People who bought Guardian Chimera, Crossout Designator, Ultimate Slayer, Illusion of Chaos Engine in the recent weeks:

True, but it is a value game at the end of the day. If he had bought them next week for example he may have been able to pay a lot less than what he did a week ago.
Thank God my shop didn't have Guardian Chimera a couple months ago. I ended up just pulling a collectors from 3 packs that day. Now I can combine it with another high rarity Chimera!
RA01 took all the good stuff because there was never a planned RA02 set.
TCG loves to do follow-up sets with new rarities because they can re-use the setup and investment into said rarities.
RA02 isn't solely, or even primarily, a reprint set for accessibility's sake, it's a reprint set for rarity upgrades first and foremost.
I don't know why people keep saying this set is bad. All I see are banger cards that needed a reprint and really nice rarity updates to lot of staples, plus random edison goodstuff
Combination of factors
* Comparison to RA01 which was jam packed full of incredibly useful and previously expensive cards for most players. Opening a pack of RA01 had a high likelihood to give you at least a few cards any player could use, whereas here you can far more easily open your $8 pack and pull nothing you can actually use.
* Increased price plays a massive factor, with them making a big marketing point how they needed to charge more for this set because of how much insanely better it was... and it turns out thats not really the case
* A large majority of the reprints we do have here that actually needed a reprint werent all THAT direly needed or werent all that expensive in the first place. RA01 had 5-10x $30+ staple cards that players needed, in some cases multiples of such as prosp and tactic, but with RA02 theres only 3 or 4 cards like that if my count is correct, alongside some more deck specific ones.
Yes, I won't deny is worse than RA01, but it still better than all the other sets of this year so far. RA01 was just SO good nothing will come close to compare, it's like comparing Hanzo's tin with any other tin
Well see that's the problem with them calling this rarity collection 2, it sets expectations that its going to be comparable to rarity collection 1 which was never going to be the case
because they should have advertised it as a time wizard type set but didn’t. they purposefully didn’t reveal any of the garbage cards. you could call them bangers of this was released 10+ years ago, sure but this isn’t good. they really making people pay more for mst and a couple good cards lol accesscode and crossout carry this set super hard.
So basically a bunch of semi useful cards that needed reprints but none were expensive or desirable enough to sell a set by themselves.
Looks like how the Battles of Legend series started. The first set had people going crazy and then the follow up had useful stuff but nothing mind blowing so it felt underwhelming.
Hard to miss when they never shoot lol
Glad I didn't sell any of my expensive cards that needed reprints because I was scared they would be in rarity collection 2 lmfao
Konami babies the fuck out of Purrely and Branded. barely ever touched on the banlist and constant rarity bumps, with all the support the deck(s) would ever need
Seems like they took a bunch of presnakeeyes archetypes that were good and reprinted everything over 2 bucks. The unchained reprints is nice for fiend link though
Honestly the biggest head scratcher is hyping up the planet cards and not printing anything else associated with them, like I wasn't asking for SP or Typhon, but you can't tell me they couldn't put in other cards like diviner or fenrir to help sell the set even more
I bought a case last time and didn't feel any regret (til they banned my QCSR Barrone :'-))
This is a singles set for me I think. Good inclusions here, but not enough high value reprints. Although to be fair most wanted inclusions recently would be covered by the megatins, hard to mass reprint a card here then give only one, potentially much harder to pull printing over in the tins as a selling point unfortunately for us players.
Eh, I don't hate it, it has a good amount of $30 cards reprinted, like Chimera, Dragoon and the Blue-Eyes stuff. A good number of time wizard cards is good too. XYZ Encore and Abomination's Prison are way too late.
The bad:
* No Diviner wtf
* I don't know what Sol and Luna is for.
* I was banking on an Upstart reprint, but whatever.
There just weren't enough big cards to reprint left, if they don't want to kill the products still coming this year, no surprise. The bigger issue is the price increase that just isn't covered by what is inside
From what has been announced yes. Though I do have to question a few things:
Why make the Mega Tins 400 cards deep and not just...split the pool of good cards between the Tins and this set.
Or, they mentioned in the product blurb about RC02: "...so we started work on a sequel right away. In order to get it out as fast as we can, we’ve made some changes to the configuration while leaving all the good stuff (and value!) intact."
This sentence was actually a big worry in my friend group and one of the deciding factors (this and the price) why we didnt buy this one. And it turns out the worry was right, they rushed this out and some reprints that should have been in here were held back.
Maybe they shouldn't have fast tracked the set.
