Funny because "if we can't leak the image, we'll just make an artistic reconstruction". But then if we did that for every leak, how would we know if it was actually a real leak, or what if the artist got something wrong?

I can tell you one thing already: Dragoon V is dead wrong. We've already had straight stock Dragoon V as a random booster release before, and then again in the V series remake set. No way they're releasing an exact duplicate of that layer for a third time!

The leak is too blurry, but I suspect it might be silver based off of a Corocoro recolor of Dragoon V, and the stickers look like they have Dragoon G's red and green color scheme instead of the more classic red and blue. Either way the layer's color is bright sans stickers.

Also, is the blurry pictures the only ones we have still? Cause I REALLY wanna know the parts or just get clearer pictures.

ive followed a few random booster threads in the past, and it always seems like a month+ out from its release, someone will come post the parts list, however im curious where they are finding this info before its launch?

But just releasing an Achilles starter wouldn't make as much mOnEY

Nah, Rage appeared at like the end of May and wad released end of June. This would be like the end of August to whenever in October, which makes little sense.

I absolutely hate random booster. I know this is practiced in many games especially trading cards. But the idea of having to pay for parts that you don't want, in order to get the parts that you want, it really sucks. It is an unscrupulous way of making more money by toymakers. Besides, it also teaches kids gambling at very young age.

If I am the head of any Consumer Rights Association, I will push to ban this unfair trade practice.

I agree. Especially when 5 of the 8 layers are basically useless. dH, hS, ADr, and the 2 remakes can’t be used in Limited format & are outclassed in Standard. At the very least, if you are going to give us non-competitive layers, give use layers that haven’t be released multiple times already.

Random Boosters are more like blind bag toys. You know you will get one of the pictured options, nothing else. Though there's one or two things they're pushing, most other options are roughly worth the same amount and guaranteed picks can be sold for more than market price for the booster. Uncertainty and variance is far lower, and usually each bey has at least one good part somewhere.

Trading card games are a different matter altogether, as the value of each pack is very highly variable especially once you include super rare cards/foils/hidden cards into the packs. The amount of variance there is absolutely insane, with the vast majority of packs worth a net loss if you resold their individual cards and a few that are worth the whole crate of card packs by themselves. This is usually not worth doing unless you really know how to flip cards well as you can wind up getting absolutely nothing of value from them, and that's also a big reason why they can be a gambler's trap.

If they made random booster beys include only the best parts, then why ever bother buying anything else? They have to include parts that people aren't so interested in or else they drain potential from other releases, or make some options far too valuable compared to others and increase variance too much. Most random booster beys are roughly equal to one another in value, so there's no real failing point where the customer loses much from their purchase for a "bad pull". If there's no true loss, then is it unfair? I'd say no, it's not. You got into that with full knowledge and a small variety, not a very limited selection from over a hundred or so options like trading cards.

If all you care about is competing just stay clear of random boosters and let everyone else enjoy the fun. It doesn't have to be meta to be fun after all, and Random Boosters are all about that. Heck, I said it with the last random booster too. Getting kinda tired of repeating that even.
