You got SUPER lucky! Crazy good pulls. I've opened 4 boxes and NONE of them even came close to being as good as these. Just a warning to those opening. Keep your expectations low and you'll be happy.
8 months since your video… I’ve purchased 3 vstar boxes for $60. Good call! I do see listings from $60-$110, and single packs all near $10. Might try my luck with climax but they are all listed for $110 and up
Love this set. Opened 3 booster boxes and got 3 golds. All different ones as well. Last box had the Arceus and SAR mewtwo. So much fun opening them up
I’ve only got to get 3 boxes and have only opened one… I enjoyed every minute opening it, it was so much fun. Will keep an eye out for more of the prices drop again. I got those 3 for about $75 each

Hey where do you purchase these Japanese boxes from?
Opened 2 boxes of this first box was already amazing and the second box was similar to yours. It had the Zeraora Vstar alt art + my girlfriend pulled that same Irida card! It was insane to open up!
I believe it’s pronounced ear-ah-duh. Since TPC always has to make a pun, they named her Irida because she is the leader of the Pearl Clan, and pearls are most often described as being iridescent. So I believe the pronunciation should be the same for Irida.
I mean suuuuper lucky pulls. There’s plenty of $10 SAR/SR but I agree Vstar is one of the best sets ever for sure 👌🔥
Amazing pulls! I opened 2 Vstar Universe booster boxes in the past and I wasn't as lucky. Got twice the same Hatterene SAR. If indeed there is a large reprint, I'll pick a few boxes to open them up and have a better experience (hopefully)
What a lucky box! Recently opened 2 boxes and basically nothing because my hits where on the low end of visuals and price spectrum...
yeah the high class sets are the ones I usually buy. They are always full of great cards.
Even though I already master set VSTAR Uni, I still find myself opening it a lot. It's literally the only Japanese set where I am left feeling really happy. When I purchase these boxes, my friends always tease me on why I am continuing to break these if I am not chasing for anything. The only excuse I give them is that it will be the only set that makes me feel good 🤣
Hey Jake, I was actually wondering if you are going to make another video about vstar universe in the near future and there you are you published it today :D what a coincidence
This set is what made me re discover the hobby jake, was ignorant how bad the JP market was back then even being new to japanese cards im happy i got when i did but am scared the next high class set will be a stupid price on release
DAMN, congrats on the Vstar Zard!
Sheeeessh so much heat from 1 box! Amazing set. 🤩
Would love to open another box of this set
I've only opened 1 box of this set so far(paid $200 for one at my LGS at the time) and it was indeed extremely fun to open. Pulls for days lol. I was able to pull the Melony and Glaceon Vstar SAR from mine. Will be getting another one soon. And you definitely made a decent profit on that box, I guess it makes up for that disaster of an opening last video lol!

great video! Love this set😍
Great pulls, Jake! Where would you recommend buying Japanese products from? I would like to buy Japanese singles, some booster packs and boxes! Would appreciate the help. Love the content!
that irida pull was insane 🎉
wow wow wow congratz!!
I have pulled the Irida in English, it's a pretty cool card
Congratulations Jake 😅🙏🏽
Having $120+ boxes in that shop link….crazy. Gotta earn that commission tho!
Congrats on the hits. Another trainer for your collection.
My favourite set ❤
Where do you recommend I could buy v star universe booster box jpn?
As far as i know, there was a reprint like 2 months ago so i really doubt it will be made again. I remember price dropped to like 80$ per box in that time
Ima have to pick me up some boxes
What are your thoughts about collecting Korean sets since they’re priced lower than Japanese?
What do you think about the Korean version? They also seem like great quality as well, just never bought Korean or Japanese boxes yet.
@TwicebakedJake

Korean is not as popular of a language to collect. But because of that the boxes are also way cheaper
I absolutely love this set! Lol
What do you think of the news in August there will be a big reprint of Vstar Universe?
great video!
I’m HODLing this
Where should I buy vstar universe booster boxes?
Is the reprint confirmed? Where did you find the new?
English version (Crown Zenith) should have gone with the gray borders. Imo they look cleaner.
You accidentally went past a radiant eternatus on the second pack
yep, there is a massive reprint coming for september i guess
What do you think is the reason behind the higher quality of Japanese products vs English? My assumption is that there are much more English cards being printed so they have to save on materials and overall quality but I'm not a seasoned collector at all.

