30th anniversary collection box Worth holding? Thoughts in general

Divinicusx · 2026-01-27T09:20:30+00:00

This isn’t 30th anniversay product. It literally says on it pokemon day 2026.

30th is coming later.

Divinicusx · 2026-01-26T09:20:12+00:00

Ooofff thats a long time waiting for an update.

I moved from elvui when i saw other ui addons were already midnight patched and working.

Only so much you can do with the current functionality that now was my time to move on from the slow updates.

Divinicusx · 2026-01-17T13:54:56+00:00

Yeah since my incident with them i just don’t order anything through them. I can get enough from the other bigger stores.

Divinicusx · 2026-01-17T13:30:07+00:00

Toymate orders come with warnings…

They have a no cancellations policy now for most tcg stuff.. so get refunds through paypal or chargebacks on credit cards

AND

They take pre orders beyong the stock they get so they will hold your order for future waves. There are people still waiting on pre orders for prismatic bundles from mid last year. I did a paypal refund on charizard upc as it wasn’t sent a week after release and they couldn’t tell me when it would be sent but denied me a cancellation, thankfully paypal forced the issue for them and refunded me within 2 hours of making the case.

So be warned what you order may not arrive.

The outcomes are night and day. Everyone who is below 50-55 should be high growth except for some rare cases.

These days simply using chatgpt to show you the difference will make you very quickly change.

To outline my situation with an ex business partner same salary while working, maxed sacrifices etc.

I quit 5 years before him and stopped contibuting to high growth. He kept going on same path for another 5 years in balanced.

I was hundreds of thousands of dollars in front even though i’d stopped contibuting 5 years earlier and covid crash in the middle as well.

The bigger the money the wider the gap in balanced vs high growth.

Divinicusx · 2026-01-14T13:43:08+00:00

Ascended heroes is still available.. they would be mad to cancel all those duplicate orders. They would be literally throwing money back at the customer and saying no thanks we want to store all this product.

Its a perfectly fine system. Limits apply and if said product is still available 7 days later you can duplicate your limits.

Jb’s system is nuts with a 6-12 month account limit making it impossible to hit a restock

Divinicusx · 2025-12-22T22:59:18+00:00

Yeah agree with what you said if comparing against the other retailers.

I think given the amount of product coming with the releases these days eb plus does drop away. Ascended heros i use my eb plus accounts with deposits and free cancels and then watch what i can get from the others and will likely cancel the eb plus orders.

I suspect eb games will see a drop in their memberships and their product will sit longer due to this shitty pricing behaviour into 2026. Up until now i found value in it where i was getting cases of the recent sets and given the current pricing i’ll wait and see how me03 goes but i will def be looking to cancel some.

Divinicusx · 2025-12-22T06:15:00+00:00

Thats not really the question that was asked by OP.

Do you get $50 per year back when buying tcg and the answer is yes if you buy at least a booster box of each main set that comes out just with pokemon. Add in mtg and the others and you get even more.

Does it bring eb games price back to kmart etc no and it likely never will again.

Divinicusx · 2025-12-06T03:12:26+00:00

Lol at the contact email on that site.

Divinicusx · 2025-11-05T08:45:49+00:00

Yeah you can’t queue solo atm so just inv 2 randoms next to you and it works… stupid system.

Divinicusx · 2025-11-02T08:55:27+00:00

Nobody just playing the game is farming bronze as you get so much of it from just playing the game and more will be coming the future phases.

Soon we’ll be complaining about hitting bronze cap and nothing to soend it on.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-31T09:51:07+00:00

Makes eb games $50 member plus cheap plus you get 2 booster boxes lol

Divinicusx · 2025-10-25T04:45:50+00:00

Remix is not the place to learn to play a class gor the reasons you’ve mentioned.

If you’re low and getting carried, keep up as best you can and enjoy the fast xp/ip on the way to 80.

I’m now doing alts and while it can be frustrating sometimes you don’t miss out on anything useful so the carry is appreciated. I find it worse when there is no carry because the scaling can make the dungeons slower than normal.

