 Oh, I can't believe this happened. What's up guys? We're back with another video. This one's not as epic It's actually kind of a sad thing. This is some of the biggest news I've seen since I've been in Yu-Gi-Oh. You might have seen the title know what this video is about you I'm thinking is this that big of a deal? I think it is. I think this is a really big deal There's a picture going around the internet that shows that Walmart is no longer selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards Due to like danger to their employees and basically it's just too much of a hassle for it to be worth them selling cards So I don't know for a fact that this is like every Walmart in the United States or wherever But it's a little bit scary and we're gonna talk about why in this video So first we have to go back to the past year trading cards have gotten super popular not just Yu-Gi-Oh We've got sports. We got Pokemon absolutely massive in terms of value like resell value like sports cards are selling for crazy amounts Pokemon of record prices Yu-Gi-Oh has gone up as well people realize that even the newest sets when a new set comes out a great set like Hidden fates or shiny fates or ghosts from the past or the newest optic or prism set Basketball football, whatever people know that when they stock them at Walmart or Target The retail price is not gonna come close to the resale price So they can buy something for 10 bucks at Target's Paul you were 30 or 40 bucks online So once people realize that there's literally free money on the shelves They go out there and they make sure they get as much of it as possible So when the card stocker comes to Walmart, they put in you know 10 boxes of whatever the newest set is that one person has been waiting there for an hour buys all of it So there's been a lot of negativity toward these sort of people. However, you can't really fault someone they see Okay, I can make $300 on this if I just buy this, you know, I understand why they do it You know, it's it sucks because then other people can't get it. I understand why they do it So basically there were so many people doing this that Target, I think it was Target first. Maybe Walmart did it as well They made a rule it was like you can only buy one two or like three maybe three of like any trading card And what sucked about that is sports and Pokemon were the biggest about this If you were a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, you could only buy three packs of Yu-Gi-Oh But you don't care about Pokemon and sports that everybody else is there to buy So it kind of screwed over in like magic like I think a lot of magic stuff still sitting on the shelves So you couldn't even buy that stuff anymore because the other two were so popular. They did this and it didn't really help I heard that people went in line There was like 30 40 people waiting and you'd wait and you eventually get to you you'd be like number 30 You wouldn't get anything. So it was like they implemented that policy didn't really help anybody then Apparently even more problems happened because this sign popped up and now Walmart doesn't even want to sell them in general What does this mean? Let's talk about it in my opinion. This is very very bad. This is bad for Yu-Gi-Oh I'm not necessarily talking about the other TCG's, but Yu-Gi-Oh in particular for Yu-Gi-Oh in particular It's just bad because tons of people they get their packs So, you know, they go to work they had a long day like, you know, I'm gonna go to Walmart pick up some milk Whatever and they go by the card section. They grab them some cards. They open them up They have fun, you know pull something good. Maybe they sell it online. Maybe they keep it for their deck Maybe they went to their locals and their locals is out. Maybe they don't have a locals That's the main thing. There are tons of cities and towns in the United States and other places that don't have locals So if you don't have locals that stocks cards and targets not selling anymore Walmart's not selling anymore Nobody's selling anymore. There's no more cards for you unless you order them. You have to order them So that's kind of I mean that sucks that really sucks. Also, even if you do have a locals It's just, you know, what if your locals is out? You don't even have the option to go somewhere else and pick something up and now let's think about newer players So let's say you've been out of Yu-Gi-Oh for a long time. Let's take me for an example 2018 I was playing dueling. So I was getting back in Yu-Gi-Oh. I was like, well, this is fun I want to buy some cards guess where I went Walmart I went to Walmart. I picked up some cards. I opened them up. I duelist pack copy You guys have heard I pulled the ultimate rare chaos and murder dragon I was back like that because of those packs if that didn't happen I probably wasn't gonna go online and order packs. You know, I wasn't gonna be like Let's do some research figure out what packs I want. Some people might but I wasn't gonna do that The Walmart trips what got me back into it. I bought from Walmart for like a year straight just buying packs I wasn't doing anything else. I wasn't making videos. I wasn't dueling. I was buying at Walmart I was buying a target because there was no local store in my area I had to drive an hour to the closest local store, which I did eventually So that's just a huge issue the new players There's not gonna be anyone getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh from those easy to get packs and there's probably tons of people that do that Let me know in the comments right now if you came back based on buying packs from Walmart or Target or a retail store around you I'd be interested to see how many of you guys it is because if it's a lot and they quit selling them That's scary. That's really scary for Yu-Gi-Oh as a community and as a collectible if the current game starts dying The collectability starts dying and that's scary as well if you guys have spent you up very expensive cards They might become cheap again Just that convenience you have from the retail stores that extra option besides your local store or your only option if you're you know In the middle of nowhere or you just somewhere that they just don't have a local store I really hope that this isn't a nationwide thing and if it is I really hope they reconsider and Hopefully guys if you guys are doing crazy stuff like harassing employees or stuff. Please just don't do it I mean give give us a chance. Don't don't mess it up for everyone. I know it's probably not you guys Not Yu-Gi-Oh people doing it. You know, it's probably the sports people. We're gonna play in Pokemon It's definitely them definitely them not us. We're great. We're perfect. No, I'm just kidding But I am not kidding about like be respectful to everyone when you guys are going to those Walmart's and just everywhere Anywhere you go be respectful of course because it's just get along with people better. Everyone's has a happier time all that stuff I don't need to explain to you why that's better But I really wanted to talk about this topic because it actually worried me like I saw it and I was like Oh, no, that's not good and I was bummed because even though I can't normally get stuff in my local stores I was still bummed. I was like, there's not even potential anymore. You know, sometimes I'll go in there And I'm like, let's see if they got anything, you know, I did see some maximum gold the other day I wouldn't be able to see that anymore. You know, there's nothing so it may not seem like the worst thing ever But I'm pretty worried that it could become something bad for Yu-Gi-Oh in general and it's already sort of a niche You know a niche thing for people playing Yu-Gi-Oh collecting Yu-Gi-Oh all that stuff to become more popular recently It's worrisome. It's definitely worrisome. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video just a quick discussion video We're gonna be doing some crazy opening soon and this weekend We're gonna be opening the newest set a case on Saturday.
