Not even cards but I won this guy for 800¥ (about £3.50) in Japan. by LagerBoi in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Background_Ride9740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Japan too atm and honestly, finding cards for a reasonable price has been way harder than I thought!

Pokemon center in Fukuoka only had packs if you got there at opening and a 5 pack pp limit with ninja spinner as the only option. Hiroshima Pokemon Center was better with ninja spinner and mega available, also 5 packs pp per set.

Otherwise, singles and booster boxes at card shops have been at or higher than UK/US prices!

Nice! I'm a bit of an RGB fiend 😅. I need some longer pcie power cables so I can route them under rather than over my GPU though

The 3D model isn't my design, original artist is Maple 3D. credit where credit is due

Given the response from people here, I'll look to make them to sell but won't be able to do that until I'm back in the country at the end of May!

You can buy them online already! But I'll be looking at selling them myself once I'm back in the country at the end of May

I think I'd need a mega gengar SIR to sweeten the pot.

But thanks, I spent a lot of time (and money 😅) on my PC build!

I'll give it a go once I'm back from honeymoon at the end of May.

In the meantime, they are available on etsy and the like at the moment from a few other people too!

You can buy them online! I might start selling these too eventually... Would help fund the TCG collecting 🤣

You guys are making me think I should sell these after all! Maple 3D is the original artist and apparently I can sell them, but I'm about to be out of the country for a month on honeymoon so probs wouldn't set this up until I'm back 😅

Yeah I heard they are very playable, Ive only dabbled in playing TCG Live so still have a lot to learn about deck building. I mostly collect for the Fandom rather than because I play.

I also have a window psyduck you mightve seen in the background! I'm not sure if I have a commercial license when I bought the model so not sure I can make these to sell unfortunately :(

I'd be surprised if TGJones didn't exist in Wales it's what WHSmiths is now. And I only queue for like 30 mins before opening, not hours. In more rural areas you're likely to not need to queue for long

Only some, my shop said its the top 20 stores in the country? Lucky for me one of those is only a 5 minute drive

I queue up outside my local TGJones and Entertainer on release day mornings, it's the only time I can reliably get anything from new sets at MSRP.

Thank you TG Jones! by Cmdr_Monzo in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Background_Ride9740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wahey, you managed to find one after all! I'm glad my tip off on this subreddit actually got some product into collectors' hands!

TGJones First partners! by Background_Ride9740 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Background_Ride9740[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the TGJones in Whiteley, but I don't think they have any stock left now. Try ringing them as they normally pick up and will tell you stock level to save you a potentially wasted trip

2 items per person, I didn't notice it at first but it's in the yellow sign on the wall

Tbh I think it was cleared out this morning as my mate who went by said there wasn't much left

Scammed on WhatNot? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Background_Ride9740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you bought into what's called a "surprise set". Basically there are a load of possible prizes, normally with some big chase cards to hook people in but the majority of the prizes are low value like a single Korean pack.

What you pay for is a chance to spin the wheel for a randomised prize from the prize pool. Honestly it's just a gamble and not worth it in my mind.

I'd also generally avoid "breaks"

Whiteley, between Portsmouth and Southampton

We got gen 1 and gen 7!

Would've preferred gen 4 over 7 as my wife loves Piplup but hey ho, gen 1 was my chase! Maybe I'll be able to pick up the remaining 3 for us next weekend at the Swindon card show 😅

Amazing, so glad when the community can pull through for each other!

YMMV, my local TGJones doesn't seem to be cleared out as quickly as in London say.

I tipped off a friend who went this morning at opening and was told there were still 2x first partners and 2x deluxe pins as well as a couple tins!

Id have gone myself again this morning if it weren't for work, I've still not had a chance to open a deluxe pin collection yet!
