i agree 100% i actually stopped opening etbs awhile ago and started just buying 8 single packs and these kits. 12 packs for a little over the price of the etbs and you can’t beat it
@@Mattculli absolutely! that’s even like the brilliant stars stadium kits are going for $50 and even evolving skies is under $100. i really feel like these kits are going to be a huge collectible to collectors and they might even overpower etbs
Speaking of print quality. I have noticed that the check lane blisters have quality issues. I've bought a few at a local store and the cards inside were actually glued together. Then, there's been times were the cards are just bent to hell inside the check lane blisters as well. Idk, I'm sure it happens but the amount of times I've seen it is just a little crazy. Atleast, there were no good or crazy hits inside them.
@@Mattculli I mean i bought them from a store and there was clear plastic over the pack. Its the packs you can see through with a coin and a promo card. They were glued or maybe even pressed together. It was pretty bad. I don't know that you could fake one of these bc they were hanging up in the store behind the counter.
@@Mattculli also, the alt arts have been evading me since after my good luck with evolving skies. I pulled 2 honchkrow alt arts from 2 packs on the same checklane blister display stand and since then I can't pull any alt arts. It seems hard to even pull textured trainer gallery cards.
I bought 4 of these for 160€ and the Euro is worth less than a pound so I think that is a pretty good deal. Usually I buy displays but I wanted to try something different this time
225 for a 6 pack case if you look around 37.50 a box these are the best value out way less popular than Elite trainer boxes & they're bulky distributors price them to move
These are pretty much $90 AUD here in Australia so buying 12 packs on their own is actually $18 cheaper at $6 a pack here. I am surprised though these stadium products aren't more popular then they are compared to etbs given the contents
@@Mattculli yeah Australia is expensive in general unfortunately. The more rural places aren't too bad though but yeah the cities are expensive for everything, kinda glad i dont live in one of the cities haha. But i guess at the same time our currency here is alot higher then other places. Yes more expensive but $1 in usa, England etc is worth more here so that helps a little bit i guess. Im counting down the days for the black friday sales though to get some pokemon bargains lol 😂
I feel bad for global fans these are 37.50 in the states cause they're huge & unpopular so distributors price them to move by the time they get to you they're 2x or more the price
@@alfredocamba1995 that would be like $57 AUD then for us but yeah still alot cheaper but yeah everything is always expensive in Australia haha and lots of stores mark products up even higher which is annoying. Just gotta try and hunt for the best deals
Can’t wait to buy one! Is it just me or do the packs with V cards all have hits in the trainer gallery? Pulled a TG03/TG30 Charizard from a single booster from GameStop last night!
Man let me tell you besides the fact I got ripped off on my pulls i ordered lost origin the elite trainer box +6 booster packs I didn’t get anything no Giratina no Charizard not even a slither of a full art I think I may be got a rainbow miss fortune sisters
ETBs have always been overpriced and overrated, I have NEVER understood the hype you literally just get 8 packs and you're paying way more for them than you would any other way so unless there's a really good promo card in the ETB it's just never, ever worth it.
I'm a big fan of the prerelease (build & battle) kits anyway, so these build & battle stadiums are always worth it for me! Regardless of pulls, the promos hold a decent amount of value, especially that Gengar! Great video as always!
I personally think chilling heart pain and battle styles are the hardest packs to pull from especially chilling heart pain I've only every pulled the alt art moltres and that was out of a celebrations etb sold the card for 80 pound. So it paid for my etb at 45 and I ended up with 35 for hard work lmao
@@Mattculli thats crazy, I feel like I got scammed but you won't find build and battle stadium cheaper than 60 over here. Its the regular price seen in pokemon center, gamestop, target, anywhere
He says "8 Boosters" in an ETB as if theres nothing else inside lol. If value for boosters is all youre looking for, just get a booster box. ETB has a lot of cool stuff, the checklist, the sleeves, coin, markers, dice, ect. B&B is a great product, but dont misrepresent the products in a comparison.
Not sure if you watched the video bud but I said aswell that a booster box is the best value for packs but not every can afford £110 so the next best value for packs is a stadium kit
@@Mattculli Yeah, I saw. But again, it's more about the misrepresentation of the ETB. If you're ONLY comparing booster value, then sure, but that's not what you get an ETB for
@@yusuf8938 And yet you seem to ignore the fact the Build and Battle Stadiums include all that, minus the checklist and sleeves, but including a load of energy cards for building decks and importantly two guaranteed special cards - one in each build and battle deck box (plus trainer cards etc). So unless you really want the checklist and sleeves, the Build and Battle Stadium is a better deal, also their pull rate is meant to be much better than ETBs. And those special cards are guaranteed
I got mine from magic mad house for 49 real bargin :-D but not only that it's nice to see someone who makes videos which the average joe could go out and buy themselves most channels are opening stupidly priced packs that moat people can't afford. Keep it up matt, but I will say where are the charmeleon noodles :-0
In Holland the prices are different in stores. For an etb you”ll pay 40 euros and for a stadium box it’s 79,95 euros. Online the prices differ. Thanks for this video!
These are the best value in the states at 37.50 from distributors they are big & bulky so you probably get screwed being so far down the distribution line chain you get all the fees of getting it to Holland
LOL some people can't afford to buy pokemon cards for $100 but they can afford it if they only spend $50? Bruh, stop kidding!! They might as well go the whole nine yards because you know they're not going to stop buying pokemom cards with oy 12 booster packs! Just full send for a whole booster box. You feel way better this way and waste less money. If you want to waste even less money then just buy singles 👍
Yes not everyone can afford a booster box that’s 100% true and this is another option However buying singles as you said is the best way by far to get what you want but it’s not as fun 🤪
I mean congrats on the pulls but I do love the fart sfx when you miss completely haha. Actually surprised with the build and battle. Didn’t realise they were so good value compared to ETBs! I’ve stopped buying them mate
*How many alt arts have you pulled from Lost Origin?*
Grab your Lost origin here evocards.co.uk/index.asp?section=SEALED
I have yet to pull an alt art in this set, but my sis got the alt rotom. We were both screaming. lol
Zero haven't opened any packs of the set yet
Been lucky enough to get 2 alt art Giratina's and the Pikachu VMAX trainer gallery! Luck has been on my side with this set, to say the least!
@@ladyjohto1529 Thats awesome well I hope you manage to get one too 😊
It makes me happy to see you treat regular holos with more respect than some channels who view them as trash.
dont get me wrong though I do wish pokemon would jaz up the holos a little more though but still happy when i get one 😊
Honestly I love a cool looking holo I like making mini binders of them especially
Just bought this box and not me opening mine and getting Gengar! Was such a cool moment!
i agree 100% i actually stopped opening etbs awhile ago and started just buying 8 single packs and these kits. 12 packs for a little over the price of the etbs and you can’t beat it
Yeah super good value and tbh in the UK those stadium kits really drop in value when they release as the set has been out a while
@@Mattculli absolutely! that’s even like the brilliant stars stadium kits are going for $50 and even evolving skies is under $100. i really feel like these kits are going to be a huge collectible to collectors and they might even overpower etbs
Good value for money AND a great way to play the TCG. Always but these with a mate and ply a few hours with the decks we build.
Yeah great point nice way to learn to play for sure!

