It’s a quaint idea and he put a ton of work into making it happen. I’m really curious to see how it circulates afterwards with people who aren’t in pokemon.
Now that we have a real thread about this, repeating what I said in the deleted ones:
Take any single day since 2004 and add up all the WOTC packs opened up worldwide by everyone. A cold Saturday in January 2022 broke that record for most WOTC packs opened in one single day worldwide. Almost 20 years after WOTC stopped production of Pokémon cards.
@eeveeteam, That is true! I didn’t know what to expect with that openings. But I like how they are doing different WOTC packs/sets at once, makes it interesting.
A lot more packs being opened than I realized. Stream has been going on for 5+ hours now… Props to all those handling the event and those still waiting in line lol
YESSS!!! that right there and more of a card shop set up with all types of product everywhere instead of a just a couple display cabinets and a handful of boosters on a slate wall.
Guess I had a picture in my head of going to toys r us or local card shops as a kid and was expecting something else. I guess without that expectation it was a fun event for most and delivered the nostalgia most wanted.
I’m thinking the majority of children buying packs in the 90’s may have never even set a foot into a card shop. You could purchase Pokemon packs almost anywhere back in it’s prime in, the photo above would likely resonate more with more people than a 90’s card shop would.
