Rudy wanna sell me a kit? Just became a patron😅

Hello Brandon, how about a followup comment? ......lol

Rudy The Magic Guy

Ok

Orders in!!

Julian Tavares

ready

Ready

lets goooo

mario telles anzurez

*Refresh* *Refresh* *Refresh*

Sooooooo Ready!

Cardboard is the only thing that truly matters. Well... tacos too

Rudy I have my nacho cheese steak chalupa in my one hand and my sticky mountain dew laced mouse ready to strike in the other. ENGAGE!

Ray Q

lulz

Does anyone else question themselves as they sit on their phone at 9pm on a Friday for the release of a bunch of cardboard meant for children

First purchase I’m nervous. Let’s go. 🐰🪓🩸

looks like total value on this kit is around 800 so even at his hi end 599 is still a great deal still plenty of free tendies to go around

here we go boys

Tanner Prince

Ready!

Rudy give us some stats too on how many people message you asking when the kit will ship and why hasn't my kit arrived within 2 hours of purchase.

Derek

Ready baby

ready!!!!!!!!!!

mario telles anzurez

I'm ready!

New buyer here, if I want to buy with Crypto I just message you once the sale starts?

not surprised....this is a brand new product line, i would expect more weird errors and things to occur. Bringing a new product to the market is very expensive and high risk with a lot of room for problems :-/

Rudy The Magic Guy

hey rudy, theres stuff going around where people think the decks arent shuffled, as many people are getting multiple decks with the same promo card. One store said 20 decks all had the same promo+

alldaytaytay

The Timmys are at the table, but will there be enough tacos?

Patrick Deitner

yes sir, send a PM when the sale goes live, and i will reserve your kit

Rudy The Magic Guy

i am logging it, and will give the results tongiht :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

I wanna see the Data % of how many people that said "I'm not buying this" BUT ended up buying now... Lol

Brian

There will be instructions in the post. Yes, it's basically the same - put a note in the notes section when you send the money stating what you're buying, and if your PayPal or w/e payment method contact info is different than your Patreon, mention that too.

Hey all, I'm new to the buying aspect and was hoping someone can give me guidance as to how to go about purchasing this specific product. Will it be same as buying regular magic box's via pay pal or will it be something differient. Thank you in advance!

Let's fucking go ....I'm ready for this

Peter Hauge

Will we be able to use crypto for the cryptids?

Stephen Pierson

I just hope it's not gonna be close to $600. The original prices from the website was $90 booster box, $40 spell book and $8 per starter deck. Numbers don't add up, even with the promos.

That promo is amazing! Please don't destroy the rest of them. If it were me I would just give everyone two of them to celebrate this momentous occasion. Then we'd all have one to play and one to display!

Had my tacos for dinner, time to get my PayPal ready!

Andy Modell

I have watched the OFFICIAL : MetaZoo Launch has Arrived. video a total of 10 times... story goes the more you watch the video the higher the chance Rudy will put on some lipstick and kiss your playmat before shipping.

Julian Tavares

Loved the video that just dropped and between that and the relentless negativity in these comments I'm convinced this thing has the legs for the long term. Everybody chill out! PS - a sasquatch promo card is exactly what a secret cat would make to throw everyone off the scent. See you all in 80 minutes.

Russ Goldich

But I get off AT 9p E

Brandon Nolte

Sarcasm for sure. He's prodding the comments to price the product.

Ron Manelski

New drinking game: start a clock after you get off work and take a shot every hour until Rudy's sale begins.

Andrew Schulz

That will come after the sale is over lol

michael j

I really wonder just running their the comments if Rudy is just sarcastic or if he’s really either negative about the product or price or whatever transpired behind the scenes….

Brandon Nolte

As a European Patron it completely came down to supporting the Videos and because of the monthly posts. Still ok but good deals on TCGs seems gone now. Pity.

Correct

My wallet will hurt but if at the end of the day if I am able to get an order in and a chalupa taco bell combo with Baja Blast I think I'm fine today

What patreon tier you need to buy in to this?