managed to get mine for £37.99 which is great value. they were 64.99 rrp on launch of brilliant stars but it seems they have come way down now.
Mate that’s so cheap and very good value for money!
I got a secret rare mew and full art giratina in my first etb pack for years 😳
That’s crazy good luck!
Can’t wait to buy one! Is it just me or do the packs with V cards all have hits in the trainer gallery? Pulled a TG03/TG30 Charizard from a single booster from GameStop last night!

Damnnnn that’s brutal bud! Tbh the only sure fire way to get hits is a booster box but it is like £110!
@@Mattculli well yeah I understand in haven’t watched your video all the way through yet… did you get anything
ETBs have always been overpriced and overrated, I have NEVER understood the hype you literally just get 8 packs and you're paying way more for them than you would any other way so unless there's a really good promo card in the ETB it's just never, ever worth it.
I think the Build and Battle are great to get a proper look at new sets and to learn how to play 😁
Yeah man super good way to start playing!
I'm a big fan of the prerelease (build & battle) kits anyway, so these build & battle stadiums are always worth it for me! Regardless of pulls, the promos hold a decent amount of value, especially that Gengar! Great video as always!
why thank you kind sir 😜
Man, I love your videos. They bring a smile to my face everyday. Thanks
Thanks buddy that’s really nice to hear 😊
A 10 bundle box is wayyyy better !! You should take a look !! 40 pack for low price !! The pull rate is juste insane .
I personally think chilling heart pain and battle styles are the hardest packs to pull from especially chilling heart pain I've only every pulled the alt art moltres and that was out of a celebrations etb sold the card for 80 pound.

Chilling heart pain love that 😂
@@Mattculli it's what I got every time I opened a pack until I got the alt art moltres but you can have that one for free my mate lmao haha
That pikachu v is my me and my sons favorite card from the set
Wicked card that!
I got the gangar twice in a row
Really like build and battle boxes very good value for money and some cool stuff inside too
glad you agree I love these ❤
about to open two of these tomorrow morning for christmas!! cant wait!
Let's......................... rip into it
wait i know this guy mr 300k 😜❤
You talked me into I'll get one next week
😊❤ well they are great value for money so well worth a go
Just found this channel, and I am really glad I did
Aww mate thanks for saying that nice to read ❤️
What is going on it the UK? Over here I pay 40 usa dollars for a etb and 60 for a build and battle stadium
Not really sure! Stadium kits over here seemed to just always be well under RRP!
@@Mattculli thats crazy, I feel like I got scammed but you won't find build and battle stadium cheaper than 60 over here. Its the regular price seen in pokemon center, gamestop, target, anywhere
The advertisement for these say that there’s 2 pre built decks in there. I’m guessing that’s behind the promo?
Yes sorry I didn’t open them! The prebuilt half deck is hidden

Smyths it's 64quid !
Yeah that’s a rip off! Defo check our site or smaller store to they are much cheaper!
@@Mattculli will do. Thanks
Hi.
They cost me nothing from the shop 😂😂
Seems something funny might have happened 😂
Lol indeed it did
I mean congrats on the pulls but I do love the fart sfx when you miss completely haha.
Actually surprised with the build and battle. Didn’t realise they were so good value compared to ETBs! I’ve stopped buying them mate
haha mate i even laugh to myself editing it :P
I think the ETBs are still nice to just put on a shelf. Because the design is better than the build and battle boxes

I pulled a Rotom v alternate art and a Arceus v alternate art back to back yesterday first time I bought them too 🥹