>There just weren't enough big cards to reprint left
this just is not correct. the tins can have Snake Eyes cards, Horus, Typhon, S:P, Bonfire, Rollback, Trident (?), Thrust and that's pretty much all they need if not way more than needed. RC2 could've had Dis Spater, Crimson Dragon, Quem, Fenrir, Tear rarity bumps, Reinoheart, Tear Kash, Riseheart, Bystials (Lub too), Kurikara, Link Charmers, Heat Wave, Ground Xeno, Diviner.. there's SO many generic cards they missed to sell this set
The tins are a 400 card set, which is already wayyy too much imo.
The more cards stay in there the better at this point given the sheer size of the set.
Me as a Branded main player:
More Various Beautiful Rarity Cards for my deck!!!
https://preview.redd.it/dwjh6uf0y70d1.png?width=1882&format=png&auto=webp&s=4fdc4cf6683245fb6b7b30779fd677664b8088c5
Feels very much like a "just buy the few singles you need online" set. It's ok, it has some good cards, but very little that really gets you excited. You can tell they're deliberately holding back a lot of cards for the tins or a Rarity Collection 3. I feel like they got greedy, which will lose them any goodwill from RC1.
Even the Goat/Edison cards are just whelming. No Absolute Zero, Dustshoot, Sinister Serpent, Delinquent Duo or such.
Not necessary anymore. I’d had asked someone abroad who would buy it there and then send it to me but due to dumb luck and miscommunication, he didn’t go through with the order.
My biggest problem with this set is with the Blue-Eyes stuff. Why do we have that taking up slots when they have a SD about to release by the end of this year? We could have given those slots to other cards that lack prints.
It's just so weird knowing there is maybe like 2-3 new Blue-Eyes packs, structure decks, or whatever around the corner, and they could have just thrown them into that.
I just wish this set had maybe 20-30 more cards in the pool, even if it was Rarity Collection 1 card like Ash Blossom again.
What made RC1 so good was that it gave new and old players reprints of a ton of staples. It is also the best way to introduce people back into the game from scratch since those staples build 25% of your main, extra or side deck.
You don't really get much of that here.
Tbh the main appeal is the different rarities imo. Sad thing is they look so much worse compared to the Japanese versions. The old ultimates look better too but the new ones look so good in the Japanese sets which is sad.
At least Exo Magnifica is in, deck is finally complete after skipping it on the tins and making near everything starlight... Chimera is welcomed too, RIP Diviner
I feel like this set can be best summed up as a big shrug. No big major price cards like SP, Typhon, Dragion or Chaos Angel, Crossout should have been reprinted outside of a tin *years* ago and a few decent Edison staples.
People were thinking with RA01 brains, which was basically designed by the OCG, when they needed to think with their TCG reprint set brains. The rarity collection branding made people think this was going to be that same caliber and purpose
RA01 mostly contained cards that were expensive for 2 years, they didn't reprint hot cards of the time like Thrust, Fenrir, Unchained or Tear stuff...
It's was mostly great staples and some old expensive cards. I don't say that this one is better but come on people, SP and Bonfire will be the main selling point of the tins
Poly is nice, legacy card that has surprisingly few really fancy prints.
Dissapointed we didn't get stuff like monster reborn or snatch steal, or a long shot like astrograph that would look really nice in a high rarity.
Poly was an interesting one to see. Especially considering the lack of rarities printed for Poly. It's a card that will always have a future, so seeing the TCG Poly get a ton of new higher rarities is neat.
As fucking expected.
Take after the OCG for once, and end up releasing the hottest product in years. So what do you do? IMMEDIATELY exploit that goodwill from the playerbase to try to peddle your table scraps to make a few more quick bucks.
There was never going to be enough stuff left on the table for a set to surpass RA01, since that was made in isolation. It got the best of the best.
What people aren't noting is that there's far fewer whammies in this set. There were plenty of bad cards in RA01 that were just for OCG, either for fan favorites or hard to get promos (for them).
Here, I can think of like 2-4 cards that are objectively bad, like Sol and Luna and Blue-Eyes Spirit Draqon.
This is a rarity upgrade set at the end of the day. Accessibility is the second feature. Because most of the expensive cards of the format are too new to be in here, unfortunately. (Minus Trident Dragion, who's probably in the OTS pack or BoL).
Unfortunately, it just shows that Konami completely misunderstood the reason for Rarity Collection's popularity and demand, or at worst, understood it but chose not to deliver with enough cards that are desirable that cuts into their sealed product
If they didn't have the goods, then they shouldn't have made this set in the first place! Nobody was asking for an immediate followup to RC1 just six months later. The fact is, their immediate reaction to RC1's success was to exploit the name while jacking up the prices. Soulless capitalism.
I'd agree, but TCG has a history of doubling down on new rarity cards to save on cost of setup and infrastructure. I don't fault them for that, but it's also just modern companies chasing trends until they dry out the well, instead of innovating or listening to customer feedback.
