Am I the only one who thinks this is simply too much? The sheer amount of awesome artworks is completely overwhelming to me - which is a luxury problem, but still discourages me from even starting to look into the set.

Price wise it may not end up too bad. Shiny Star V had 140 super rares and I see a compelte set for $1780 OBO on eBay, probably a bit cheaper in Japan. The high hit rates and big print runs will help. $1780 is obviously still a huge amount for a set but it’s around the same as Eevee Heroes cost.

It won’t be too much if supply is healthy. But if supply sucks then it is going to be a massive pain.

Only disappointment is no black/orange/gold Charizard VMAX…I don’t even like Charizard that much but was hoping for a haha funny. There’s always next year!

Yes

My wallet cries at the prospect of diving into this set

kevinertia · 2021-12-02T16:23:05.000Z

Happy to see that day 1 shop prices are pretty low (relatively speaking). Availability seems much better than the last few sets.

firebirder31 · 2021-12-02T16:25:40.000Z

Seems you can get boxes around $85 or so average. Not too bad.

Remember when sets didn’t had 100 speciality rares?

I remember when sets had less than 100 cards period…

Ngl, the artworks on these cards are absolutely amazing, and I will love the result once all of them are in my binders. But I’m defintely not gonna like this set expenses-wise… This set alone will increase my Full Art Supporter (including Character Rares) collection by almost 50%, which is pretty ridiculous.

It does feel like it isn’t worth it to collect any of the other sets during the year and just wait for the holiday and special releases.

justinmew · 2021-12-02T22:36:29.000Z

I kinda prefer the gold cards from tag all stars, but overall this seems like a great set. I’ll be buying singles.

philip · 2021-12-02T23:18:41.000Z

Wait this set is called VMAX Climax. What if this set is the END OF VMAX CARDS?

Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that sets in 2021 would have more secret rares in 1 set than used to be in an entire set . It’s a little hard to believe even now lol

mrbubbles · 2021-12-03T12:17:03.000Z

This looks so great to look at. But indeed RIP wallets for those who collect FA cards. @quuador, I was reminded of you since you do collect FA supporter cards. Atleast most of the cards seem reasonably cheap on secondary market as of right now. Maybe prices drop further when more boxes get opened.

Cheers!
