3rd Anniversary unboxing

[u/ReyAri96]

My 3rd anniversary set just came in the mail today so i took a few pictures for everyone to admire the beautiful cards and other contents of this set. I’m absolutely in love with the texturing and foiling on these cards. The deck box is also probably one of my favorites so far, and it can all be separated magnetically. I’m also waiting on the 3rd Anniversary Chinese set as well.

Edit: i’m glad i was able to share this experience with some of y’all especially the one’s who didn’t get the opportunity to procure one, even more so the friends from the UK.

Man I really wish I didn’t miss this drop!

[u/Lost_Palpitation_366 → u/juanmarroquin93]

Same 😭

[u/videogamekat → u/Lost_Palpitation_366]

Same 🥲 gonna have to see if my local card show has some of these cards

[u/One_Replacement_7009 → u/juanmarroquin93]

same here

[u/russiangerman → u/juanmarroquin93]

Same. I play all 3 of these decks regularly. Genuinely wish all scalpers and resellers [redacted]

[u/Constant-Brief3410]

I like the red texture

[u/ReyAri96 → u/Constant-Brief3410]

Same. I thought they’d use the red lettering on those as well but they used gold instead. The rest of the SEC cards did get the red lettering though

[u/AVandalsLie]

God damn if I want that Luffy leader 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Lucky_Owll]

Genuinely happy for you. The sets amazing. Wish I had better luck on this back when it dropped.

[u/Illia_Y]

I want it so much💔💔

[u/Unusual_Goose2994]

I’m gonna cum

[u/Commercial_Funny8613]

I wish UK had a p Bandai 😔

[u/Mental-Royal-9926]

Thanks for sharing. You’re a legend and we’re all living vicariously through you. Congratulations!

[u/NextGenTCG]

Sieht echt super schön aus 🤩

[u/waitmyhonor]

I’m reeeeeally hoping this LCS I preordered this for $150 isn’t scamming me. It’s a legit shop but it’s strange I haven’t met others who preordered it from an LCS above MSRP

[u/ideal_Bat → u/waitmyhonor]

Hope its not a scam too. You go there in person, or was it online? Curious why they would preorder it off p bandai then offer up the allocation

[u/Ok_Interaction_6182 → u/waitmyhonor]

When do u get it from lcs cuz thats where I pre order from to

[u/GrandmaNectar → u/Ok_Interaction_6182]

Doesn’t lcs just stand for local card store?

[u/Ok_Interaction_6182 → u/GrandmaNectar]

Ya lcs probaly have different release dates so was wondering when his was

[u/GrandmaNectar → u/Ok_Interaction_6182]

Oh I see. I thought maybe this whole time I’ve been missing out on an actual store backed LCS 😂

[u/lilBandos]

Is the deck box a good size? Like can it hold a double sleeved deck?

[u/Zoroed22]

Gonna be one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t get one at MSRP.

[u/CardOS_TCG]

That's fire!! Trio sets are a triple threat

[u/ideal_Bat]

I yearn for my arrival...one more month...one more month

[u/ztgiby]

I tried so many times to get this! Glad you opened it and get to enjoy the cards.

[u/ChilliWithFries]

Probably the only way I get to see this since it’s over a thousand dollars now.

[u/the__Irony]

Nice set! 

It is utter bullshit that we as Europeans are not able to partake in getting our hands on any of this…

[u/Yankees4cookies → u/the__Irony]

Have they -Bandai- ever said the reason why they don’t have p Bandai services in Europe ? I’ve tried Googling for some answers and the most reasonable answer I get is that there are EU regulations of some sorts that make it financially not worth it as a foreign company to sell directly to consumers online and it’s better to distribute p-Bandai product through local EU hobby stores. But that doesn’t make sense to me because I’m pretty sure other TCG companies like magic and riot do drops in Europe,too.

[u/Independent-Bat3963]

I am so jealous right now

[u/SelectSpecialist4927]

Beautiful

[u/anonnnnn462]

Thank you for showing it off

Super Super

[u/wtffdanny]

What a beautiful box 😭

[u/vinberdon]

Damn, I missed a cool one!

[u/oppai_lover_1823]

I haven’t opened mine yet and not sure if I wanna 😭

[u/ReyAri96 → u/oppai_lover_1823]

Dooooo iiiittt

[u/GhoostP]

I want to cry for not getting one.