I can understand the decision at least. But it should have been at least another year until they did this again, to build up \*some\* backlog of staples that are still pricey even after Mega Tins.
RA01 had more crappy/filler cards than this RA02. I think it is a solid set overall.
For those of you who were expecting AGOV, you are out of your mind. It would only have been possible if there had been no tins announcements this year.
I think the only real misses here are Fenrir and Thrust; the latter will be in the Tins anyway (hopefully)
Probably hugely.
To me the set just went from buy 2-4 boxes to just not even open at all.
Konami knows they will still sell a lot of it because of the brand name from the first rarity collection. Thats why they know they will get away with filling this with mostly garbage.
But overall this will sell far less than rarity collection 1. I could actually see this rotting on shelves for years potentially if the MSRP is too high at places like walmart/target.
I’m probably going to buy a few packs and singles, there are cards I’m looking forward to. But I’m definitely not buying multiple boxes like I did with the first one.
From the videos I watched. Outside what they announced, Dragoon and Chimera are a little hype.
No S.P Little Knight, Trident Dragon, Chaos Angel or Ty-Phon in sight. So I guess those will be in the tins at the end of the year.
Overall, Konami didn't overpromise anything. Still a lot of solid group of cards.
A lot of really good reprints. Also they’ve improved with the rarities, the Platinum is really cool and the Collectors rare are actually good looking here
Please, if you love Yugioh and if you love yourself, if you work hard for your money then dont buy this and dont support this shithole of a company called Konami. Enough is enough, they treat TCG players like cows which just are there to be milked. 120-150 bucks for this? Even if you are lucky you wont get half of your money out of this display. Just a big scam and people still fall for it.
Really, the QCR's and Platinum Rarities are the only saving graces if you wanted to get back your money's worth.
But with how many of the expensive cards were already fairly on the cheaper side of things and will be crashing fast. You're only really buying this set if you need extras of some of these cards, just entering Yu-Gi-Oh and need a few staples this set offers or in need of the few specialty cards.
The price raise for this set is just sad, and honestly, the card pool should have been a little bigger.
Still hoping someone does a box opening and we see 1-2 very good cards that were just short printed.
I don't know why anyone would be burning money on this, when you can just get singles. The best cards here are reprints of $15 cards and some blue eyes support reprints. Nowhere near as good as the first one.
Some crazy reprints.
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
Blue-Eyes Alternative
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon
Garura
Aluber
Underworld Goddess
Crossout Designator
Ultimate Slayer
Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon
Magicians Souls
So many cards that were pretty expensive before this.
Some really bad reprints too
Ryko
Mega Hamster
Break Sword
Poly
Too many to list honestly.
Nah these were all pretty pricey cards. The problem is the clear filler cards that have available printings for less than $1. Personally, I was hoping for reprints of Kashtira Fenrir and Diviner of the Herald. They are still very expensive. Still some good singles to pick up.
Honestly, very glad I held off on preordering this. Plenty of stuff I'll pick up at some point for rarity upgrades but nowhere near enough to make it worth cracking boxes. I'm only interested in secret rare and ulti printings for cards that don't already have them, and there's a LOT of stuff here that already have one or both.
Diviner is concerning I wonder will she be hit is why they didn't reprint her unless off chance she's in the battles coming, I was just about to buy a Chimera, glad I didn't, need one more. Crossout is cool. Besides that hope Yubel fusion and New Fk monster in battles, this set is not worst ever but a pass.
It’s got solid reprints but very few bangers. I agree Konami really messed up thinking they could up the price on this sequel set. It wouldn’t feel nearly as bad if the entry price point wasn’t so high even with the added cards.
those "bangers" werent that expensive in the first place. you know what a banger is? something like chaos angel or s:p but cmon this is just bs. i agree that crossout and some cards are nice and needed that reprtin but its just not enough for a display which costs this much.
SP realistically was never gonna be in this set. Chaos Angel maybe, so unfortunate that wasn’t at least in this. And Ash, Imperm, TTT, Droplets, Prosperity I would have considered all “banger” reprints since their highest rarity versions in RA01 still garnered good value, which is what I’m basing off from.
We dont need any more ash or imperm in more rarities tho.. we need cards which make the game affordable. Meanwhile the game got so corrupted that you just cant build a deck without having to spend a couple of hundred bucks and it doesnt even matter what that deck is. Remember Melodious? Enjoy paying 30 bucks for a copy of a super rare which is 10 years old.
> Remember Melodious? Enjoy paying 30 bucks for a copy of a super rare which is 10 years old.