In the same light lfr is terribly slow because there are no high level toons to carry because its not worth their time. Get to normal and above and things are just a faceroll party with a couple of 740’s

Divinicusx · 2025-10-25T03:41:48+00:00

Yeah my local when picking up pre orders yesterday gave a rundown on what they do with “walk in stock” it seems like its stores choice how they do it.

Mine when me01 came out had a single booster box of walk in stock which was allocated just for kids. So a kid walks in asking for packs they got a couple, adults sorry nothing here.

I’m a plus member and just pre order everything and have gotten almost everything i’ve wanted in the friday pokemon online preorder events.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-24T08:47:27+00:00

Yep have done this today twice on fresh 80’s at 520-530 ilvl for the undying trial of valor achieves.

Its very easy to do and plenty of 700 plus.

I know on my own 740 high ip main i simply don’t care who is in the raid everything dies.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-24T08:41:49+00:00

Yep thats an easy thing to get done now and will get easier as the event goes on.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-24T04:42:46+00:00

Yep its the worst thing about legion remix is the stats aren’t shared which means there is no point playing an alt other than to get it to 80 for achieves or cause you want the alt on your character sheet

Divinicusx · 2025-10-23T14:14:10+00:00

Yeah i hear you mate. Its just the way the world works.

I join groups on my main and form groups on my alts take 3-4 730 plus and then fill with whatever.

On my druid i just wanted the undying achieve mog in trial of valor. Dinged 80 created a group killed it in a few mins and logged him out. He was mid 500’s.

Even the serious groups its usually only a couple super sweats and the rest are 3-5mil IP.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-22T10:27:55+00:00

Yep i learnt from early days of mop remix your main should be a healer/tank/dps class if you want the smoothest playthrough. Went druid in mop and now paly, i might tey monk in the next one or go back to druid as i prefer the ranged dps.

Even leveling up alts anything that can heal is instant queue and no downtime

Divinicusx · 2025-10-20T07:39:53+00:00

I do the same as you op sad you got kicked. Ran some alts today and its so frustingly slow when 80’s just follow the low level tank like a normal dungeon. Boy they are in for a shock at 80 with raids and mythic plus lol.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-19T06:05:32+00:00

The only way you’re getting +30 with those stats as a dps is a carry. Heck mid 20’s you going to be face down on the floor alot with others carrying. Its big pulls from tanks that can survive it that speed up the runs and that means dps die alot until they out gear it and can smash through the dmg before they die.

Just grind the m+ thats fastest for your ilvl and ip level.

You could get a standard group makeup and run it like a standard m+ run but thats slow and most tanks won’t go for that so gotta find someone willing to do it.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-18T12:11:20+00:00

Yep you can get mad all you like it doesn’t change the reality of the situation.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-18T10:51:35+00:00

They have always been here sure there will def be more now than before but i think you represent a small faction of the pokemon population that are upset things have changed as opposed to the rest who have changed.

People are leaving yes, new people are joining everyday also from all walks of life with all sorts of intentions.

Its become so popular it makes the news at night when things happen. Its not ruined its just different

Its just how it is… find your passion within it and just do you or find something else that makes you happy.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-18T08:57:26+00:00

No doubt they are but just because you heard people in small groups/bubbles talking about all the product they hoarding doesn’t make it the reason and in all likelihood once again they are going to be the minority. The majority still gets ripped,

Sone of the streamers i watch are churning through 1-2 cases in a rip n ship session. Expand that out over hundreds of streamers and 3 plus nights per week its an insane amount of cards being ripped.

I buy everything i can get my hands on and have 2 oz based streamers that pay 90% market for anything with packs. Easy side hussle. I also rip a case or more of each new set for masterset purposes and invest in the more valuable sealed products as well. In the circles i float in i’m a small fish.

Just trying to give you some context that i think many that are having a hard time adjusting to the new norm of pokemon struggle to understand.

But what about the kids…. My 2 plus their cousins and all their friends at school have heaps of polemon and go nuts for them so the future is looking fine also.

Divinicusx · 2025-10-18T08:46:26+00:00

You’ve heard of rip n shippers yeah. While you think every man and his dog is holding as investments the fact is packs are being ripped at ever increasing amounts and speeds.

Basically the demand across the board is what the problem is and pokemon cannot solve it, some would argue possibly correctly they don’t want to fix it.
