 I have discovered the secret to Rich's new TCGs! What's up guys? We're back with another video. Today we're going to be discussing the new TCGs popping up everywhere. There's tons of them. I keep seeing a new TCG. It feels like every week. Specifically, we're going to be talking about Metazoo. You guys probably heard about this. Someone sent me a message about Metazoo a few months ago and they're like, you should check this out. And I was like, nah. I looked at it and I was like, I don't really like to look at this, to be honest. We'll get back. I'll talk more later. But I didn't actually really look into it. And the guy bought them for like cheap, he bought this stuff for cheap and now the cards and the boxes are going for like thousands, hundreds of dollars. It's crazy. There's so much money. And I'm like, what happened? I should have bought some. I also saw videos from Alpha Investments in SNPrat and I was like, wow. This thing is like, they're sending stuff out to them. You know, it's on eBay, it's going for a lot of money. So I need to look into this. What's the deal with this thing? The game supposedly is claiming to be a competitor with Pokemon. So there's also the flesh and blood game which came out. That's a competitor to Magic. So there's like, they're trying to go right at Pokemon and at Magic Yu-Gi-Oh. We don't need competitors because we're obviously the best, right? I haven't actually played the game and I, I don't know if I guess there's a game. It's a TCG. I mean, you got to be able to play it, right? So I haven't actually played that. But since they claim to be a competitor to Pokemon, I figure their goal isn't to be a very playable game because Pokemon, people do play it, but it's not nearly as popular as Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh when it comes to playing. I figured that their main goal is to be collectible and stuff like that. I just wanted to make this video because I saw that people are spending a couple thousand dollars on these boxes and it's a brand new game. So I just wanted to get some, get some things out there. So you guys have at least some idea of what you're kind of investing in the risks. I think there's a lot of risk investing at this price right now. Before I get into the rest of it, a disclaimer. Not every purchase you make has to be an investment. Obviously you guys see me do it all the time. I brought Magician's Force. I opened it. Obviously not a good investment, but I did it anyway. It's a fun thing. You know, people go out on Fridays to do whatever they do. They waste a lot of money. That's like a enjoyment entertainment purchase or a gamble. When you buy a lottery ticket, that's just a gamble. You're hoping maybe I'll get something big. I'm probably not going to get my money back. That's kind of the same thing with a lot of purchases. Maybe like opening Yu-Gi-Oh packs, box breaks, et cetera, stuff like that. So I'm not saying that because you buy Metazoo, you know, it's a stupid purchase, maybe you want to open them up, whatever. But I want to announce that before we get into the investment part of the video. When it comes to the big three in TCG, I call the big three Magic, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Those are the big three TCG games. They're all pretty popular. They're all pretty expensive. They have some expensive old stuff. Pokemon is probably at the top. Then you can argue of Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh is second or third, whatever. They're both pretty big. They both have really strong fan bases, et cetera. What do all of these have? What do they have that makes them so investable? They're so consistent at selling for high prices. You know, people love them to care about them. What do they have? What does Metazoo need to have to be like them? For Yu-Gi-Oh, it has a strong TV series. It's really old and has a great trading card game. Back in the day, we all watched the Yu-Gi-Oh show or we played the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. And that's why we're back here. We're either investing or collecting. We're making videos like me, stuff like that about Yu-Gi-Oh 20 years later. We're doing that because of those things like the show. We love the show. We love playing the game. We love the cards. We love all that stuff. Pokemon has a huge franchise, just a massive franchise. They're dominating everything right now. They're huge. They also have collectible cards that everybody had. They had a show, you know, it's all about the franchise. They had everything. So they have that huge backing. They have the huge hype around them. Big influencers are into it, et cetera, stuff like that. And magic is considered probably the greatest TCG of all time in terms of playability. People are still playing, they're playing old format, they're playing new format. There's all kinds of stuff that people love about magic. So that is kind of what's keeping that strong. There are some people like Alpha Investments who are big