That bit at the end is the thing to keep in mind out of all of this; for all the bad sets, janky toys, and video games that were effectively paying $40 for a card, all of them are still functional, usable products. The MtG cards are literally unplayable in official tournaments. You are giving Wizards a thousand dollars for *a chance* to get something you could print for yourself for pennies!

[HardlegGaming]

I'm surprised no one brought up the Yugioh advent calendars. They were only $20, but for that you got maybe $1 worth of common pack-filler cards.

Back in the early 2000s, a mom came into our local card shop to buy her very young son his first "booster box." She noticed one that was significantly cheaper than the rest, so she purchased it for him and they left excitedly. Moments later, the mom came back inside feeling furious that every single pack had identical cards in it.

She purchased a "box" of the Movie Exclusive pack. The poor kid was heartbroken. He ended up being okay in the long run - we're still in touch - but what a rough early outing into the game.

You can't really surpass MTG 30 anniversary edition. It's so awful that it managed to upset the Mtg, Yugioh and Pokemon communities; that's an accomplishment on it self.

[DeepCDiva]

The only thing close to the 30th Anniversary was learning that you had to PAY PER DUEL on YGO Online. At least that wasn't advertised as a way to celebrate the game's legacy but holy shit

[ryanchase]

Still amazing that YGO has released the only video game even temporarily banned in the US because of fraud. Not Blizzard. Not WB. Not EA. Yu-Gi-Flipping-Oh.

That takes an impressive amount of effort.

I love that MBT saw those garbage toy/replicas of in show gadgets and thought IMMEDIATELY - "I need one of those"
because so did I, the worse they looked the more I wanted them.

You know what the wise man says:
“The worst Yu-Gi-Oh! product is the one that is yet to come.”
-Sun Tzu, probably

Legacy of the Duelist (base game) is really good if you're a fan of the anime. You get to play a ton of duels forward and backward with constructed decks for both sides. You get to play all scenarios as villains as well and try to figure out how to win with dogwater cards.

[gstellar]

Yeah I think there's a difference between "this set is really bad competitively" and "this is a scam"

[RyanAtlus]

Imagine having to pay per game in Master Duel and the opponent wins the coin flip and goes full Drytron combo.

I remember the hygiene products, the soap and shower gel were alright, but the deodorant bar was worse than dollar store quality.

[memsysr]

They should sell deodorants in YCS because everyone is becoming sweaty over time

[jonathannorris]

Funnily enough, Number Hunters was the first piece of YGO product I ever got as a kid. I pulled Fortune Tune as a secret rare and I have the distinct memory of looking at it as the magpie part of my brain in the back of my head just thought "oooo shiny!".

[nick-playercharacter]

Remember the early Yu-Gi-Oh figures that had stuff like Fiend Kraken and Killer Needle. Not good enough to put on cardboard at the time, but good enough to be molded into plastic. Make it make sense.

[dragonslayer]

I wish yugioh did the same thing as pokemon does with their digital counterpart. Real life packs should have a code inside the pack you can enter in master duel that lets you open a master pack or something. But they wont do it cuz master duel needs to make money on its own

[victor_e_dafeet]

I felt so bad when I saw that my parents got me both speed duel packs and that gold box set at 5:40 for Christmas. I had just started playing IRL again and even I knew how bad a deal these.

[RegiRuler]

The editor pointed this out, but Link Evolution actually *did* get a major update... but back in 2020, and then never again. And it doesn't have crossplay.

It also has a weird format, IIRC halq pile, Invoked Shaddoll, and maybe Lyrilusc Raid raptor were the best decks. Spyral might be crazy, can't remember.

[jeremyadkins]

Konami, no. UDE on the other hand...

For those who don't know, Konami at least has the dignity to NOT MAKE COUNTERFEITS OF THE PRODUCT THEY'RE SELLING, SHILL THEM OFF TO A THIRD PARTY DISTRIBUTOR, AND THEN TRY TO SUE TAKAHASHI-SAN SAYING THE COUNTERFEITS ACTUALLY CAME FROM ILLEGAL CHINESE FACTORIES. Yes, this is real, this is something UDE did. It was one of the points in the game where fan fears of it dying off were actually understandable and well-grounded. To this day, I have to wonder if those counterfeit cards are worth anything, monetarily, due to their part in making (and nearly ending) Yugioh history.

Then again, Konami DID have weird-ass GX reprints shipped in with figures of their corresponding monsters, that - despite no one actually giving two shits of a Giant Rat's ass about - became so ludicrously hard to find, and thus expensive, that before someone found a binder full of them in their basement 15+ years later, ONE SET OF SAID CARDS WERE CONSIDERED A MYTH IN THEIR EXISTENCE!

[Amph]

I know one item that I WISH would have made it: Konami once advertised a home card reader that could scan your cards for play in the video games. It apparently never came out because they could not get it to read high-rarity cards. The holo-foil kept messing with the sensors.
