Video summary

The video documents the creator's ongoing and financially draining quest to pull a specific "Mia" card from his latest Yu-Gi-Oh! set, Chaos Origins. To increase his odds of success, he opens an impressive 100 booster packs per episode, acknowledging that while this strategy is costly—having already gone nearly $500 into the negative—it provides him with better statistical chances than opening fewer boxes. Throughout the session, he pulls several extended full art cards and a few overframes, which help offset some costs but fall short of his ultimate goal since they are not Starlight rarity or the specific card he needs. He expresses frustration at missing out on high-value Starlights while noting that even with these partial successes, finding the elusive Mia remains incredibly difficult given its notoriously low pull ratios in this set. Beyond the main opening session, the creator takes time to update viewers on various channel developments and personal anecdotes. He discusses his transition from announcing giveaway winners via YouTube posts to hosting live draws on Whatnot, a platform that allows for faster distribution and international shipping accessibility. This change has significantly reduced the backlog of unclaimed prizes he previously accumulated over several months. Additionally, he shares stories about recent events, including a harrowing ride in an Uber through a tornado warning during his trip to Gen Con, which resulted in him giving one of the largest tips ever for that service. He also promotes upcoming appearances at Charlotte Collecticon and encourages viewers to check out his new sponsored video featuring cards from the Naruto series. As the pack openings conclude without finding the target Mia, the creator reflects on his broader collecting hobbies and future content plans. He reveals he is currently working toward completing every Pokémon game in a complete box condition for his collection background updates and mentions potential changes to his studio setup to display more of his growing library. Looking ahead, he teases exciting new projects such as opening Magnificent Monsters displays from Walmart and hopes for the return of Grand Master cards with high-grade ratings like 95 or better. Despite the financial loss incurred during this specific hunt, he maintains a positive outlook, promising that future episodes will continue until they finally secure their goal while keeping his audience entertained with new series and community giveaways.

Today the torture continues. Curse you Mia. >> What's up guys? We are back with another Battles of Legend opening. And if you missed the last one, I am doing 100 packs every single time I open for the Mia because we want to get to the end of this series. Now, if you don't know about extended full art ratios, the 100 isn't even that much. But if we do 100 every episode gives me a better chance. Now, just to show you guys the pure pain I'm going through, not just not being able to pull it, but financially, we're going to have a running counter, which right now we're at negative nearly $200 from the first episode. And you're going to see just how much money we go negative after our pulls trying to get Maju. Before we continue the video, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this Miracle Fertilizer structure deck. So, this is the uh Aisa deck, I believe, out of the modern decks, I think. So, just like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know down below. Will we get Mia in this episode? It can be ultra as well. I mean, that won't end the series, but it would be cool to get one. And a reminder as we're opening the first pack that I am doing the giveaway winners live on whatnot. So, whenever we do a Whatnot show, all of the week or two week, however long it's been since the last Whatnot show, all those giveaways are being selected live on whatnot. And I got to tell you guys, I did the first uh the first week on whatnot this past third Friday. I guess we did it on Friday. Normally, it's Thursday. Man, it was a great feeling because we ran the giveaways. Everybody hopped in. There were hundreds of people and then Oh, Chibi, very nice. And boom, I had I had a winner selected. I had a label. I've already like packaged them. It was so easy. It took seconds compared to the YouTube former YouTube way, which took much much longer. That is called a ultra rock and special where you put the hollow or the uh big hit right at the beginning. Luckily, it wasn't anything too crazy. So, I am liking this this so far. And and speaking of the older YouTube giveaways, I have announced all of those on the YouTube post tab. That will hopefully be the last time we have to do that, assuming this whatnot thing works out. Uh so go check out the post tab. There was about three and a half to four months of giveaway