Domon Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I'm sure a lot of you have been drooling over the fact that the Japanese structures are out in America. But you have to go to card stores or buy them on the net. Well my problem is the stinkin price ranges. The starting price for them on the net is $79.99 and the highest is the Kaiba structure which is $129.99. Now is it just me or is this just pure evil? I'm sorry but these people expect sensible people to buy the things for those kind of prices? How stupid do they take the public for? I would buy one if it dropped down to a sensible price. But for $79.99? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circ Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Japanese structures with the japanese cards? BTW, when you think about it, those prices are quite right. Many cards in the structures are either super hard to find or only available (or were for a while) there and as some rare promos. Blood Vors and Vampire Lord were for a while only available in Kaiba starter. (Vampire Lord was recently reprinted in duelist legacy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Yes, Japanese Structures with Japanese cards. Well you may have a point with the rarity but for crying out loud I mean the Starter decks have three rare cards. I just personally think this isn't fair. Some people don't have that kind of money. Heck, ya might as well buy a plane ticket to Japan and go there and get the structures for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 They're probably fairly cheap if you go to Japan to get them. The thing is, some of those cards are the most anticipated ones since the first release of the cards a while ago- the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Magician of Black Chaos and whatever. That's probably why the internet stores have jacked up their prices a lot, because they know that so many people are going to want the cards that are inside. Although $129.99 is far too much for one- I've seen that price for all four (Joey and Pegasus structures included there), but just one. That really is too much. The Kaiba deck has three Blue Eyes in it, each of which retails individually for over $20, and having three in there would be selling them at quite a loss if they were only about the same price. The Yugi one has two Dark Magicians, too. Along with MOBC and DMG, SORL and whatnot, there are lots of very popular cards. But it is annoying if you have very little money.

DeathBug Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 It's not evil; it's called "capitalism". They wouldn't sell for so much if someone weren't buying. (Can't imagine who, but, whatever...) BTW< I was in the Japanse section of EPCOT in Disney World, Olando, and they were selling a ton of Japanse Yu-Gi-Oh cards. They were $4 a pack. There was also a Japanse tin fearuring the Black Paladin (Buster Blade/Dark Magician fusion), for $40, so if you're going on a trip over spring break, remember that.

Domon Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Yup, I'll be going there next year for spring break, our school band is going there so i'm definetly going. I got that tin yesterday for $30 insted of $40, i guess it just depends on the person who sells em'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECRO Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I have bought the Joey Structure deck for $97(with tax included). It is a fair price for what you get in the deck itself. (plus it came with a really cool looking die)Kaibas comes with a coin too. Starter decks are so cheap is because its actually a "starters" deck. Structure decks are well thought out decks that actually work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G/S/B Master Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 $97? Jeez you got ripped off big time. Thats about 8x more than what I payed......I got it for $17 (plus tax). But I didn't get I die. Or are you talking about the Joey starter extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 No, he meant the Japanese Joey Structure, it comes with Jizo, Panther warrior, etc. And you paid what?! 97 dollars! That's a sheer rip-off right there. And ya know what, I bet that the people that sell these things only buy them for 12 dollars. As I said, this is just plain evil to most of the people who would like to get those decks but don't have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circ Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hey, japanese structure are high-priced too. Do you seriously think they'd release all those rare cards for 20$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I don't know why you would all want the Japanese cards anyway. I mean, you can't use them in tournaments. I will just wait until the structures come out in [i]English[/i] or better yet, sell the cards that I have before the prices drop even more. I was planning on selling my cards, but the prices have taken a nose-dive. I mean Relinquisheds can be bought for $4 now!! There goes my money.