Yeah, Japan is much more strict on quality. It's more of a difference in mindset. They have higher standards for perfection
What a box
Hey Jake! Can you please make a video showing us some of the trusted vendors on Buyee you do business with? Many of us want to buy Japanese products but are so skeptical. Maybe you could help us out and let us know who you trust.
Is there gonna be a reprint for these ?
Nice, never been one of the first to watch your videos!

Hey, I get you don't read all the comments and this isn't perfectly pokemon related but I've been watching your channel for a while now so trust your advice. What are your thoughts on the LIFE TRADING CARD GAME. Personally, I think it sounds really fascinating to get my foot in the door with the 1st. edition boxes especially since it all goes to charity. If you want to take a look online or just give some thoughts on the matter that would be awesome - take care.
Amazing pulls! These high class sets are so so so good!
The reprint was a rumor not confirmed.
Some artworks in this set are very similar to dark fantasma
You forgot the secret rare dark energy!
I‘m kinda sad tho. I have Vstar Universe Displays here and payed 120€, cause that’s the market value in Europe by trusted sellers. I saw the price climbing and thought it’s gonna be my last chance to pick these Booster Boxes up… I thought the Pokémon Company is busy printing 151 and Ruler of the Black Flames rn Don’t know if I should be happy or sad that Vstar Universe gets a reprint.

Where did you get the boxes for 80?
@TwicebakedJake
11 ай бұрын
Prices are going to vary. If there is a large reprint I think prices could go lower than $80. I would check ebay over the next few months
If only there was a way to get it for msrp. Registered for the lottery in Amazon and nothing :(
Why do you discard the back 2 cards without even showing????
Let’s just be honest everyone thinks they will rise in value like the previous sets so they are hoarding them and not opening them.
Lol you say "easy PSA 10's" but didn't even look at the back of the Charizard. Both of the VStar Uni boxes I opened had corner chips/white spots on the secret rares right out of the pack... I know that isn't every box, but I'm 0-2 on clean cards that were the top hit and that is a long way from "easy 10's on even an art rare card".
"It's a really fun set" Especially if you got an orange juice or milk into your box
i need a rayquaza Vstar
Normally I agree with everything you say Jake , but man my boxes sucked. 4 opened and every single hit and card was horribly off centered. Best hit was Cynthia SAR and Mewtwo SAR and both are awful centering along with the rest 😢
@TwicebakedJake

Wow, I'm surprised your centering was so bad on a Japanese high end set. Definitely unusual
ok this break was just isane.
Yea, Japanese is better than English in almost every way possible. Sometimes I’d rather pay double MSRP on JP than half on EN.
@maurice2014

In every way? "Stop the cap" Japanese has better print quality, holo patterns (subjective) and less over printing. Pull rates.... eh? They split set up into sub sets and give you less cards. So pull rates are inflated due to less cards in the booster boxes the seeded pull rates look crazier. I actually prefer Japanese sets, but better "in every way"? Let's not get hyperbolic.

Actually English is far better than Japanese. English cards are almost always worth more, except for the shady waifu overhyping going on in Japan.

I only crack English pokemon for the most part. I've tried japanese a bunch of times and it just doesn't hit the same. I really don't like the way the Japanese writing looks on the card it's just a huge eye soar for me.
V Star Universe. A lot of hits. Wow that’s incredible. Scarlet and Violet. A lot of hits. Wow that’s trash.
Spent around $90 dollars with 60 of it being in-store credit. In 1 week on single packs i got a Umbreon Vmax, Espeon Vmax alt art, Charizard ex, Mew vmax, Bolthund vmax, revavroom ex, houndoom ex, Poppy alt art, and a Serperior Vstar. I still can't believe it happened in a week.
Is it better to just collect and invest in Japanese? The price of vstar universe has not gone down. Crown zenith is really cheap.
Vstar and dream league used to be in every store out here in Japan until COVID 😢. Got lucky and pulled a load of Lillie’s though.

Because Japanese quality is supremely better than English, why do you think Japanese cards are worth more graded? If it’s so easy to get a Japanese card in a 10, shouldn’t it be worth less than English? If English cards are harder to find in perfect condition I would think those should be worth more
Really sad and disappointed with how the quality of English card that is made in USA is so much inferior to Japanese (made in Japan) or even traditional Chinese card (made in Taiwan). I would rather have English card to be made in China to have a better quality and centering.