winners, which is ridiculously long. That is why I've switched up how the giveaways work because it's just taking me too long to announce them with the YouTube side of it. So I have not actually shipped all those YouTube winners yet, but reach out to me. I may or may not have answered yet by the time you guys see this. I'm trying to get all caught up with orders so that I can get all caught up with the giveaways. And once we're caught up with that, we'll never be behind again as long as we're with, you know, caught up on the whatnot stuff, which can get slightly behind, but one or two days compared to 4 months, I think, is a much much better timeline that everybody's going to enjoy. I'm not going to have it in the back of my mind all the time that I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I got to get those giveaways. Gotta get those posted. Oh, I don't have time. It's 1:00 am. I got I don't have time. I gotta do all this other stuff. Oh, I gotta get Yeah. You know, so I won't have to do that anymore, which is great. and everybody will get their giveaways more timely. And a good thing is I know some people are like, "Oh no, I I can't get them cuz whatnot, you know, whatnot is international shipping as well. I'm making them everybody." Uh so everybody can join as long as you have access to whatnot, which almost every country does. Uh unfortunately, I don't think a couple do, but most countries internationally, as long as it's not buyers appreciation, have access to these giveaways. So, it'll probably be just as close because before when I would get a winner from like some crazy place, it would be like extremely difficult to ship it there anyway. And it just was crazy. So, that was pretty rare. Actually, most of the time almost everybody was an easy shipment. We didn't have trouble getting there. It just took me a long time to get to it. So, uh that's just a reminder for you guys if you miss the first announcement about the giveaways. So, always keep an eye on the whatnot streams. Even if you're not there to necessarily buy anything, you've got all the free giveaways we do plus all the YouTube giveaways. So, you're probably going to have anywhere from 10 to 20 giveaways that you can enter completely free live on whatnot. So, it's definitely something you want to check out. And speaking of whatnot, we will be live again this week. Be live on Thursday. I think around 3 or 4. I have it at three right now, but it could be four. Uh I'm thinking about I haven't completely decided it might be a vintage opening. We haven't done a vintage opening actually in a while, which for our channel is pretty crazy because it used to be purely almost vintage openings. Not all vintage openings because that was not possible every single day. But it's been a while since we've done one. So, it is getting me a little I'm getting a little excited. Speaking of, I think we just got something. Why do I feel like I'm not uh focused? Let me see if I can get a little more focused in. Sometimes it's hard because I got to lean forward and I'm focused. Then I lean back a little bit. I'm not focused. And uh now my eyes are like this. We'll get this pack eventually. Okay, here we go. Aeticism. Come on, Mia. Come on, Mia. Yeah, this will at least help with the money hopefully. Chaos Angel. That is a very good ultra overframe. If you're going to get an ultra overframe, this is a banger. So, that is really going to help. Now, I think our total cost is nearly like 400. I don't think it's 400. It's 300 and something. No, no, it's like 30 around 300, I think, for the four boxes plus the four packs. So, that's going to help a lot. Obviously, it's not going to pay off $300. It's almost impossible for us to do that unless we get Starlite overframe like the good ones. Mia is worth four times $300 though, at least last I checked. So, it is very expensive. We definitely want some Starlight rares. And there's a lot of Starlight rares that I actually still want in here. So, I would be glad to pull a lot of them. Uh yeah. So, yeah. By the way, if you guys have not been with the channel maybe the last week, there's been a bunch of new stuff. We've got a brand new series that started depending on when I post this. This is either Tuesday or Thursday depending on when I post the Naruto video. Uh so it was either yesterday or on Monday, same day, but yesterday if this was Tuesday, uh the uh the scheduling I'm doing my best, but sometimes it is hard to do, especially with like sponsored stuff, which the Naruto video. If it's out, go check it out. If it's not out, please check it out. It is a sponsored video. I know it's not Yu-Gi-Oh, but it is something cool that I got to do. And it was very uh Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh like, I should say. And because I'm a big fan of the anime and obviously