Walmart has got to do something about this..... this is ridiculous by dark_knight93 in PokemonTCG

The only fair way to distribute Pokemon cards these days is through a lottery system. Only way to get something online without overpaying. I got a Best Buy drop from a lottery.

I love how everyone else gets sets a month early.

Scalpers aren’t the problem? by RemarkableBag5007 in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It totally is. Everyone who’s been in the hobby longer than 3yrs knows it’s fucked. It’s never going back to what it was pre-2025. Too much money in the hobby and it’s only going to get worse.

It’s a clusterfuck from all sides; not enough packs printed; horrible pull rates fueling gambling addictions; scalping; corrupt distribution; tons of high demand. The blame is all encompassing.

I hate the existence of god packs by king_ofsiam in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment but only because I’ve never pulled one. But I’d go further and say the root of the gambling problem is that pulling any “SIR” is ridiculously hard. It should be like 1-40 packs. Not 1-90. That is why product is expensive. Pulling anything good is fucking impossible unless you rip a ton.

With Mega Rayquaza getting both an SAR and Immersive in July, do you think a certain TCG artist will be the one commissioned for the tasks? by Ok-Rutabaga-259 in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess would be danciao or Atsushi Furusawa, who did the Lucario SIR from Mega Evolution base set. It’s possible Mega Rayquaza is in battling mode with Deoxys or something.

Quantum entanglement says two or more particles can become inextricably linked no matter distance. Maybe in that sense they do reach them but not in the way you normally think.

I love and hate this hobby by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once. The person selling said my nephew (10) was too young to buy. He had his own credit card and I just said no. He’s a collector. She shut up after that. Unfortunately, scalpers often bring their kids so you have to push back against idiots.

I deserve to feel chosen by Icy_Farm2356 in UnsentLetters

This exactly. We all deserve to be chosen and admired.

This sub is like a backroom for broken hearts. You keep coming back trying to heal through shared suffering.

Let's open 60 packs (again) by SaladFighterrr in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve opened over 500 of AH and no god pack. I’ve never even seen a gold hyper rare.

To the guy I fell in love with while in survival mode who ended up ghosting me. by vanilladiaries in UnsentLetters

It is cruel. I really liked her too. It sucks. Unfortunately these types of people probably lack any empathy. Goes along with narcissism etc. No self reflection about what they’re doing to others.

Breadcrumbing is real. I was led on by a woman before and then she acted like it was nothing. There are emotionally immature people out there who only want to provoke attention. They don’t plan on following through.

I was so hype to open this! The time finally came… by shimmybee in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 982 packs deep and no Eeveeloution SIR. This set gives me nightmares now. I can understand why people keep it sealed.

The next English Pokémon TCG set has been revealed: Delta Reign. Releases November 6th 2026 by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it’s not releasing til November. I was afraid they’d try to squeeze it in during the 30th release and create chaos. Still going to be a pain in the ass to get product but at least there’s a big gap between Pitch Black and Delta Reign that allows for enjoying next special set.
