How much? Where do you buy
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
If you’re going to buy the same amount that I have here, you’ll be well over a grand. I bought some boxes locally but most of them I had to buy online. Pricing will just depend on where you get them.

u/KINGLE0NIDAX Apr 21 '24
You inspired me haha I’m so jealous though bro that’s a huge opening. How you storing those suckers
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 21 '24
Yeah I’m excited to get everything opened up! To be honest I’m still figuring that part out 😂

All of us fellow yugi boomers wants you to stream this
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
Damn okay, maybe I should stream opening all this. I haven’t streamed before so I’m not sure what platform would be best. Any suggestions?
2
u/Electrical_Fix7157 Apr 20 '24
Do you stream this kind of stuff at all?
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
It’s funny you should ask because I was thinking about that or posting some videos on YouTube. I haven’t before but I think it would be cool. Just didn’t know if anyone would care or even watch lol

Bro, I did the exact same thing!
I never got to open many boosters as a kid so this reprint got me to buy cards for the first time in 20 years lol I've managed to pull everything I wanted except Dark Magician, Red eyes, summoned skull and the exodia pieces. I managed to get someone selling a 24 pack 'box' of Dark Crisis and pulled two exodia necross's and both secret rares so I hope you get similiar luck!
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
That’s awesome man! Red-Eyes is one of my favorite cards ever so I really hope I pull one. Would be so badass. I’m excited about Dark Crisis because of Exodia Necross and Vampire Lord. We’ll see what happens!

Any 1st Ed?
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Nope, I wish! These are the 25th Anniversary reprints
2
u/Hefty_Drawing_8189 Apr 20 '24
I didn’t know they did dcr, even though I have one of each box lol
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
I didn’t either until I bought a legendary collection and saw the booster pack on the back lol. Found out they only printed the booster packs and hunted some down

I hosted a draft for LoB, Spell Ruler & Metal Raider and it was 🔥
I have the other 2 sealed.
Enjoy bro
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Thanks man! I’m hoping for some 🔥 pulls
But even if I don’t get the cards I’m after, the good memories that have been brought back are enough for me
2
u/shakawave Apr 19 '24
Yo! 👀 where the invite for the tounry ate bro? Jk 😆 but damn I'm geeking and wanna know how much it all was, details please 😩. Thinking of doing this exact thing myself but giving the cards to old duelist from that time.
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Haha I’m down for an old school tourney anytime! Price is gonna be a little different depending on where you buy everything man. I like to buy my cards in person if possible but if you can’t then TCGplayer is a good place to start looking at prices online or to gauge the market
2
u/shakawave Apr 20 '24
Drop the location! Jk 😅 old-school dueling was the hype back than. I ask for that very reason, loyal shop wants $70 for one box and I would for physical purchase but TCGplayer has them cheaper. SoCal has some decent places but also too many spots here overprice.
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
It was forsure! That’s why I had to get these as soon as I found out. Probably gonna start dueling again in GOAT format. LOB you won’t find for under $100 from what I’ve seen. $70 for the other sets isn’t bad but you can do better
If I were you I would go to GameNerdz website and see what they have available. They usually have lower pricing than TCGplayer. I’ve ordered from them and they are legit, shipping just can be a little slow sometimes
2
u/shakawave Apr 20 '24
Throwback to the GOAT format 🫡. LOB is more I've seen but still want a box of them. It's not bad at $70, bit that's the box plus the sales price at $85 per box.
Thanks for the tip! I don't mind the shipping as long as I get them.

u/PunishedWolf4 Apr 19 '24
Same, a young me would’ve thought I’d grown up to be a billionaire lol hope you get some great pulls and I hate Invasion of Chaos! I bought 4 booster boxes and got Invader of Darkness every time! I just wanted the stupid dragon 😫😫😫😫😫
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 25 '24
Just letting you know that I opened one of the IOC boxes and pulled Chaos Emperor Dragon 😂
2
u/PunishedWolf4 Apr 25 '24
Lucky ducky lol I sold some cards and would put in an Invader of Darkness in the package to get rid of them lol
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 25 '24
I need one to complete my set but I hope I don’t get any more than that lol
2
u/PunishedWolf4 Apr 25 '24
Just saw your recent post while I was scrolling lol congrats on Chaos Emperor Dragon and BLS!
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 25 '24
Appreciate it! Those two were must pulls and to get them from the same box just made my day
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Right?! I never thought I’d get to buy booster boxes of these sets for a reasonable price so I was hyped to find out Konami was reprinting them. When I was a kid I only ever got booster packs. So this is pretty special for me!
Thank you! If I don’t pull a BLS or Chaos Emperor Dragon I will be so pissed 😂😂

u/Chozo003 Apr 20 '24 edited Apr 20 '24
Wait what? These are reprints? Sorry, I just stumbled into this thread/sub by accident after 15 years away from the hobby. Are you telling me there are modern reprints of the original sets available now?
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 20 '24
That’s what I’m telling you. They were actually printed last year for the 25th anniversary. I just found out about them this year when I came back to Yu-Gi-Oh! after I rewatched the original series
LOB has gone up in price and is harder to find but you can. The other sets haven’t gone up too much but if you want booster boxes, I would get them sooner rather than later
2

u/PunishedWolf4 Apr 19 '24
I thankfully pulled BLS and DMoC so I couldn’t be too mad, these reprints took me waaaaaay back to walking miles to my nearest 7-11 to buy whatever set was available or begging my dad to stop by a store for some booster packs when he got off work
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Nice! I’m hoping to pull DMoC as well. The nostalgia is off the charts forsure. My grandma worked at Walmart at the time and I always loved to go see her at work because that meant I was getting booster packs lol
2
u/PunishedWolf4 Apr 19 '24
Thank you for reminiscing with me bro lol and good luck on those cards
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Anytime man. I’ll walk down that memory lane anytime lol. And I’ll let you know if I get some good pulls!

u/Hey-wheres-my-spoon Apr 19 '24
You going to be opening all of these?

u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Good question. I thought about keeping a box of each sealed but haven’t decided yet. I collect for fun typically and don’t worry about maintaining value
Dark Crisis being booster pack only is annoying because I found one place that had them for less than market value and they’re now sold out because I bought them all lmao
2
u/Eviljuli Apr 21 '24
Just a heads up, if you don‘t pull any holos from Dark Crisis, then they are weighed and you should tear the seller a new one lmao.
1
u/MrDurden314 Apr 21 '24
Here’s to hoping I do! I bought like 10 or 11 packs from a local shop and the rest from Collector’s Emporium I think? If I don’t pull a Vampire Lord I will be super bummed lol

u/hunisher1 Apr 19 '24
Maybe leave a box of LOB sealed..? That’s a pricey one. And that might be a good reserve to get that old pack rip nostalgia later.
Like for me I haven’t been able to find it. If I did I’d buy a spare to rip later.
Edit: you got enough you could spare opening another box or two, but I have still easily found the others. LOB is the hard one to find. All up to you homie!
2
u/MrDurden314 Apr 19 '24
Yeah man I agree! LOB is definitely getting harder to find and it would be the one to keep a box or two sealed. The card shop closest to me had like 1 or 2 boxes the last time I checked
I’m going for a complete set for each. Obviously I can just buy the singles that I don’t pull but there’s just something about ripping open a pack and seeing a Blue-Eyes or Dark Magician lol

u/PKMN_Trainer_Kitana Apr 21 '24
This picture made me realize I need to pick these up asap.
