the rotating sets like 151 sv 01 to 04 etc. Allot of focus on Prismatic and destined. With all the noice there I'mfocusing on another set I believe will be the *fusion strike* of the sv era. I'm talking about Surging Sparks. It has been restocked here in Europe and not hard to find. I've bought 10 bb for around 180/200 per box these last 40 days. I still believe Prismatic 151 and Destined will be the best sets for this era but im waiting for some better deals on destined. In the us the boxes are almost 300 dollars again Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I would like to share my thoughts and wanted to have a discussion about the current state of teh market. I’ve noticed it’s getting increasingly difficult to find good and affordable sealed products with real potential. The market has exploded in 2025 – products sell out quickly, prices are way above MSRP and even (small) reprints seem to make investment outcomes less predictable. That’s why I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what sealed Pokémon products are currently the best investment opportunities in this current market. This could be recent sets, upcoming releases, or more niche items like special ETBs, promo boxes, or Japanese sealed products. A few questions I’d love to discuss: - Which recent or upcoming sets do you still see growth potential in? - What’s your view on the risks of reprints? - Are Japanese products a better play right now? - Are there alternative sealed items (like pin collections, holiday sets, etc.) that might be flying under the radar? Personally, I’ve been looking at 151(ETBS, boosterbundles), Prismatic evolutions (ETBS and bundles), and possibly some older Sword & Shield sets that are still somewhat accessible(Fusion Strike, Lost Origin, Chilling Reign, Astral RAdiance, Silver Tempest or Brilliant Stars). But I’d love to hear your strategies and opinions! I think reprints wont hurt as they used to like lost origin and fusion strike in de Sword and Shield era. They will dip maybe 20% but at what pricepoint are you prepared to pay for a BB? For me its around 150 euro for a BB (Journey and and Destined Rivals (maybe 160) In my opinion Japanese are a good alternatieve in this kind of boom market but English will always be preferred when the market is down. So i dont have allot of japanese myself (i have VStar uni and 151 bb) Looking forward to the discussion! Edit 31-12-2025 Right now im trying to buy surging sparks and twilight mascarade bb for under 200 euro. Prismatic bundels for 50/60 ish. And any bb or etb at MSRP:)

Preferably, I would like to find a seller within Japan that will ship to my Japanese proxy address, and I would like to hear if you have any experiences with this or recommendations in terms of Japanese sellers. Anyone knowing a great place to buy? How do you get your VSTAR Universe BBs?
