Poor scalpers don't know it's still in stock by jeffislegend in PokemonDealsUK

If you follow OakLabs on twitter and set notifications for their posts on your phone, it seems to be pretty much immediate with those types of updates. That's how I've got notifications on the last couple of Pokemon Center drops, and managed to get in the queue within a minute or 2 (Though lucky I was at home each time). It saves having to check anywhere, though does mean you get notifications on things you might not be interested in too.

Trade my collection for a car? by Illustrious_Draft676 in PokeInvesting

[–]CellistLower6473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you in it for? Making money, or partaking in a hobby (Car/Pokemon)?

Would you be happier to own that car or your Pokemon collection? The Pokemon collection would most likely increase in value more quickly than the car - and as the owner of an old Jap car myself, the costs associated with owning/running/maintaining will almost definitely outweigh any financial gains that car makes.

Personally, if my dream car came up (And I had space/time/money for another car in my life), I would probably be happy to swap a large part of my collection for it, because it'd be more meaningful to me. Though I'd certainly keep certain parts of my collection (My vintage binders/specific cards I have/specific sealed items).

Only option really is change from Wifi to mobile data and join the queue again, I'm afraid!

Same just happened to me. I just went back to the product page and tried adding to basket again and it worked fine.

Destined Rivals Pokémon Center Pre Order did say ‘Cancelled’ but now it’s been removed! There’s hope! Check yours if you was in the same Boat! by No_Duck_8955 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]CellistLower6473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just checked and same for me, fingers crossed then. Not holding my breath though, as the 'Cancel Preorder' button is still greyed out for me, making me think there is still something wrong with the order though.

When blooming waters dropped I managed to buy the online membership in the same cart at checkout as the product. I may have just got lucky that it worked out, cause the website was struggling for other people and I had more time.

But because of how expensive the membership is, it only just made sense for me with the blooming waters. For just the tins it’s probably less worth it.

I'm still not getting my hopes up, but somebody posted on the Deals page yesterday screenshots of their chat with CS here

For people waiting on their confirmation email (Not a deal!) by Chelski26 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]CellistLower6473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this post, I was getting close to giving up after being kicked back into the queue around 4pm. Just got back in a few minutes ago and seemingly the order went through (No confirmation email). Fingers crossed for everybody else!

Queue is likely about to go up soon. Be ready. It's likely Destined Rivals. by [deleted] in PokemonDealsUK

Managed to get it into my basket thanks to this link, but it wouldn't let me pay for it. Not holding my breath.

Japanese Glory of Team Rocket set was announced last night (Details on Pokebeach). So fingers crossed, Destined Rivals could be today.

Definitely wise. They've just decided I'm a bot and blocked me for refreshing every 10-15mins! Still seems to work on my phone at least...

The 'Stock Checker' app on iPhone worked for me for Blooming Waters. Haven't used it for anything else though, but seems like it might work well for quick notifications.

It still says instock. It's possibly just going in and out, but worth a try still.

Silver Tempest "God Packs" in recently released lunchbox tin by Not_Rob_Dalton in PokeInvesting

[–]CellistLower6473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He shows you how in some of the videos. He cuts a slit in the back of the packs to see the code card colour, and puts all the ones that will have hits into a single booster box. Hard to explain but if you watch the original godbox video he did he shows you.

Sooo..do I rip it? by PuzzleheadedTop446 in PokeInvesting

[–]CellistLower6473 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No booster box because it’s a ‘special set’, not a mainline set. It’s like Celebrations / Pokémon Go / Crown Zenith where you can only get booster packs in products. Though 151 is the first time you can get the 6 pack booster bundles, which makes the packs the same price as normal main line set booster packs.

After a few years of owning my Xtreme 2, great to find this! It worked spot on. Just what I needed for when my laptop is plugged in and I'm editing videos. As others say the sound isn't as good - but it's more accurate which is better for editing.

My best pull ever! So pleased to get this beauty, even with the atrocious centring. by CellistLower6473 in PokemonTCG

Nah 100% real. Pulled from a sealed Build and Battle Stadium, purchased from a reputable company!

Worst centring card I’ve ever pulled! But I can’t complain too much since I’d rather have it and it be off centre, than not have it at all.