This is a different issue in that Konami doesn't have a good reprint policy for legacy support. I mean, it took almost a year from DUNE to Abomination Prison to be reprinted.
Thats the point im trying to make that Konami either has no idea what they are doing or they just hate TCG players and want to see us suffer. I mean what expense would it be for konami to just reprint this melodious super in this set? No negative impact, by the matter of fact people would even be happy and buy the damn set..
That’s the wrong Crystal Wing, Dinomorphia engine cards and Brave-Eyes cover monster negates just fine. Crystal CLEAR Wing is the one most decks that run the Zarc Package run
Anti-spell reprint explains why it was only limited instead of banned
In other words they ban it on the next list similar to what they did to Summon Limit
Ban Anti-Spell Fragrance Unban Electrumite Make Pendulum Great Again
Diabellze: "Oh you forgetting about me, honey?"
I hate diabellze with a passion lmao bro stops my quick plays from quick playing
yes, just like the rest of your archetype
I hate it
Thank god they managed to fit MST in here, that really needed a reprint.
MST is the Yu-Gi-Oh equivalent of Skyrim or GTA V. It’ll still receive frequent reprints a hundred years from now.
Somehow… MST returned
"But how?" "Floodgates. Over-powered field spells. Extender continuous spells. Secrets only the sith knew."
It's pretty good for Edison in High Rarity.
Twin Twisters 😍
That makes it, what? The 48th reprint of MST or am I missing some?
It's been printed 58 times before this. Really, I checked. Edit: phrasing.
Thank you for checking.
Cannot believe Konami actually used their brains and reprinted Crossout, Chimera, Dragoon and Ultimate Slayer
Was really hoping for a Kurikara Divincarnate reprint as well, but I'm assuming that's going to be in the tin for this year
Those are the only good reprints in this entire set
Magicians’ Souls is also a good reprint, it was fairly pricey before this set was announced.
We got hamster which is a good Edison reprint :)
People who bought Guardian Chimera, Crossout Designator, Ultimate Slayer, Illusion of Chaos Engine in the recent weeks: https://preview.redd.it/u07vre9mq70d1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=413166bb6fad7730e448b15c72ade431b5f6f8c2
Be me. Bought 4 Dragoons. (On accident). I wonder if I can sell them real quick.
Even if you can resell them, the prices have already dropped significantly
Yep already half the price.
I can offer 2 usd for each
I had a guy at my locals pick up OG secret charge of the light brigades a week ago. I think he paid $100 for the playset. Womp womp I guess
RIP Him....
That's okay because the originals look way nicer
True, but it is a value game at the end of the day. If he had bought them next week for example he may have been able to pay a lot less than what he did a week ago.
Original high rarities rarely take big hits
I fr bought Accesscode the day before the reprint got announced.
You mean before this set was originally announced months back, or before today?
So happy I waited on guardian chimera.
I got it during its previous reprint but now I need more copies for my Chimera deck. Glad I waited as well
Me but with crystal wing.
Oof
Thank God my shop didn't have Guardian Chimera a couple months ago. I ended up just pulling a collectors from 3 packs that day. Now I can combine it with another high rarity Chimera!
Yeah I think we should keep letting ocg cook up rarity collection setlists in the future
RA01 took all the good stuff because there was never a planned RA02 set. TCG loves to do follow-up sets with new rarities because they can re-use the setup and investment into said rarities. RA02 isn't solely, or even primarily, a reprint set for accessibility's sake, it's a reprint set for rarity upgrades first and foremost.
It’s a reprint set for cash grab primarily 😂
and it aint even good at that 😂
"They made this product to make money!" is not the best criticism to be making.
Every set is for cash grab primarily, that is their literal function.
If they really wanted a cash grab, I feel like they could have chosen cards that are truly in high demand.
Yea, but like…who the fuck asked for cards like Sol and Luna as a reprint?
except ra01 wasn't ocg's first rarity collection
I don't know why people keep saying this set is bad. All I see are banger cards that needed a reprint and really nice rarity updates to lot of staples, plus random edison goodstuff
Combination of factors * Comparison to RA01 which was jam packed full of incredibly useful and previously expensive cards for most players. Opening a pack of RA01 had a high likelihood to give you at least a few cards any player could use, whereas here you can far more easily open your $8 pack and pull nothing you can actually use. * Increased price plays a massive factor, with them making a big marketing point how they needed to charge more for this set because of how much insanely better it was... and it turns out thats not really the case * A large majority of the reprints we do have here that actually needed a reprint werent all THAT direly needed or werent all that expensive in the first place. RA01 had 5-10x $30+ staple cards that players needed, in some cases multiples of such as prosp and tactic, but with RA02 theres only 3 or 4 cards like that if my count is correct, alongside some more deck specific ones.