Yup! 9pm EDT. I would set an alarm 5 min prior and have your payment method up and ready. Keep refreshing the Patreon app/website till the posted sale is up. Instructions on how to buy are usually at the bottom of the post once you’ve made it that far. 🙂

Thanks for offering this unique kit. Very excited! Mat looks dope.

So first come first serve and no reserving a kit, correct :D

Bryan Steger

I will be buying metazoo!

How will the drop work? Will u be dropping a link to buy at 9?

Rudy - no update with stats on instantly dropped memberships with this announcement? I don’t even know you anymore!

Autocorrect got you and put in many in place of few

Douglas Mittelstaedt

@rudy, The more damage the better!

Douglas Mittelstaedt

i hope we can get one

michael j

Looks like the price for taco stock is on the rise, should have jump in earlier! All I hear in my head is “don’t time the market”

Douglas Mittelstaedt

Any chance we will get a preview video on this sale?

LOL

Jonathan Morris

Oof

Pokémane

I’m hoping to be less than $400 🤣🤣🤣

William Arce

What are these promo items? Exclusive to you?

That the metazoo people do not know what a pallet is does not surprise me in the least.

RudyZoo

Ozzy B.

Correct

Ozzy B.

How much will be european shipping?

👍👍

So I have yet to purchase anything from you but this is the one I have been waiting for lol. I hope I don't mess it up or oversleep or something. I just know I'ma goof it up and miss out D:

Kevin Bertolasio

Im sure prices will drop a lot, so it could be better to wait, and skip the sale.

Rudy The Magic Guy

acutally some pretty cool items, and a good variety of promos and specialy decks (non-theme)

Rudy The Magic Guy

*crosses fingers* please be closer to $499 than $599

Tyler McCoy

Thanks for the feedback, i wish you the best!

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Rudy...you mentioned 10 items in this special, but you only listed 2 booster boxes and 2 promo cards. What are the other 6 items? Metazoo Playmats? Photos of Rudy in a Godzilla suit? 2 rubber tacos? A stale chalupa?

Philip Chiu

So tomorrow at 9 we go straight to your whatsapp address you spam in the comment section right?

Joseph Everett

Ok ok ok. After reading all of the comments so far. My thoughts: the used car salesman is really trying to push this as selling out. And even though so many have explained the price breakdown of the kit and contents they dont even know yet . One thing to take away. Weather your buying or not. Ive seen more responses from the used car salesman justifying the price,and backlash from people who pay him a monthly subscription. Which means theres a choice to make. Buy the kit because you want the product and plan to open it and enjoy. Dont buy the product, buy each item two-three weeks later on the secondary market at a price (that might be) less than what he’s charging or it might be 2-3x what he’s charging. Very interesting to see so much negativity. You know it almost reminds me of a smaller version of alpha welcome to rathe . I called last week sale sell out or no sell out. This week pretty safe yes. Under 20 minutes. Have a nice day. Rudy be carful of cardboard, paper cuts hurt. 🙂

Metazoo has already made a statement about the damge to the boxes. Many people will be receiving this kind of damage no matter where your getting it. Obviously, the $499 is much more welcome than the $599 price point

The Cardboard Crackhead

I'm sure the dings will be minor and cosmetic at the end of the day, and especially if the whole run is dinged there's not much to worry about with someone having a better condition product than you. The real concern is that the whole run is dinged, lol... Not ideal for confidence in your fledgling tcg

So word from the back den at the zoo is the Mike's decided to really crank the fomo index and go w/option A (short and damaged print run) for fear of not hitting target dates and well hoping the fomo will carry into unlimited. Still think 1st edition mothman settles @ $150 in few months, and s.sinclair, c.crystal @ $70, other ob9 and key holos @ $45. Still good value even if taco tax is high. Just erase from memory you passed on $125 boxes waiting for this kit

Ron Manelski

People being hesitant about the price.. we don't even know what all of the 10 items will be! Also wait till you see the promo card.. my god its hot

Start shipping monday, and should be done by friday, 5 day total run. Goal is to ship 100-200 kits per day.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I might just order this kit as my first purchase with Rudy. I was finally able to grab a Patron spot after a year of trying. Happy to just give Rudy money each month for the value he brings to CCG's as well as the awesome entertainment and white boards which are brilliant...

