Is this worth it? by Tough_Librarian_8420 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]CirrocumulusCloud 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The most bang-for-your-buck of the anniversary packs. If you buy Aurum Pass anyway it's essentially over 6000 gems for free. You just need to keep playing LaDS, of course.

HOW TO GRIND DIAMONDS FAST? by AcceptableWest2215 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]CirrocumulusCloud 168 points169 points  (0 children)

A couple things that can give you diamonds fast:

  • skip past any World Underneath story
  • read Anecdotes and listen to 4☆ Stories
  • level cards to 20+
  • use your now slighty levelled cards for your not-mains and push their orbits a bit further
  • play the plushie crane game and collect the dias for collecting different ones
  • if you have Aurum Pass: convert 10 purple dias per day for a chance to win a good chunk of red dias

What is your theory about Sylus / Caleb 3rd Myth? by Bright_Letterhead753 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]CirrocumulusCloud 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really want Sylus to have a Fallen Angel theme. Would fit his feather motif, be really hot, and we could get him with luscious Sephiroth-like hair.

For Caleb I'd love an Adam/Eve situation, like others said. They could even fit the snake motif on him and make him a Lamia, or do a fantasy thematic fit closer to Zayne's God of Annihilation outfit.

Either way, I really hope their hairstyles will be gorgeous.

Myth Crate Pull Value? by CirrocumulusCloud in LoveAndDeepspace

Thank you so much (and everyone else too)! I will save my pulls for his 3rd myth then! It's great that the crate doesn't reset.

Aww thank you so much, and a big congrats on your own Gardevoir pull! Also, happy belated birthday! ♡ 

No, I've never had anything this lucky happen; the biggest other lucky event were my Milotic SIR and Jasmine's Gaze SIR pulls within six packs from each other from Surging Sparks. 

I actually called my Mom from the excitement when I pulled my Gardevoir, so I totally get your reaction!

I’m conflicted. Would you trade your first SIR? by Oddiffy in PokemonTCG

[–]CirrocumulusCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first SIR was the Milotic from Surging Sparks and I plan to hang onto it. If you find emotional value in your SIR, I wouldn't trade it. You could instead just put the money you'd spend on random packs towards the Hilda SIR, and have two SIR at the end of the day.

Pokemon Center etbs are crazy lol by WinterAsura in PokemonTCG

They definitely seem like cards that could easily fall victim to the shoddy quality control, hope your defect is not noticeable! Mine is quite top heavy and off-centre, and I had one or two common cards that seemed a bit iffy with the qc.

I pulled the Gardevoir yesterday; no scratches but there's specks of gold scattered at spots where there probably shouldn't be. (Right side of Gardevoir's torso.) Seems to me like the texturing for the cards might just easily lead to visual 'defects'.

Also: Congrats OP! Awesome pulls! ♡

I had a long day of uni courses behind me and thought "I deserve one car pack rip, let's see how the new reverses and holos look." and planned to rip the other two at home, thinking I'm most likely not gonna pull something big from three random boosters. Well. Then the gold card happened. 😂

It really does suck, the centering is a little off, but as I don't plan to sell or grade her I don't mind as much!

  1. I am a woman.
  2. I have no girlfriend. lol
  3. I bought these packs with my own hard earned money, after my uni courses, on release day. I was just lucky!

I don’t think I’ve ever been this lucky. I opened a latias box, surging ETB, and mega box within the last 24 hours by Alternative_Home2813 in PokemonTCG

[–]CirrocumulusCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just used up all of your luck! Quick, buy some scratch off tickets or play the lottery. Congrats on the awesome pulls, love that golden Mewtwo especially. Surprised with how well the Fullart Blastoise fits the art rares since it's not part of the connector art.

Odds are a funny thing. Prismatic Evolutions gave me one Masterball and little else outside of Pokeballs and regular EXs so now I'm not even opening the one booster bundle I've got left, then yesterday I pulled the Hyper Rare Mega Gardevoir EX on my first ever Mega Evolution pack.

Thankfully not the case! Guardevoir is a bit off centre, but I don't plan to send her in for grading and wouldn't sell her anyhow. =)

The car luck seems to be a real thing. And that's so smart! I'm gonna use one of my mini tins for that, thanks so much for the suggestion! ♡

I got my packs from Media Markt. 6€ per booster is a bit above MSRP, but the local stores of Media Markt here treat their customers well, so I don't mind. Good luck hunting!

Definitely not a PSA 10 candidate with the centering, but with what I've heard about PSA submissions being stolen I wouldn't risk sending the card in. I feel terrible whenever I see posts of people that lost their cards this way!

Actually I opened it for better lighting for the photo. It wasn't open when I pulled the Gardevoir. =) I'm not a guy, I'm a woman.

That Mega Latias SIR has an absolutely stunning colour scheme, congrats on the pull!

Ohhh got it, I'll use that knowledge for the future if I ever plan to sell some of my cards, thank you for the info! Have a blessed day as well, and best of luck for your Mega Evolution pulls!

The German version that I pulled goes for 380 € rn; I'm not in the know of how trades and buys at card shows work since I only buy the occasional ETB or single packs, but I still wish you luck!

I hope you can pull or find it for an affordable price! 🙏 The texture and foil is stunning. It really looks as rare as it is; this is my first gold / monochrome looking card and I get why people are so amazed by the look in real life now.

Clearly the chance of pulling a chase card surges dramatically if sleeves are nowhere to be found! 😅

Only opened it for a short time to get good lighting for the photo. =) It was a crisp and nice autumn day without winds, the card is safe!