the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, it actually turned out to be a really cool opportunity to get to go try it out and see some of the really cool looking cards they have. As you guys know, I like to collect cool looking cards, even if they're not Yu-Gi-Oh. So, I would appreciate you guys checking that out. I know it's not it's not super long. It it's only around I think it was around 12 minutes, so it's a quick video. if you want to hop in, show some support, it would be awesome. And cuz I know it's it's not a Yu-Gi-Oh video, so it's a little different. I know people only want to see Yu-Gi-Oh sometimes. And uh as you guys know, I like more than Yu-Gi-Oh. Obviously, Poke Rocks Pokemon. We speaking of, we got a new video over there with the uh Polish Crystal Nuzlock. If you've missed it, go check it out. Uh we've got that. I've got one piece I've I've opened a couple of times, which I've been watching that a little bit, but now Chelsea's addicted to reading, so we haven't been able to watch as much as I would have liked. So, I'm I'm slowing down a little bit on that. Naruto, we I've seen all the way through the original and Chipin. I did not watch the filler. I know some people are like, "You didn't watch the filler. It doesn't count." I did not watch the filler, but I've seen everything else all the way through twice. I think that's pretty respectable. Okay, just I just can't get through the filler. I did watch some filler. I watched filler at the end because I wanted to see Guy Sensei and Rockley get their wedding present obviously because that was one of the best episodes ever made. I'm sure there's some other good filler in there that I missed. Uh so you can recommend certain ones that I missed. Maybe I can go watch them. But yeah. Uh yeah, I'm just trying to keep my mind off this Mia hunt because maybe I'll surprise myself and accidentally just pull it out of nowhere and just be talking about something completely random. That would be pretty sick. I'm not packing anymore. I'm going straight in. All right. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. literally gorgeous. Okay. And and by the way, I feel like on that Naruto video and that Gen Con video I did, I didn't get to really tell the dramatic story of my Uber driver getting me through a tornado warning and taking me to the airport. And it was actually insane. And I feel like it was a missed opportunity. It was a really It was insane. I didn't know if I was going to make it. I thought we were going to die a couple of times. Uh it was insane. So, I might have to tell that story at some point because it was actually amazing and the dude was insane. I It was the biggest tip I've ever given an Uber driver. I was like, "Dude, you earned this. You earned this. Your car honestly is going to need more money than this to repair it since you got me here." It was actually insane. So, uh, a legendary Indianapolis Uber driver, if he maybe sees this, he won't, but somehow sees this. I don't think he he didn't know who I was. He I He didn't seem like a Yu-Gi-Oh guy. He did ask if I was at Gen Con, you know, in the one moment of calm we had, which was I don't even know if it was calm. I think we were just trying to distract ourselves from the life or death situations we were in. But actually some of the craziest driving I've ever seen. And like and it was not like, "Oh my gosh, why is he driving?" It was like, "This was necessary." And I was like, "Go do it. Do what must be done, Lord Vader." You know, like it it was crazy. Oh, there's a card destruction. I want to pull all those old school cards out for my goat and my Edison boxes. in my old school boxes just in general old school cards that might be used at some point. Wendy. Okay. Yeah. So, I'll tell that story at some point. And speaking of events, by the way, uh it's not this weekend, but the next weekend I'll be at Charlotte Collecticon. So, if you guys are excited about Collecton, you're in the North Carolina area, Charlotte area especially, definitely come by. I will be there. Hiccups. I will be at the PCG booth. myself and Viji Juio. We'll have two tables there. There will obviously be PCG stuff going on um at the rest of the booth. So, you guys feel free if you want to grade with PCG, you can do that. Uh there's a uh our second Chibi of the day. Uh I will be just selling cards. I'll have some PCG. I have some PSA. I'll have hopefully a lot of vintage stuff, some old school cards you guys can grab that you might like. Uh we're going to hopefully have a good variety there. And I'll try to bring some sealed stuff. I might even have some a little bit of sealed like Pokemon that I've picked up. Uh, and a little bit of sealed Yu-Gi-Oh as well if I can. I'm going to try to drive this one. I think I'm tempting to drive. So, I should be able to bring a little bit more than I normally do. When I fly, it's a lot It's annoying to bring like three suitcases and check, you know, check your bags and stuff. So, I end up just bringing the the one carry-on and the the personal item or whatever. So, I don't have to check anything and wait for forever for those to pop out of the plane. Then you have to worry about, you know, them getting lost or whatever. So when I can drive, I feel a little bit better about packing the car, heading over there. So keep an eye out for me on or at that collect. Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to bring some cool vintage stuff and you guys can pick it up. And I will probably be buying as well. There's a chibi. I usually end up buying a lot. You guys have seen them. I accidentally spend this amount of money at Collecton. I am planning to spend a lot. Okay, I'm planning to spend a lot. My goal is to spend. I want to buy collections. One for uh there's a few cards I need for myself. There's cards that it'll be good for, you know, putting on whatnot on the website, you know, because you can never have too many awesome cards on there. So, I'm going to be picking stuff up for that. I'm going to be picking stuff. I'm going to probably try to do another video where I go to other vendors and see if I can find any uh there's an Exodia, any Yu-Gi-Oh stuff, which will be tough at Collectagon, but I think we'll probably have some like other other friends there that'll have some. Okay. Caster. Caster the friendly ghost. Or is it Casper? Interesting. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. Uh, Cipherex Dragon. Then we have probably How many packs left? Bomb between teacher and student. They're going pretty quick. If you haven't checked out the website, by the way, roxom34.com, I am uh consigning and listing a lot of stuff on there. There are a bunch of consignments that are going to get listed soon. So, keep an eye out for some vintage product, whether it be graded, whether it be sealed. There's going to be some bangers on there. We've got starter decks. We've got uh PSA graded stuff. We got uh a lot of um I was going to say AGS. What's it called? ARS. There we go. ARS graded stuff. We've got a bunch of singles. Um that's not usually consigned, but I do have some singles on there that I post. So, keep an eye on the website. Rxon34.com has a ton of stuff coming and a ton of stuff on there right now. Still got some sealed product like limit over collection the rivals which is pretty exciting. Substit. All right, so we've pulled the one over frame and since then it's been a little bit meager. I think all those like Edison cards I pull out are under a dollar so they're just pulled out simply for the box. They're not actually like giving us any value towards our uh our hole we're in. which if we started at 300, we were like negative200. So that means we started at negative 500. There's another chibi. And a lot of the chibiies, if they're just by themselves, are cheap, too. So yeah, it's pretty rough. You kind of got to pull the big card. Still no Starlight in this video. And these weren't even Starlight 2.0 yet. They were just regular Starlight Draketail Sting Shape Snatch. I know that's worth a million dollars. So we made our money back. I've been feeling a little under the weather over the weekend. So that's why my voice is a little bit I don't know, raspy. Got a sore throat a little bit. I'm really not feeling great. So hopefully I'll I'll I'll heal up for the whatnot stream Junkmeister. That's that's seven bucks something like that now. Uh heal up for the whatnot stream, heal up for collecton next weekend because it is quite a drive from where I'm from. I mean it's not crazy. It's it's drivable. You know these days with how flights work, you know, everything being delayed and you know you can't really get a direct flight half the time, which I could to Charlotte probably, but it just takes a long time. Even with TSA pre-check, it's like, okay, I'm through, but now I have a delay of 3 hours. It's like, oh cool, that's sick. That's awesome. Just what I was looking for. So, if it's not like eight plus hours, it's really it's like ah I don't know. Maybe I should just drive. And plus, as I mentioned earlier, you get so much more uh space to take stuff without having to check bags and stuff. Legatus. Okay. What do we got? Box and a half box left. I don't know. We start with 100 packs. We've opened now 200 in this part of the series, but overall we've opened a lot more than that. I do need to add up. I have to go through all the videos. I said I was going to do that for this video. Maybe I'll get it done by the time we upload it, but I am a little busy. So, I've been very busy. There's actually some big announcements coming to the channel that are hopefully going to help. Vampire Lord um Chibi, that's sick with being busy. And