Redakai Gold Pack Unboxing

Up for today's consideration is these super ultra rare redakai gold pack.
These bad boys are £96.00 at RRP but I managed to pick one up for £9.60 at this shop, yeah that is 90% off, it's obscene how cheap these cards are going for at the minute.

The sealed box, note the 90% off sticker.

Here we can see the full box in all its glory, its quite small and compact but feels reassuringly heavy. In the box you get 24 booster packs, each containing six cards. Totaling 144 for the whole box, two cards of each pack is a rare with a chance of being super rare (silver and gold respectively). I did quite well out of mine but it is worth mentioning that my friend also bought a box and only drew four or five Golds. In relation to the game, Gold cards are pretty mean, so if your serious about getting a competitive deck its worth picking up one of these and a few kairu tins (these will be covered in a unboxing in the next week or so). Pretty much all my current deck is Silver rarity upwards.

The box folded out for display

In a way it's a shame that this is now a discontinued game, the cards are pretty cool and the stacking mechanic is innovative and works very well. A few things don't work so well, such as the 'Metacharge' mechanic, while with some attacks it's pretty self explanatory on some cards it fails to make any sense. The other problem that arises from it being discontinued is the lack of future expansions, right now we only have the original release and the Metacharge release, meaning I have a good chance of owning all the cards in circulation, thrice over.

However I suppose on the other hand its good that this system is now dead as its really easy to now pick up and play. I'll leave you with a nice bit of geek porn,

Look at all the shiny booster packs, that's 48 rares right there..