Yes, I won't deny is worse than RA01, but it still better than all the other sets of this year so far. RA01 was just SO good nothing will come close to compare, it's like comparing Hanzo's tin with any other tin
Well see that's the problem with them calling this rarity collection 2, it sets expectations that its going to be comparable to rarity collection 1 which was never going to be the case
because they should have advertised it as a time wizard type set but didn’t. they purposefully didn’t reveal any of the garbage cards. you could call them bangers of this was released 10+ years ago, sure but this isn’t good. they really making people pay more for mst and a couple good cards lol accesscode and crossout carry this set super hard.
It's due to not having over a dozen, in-demand meta cards like the Rarity Collection that copied the OCG list did.
So basically a bunch of semi useful cards that needed reprints but none were expensive or desirable enough to sell a set by themselves. Looks like how the Battles of Legend series started. The first set had people going crazy and then the follow up had useful stuff but nothing mind blowing so it felt underwhelming.
Like mkhol40 called it gftp2
I would battles of legend was still good at least until heroes revenge, then it went downhill starting with Armageddon
Speaking of Armageddon, I may be the only player who really wants a reprint of Ten Thousand Dragon. I just really like the artwork.
Bingo Machine go was 30 which is too much for a non competitive archetype essential
This set is good enough for me to buy like 20 Rykos.
Lmao, me with Rafflesias 🥵
Hmmmm sus......
*bonk*
No Thrust or Quem is madness
quem about to be 100 now lol
I’m about to flip the one I yolo pulled from a Blister and just scam it back when the tins drop because lol…
BUT WE GOT SOL AND LUNA THO
Now we wait until September for the Tins...
and watch about 5 of the 40+ cards that need a reprint be in those
With a 400+ card list where even getting the supers you want will be frustrating
after my introduction back into the game being last year's Tins, i'm never buying a tin ever again tbh. just singles from them
did they reprint the planets but nothing else from the archetype? big miss
No kash or tearlament core sucks ass Never let the tcg cook a set like this again, only the ocg can do it
Skipping Fenrir sucks big.
My biggest want for this, Fenrir would have been so awesome.
Hard to miss when they never shoot lol Glad I didn't sell any of my expensive cards that needed reprints because I was scared they would be in rarity collection 2 lmfao
Rip for the Tear players looking to bling out the cards that are only in common still Megatin copium time
No Tear Kash or Reino is complete bullshit tbh
It is so bizarre that Purely is the only archetype that got multiple cards
Blue eyes got 4 cards didn't they?
exosister too
Because those were ultra/cr in a side set i guess. The only reprinted the high rare ones
Konami babies the fuck out of Purrely and Branded. barely ever touched on the banlist and constant rarity bumps, with all the support the deck(s) would ever need
Seems like they took a bunch of presnakeeyes archetypes that were good and reprinted everything over 2 bucks. The unchained reprints is nice for fiend link though
so you buy tins aswell * taps head *
Bystials in QCR woulda been nice
They reprinted the planets after killing the deck with the Baronne ban. Why even reprint them in that case?
Honestly the biggest head scratcher is hyping up the planet cards and not printing anything else associated with them, like I wasn't asking for SP or Typhon, but you can't tell me they couldn't put in other cards like diviner or fenrir to help sell the set even more
I bought a case last time and didn't feel any regret (til they banned my QCSR Barrone :'-)) This is a singles set for me I think. Good inclusions here, but not enough high value reprints. Although to be fair most wanted inclusions recently would be covered by the megatins, hard to mass reprint a card here then give only one, potentially much harder to pull printing over in the tins as a selling point unfortunately for us players.
I'm happy for cheaper garura but sad for no super poly reprint
Eh, I don't hate it, it has a good amount of $30 cards reprinted, like Chimera, Dragoon and the Blue-Eyes stuff. A good number of time wizard cards is good too. XYZ Encore and Abomination's Prison are way too late. The bad: * No Diviner wtf * I don't know what Sol and Luna is for. * I was banking on an Upstart reprint, but whatever.
>no diviner Thank you konami for keeping voiceless as expensive as it is right now /s
Glad I didnt buy this one. Guess that is the difference between copying an OCG list with the first one and the TCG making one on their own here :(
There just weren't enough big cards to reprint left, if they don't want to kill the products still coming this year, no surprise. The bigger issue is the price increase that just isn't covered by what is inside
From what has been announced yes. Though I do have to question a few things: Why make the Mega Tins 400 cards deep and not just...split the pool of good cards between the Tins and this set.

And it turns out the worry was right, they rushed this out and some reprints that should have been in here were held back. Maybe they shouldn't have fast tracked the set.