Legit LOL’d at that.

Caleb P

I imagine Rudy's "family" is just a bunch of teenage taco bell workers he's kidnapped from the surrounding stores after they short-changed him a taco in his party pack. If you crank up the volume in his videos you can hear their cries of terror as they know in just 10 short minutes he'll be back down with another kit for them to build.

Man Rudy you got me weak af!💀 But seriously though thank you for teaching me a lot. Hope you keep the content coming for years to come!

For the love of beasties let there be a sample pack. They had some left for the con. Would make up for the damage and then some. A lot riding on the promos to justify price on damaged goods

Ron Manelski

one more question, when do you think these kits will ship?

Thanks for all the effort getting this together, real shame about the condition, hope its closer to 499 with the condition issues.

KevinM

Hey Rudy, do you have a video where you talk more about MetaZoo ive seen a bit about it from googling but wondering if I missed a video where you discussed your thoughts.

Cant wait to see which one of the new TCG's is the first to fall once the money printer stops going brrrr

Double Octave

Normal Style, since i should have around 800-1200 kits ready to roll. But i have not confirmed the quantites yet. I will warn you, its going to sell out and be a messy sale.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Is this going to be a comment before sending money sale - or do you think you'll have enough for a normal style sale?

Larry Johnson

I received some zoo 1st stuff... outer boxes do see a little dinged to some pushed in tops, but all the packs are clean of damage. The issue is from china to US, they put 18 boosters in 1 single box without an outer box to protect it. Then from US, they double boxed it but was too late at that point.

Well the playmat shows tacos going to the moon so I'm sold.

Paul Koenen

Really hoping can get one. Been a part of metazoo since Kickstarter so this literally means so much to me 😭🙏🏼

Bryan Steger

TL;DR only 1 or 2 of the best cards will exist at PSA 10 quality. Super rarity achieved!

Andrew Schulz

yes, just send a PM during the sale, and i wil reserve a kit while we complete the crypto process

Rudy The Magic Guy

The instructions will be in the announcement, but basically paypal him money with your patreon e-mail (if it's different than paypal) and confirm the shipping address. Also, don't be afraid to ask him for free samples of all that excess FaB he can't sell anymore. :3

Varrisk

Figures they'd be all dinged and dented.. Guess we'll just have to open them up and play the game.

Varrisk

Watch his from today. Thats the playmat lol

michael j

set an alarm for 9:00pm...my PM's are massive for people wanting the product and even offering a higher price to get extra quantity. This will be a messy sale

Rudy The Magic Guy

Rudy will you be doing crypto? Because im in if you are! Dont care about condition of the boxes. Thanks!

I'll admit the no restock was a surprise to me, I thought you would have a couple rounds of 1st edition product, the kit then individual boxes/cases at a later date, but nice to see the demand is so high. The play mat looks awesome too, a little better than the Christmas themed one, I think you make a good sketchy cartoon character Rudy.

scififanman

Idk what to do with this one. It's not gonna be like flesh and blood at all in terms of price spikes but it probably won't flop like argent saga. I initially thought it may flop but lets be real if Digimon still exists then anything out there has a shot at success lol. The playmat design determines my fate tomorrow...

Derek

Well, part of me hopes there are enough of you haters to leave boxes available for me when my flight lands. Probably not though and that's okay

Kevin Mosher

I’m new to order on patreon. When it goes live tomorrow how can I send payment to you Rudy :)?

Bryan Steger

best question of the night....I called Mike/Metazoo and was pretty upset. But the other option was protecting everythign and shipping from overseas in a shipping container but product wouldnt arrive until September delaying the release, causing larger problems. There will not be additioaln 1st edition print run produced to fix the problem.

Rudy The Magic Guy

you are close, i decided to take market price and +30% not -30% or somethign fishy is going on.