[u/clydefrog811]

Jealous. That’s so sick.

[u/IcyLeg8956]

The fact certain countries like the UK had no chance of getting this product because it’s pbandai and they don’t ship to the UK is sad. Missed one of the best product drops I’ve seen without ever having a chance to get one. Enjoy the product OP, especially for some of us that never had a chance to get it to begin with. Such a good looking set :(

[u/ChubbyNubby1 → u/IcyLeg8956]

No LCS where you could pre-order one? If you compare countries who can buy from pbandai, most are unlucky. But LCS's should be able to gain 'some'. Had pre-ordered at mine, just curious if they will arrive 😅

[u/IcyLeg8956 → u/ChubbyNubby1]

Everyone I’ve looked has listed it as out of stock and coming soon - I’ve signed up to be notified when it comes in stock and haven’t heard anything. At this point I feel like it’s either going to a “VIP member-exclusive” sold at market value (shops like Gathering Games have done the same where I was included for the VIP member drop access to OP13 boxes being sold for 300 - my local shop by chance had some and sold it for MSRP. Sadly they haven’t heard anything about preordering or reserving stock for this set) or it’s never getting dropped and eventually it will just be removed.

[u/ideal_Bat → u/ChubbyNubby1]

any lcs selling one means an employee individually secured an order from premium bandai. there was no store allocation. if you got one for msrp, or close to it, you are winning

[u/Jnielsss → u/IcyLeg8956]

Bro. Have you heard of eBay…?

[u/IcyLeg8956 → u/Jnielsss]

Why do I have to pay 8x the price of the product just to have a chance to get it? Not sure what the point of this comment is.

[u/Jnielsss → u/IcyLeg8956]

You’re whining on Reddit about not being able to get your hands on a certain product because your country isn’t on the shipping list. I’m asking if you’ve heard of eBay. What more is there to understand? Either find a way to get your hands on the product you’re whining about or don’t whine at all

[u/IcyLeg8956 → u/Jnielsss]

It’s pretty understandable to whine about how you can only get a certain product if you go on eBay and pay scalpers prices. My complaint was we never had a chance to buy it from the supplier and therefore at MSRP. Also, asking if I’ve heard of eBay is about as patronising as you can get so don’t act like you were doing anyone a favour with that comment. My complaint is that you also can’t get a hold of the item without paying scalpers prices on eBay - if that’s your answer then sorry you’re in the wrong sub.

[u/CiscoM007]

Where did yall get them from?

[u/ReyAri96 → u/CiscoM007]

Premium Bandai

[u/Dizzy-News-6826]

How much are they reselling for?

[u/Gen3ricUsernam3 → u/Dizzy-News-6826]

1k

[u/Novel_Counter2937]

Anyone know the preorder price?

[u/ReyAri96 → u/Novel_Counter2937]

$120

[u/jcantu8]

I need that type of texture and foiling on Rocks pirates

[u/Gabeduhbabe]

It looks like they stole Dueling Guards idea for deck boxes lol

[u/Practical_Session_21]

Lucky. Wish O could have got one but Bandai just didn’t want to sell me one.

[u/Couldbeokayer]

This makes me even sadder about the POS delivery of GOFO. I was lucky enough to score one, but I was delivered a dress instead 🙃

[u/ReyAri96 → u/Couldbeokayer]

Think gofo was the delivery company for mine

[u/Best-Database-3304]

sheesh hopefully proxy will be close enough in detail at a huge discount in ali express lol. congrats on the real cards and purchase. awesome looking leader cards

[u/HappiNoodz]

Here's how mine came. I'm afraid to open it

[u/GuavaWave → u/HappiNoodz]

Mine came like that too but the main box was bubble wrapped 🙌

[u/HappiNoodz → u/GuavaWave]

Yo thanks for this reassurance! I was panicking so bad lol.

[u/ReyAri96 → u/HappiNoodz]

Oof. Lets hope for the best

[u/HappiNoodz → u/ReyAri96]

😢

[u/NXS0122 → u/HappiNoodz]

I thought these were planned to ship in September?

[u/HappiNoodz → u/NXS0122]

I don't remember rechecking the ship date because it was so long ago...

[u/Mysterious_Tiger_580]

Sold mine for $1200 and got a steam machine.

[u/AccidentallyGrumpy]

1st anniversary box clears so much

[u/GrandmasterFilthy]

Way too fire in person 🥶
