What are you guys buying? Trying to buy? (Discussion)

I'm new to the PokeInvesting scene, although child me had quite the vision. I'm looking to buy some new packs or boxes, not really decided what I'm going to get though. I'm probably going to spend ~$200 and open half and seal away half. Looking around this sub and others I see a lot of debate about whether new releases are eve worth buying or not. So I wanted to make a post here and get people's opinions and have a thoughtful discussion about them. Explain yourself and your reasoning as if I know nothing about pokemon or trading cards! Thanks in advance for any responses