Rudy The Magic Guy

So Rudy, what do you think about Metazoo shipping out tons of damaged boxes to stores across the country? Evidently they knew the boxes were damaged and knowingly shipped them out to dozens of LGS's that they wanted to carry their game this is the info I recieved "Metazoo partnered with ChannelFireBall and they offered a package deal with LGSs using a selling platform called BinderPOS. Apparently Metazoo shipped a lot of the first ed Cryptic Nation boxes knowing damn good and well that they were damaged, and not like just kinda smooshed, like full on mangled. And they shipped them anyways. To LGSs. That you are trying to convince to carry your game". not hating on your deal just wanted your thoughts

Miguel Lily

Im curious if nightfall will have a kit

Paul Tufis

It will be messy, i promis you

Rudy The Magic Guy

honestly....the small dents/dings are not bad at all, but i would rather set expectations worse than reality so 99% of everyone is postivitly surprised.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Can you post pictures of the average damage so we can set expectations? I don't really want to be surprised.

Robert Goldthorpe

Better set your alarms and don't ignore them. Speaking from experience :p

Prabal Singh

Forgive my Timmyness, but what is this product? Guess I should taken Rudy’s last Taco U class ;)

For those trying to decide if this is worth it, on Channel Fireball (which has Metazoo marked up +50% over MSRP on boxes) 2 Boxes: 300 5 deck bundle: 70 1 Spell book: 50 So that's $420 for 8 marked up items. Hopefully there are no decks and instead there are multiple Spell Books and Blisters, but it's probably decks and it comes down to if the Playmat and Promo are worth $80-180 to you in addition to marked up product. I am curious about what Rudy meant in earlier videos when he talked about marking this product down 30%. Did that go out the window?

2 Rudy Faces is 1 too many on playmat!!

Main event coming up, dont miss it, it will be epic.

Rudy The Magic Guy

yep, PM when the sale goes live to get reserved

Rudy The Magic Guy

ehhh....feels like a scam

Rudy The Magic Guy

Love you Rudy . Gotta grade those promo cards

Will you be accepting crypto for this?

*gets popcorn and watches Timmys reeee*

Cant wait to try to nab one Rudy! Appreciate the heads up dude! Fuck the haters

Ray Q

dreadful.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I’ve seen boxes on ebay in the past for $200-250 preorder so this seems fair to me. Especially with the extras.

Caleb P

Bruuuuh this is going to be wild

Carl

That’s me guess, thinks it’s gona land at $550

Douglas Mittelstaedt

thanks for the feedback

Rudy The Magic Guy

i would recomend, purchasing elsewhere, thanks for the feedback

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Rudy, sell me a damaged box opening!

Douglas Mittelstaedt

sorry, not a chance, the demand and line of people wanting this is insane.

Rudy The Magic Guy

There is no additional 1st edition product to be swapped out. There is no more additional 1st edition product. But unlimited/2nd edition will be corrected.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I will try to make sure each kit is simliar conditions to prevent some people getting perfect kits and some people getting excessive dents or dings

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes, i do plan on pulling aside the worst condition boxes for box openings.

Rudy The Magic Guy

100% if holding sealed

says nothing about a play mat. its 2 booster boxes and 2 promo cards thats it

Viking TCG

No insurance against damage? And thanks Rudy for pointing this out in advance! Not your fault the boxes are damaged.

James Follin Jr

idk seems kind of steep for 2 booster boxes I just ordered 8 booster boxes yesterday at $150 each i doubt the promos are worth $100-$150 each

Viking TCG

Do dents affect value?

Paul Tufis

lmao

Not really interested in this product.

Jim Volin

Can we get a picture of a damaged inner box for an example?

Robert Sutphin

Don't panic, this is just Rudy marking his boxes so he can track us! ;)

Robert Sutphin

$500-600 way too tax for this bundle especially considering half the sealed product is damaged. Will probably be better off just picking up what I want on the open market.

Maybe 5 to 10% discount lol

JAMES YAMAMURA

Price seems fair to me! $400 for the 2 boxes, $200 if it’s the 5 decks, so the possible 1 playmat and 2 promos are free :)

I'll take the damaged boxes I'm just gonna crack them anyway

JAMES YAMAMURA

WOW $600 FOR DAMAGED BOXES. COUNT ME OUT THERE OL' CAPTAIN SCALPY

That’s what I’m hoping on. I would just like to know now to see if I need to set my alarm.

Andy Wilkes

Aww man, that's way too out of my price range. :-( will there be a chance for us poors to buy a single box or 2?