maybe I'll be able to I want to be less busy to so I can think about content even more, you know, cuz I like doing the new series. I like doing stuff that's different than what we normally do and try to get creative. But sometimes I get so busy with the selling and the shipping and everything that I don't even get to think about it. It's like, okay, you know, let's just do the normal stuff we do. And I think sometimes people are like, ah, we've seen this, you know, it's like, let's see something new. Which, speaking of, check out Duelist Kingdom Conquest. I think you guys will like it cuz you liked Battle City Bonanza and it is somewhat similar. It is not completely the same. I tried to change some stuff up to make it a little bit more interesting, but I think you guys will like it. So, keep an eye on that one. Wield anime tournament is start getting close to the second round. We actually only have Yugi's left. I think there's only Yeah, there's going to be a Yugi in the next two episodes because we never spun Yami Yugi or Yuioto at all. It's crazy. So, they're saved for the last round. There's going to be a bunch of like heavyweight fights in the in the winners bracket. Some crappy fights. There we go. Speaking of uh crappy is a strong word, but this is not the Majio we're looking for. Chime Mega Fleet is a pretty good card. So, it's not like a big money card or anything, but it is an overframe. Two overframes. The only problem with pulling two over frames like well imagine if those are mia now they're not starlights anyway so I don't know if it makes a difference cuz they aren't starlights if they were starlights and they were taking away from the starlight section that I think is a couple bucks then it would feel even worse because it's like ah that could have been it you know that that could have been it should have been it you know kind of like Mia when we pull all the wrong QCRs all right ground Zeno the the previous Mia you know we're obviously on Mia again we also did a then we duel about Then we dual back this past weekend. So definitely go check that out. It was fun. We used the new chaos origin boxes and uh with the Chaos Origins/ Invasion Chaos boxes. So it was like an old school duel. Okay. Invoked Rajin, Constellar, Arrows of Regulus, Red Nova, and DB. I'm under the weather and it's like it's one of those mines where everything's just making me tired and like my this recording is like putting me I'm like I'm so tired. So hopefully I'm not putting you guys to sleep. even it could turn into one of those watch packs until you fall asleep videos or you know it's not packs but what do they call them like talk about like uh Mega Man whatever for 4 hours until you fall asleep or something that would be something Chaotic Meatball would fall asleep to uh myself never played Mega Man but uh that'll offend him and he'll he'll be messaging me on Discord right now. He's like what is wrong with you? I I sold you that DS with all the games on it. Why have you not played Mega Man? And to that I have no answer. I don't actually I do have an answer. I only play Pokemon. I play Pokemon. I have played a lot of old school Runescape. I'm not currently playing, but I will be back on it at some point because that's what always happens with Runescape. I jump in and out of Master Duel, obviously. We do it on the channel, but I'll even play the modern sometimes and I figure out what's going on, you know, and like to play with certain decks. Like when Blue Ice Primite came out, I was hyped about that. I'll do that. Let's see if there's anything else I play. I'm currently actually back on my uh my quest. I'm trying to complete every single Pokemon. Not complete every game, but get every game. I'll probably try to complete them after that. I'm trying to collect every single Pokemon game, and I want them complete in box. So, I I mostly have the the newer ones. I do have a couple of clean box. You guys have seen my Emerald. Uh and there is some other another new one, Dark Magician Girl. That's very nice. Coming in a Pokerox video soon. And I have purchased some mid-tier ones as well. So I have a lot, but there is a large extensive list of random things on like random consoles. There's another chibi. Nice that I do not have. So I will be collecting those slowly but surely. Hopefully at some point I'll have the entire thing because I want to update my background and have a lot more things displayed including uh another chibi. Nice. Including not just Yu-Gi-Oh but Pokemon games as well cuz that's what I really like. Uh, but I want to put even more Yu-Gi-Oh in the background as well, cuz right now you can see the boxes. You can see this. But I think there's a lot more room to display stuff. I might actually, as much as I like this sign, I might move it to a different spot and have like a second recording