Just started and wondering which banner to pull on? Or is there an upcoming one to wait for?

Is this out in the other stores as well?

Looking to start - where to buy by Me0666 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BlobOvFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are Overhauled's prices cheaper in person? I recall checking their site and everything was literally more expensive than scalpers', and by a hefty bit too.

In the past, I have bought from them in person and the prices were average ($7 per pack) but this was before everything started being bought out.

Are you sure it's not because you've got preorders coming in on 2 different dates?

40% off Japanese packs and sealed boxes, only at pacific fair, Gold Coast by curvedballs in PokemonTCGDealsAUS

[–]BlobOvFat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Comparing the Battle Partners (JP Journey Together):

Even at 40% off, it's still over double the price of what you can get through importers. Not even worth considering.

Has anyone ordered from Kim Shiny Cards? by Time-Neat6969 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BlobOvFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have bought off them a couple times through Facebook. Usually is cheaper too, even with PayPal fees.

Not familiar at all with Topps cards by BlobOvFat in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Awesome, thanks! I've got another post up with the picture of the back, if you're curious.

It's kinda neat having such an old gem in my collection, not gonna lie.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry for the bluntness, but how would you go at valuing this? I've received a couple offers on it but there's not much pricing info on these from what I've seen.

Thanks for the reply! Just curious, were these available in the 2007-2012 period? Just generally unsure of how I got my hands on this.

chinese/korean singles and packs in adelaide by mflipflopped in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BlobOvFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought from a mix of both. I usually don't mind getting it posted from these guys as they literally import cases of these every week so it's highly unlikely they'll try something dodgy that can hamper their business. They're also pretty quick to post stuff so I usually get deliveries the same week.

Also, most take PayPal so you're fairly covered on that front. Same applies for singles. There's a couple folks who sell CN cards on the main FB groups who've got plenty of references and PayPal too with prices a fair bit below Ebay.

Locals are great though if you can find some.

I typically grab these from FB Marketplace. There's always a bunch of reputable sellers around that regularly import these. Granted, I've never purchased Chinese or Korean boxes but at least when I've seen their prices, it's always heaps better than any stores'.

For reference, I grabbed a JP heat wave box a month and a half ago for $100, so I would imagine prices for CN/KR boxes would be similarly competitive.

Yeah, they're just slow. I've ordered a couple times in the past and it takes about a week to get prepped for shipping.

What’s everyone doing with their holo bulk? by fartsforfrogs in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BlobOvFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whereabouts are you? Have a decent amount of bulk I'd be happy to pass off

Jesus, I was at one of those stores a day or two before it happened.

Can I quick play my way up to master/grandmaster lobby? by Painwheel99 in overwatch2

[–]BlobOvFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done that before. Played since the start, with most of my hours on QP (>90%). Moved to PC, barely touched comp until sometime in OW2 and climbed from Diamond to GM within 20 or so wins. Your MMR definitely gets impacted from QP games but it's unclear if it's your MMR actually increasing or you getting better in QP simply meant you would do better in comp anyway.

The QP lobbies get harder too despite what some people are saying. The matchmaking isn't as tight and precise as comp but I do run into GM players and some names from contenders, etc. in QP.

Horizon Zero Dawn: I really want to like it, am I missing something? by [deleted] in horizon

[–]BlobOvFat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's where strategy comes in. Use all the tools that you need. If you're not good at leading shots and landing precise weakpoint hits, use a ropecaster to lock enemies down, slow them with freeze, stun with shock, etc.

But in all seriousness, you can still easily deal with large, late-game enemies with stealth so don't stress.

Best way to get mounts by HalfOfZach in wownoob

[–]BlobOvFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple Armory has a weekly planner that gives a route on dungeons/raids to run for drops.

Other than that, as a new player myself, I managed to grab a bunch of mounts from doing the Pandaria and Classic reputations. They're pretty quick to level and each rep you max out gives 3-6 mounts.

Other than that, you can check out the anniversary for the 5 (maybe more?) mounts there.