Kind of surprised MZ isn't stepping up to make right. Intro to the game being damaged $599 product isn't exactly best way to acquire and hold players. At least the flippers will be thinking twice

Ron Manelski

So it will have a special card and playmat. 2 booster boxes. What are the other 6 items a spellbook and all 5 decks?

michael j

He did state "10 items INCLUDING 2 boxes and 2 promos." The other 6 items must be good.

JODY MCCULLOUGH

I would like to know too. Was hoping to just get a single booster box for a fair price. Signed up just for metazoo :(

Pretty good odds there. I stopped even trying to get restitution from USPS after going 0 for 2 on claims :)

Stop your messin’ around. Better think of your future.

Patrick Deitner

Same. I felt like this was gonna be a $300-$350 Friday night special.

Anthony Paramo

Price seems a bit off for what little is coming with this, am I missing something?

Yes I agree, 499 is high (at the low) I assume he’s figuring the playmat will nearly cover the cost in addition to the promo cards. Honestly, I’m not sure. Really tough call. More like a gamble

Sounds like something he would do

I thought Rudy was gunna throw in his pallet jack with a METAZOO sticker on it as the Promo?

That is double what I expected price wise. What other items are in there I wonder to make it that expensive?

Andy Wilkes

If it was UPS, you might get an empty box with some popcorn stuck inside lol

Nick Vovk

FedEx doesn’t dent! Obviously resealed by the Timmy taco himself..

Probably tomorrow night at 9pm est it will be a comment thing. But if he has enough product it will be a who can send payment the fastest.

Anthony Paramo

Does any think this is worth the $500-600? I have concerns as the booster boxes sell for around $150 each

Vincent Snow

FedEx ground or FedEx freight, both are known to extensively damage product.

Scott Pysher

I'll sell you my playmat for 599 :D

Thanks for being upfront Rudy, always appreciate your professionalism. Looking forward to am awesome sale

Aaron Paolozzi

Is this one of those items you pm Rudy and he confirms you get one before you send payment?

you must have not shipped anything...

Terentiy

Will the playmat be for sale? $600 is a lot to spend on a game I don’t think I’m interested in playing but I’m love the playmat you had the other day.

Anthony Paramo

This reassures me that it will hang on

Ozzy B.

Rudy, to clarify, are you going to be spreading out the damaged boxes so everyone will have some damaged product? Or will there be some kits with more/less/no damage

Which is 1

Ozzy B.

Do you plan on opening boxes? You’ve done plenty of FaB over the year, I’d LOVE a cryptid nation box from alpha. Or even a dozen

Ozzy B.

🐰🪓🩸

I'm buying as much as possible!

Jesse Marlow

Maybe everyone gets one damaged box and one good box?

Ouch this hurts

Betting the founder kicked them around to prevent evil investors from Holding sealed product and encourage people to open them and play lol

I don't mind the dings since I will be opening the products! Thank you Rudy and family for making the metazoo kits! I can't wait to get one!

mario telles anzurez

Well, everyone, welcome to my world. The USPS plays soccer with all the boxes that are delivered to my house. I am 2 out of 3 for successful $100 reimbursement on the Insurance.

BrewCrew75

I hope it does well, but I don’t see how this hangs on. At first glance it looks like off brand Pokémon. I think everyone just wants to get in on 1st edition tcgs because they want to make free money

Evan Foote

I’m in

As long as the actual booster boxes are fine then who cares.

I just started listening to A Message to You Rudy, and got a message FROM Rudy! No lie! 😳

Neil Eldridge

Yes yes yes

William Arce

NICE GREEN BOX CUTTER! Is that for sale as well?

Slap my mothman… you son of a bitch I’m in.

How do I buy (:

Sergio Company

Thanks for the heads up on price! Wish I didn’t make the Taco Bell stop this evening, I’m gonna have to pull some cash out of the savings account!

Ozzy B.

Can’t wait my daughter is so excited for this!

Ouchhh

Patrick Deitner

Shipping problems? Seriously, in today’s age?

Just buying it for the playmat ;)

dank_mememan

Zoinks that's a bummer. Little bit of damage roulette

Oof, it's like they used Amazon to ship them.