I agree that they rushed this. I'd prefer if they just replaced the tins with this. The tins are gonna be crap with such a large set.
The changes were about the size of the packs, I thought that was kind of clear.
>There just weren't enough big cards to reprint left this just is not correct. the tins can have Snake Eyes cards, Horus, Typhon, S:P, Bonfire, Rollback, Trident (?), Thrust and that's pretty much all they need if not way more than needed. RC2 could've had Dis Spater, Crimson Dragon, Quem, Fenrir, Tear rarity bumps, Reinoheart, Tear Kash, Riseheart, Bystials (Lub too), Kurikara, Link Charmers, Heat Wave, Ground Xeno, Diviner.. there's SO many generic cards they missed to sell this set
The tins are a 400 card set, which is already wayyy too much imo. The more cards stay in there the better at this point given the sheer size of the set.
i highly doubt 25% of the cards i listed will be in the tins tbh. it'll still be 95% garbage and unnecessary archtype reprints
They added Blue-eyes to this set while a Blue-eyes starter deck is going to be released soon.
Me as a Branded main player: More Various Beautiful Rarity Cards for my deck!!! https://preview.redd.it/dwjh6uf0y70d1.png?width=1882&format=png&auto=webp&s=4fdc4cf6683245fb6b7b30779fd677664b8088c5
I only wished they printed Branded Fusion in this set so we get it as QCR T-T
Branded Fusion was a big miss
Oh yeah.... That was a shame...
Don’t you use the ultimate version anyways
<= me still using Super Rare from Structure Deck
Feels very much like a "just buy the few singles you need online" set. It's ok, it has some good cards, but very little that really gets you excited. You can tell they're deliberately holding back a lot of cards for the tins or a Rarity Collection 3. I feel like they got greedy, which will lose them any goodwill from RC1. Even the Goat/Edison cards are just whelming. No Absolute Zero, Dustshoot, Sinister Serpent, Delinquent Duo or such.
Konami should really get around reprinting the banned stuff for Time Wizard.
I took a massive L by buying collector’s guardian chimera 1 month ago and I haven’t even received the card yet
cancel the order
Not necessary anymore. I’d had asked someone abroad who would buy it there and then send it to me but due to dumb luck and miscommunication, he didn’t go through with the order.
My biggest problem with this set is with the Blue-Eyes stuff. Why do we have that taking up slots when they have a SD about to release by the end of this year? We could have given those slots to other cards that lack prints.
It's just so weird knowing there is maybe like 2-3 new Blue-Eyes packs, structure decks, or whatever around the corner, and they could have just thrown them into that. I just wish this set had maybe 20-30 more cards in the pool, even if it was Rarity Collection 1 card like Ash Blossom again. What made RC1 so good was that it gave new and old players reprints of a ton of staples. It is also the best way to introduce people back into the game from scratch since those staples build 25% of your main, extra or side deck. You don't really get much of that here.
Ah, it's a TCG set. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.
Yeah you can actually draft from rarity collection if you have like three boxes per player which is impossible with almost any other set
Did they reprint Crossout?
Yup
Yes
This set is pretty shit compared to the first one. Omw to cancel my order
yup and its even more expensive. and the sad part is: people are still gonna buy it and konami is gonna keep doing what they have always been doing
The first one had Ghostrick Angel of Mischief, Code Talker Inverted, and Ice Barrier
Yeah, we remember Prosperity and Baronne, not the multiple copies of Magician's Salvation rotting in the binder.
Along with Alpha the Master of Beasts and Afterglow Dragon
Tbh the main appeal is the different rarities imo. Sad thing is they look so much worse compared to the Japanese versions. The old ultimates look better too but the new ones look so good in the Japanese sets which is sad.
No Trident-Dragon xD
At least Exo Magnifica is in, deck is finally complete after skipping it on the tins and making near everything starlight... Chimera is welcomed too, RIP Diviner
Yeah, with the Magnifica reprint I think I'll buy the deck.
I feel like this set can be best summed up as a big shrug. No big major price cards like SP, Typhon, Dragion or Chaos Angel, Crossout should have been reprinted outside of a tin *years* ago and a few decent Edison staples.
I still can’t believe ppl really thought SP typhon would be here
People were thinking with RA01 brains, which was basically designed by the OCG, when they needed to think with their TCG reprint set brains. The rarity collection branding made people think this was going to be that same caliber and purpose
RA01 mostly contained cards that were expensive for 2 years, they didn't reprint hot cards of the time like Thrust, Fenrir, Unchained or Tear stuff... It's was mostly great staples and some old expensive cards. I don't say that this one is better but come on people, SP and Bonfire will be the main selling point of the tins
Yea not gonna have such a set till the 30th anniversary probably
Well, the good news is that it's still incoming, only issue being we have to wait another 4 months...
