99% of Quarter Century Bonanza [TCG]

No Light End Dragon ? Maybe a card edited twice, last in 2014, doesn’t deserve contrary to REBD BEWD and DM(G)…

Believe it or not, Yu-Gi-Oh!’s sealed product prices are actually cheaper than most TCGs. Even a full booster box doesn’t approach the triple digits, unless its one of these sets, and the other Rarity Collections. Every company selling a product wants money. And Konami will make their money on this set.

>”They aren’t selling to people who want to play older formats. They’re selling to classic fans with that kind of stuff for formats of which many of these cards are legal”

I don’t even know what point is being made here? Everyone knows GOAT and Edison aren’t actually Konami endorsed formats, but they’ve released cards for older formats before, banned in Advanced Format, because it actually does make them money. Okay, so they have their own Time Wizard formats. That does not change the reason for them releasing older cards.

>If we get Rush Duels fully in the TCG as a full variant(unlike Speed Duels which is partially TCG regular) later on, they’ll be a bit cheaper too than regular TCG boxes/etc.

How do you know this? My understanding is if they want Money, they’ll short print chase cards, and capitilize on Over RUSH rare stuff.

They only constantly release cards like that for their actual formats they endorse. Don’t kid yourself into thinking they care about those fan versions. And no excuse makes it true. Everybody knows they only make money because they’re trying to endorse their own formats.

If those formats didn’t exist for themselves, they wouldn’t even bother with these because it wouldn’t sell at all. These nostalgia reprints aren’t actually cheap to get due to the mass prices they put on Rarity collections(and even stuff that are terribly done like the latest Gold Series. At least the Rarity collections are somewhat justified in having a high price). If they were going for anything “legitimately cheap”, they’d actually be very quick and easy to grab commons. That’s what actual Structure Decks are for, and the reprints are only actually existing not for older formats, but for current popular decks they can easily get extra money off of. And those are still overprinted(somewhat ironically), so there’s a ton of decks nobody really wants anymore since there’s nothing to gain at that point. That’s why you see some old decks in stores that are always there. They don’t need to generally be restocked. They also can’t sell strictly on older formats(the ones they actually sanction. And no, your special tourneys don’t count. If they’re fan-made, Konami doesn’t care nor ever will) either, because they need new product to sell otherwise the game dies.

It’s again, not rocket science. These are for their own formats and always will be. It’s just deluding yourself if you think otherwise. The fact anybody latches on them for non-sanctioned tourney is purely icing on the cake for Konami, so it happens to work out. Besides that, keep in mind that even the big anniversary reprint sets are not cheap. They’re highly expensive even still. There is no real such thing as “quick and cheap reprints” anymore(besides Structures at most. And they can’t really do much with those beyond supporting an older archtype they want to beef up again since it’s popular in almost any of their formats. Iconicness runs wild).

And we did see the trademark for Rush Duel’s English stuff. In addition, it’s already in English in Duel Links, so yes, it’s already effectively part of the States. Just not as a paper product yet. We also know that Rush Duels’ anime has a dub as well. Of course they’re going to print them there. And yes, obviously they’re going to short print stuff. That’s a given.

(Also to reply to the above, Mementos are in the most current sets. They’re kind of easy to find and don’t need the reprint right now).

So you give us the God Cards instead of Air Neos. 4Shame.
