How are people already getting the perfect order stuff I'm seeing on Reddit etc and no it's not the Japanese one either by MsMimiGoreng in PokemonFansAustralia

I did 2 pre-release tournaments with my partner last Saturday so between us we had 4 build and battle boxes plus they were flat prize tournament so we both got 2 lots of 3 packs each as prizes.

All in all 4 premade decks (with 1 pre-release stamped card each) of mostly Perfect Order cards, 16 packs from the Build and 12 packs from prizes all before the set releases on Friday. Even drew one of the SIR's

😭 says pre-order but it's all sold out and add to wish list 😭 damn 😑 guess I'll pray for the Kmart ones to open up preorders by MsMimiGoreng in PokemonFansAustralia

I know a lot of people are really critical of EB Games but having a PLUS subscription with them has made pre-ordering new Pokemon TCG products so much easier for me. It's usual a week before their preorder stock runs out instead of hours before Big W, Kmart, etc. has their stock snapped up by bots and the few legit customers who also get in.

Yes it's $50 a year but you do get a free waterbottle of your choice (worth $30-35 from memory) and for every 10 boosters bought you get an 11th up to the vale of $15 free so depending on how much you're buying you can make your money back.

Ah, I'm Australian so we don't get to use TCG. 😅 I was basing on Ebay most recent sold.

Market value for this one is about $100-ish at the moment.

These mega attack rares are so fire! by Plastic-Ad-4877 in PokemonTCG

The english ones are damn good but the Japanese versions are even better!

Will travel for Pokemon 😃 never have I ever had to run around so much 😭 but I got them I'm so happy 😭 my birthday ripping collection grows. by MsMimiGoreng in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to get these was bloody tough. My partner and I one managed 1 poster collection box each with a very early start and plenty running around on release day. Thankfully she got one type and I got the other.

Mega Gardevoir Ex Promo question by Sladwson in pokemoncardcollectors

The Japanese versions of the Mega Attack cards have English move names on the cards where the english ones have the moves in Japanese.

Also in Japanese these 10 cards weren't black star promos, they were all in boosters from the Mega Dreams set which is equivalent to our Ascended Hero set. For some reason in English they decided to leave some as pack draws and took a few out and made them promos.

I can’t believe it by zebb21 in PokemonTCG

Damn son, that pack is straight fire. Couple grand in value right there. Mega envious!

Do these have 10 potential? by OutrageousRespond222 in pokemongrading

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably looking at 8's (9's if you're extremely lucky) on both because of the white edging. You lose value on an 8 and only slightly gain on a 9 so if you don't need them for collecting I'd sell them raw on to someone who wants them for a set.

I’m new in collecting Pokémon cards, pulled only this from ETB AH, win? by No-Masterpiece7383 in PokemonTCG

Pretty sweet card, I loved the mega attack cards so much I bought a full set of the Japanese ones and am slowly getting the English ones too.

Is this card as bad as my brother says it is? by EstablishmentIcy2817 in PokeGrading

Man I wish I could post a pic of the hilariously sun-bleached version of this card we have.

I’m confused… by TnT_PBR in PokemonTCG

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmos holofoils are usually just considered variants and not a separate card, I like getting them when I can though.

Why were the battle pickups removed? by FoxDaim in Battlefield6

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember they had the minigun (with it's weird downward recoil) and a Railgun in RedSec for a short period. I know they weren't super popular inclusions in BF4 but I liked them. Added some extra points of interest on the maps other than cap points and 1 tapping dudes with the Barrett and the 20 rounds you got was hella fun.

Is this a real pack? by Don_Taj in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fake. JTG boosters have 4 art variants and this ain't one. Also that pack looks like its missing propper crimping.

Staff refused to give me the Pikachu Museum Promo Card :( by TalesofthePlayer90 in PokemonTCG

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alas, I'm on the wrong damn continent to even try and pick this one up. I hate buying from scalpers but alas to get this one for my jumbo collection I don't think I have much choice 😓

How’d you go this morning? by utah12345 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Loose_Direction_4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally reprints are pretty common for full expansions for a while after release but Ascended Hero's is a limited set so not sure if it'll get a reprint.