on the old cards. It is less of a collectible game, I would say, than Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon. I think there's, I feel like there's a less, there's a much smaller collector community in magic because they're more into actually playing with the cards. They will play with the old cards, literally. So there's less people grading them, I think, but still a pretty strong collectible community as well. So what does Medezoo have that all of those have? Does it have a show? No, it doesn't have that. Does it have a strong franchise? No, it doesn't have lots of hype. It does have hype, but are there big influencers into it? So Rudy made a video, Alpha Investments. He didn't really promote the game. He did, oh, I guess he technically promoted it, but he didn't say, I love this game. He said, let me know more about it. That's what he asked. So that didn't, that doesn't really count as I love this game. S&Prap made a video. He was skeptical about it. So that's the only two kind of people I've seen made videos. And then there's nobody like Crazy Big making a video like a huge influencer or something. So they don't really have that kind of hype. The only kind of hype is people are like, oh, TCG, I buy, I make money. TCG equals money, that's what they're thinking. Is that true? Is that gonna work? And of course, they don't have a playable TCG. If they're trying to be like Pokemon, Pokemon isn't that playable. It's somewhat playable. And people play it mostly, I'm guessing, because they love Pokemon, not because the game is incredible, the best game ever. This new game wants to be the Pokemon without the actual franchise of Pokemon. So to me, it's very sketchy. If you're gonna spin, I would not advise looking to make your money back on a $2,000 booster box or whatever they have. They have these $2,000 boxes. They have hundreds of dollar boxes. I don't think that's the best way to use your money. And now of course, I mentioned, you can do it for fun. And if you bought in early and you got them at 40 bucks, I told the guy who messaged me, I said, I think you should sell. You bought it, he said he bought it at 40 bucks and it's worth like two grand now or one, no, 1,000. Whatever he had was worth 1,000. I said, sell it now. You're over 20 extra money. I think you should sell it. He's like, yeah, but what if I missed on an extra profits? To 25 times profit, then even if it goes to 100 times, you can't be mad about that. You paid 40, sold it for 1,000. You gotta be happy about that. I think there's a better chance it comes down. You should buy it back. And he said, I just like to keep what I buy. And I was like, I respect that. It's totally cool. I think it's risky, but go for it. I mean, that's understandable. But my advice to you guys, if you guys bought in early, I would sell that Metazoo stuff. I don't wanna be the guy that says it's definitely gonna fail, but I do not feel strongly about it. I think flesh and blood has a better chance, in my opinion, because I've heard from magic players that it's a super good game, super strong. And if it's super strong and people like the game, then there's definitely a good chance people keep playing it. People keep buying the boxes, et cetera. But those prices are even crazier. They're at like four and five grand. So it's like, do you have to buy a four and five grand box to play it? It seems a little crazy to me. But there is a lot of people supporting that one. Metazoo, I don't know. I'm just gonna let you guys know, I don't think it's a good buy at 2,000 for a booster box, 1,000 for, you know, a smaller box or whatever, then the blisters or I think they have blisters. I don't know. I'll show you guys some of the prices on the screen, but it's way too much for me, I think. I don't think it has the backing to support such a high price early on because all the original strong big three TCGs, they didn't cost that much for years. They now do because of TCG hype and because of the nostalgia from 20 years ago that people that have not been in the game now have a ton of money, they're not buying into it. And the Metazoo is kind of like, okay, look, you come spend your money here, you can make a little bit of money. I don't think it's a good idea. That's my thoughts on it. Let me know in the comments what you guys think about the new TCG's Metazoo, Flesh and Blood. I think I saw another one, I don't remember what the name was and there's just a ton of them. So let me know what you guys think about them. Let me know if you guys bought in earlier, if you bought in late, what you think about it. If you bought in late, do you think it has potential? You bought in early, are you selling, are you holding, whatever. I'm interested to see what you guys think. I've seen a lot of content about it from a couple videos and stuff like that and people talking about it. I love the figure to be interesting video and that's it for this video. I'll see you guys later. Peace. I'm a Metal Hero, dark bright, boom! Boom!
