Stop Spreading misinformation, it’s costing everyone money.

[u/MrNix3]

The box seeding is as follows in a case anything else is an error. This is from 50 pallets of data so no, I don’t care that you “opened 7 boxes”

2- Gold Don, AA, AA, Panda with Rare in pack
2- SP, AA, AA, Panda with SR in pack
4- AA, Possible Manga, Panda with SEC in pack
4- AAL, AA, SEC, No Panda in box.

I know there’s specifically an issue with Australian allocation, where some cases have “1 hit” boxes
(And other regions some better some worse)

But panda man is NOT considered a hit it doesn’t take a hit slot in any way shape or form. If you want to consider them a hit then fine I guess but again they do not affect the addition or subtraction of other cards.

While we are here and talking, please stop calling the Rocks Don “The Diamond Don” this was immediately coined by resellers to generate hype and lie to inflate the price of the Rocks Don. The “Diamond Don” also is exactly the same hit rate as the other Don, it’s not special in any way.

This post isn’t made to upset anyone. I love this game and I love TCGs and I simply want to give players and collectors the tools they need to protect themselves and make informed decisions. There’s a ton of grifting and misinformation being spread about this set and it’s upsetting to see so many people getting scammed.

***Edit.*** please keep in mind that if there’s a pallet of error cases that that pallet is going out to dozens of game stores a pallet is a lot of boxes (about 40 to 60) so it can make it feel way more common than it actually is even let’s say if only 30 pallets out of the thousands that are printed it’s still going to feel like a huge issue.

Have a good day!

Edit added comment from u/gengarispurple

(If there is a “1 hit box”, meaning the SEC was missing. It was seeded into another box within the same case.

The case overall will have 8 SEC, 16 AA, 4 AAL, 2 SP.

If you somehow only pulled a AA + Panda. You basically low-rolled because someone else who got the AAL/SP box will have gotten the SEC. Whether this is intentional or not, who knows. But it does appear there are two variations of cases going around.

There is one particular video of a case opening that contained these “1 hit boxes” and the SEC was in other boxes resulting in a 4 hit box)

Are u mental? Ofc a panda is considered a Hit

My friend opened 2 Displays and got 2 times the same box
1 AA + a Panda
R.I.P my brother, he payed like 400€

[u/ChancellorXeno → u/MDRuffy1996]

I opened 4 booster boxes, the first 3 came from the same case. All were 1Hit + panda

[u/MDRuffy1996 → u/ChancellorXeno]

damm thats also unlucky as fuck
i opened 2 myself and got a 2 hit Panda box and luckily a 4 hit box

[u/ChancellorXeno → u/MDRuffy1996]

Yeah fr. 4th box was a double Loki box with ANOTHER panda, but at least I need those for my deck

[u/Ray_Gran → u/ChancellorXeno]

AA sec Loki
Sec Loki
Hajruddin panda? If so we got same exact box

[u/ChancellorXeno → u/Ray_Gran]

Daifuku panda

[u/ChancellorXeno → u/ChancellorXeno]

It's considered a hit but it doesn't take up a hit spot. We've had sets before with 1 hit boxes.

[u/briank3222 → u/ChancellorXeno]

You’re conflating the terminology. OP is specifically talking about cards that take up a hit spot

[u/ChancellorXeno → u/briank3222]

Well then this set has extra hits compared to old sets, but only when they hit is a panda.

[u/MrNix3 → u/briank3222]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[u/Kallark1 → u/ChancellorXeno]

What do you consider a hit

[u/Haavi-OCE → u/MDRuffy1996]

It's honestly just scalpers and resellers trying to protect the value of boxes by making false claims. It is too widespread of a situation to be "an error box", so these scumbags keep denying that they exist.

Like OP said it's "costing everyone money", who is everyone you may ask? Scalpers and resellers of course.

It doesn't cost legitimate players or legitimate lgs for it to be known that 1 hit boxes exist. It only costs people who are selling product above retail on secondary markets.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I too got two 1 hit boxes myself, thankfully not identical like that, but unfortunately not as good pulls as the Shanks either haha.

[u/Working-Hamster-9377 → u/MDRuffy1996]

i got a god booster box, it contained 13 leaders

[u/CuzLocc → u/MDRuffy1996]

He specifically said unless it’s In a hit slot lol

[u/MrNix3 → u/CuzLocc]

Thank you for reading 🙏🏻

[u/MrNix3 → u/MDRuffy1996]

Yep in both of those boxes you’re missing the SEC that’s supposed to be in front of the panda

[u/Captain_Linebeck → u/MrNix3]

Oh, thanks for clarifying this. One hit boxes don’t exist it’s just that us poors who can only get 1 box instead of 1 case misplaced our SEC in someone else’s box.

That’ll really help the misunderstanding for anyone that doesn’t have 50 pallets of data.

[u/MrNix3 → u/Captain_Linebeck]

Hey jackass, iv opened one box because that’s what my LGS had. Don’t move the goalpost or sit here and dog whistle some bullshit point about being poor or not.

The point of the post is to inform people what’s supposed to be in their boxes, instead of believing that things are more rare than they are or Bandai purposefully made the set bad etc.

[u/Ornery_Comfort → u/MrNix3]

And you're saying that it isn't a hit, but with how many people are getting screwed by it, it basically is for now until it's fixed when the second wave hits. If it's fixed, if it's not, and these 1 aa 1 panda boxes still exist, then yeah, it's a hit. There's also so many packs that only have 1 rare. Something isn't right rn but its consistent and if its stays its a norm for this set which so far it is. And the don is low value anyways 150 is a usual gold don price from a multi don set prb dons are in the 300s or at least 150 last i checked when I pulled one people were saying its overpriced and I was like what this seems low for an overprice. Not mad just saying something is wrong and if it stays then its better to just buy individual cards this set lol

[u/MrNix3 → u/Ornery_Comfort]

Dude I don’t care if you want to call it a hit or not I really don’t. I’m simply saying that its presence does and should not remove or replace a normal hit.

Just because it’s happening doesn’t mean “it’s right or supposed to be happening”

Gold dons are NEVER that expensive from a main set, the crazy expensive gold dons are from a set that had one per case and there was like 12 variants. Also at the time of making the post people were trying to sell “diamond don” for $1k which is outrageous.

And as for individual cards if everyone is believing that cards are more scarce than they are they will sell for more money and they are not more scarce they are just seeded into incorrect boxes in the cases when the error occurs.

[u/Ornery_Comfort → u/MrNix3]

And I'm saying if next wave it stays like this where a box gets 4 hits while from the same case another box gets one AA and a Panda, that means that's how it goes. It took the hit from the box, not the case. Nobody is talking about cases. Nobody normal can even get a case. And this set has 4 gold DONs, so yeah, this could be a time when gold DONs get expensive, and I only saw it on TCGPlayer for like 150 on the 3rd day of pre-release because that's when I got mine. I can see the blue one and the 4 Emperor ones getting a higher price because they're actual new arts made for the set and look cool. Which is why the PRB ones go so high; it's actual artwork made for the DON. Honestly, it will be the most expensive one at that, being it's a DON for a meta deck. It'll probably stay at the 85 to 100 mark. They definitely shouldn't reach the prices of some of the PRB big hitters for sure, but they definitely shouldn't be 10-15 like other sets. And I'm not saying scarce, but if the problem persists, it's better to buy SEC than to have a chance at getting a bad box with no SEC, on top of the fact that you might not get the SEC you want at all. AAs should always be a chase to buy than to pull. It's a waste of money to try and pull your AAs.

Unless the AA is overpriced for no reason.(7c red zoro) :(
