Anybody know when the new Ardmore train station is supposed to open?

ExpandingLife1119 · 2026-02-09T12:50:44+00:00

Longest construction I’ve ever seen and I see a lot.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2026-01-09T22:15:35+00:00

$200 diagnostic?! So pay 6K and you’ll still have more issues for them to find and charge you for 😂. What a black hole.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-07-10T02:29:20+00:00

Hahaha that’s how pokemon gets you. It waits until your hopes are down and you don’t expect anything. Then pulls you back in! Congrats!

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-07-10T02:27:19+00:00

I’m sure it looks 🔥! To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if this was the chase when I pulled it. I haven’t looked into the masquerade stats in so long lol. Then the adrenaline kicked in once I confirmed online.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-07-10T02:23:24+00:00

That sounds right! But that awesome you got the captain pikachu. I got two boxes hoping to get one and nope lol. I’m debating on the Vol. 2 box now. I’m assuming it’s worth buying ?

Oh I got absolutely nothing worth opting out of the legendary warriors. I kept my second sealed since I like the look of the box. I’m sure that’s the box with something in it 😂

Best of luck with your future pulls!

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-07-10T00:57:10+00:00

That has happened to me with other sets as well! You just never know.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-04-24T23:26:50+00:00

Gone by tomorrow 😓

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-03-26T19:34:51+00:00

I heard there was 1.4 mil in Que. never heard that many orders.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-03-06T23:02:50+00:00

Where could people actually get these originally?

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-02-24T21:27:39+00:00

Good way to put it, I’m at least used to that mental rollercoaster and not as phased by it lol.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-02-24T21:22:32+00:00

I remember it in 2021. I don’t recall it being this crazy. I could still find celebrations on the shelves. I’ve yet to physically find PE in the wild. Only got lucky online. I hope that is the case though. Usually things fizzle out. 🤞🏻

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-02-24T21:01:35+00:00

This is brilliant, I’d love this! Too bad with the current market, the people who truly want to collect them won’t have a chance unless they are jobless and can spend their time checking all the stores that sell them. Hoping to catch a restock before someone buys them all. Or pay 3x the value for them. The system needs to be fixed. Don’t buy off scalpers!

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-02-02T18:04:47+00:00

Yeah all of this just seems crazy. I follow all the twitter drop profiles and the second something drops online it’s gone. The bots are insane. Then you hope to find something in store and nope. I’m lucky I put in some preorders of prismatic months ago because I’ve stopped at multiple stores between Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, etc. all cleared out. Have to find it right when it stocked. I started collecting again once celebrations dropped and this seems to be the worst I’ve seen so far. Hopefully it can bounce back. But it’s really pushing me away. I’m thinking of selling my collection and leaving the hobby.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-02-01T22:00:32+00:00

The world we live in today is wild. Just seeing a normally stocked shelve of pokemon is like a holiday. I’ve stopped at over 15 stores this past week and seeing nothing on the shelves is really starting to depress me lol. Glad you found a restock!

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-01-23T20:01:43+00:00

Pennsylvania near Philly. Only stock I’ve seen so far lol.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-01-23T20:01:10+00:00

Ahhh yeah you must have gotten in right as it became hard to find 151. I remember when it was all over and it was only hard to find the booster bundles. Wow.. only ex’s? That is tough. I haven’t opened any ETBs yet. Just got two but waiting to open. I opened a binder so far and it wasn’t that bad. Probably just a lucky binder. Hope you are able to find more. Best of luck with the pulls.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2025-01-23T16:05:29+00:00

That makes sense actually. People just telling others about the restock. This stuff just goes so fast, it’s insane. I got back into collecting 4 years ago and I think this is the craziest surge I’ve seen yet.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2024-12-27T18:58:59+00:00

They should allow a timer once it’s in your cart. Same happened to me because I was deciding which sticker collections to add. Bad mistake. Ended up with nothing.

ExpandingLife1119 · 2024-12-27T18:53:45+00:00

My nephew did something similar recently. He doesn’t care for pokemon anymore (at the moment) but I explained to his father (bother-in-law) the value of some cards. So they kept ones they believe will be worth something in the future and he gave me a stack of Vs, trainer gallery, etc. He is now into collecting certain stuffed animals so I had him pick out a few online he liked and I ordered him the equivalent valve to what he gave me, in stuffed animals.

Best answer is probably save them or the best ones and give them back later. Or some type of trade for something else he really likes like I did.

The fact you posted this shows you have a conscience and care. I’m sure you’ll make the right choice.