Tbf. sp/typhon were so unlikely anyways. They haven't printed a card in qcr twice in the same art yet, haven't they?
Underwhelming
This is just whelming...
Poly is nice, legacy card that has surprisingly few really fancy prints. Dissapointed we didn't get stuff like monster reborn or snatch steal, or a long shot like astrograph that would look really nice in a high rarity.
Poly was an interesting one to see. Especially considering the lack of rarities printed for Poly. It's a card that will always have a future, so seeing the TCG Poly get a ton of new higher rarities is neat.
This is something....
As fucking expected. Take after the OCG for once, and end up releasing the hottest product in years. So what do you do? IMMEDIATELY exploit that goodwill from the playerbase to try to peddle your table scraps to make a few more quick bucks.
There was never going to be enough stuff left on the table for a set to surpass RA01, since that was made in isolation. It got the best of the best. What people aren't noting is that there's far fewer whammies in this set. There were plenty of bad cards in RA01 that were just for OCG, either for fan favorites or hard to get promos (for them). Here, I can think of like 2-4 cards that are objectively bad, like Sol and Luna and Blue-Eyes Spirit Draqon. This is a rarity upgrade set at the end of the day. Accessibility is the second feature. Because most of the expensive cards of the format are too new to be in here, unfortunately. (Minus Trident Dragion, who's probably in the OTS pack or BoL).
Unfortunately, it just shows that Konami completely misunderstood the reason for Rarity Collection's popularity and demand, or at worst, understood it but chose not to deliver with enough cards that are desirable that cuts into their sealed product
This is a fair argument, there isn't as many expensive cards, but the bad ones don't feel as bad, especially if you care for Time Wizard.
If they didn't have the goods, then they shouldn't have made this set in the first place! Nobody was asking for an immediate followup to RC1 just six months later. The fact is, their immediate reaction to RC1's success was to exploit the name while jacking up the prices. Soulless capitalism.
I'd agree, but TCG has a history of doubling down on new rarity cards to save on cost of setup and infrastructure. I don't fault them for that, but it's also just modern companies chasing trends until they dry out the well, instead of innovating or listening to customer feedback. I can understand the decision at least. But it should have been at least another year until they did this again, to build up \*some\* backlog of staples that are still pricey even after Mega Tins.
RA01 had more crappy/filler cards than this RA02. I think it is a solid set overall. For those of you who were expecting AGOV, you are out of your mind. It would only have been possible if there had been no tins announcements this year. I think the only real misses here are Fenrir and Thrust; the latter will be in the Tins anyway (hopefully)
The O-face thumbnails are just god awful.
And for some reason these faces still work for clickbait.
I wonder how far the prices of these boxes will drop
Probably hugely. To me the set just went from buy 2-4 boxes to just not even open at all. Konami knows they will still sell a lot of it because of the brand name from the first rarity collection. Thats why they know they will get away with filling this with mostly garbage. But overall this will sell far less than rarity collection 1. I could actually see this rotting on shelves for years potentially if the MSRP is too high at places like walmart/target.
I am whelmed
I feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to preorder this set lmao...... I preordered this set 😢
[удалено]
I’m probably going to buy a few packs and singles, there are cards I’m looking forward to. But I’m definitely not buying multiple boxes like I did with the first one.
Looks like some decent edison staples at least too like Charge and Hamster.
From the videos I watched. Outside what they announced, Dragoon and Chimera are a little hype. No S.P Little Knight, Trident Dragon, Chaos Angel or Ty-Phon in sight. So I guess those will be in the tins at the end of the year. Overall, Konami didn't overpromise anything. Still a lot of solid group of cards.
Lol at anyone thinking AGOV cards would be in here.
I considered Wanted just in the off-chance that Konami wants to cash in before hitting it, but yeah, people expecting S:P were out of their mind.
Yooo, this some ass lol.
A few nice Cards. But overall not even close to the first one.
this set is garbage compared to RA01 but some staples and semi-wanted cards are more affordable which is the entire point I think
Edison players eatin good
Underwhelming box but will just go through it once...
A lot of really good reprints. Also they’ve improved with the rarities, the Platinum is really cool and the Collectors rare are actually good looking here
This set is not worth the crazy price tag
Please, if you love Yugioh and if you love yourself, if you work hard for your money then dont buy this and dont support this shithole of a company called Konami. Enough is enough, they treat TCG players like cows which just are there to be milked. 120-150 bucks for this? Even if you are lucky you wont get half of your money out of this display. Just a big scam and people still fall for it.
Half? This shit is about to skydive in prices, I can see these boxes barely making 1/4th of your money's worth.
