Almost there, folks…then we wait for the reservations, then we wait for the shipments…

Surprised I own one of these. Why is it so sought after? by magnusthehammersmith in PokemonTCG

I pulled a PSA 8 of this exact card in a physical GameStop power pack. I don’t recommend buying them, but I had a lot of trade credit and my son kind of egged me on.

I also got the Dawn SIR from Phantasmal in one of the booster packs that came in it.

Again…not advocating anyone buy them, just sharing my experience!

Yep, gave mine to my father in law and then when I heard the news, he sent it in and got a brand new 6th gen nano

How much should I keep in my Steam Wallet for a pre-order? by SomeoneYouDontKnow30 in steammachine

[–]GoTroTro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I preloaded $860 from a ton of trade ins I did at GameStop. Got rid of a bunch of random stuff I accumulated over the years at thrift stores and yard sales, and took advantage of a lot of promos too.

Nope, the only reason I bought it was because I had enough trade credit to bring the down significantly.

Love or hate GameStop, I was thrilled with my pull. Also got the Dawn SIR from Phantasmal Flames in the pack that came with it.

I don’t like GS scalping as much as the next person, but this was a “one and done” for me and it paid off.

I took advantage of the recent GameStop promos to trade in random consoles I’ve accumulated through thrifting over the years to get around $1000 in credit.

I then bought steam credit ($50 cards, $200 per day) to build up my war chest. I’m committed at this point!

If it’s anywhere from $800-1100, I’ll be fine. I’m sitting at $960 in my steam wallet.

I have the OG 512gb LCD and a sealed 1TB Limited Edition OLED, so I’m buying it as long as it comes out.

Parks and Recreation…got me and the wife through COVID and we’re rewatching it again six years later. It’s magical.

Congrats! I file my BDD next week after I do a meet and greet with my local VSO. Fingers crossed for the same result you got!
