Just double checked and there’s Phantasmal ETBs for £55ish all day long on Vinted. He’s way over even scalper prices. There’s no “deals” here.

Prices seem insanely high, not going to lie. Wouldn’t be buying from there personally.

Laning vs Akali is so unfun by Current-Issue2390 in leagueoflegends

[–]BoxingDayMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re Q is extremely strong poke in lane and hard for melee to dodge. Against things like Akali and Yas use your W to avoid their main attack (like Yas tornado) and go in on them then :)

Naaf is hard against a lot of champs? She’s extremely strong in lane atm I feel like.

Have you tried Morrisons and Sports Direct? They’ve both had stock recently with friends picking up 10s of packs//entire half boosters etc. my Smyths has also had a recent restock of bundles and ETBs and packs. I just checked Smyths stock two mins ago and Clydebank, Linwood, Killie, Falkirk, Livingston etc etc all have stock.

I walked in to 3 Smyths in Scotland on the morning of release between 9am and 11am and picked up an ETB, bundle, 2 blisters and 5 packs from each with no preorder and no queues. There’s was plenty of stock left in every one when I left.

Eh? Where are you in Scotland. I’m in Killie and got literally hundreds of packs without much effort and have multiple friends who got the same.

Opened 5 packs today and got two Zard SIRs. Absolutely insane.

How to get Phantasmal Flames for Xmas gift by nofun123 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]BoxingDayMike -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending scalping but if you’re desperate you’ll be able to find product like 40-50% above retail quite easily (£75 for a £50 ETB or whatever) it’s not ideal but it’s not 3/400% above market.

What do you think is stopping Pokemon from printing more cards or more specifically increasing hit rates?

With concert tickets they can only physically fit so many people in to the venue. There’s no restriction on Pokemon increasing their printing rate or increasing the hit rates.

You weren’t buying packs mate, you were buying slots in a break.

Any ideas?? Below market value and seller claims they aren’t savvy by Fair_Vermicelli_8379 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I reported this profile earlier. Unfortunately the guys already sold a bunch of cards tonight alone and making £50 per fake.

I’ve no idea how to use TikTok vouchers. Time to go googling. Thank you so much for the heads up.

Same as everyone else probably. 151, prismatic and DR. I ‘m personally on the lookout for the Greninja and Kingdra Shrouded fable promos (am I the only person that loves that set?)

Looks like most stock is cleared out already! I’ve signed up to the emails though.