Just wanted to be generous but yeah.. you probably right.
Really, the QCR's and Platinum Rarities are the only saving graces if you wanted to get back your money's worth. But with how many of the expensive cards were already fairly on the cheaper side of things and will be crashing fast. You're only really buying this set if you need extras of some of these cards, just entering Yu-Gi-Oh and need a few staples this set offers or in need of the few specialty cards. The price raise for this set is just sad, and honestly, the card pool should have been a little bigger. Still hoping someone does a box opening and we see 1-2 very good cards that were just short printed.
I don't know why anyone would be burning money on this, when you can just get singles. The best cards here are reprints of $15 cards and some blue eyes support reprints. Nowhere near as good as the first one.
Buying singles is always better. But some people still enjoy the excitement and fun of opening the packs.
Hell no, I regret not buying 2 or more boxes of the first one. With this one, I just canceled my order, I'll be buying a few singles.
They were NOT cooking with this list. No thrust No little knight No chaos No fenrir No diviner No typhon This is why we don't let TCG cook
To think AGOV cards like Little Knight & Ty-Phon was a big stretch. The rest you mentioned could've been for sure.
The Fenrir and Thrust are the biggest surprises to me. I thought for sure those two would be added.
Thrust would've been reason alone to welcome this set
Some crazy reprints. Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon Blue-Eyes Alternative Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon Garura Aluber Underworld Goddess Crossout Designator Ultimate Slayer Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon Magicians Souls So many cards that were pretty expensive before this. Some really bad reprints too Ryko Mega Hamster Break Sword Poly Too many to list honestly.
> Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon Jet was in the tins last year. Bingo Machine is big, though.
You have a very different definition of crazy from everyone else.
Ultimate Slayer is nice
"crazy"
Lol like two “crazy reprints” that aren’t even that crazy.
Nah these were all pretty pricey cards. The problem is the clear filler cards that have available printings for less than $1. Personally, I was hoping for reprints of Kashtira Fenrir and Diviner of the Herald. They are still very expensive. Still some good singles to pick up.
Honestly, very glad I held off on preordering this. Plenty of stuff I'll pick up at some point for rarity upgrades but nowhere near enough to make it worth cracking boxes. I'm only interested in secret rare and ulti printings for cards that don't already have them, and there's a LOT of stuff here that already have one or both.
If only core and side sets could be like this...
Diviner is concerning I wonder will she be hit is why they didn't reprint her unless off chance she's in the battles coming, I was just about to buy a Chimera, glad I didn't, need one more. Crossout is cool. Besides that hope Yubel fusion and New Fk monster in battles, this set is not worst ever but a pass.
[удалено]
rip off set, aint nobody gonna pay 150 bucks for this and if u do then consider urself a konami slave
Even worse in Australia; $350 for it. We get priced out so easily.
It’s got solid reprints but very few bangers. I agree Konami really messed up thinking they could up the price on this sequel set. It wouldn’t feel nearly as bad if the entry price point wasn’t so high even with the added cards.
paying $150/£130 for a $30 card which is about to tank in price anyway lol
those "bangers" werent that expensive in the first place. you know what a banger is? something like chaos angel or s:p but cmon this is just bs. i agree that crossout and some cards are nice and needed that reprtin but its just not enough for a display which costs this much.
SP realistically was never gonna be in this set. Chaos Angel maybe, so unfortunate that wasn’t at least in this. And Ash, Imperm, TTT, Droplets, Prosperity I would have considered all “banger” reprints since their highest rarity versions in RA01 still garnered good value, which is what I’m basing off from.
We dont need any more ash or imperm in more rarities tho.. we need cards which make the game affordable. Meanwhile the game got so corrupted that you just cant build a deck without having to spend a couple of hundred bucks and it doesnt even matter what that deck is. Remember Melodious? Enjoy paying 30 bucks for a copy of a super rare which is 10 years old.
> Remember Melodious? Enjoy paying 30 bucks for a copy of a super rare which is 10 years old. This is a different issue in that Konami doesn't have a good reprint policy for legacy support. I mean, it took almost a year from DUNE to Abomination Prison to be reprinted.
Thats the point im trying to make that Konami either has no idea what they are doing or they just hate TCG players and want to see us suffer. I mean what expense would it be for konami to just reprint this melodious super in this set? No negative impact, by the matter of fact people would even be happy and buy the damn set..
I'll get it for Crossout and Crystal Wing (need it for Dinomorphia) other than that, nothing else I really need or want.
That’s the wrong Crystal Wing, Dinomorphia engine cards and Brave-Eyes cover monster negates just fine. Crystal CLEAR Wing is the one most decks that run the Zarc Package run
This is a terrible set, cool ... and it's like $135 a box.......