area that I think is a couple bucks. Love fusion. And then display even more stuff. But I'm trying to consider what I'm going to do and have like multiple recording areas maybe. Uh, you know, we'll see if because right now I don't have enough room for that. But maybe at some point I will. Hint hint, maybe at some point. So, uh, yeah, could be some cool stuff coming. So, let's pull the Mia and just launch right into that. I'm excited for this whatnot stream this week because this I've kind of been planning on this one for a while, but I have not yet pulled the trigger on committing to it. Uh, but it is a banger. That is pretty sick. So, I think you guys will be excited. Okay. And yeah, of course, $15 free credit. I got to remind you guys that if you've never been on that platform, you have $15 free credit when you sign up and you have Chaos Origins free pack on your first purchase. So, you buy something with $15 free credit that qualifies. You'll only have to pay for shipping. So, you'll pay for the shipping if it's $15 or under. And then you'll get also a bonus pack. So, kind of works out. And then, of course, those $20 bundles end up being crazy value. I know a lot of you guys love those. I shipped out thousands of those at this point. And I've had some pretty amazing updates on what people pulled out of those their simple uh seven packs plus the bonus eight total packs. They've gotten some crazy ratio cards. So, they're straight out of cases, straight out of boxes most of the time. If not, they're out of other sealed items. So, yeah, you definitely should check those out if you haven't already. And I'm always adding things, you know, to the uh buy it now to the auctions. So, there's more fun and interesting stuff to buy as well. So, uh that's going to be happening this week. We got another one next week and then we have I believe Magnificent Monsters the next week or is it two weeks after that? I can't remember. But Magnificent Monsters is less than a month away I think at this point. And shout out to Walmart.com for having an awesome pre-order. Like they actually sold a bunch. Like it wasn't limited super hard. So they actually sold to a bunch of people uh and you could get a decent amount. You didn't just have to buy like too many boxes. So it was pretty cool. Uh shout out them. It was a very expensive the most expensive Walmart order I think I've ever had because even at MSRP these displays are not cheap. You have 10 of those $35 box that's $350 plus tax and everything. It's rough. It It is very expensive. So, it's going to be an expensive set, but it is going to be a ton of fun to open these up and hope for those grand masters. And speaking of grand masters, I've been hearing through the grapevine from PCG, your your grandm's coming back soon. Coming back soon. And I think officially it actually is coming back soon now. Like very excited. So I can't wait to see what we got. As long as it's a 95, I'm happy. If it's a nine, I'm going to be sad. If it's a 95 or better, I'm going to be pumped. If it's a 10. No, if it's a 95, I'll be happy. If it's a 10, I'll be pumped. Like if it's a uh gym mint 10 or if it is a pristine 10, that's when I flip out. And then if it obviously if it's a flawless 10, which it's not. It's not a flawless 10, but uh if it's a flawless 10, I don't even know what'll happen to me. I'll probably just die. It would be amazing. So, I hope that happens, but I don't die. You know, I survive. I would say the best chance I would say if we get super lucky, pristine 10. I think gym mint 10 and and then a strong 95 are what we're looking at between. I would I would guess 95. being a little pessimistic cuz you don't want to expect too high and be disappointed when it's a 9.5. Uh, but I am scared honestly cuz that is a very big time card. It's one of our if not our best pull ever because the actual ratios of getting that has got to be one of the hardest cards I've ever pulled. Why is there a crazy glare right there? What is that? I don't know what that is. That off the packs. That's off the packs. Oh my gosh. Super bright. I just noticed that. Okay, that's the only problem with the Game Boy backgrounds. I guess the way to fix it is you put the unsealed one right here and it doesn't reflect as much. Check this out. Check out this strategy. Okay, it still does reflect, but not as bad. Okay, four more packs. I think we're we're probably getting waxed right now. Tour guide. We've got a lot of chibies today, which is good. We've gotten two full arts. No Starlights. I feel like I have the worst luck with starlights in this set in Chaos Origin. Just not pulling a lot of them. I'm pulling a lot of extended arts, but that's it. Stan, arrest, penetration fusion, el shidal fusion. We're looking for Lev Shidal fusion if you want a few bucks. Two packs left. You guys have enjoyed it.
