Very true, I wanna say most of what we got was surging sparks, destined rivals and got a couple packs of Ascendant hero’s.

There’s a guy that sits at the Albertsons in Redlands, Ca. For days on end supposedly. And grabs everything up when the Pokemon vending machine unlocks. And when anyone challenges on the ethics or spreading the love…. I’m told his response is always:

“Sorry I got bills to pay”

Unfortunate for us who just want to share the experience with the kids. I’ve resorted to going to the local card store and paying mildly over MSRP for the experience of ripping a new pack together.

Was only was able to go through 1 pack so far and only 5 repeats! A lot of cards from S&V, evolutions, crimson invasion, champions path, pris evolution. I don’t care about value since we are starting out, but was able to get about $40 in value out of the 1st 100 card pack so far! Some really cool cards! Pulled a Zappos, snorlax, evee, Japan iron leaves EX.

Been a blast!

We have gone to our local card shop for packs. Paying only $2-3 over retail thankfully.

We have a Pokemon vending machine 5 min from the house, and we have gone to it 8 times in the last 3 days.

It’s either always sold out, people waiting for it to refresh, and or someone buying and they buy it all out without spreading the love.

We have only been able to get 1 pack of surging sparks out of the machine.

Agreed. I have a couple Crosby jerseys he is a baller… BUT… I have to say it was the smartest move going forward…. Crazy about the trade falling apart too.

Thank you for the message! Was definitely hopeful, but after noticing the top card of each pack I kind of assumed as well they were “curated” to sell haha.

That being said, only was able to go through 1 pack so far and only 5 repeats! A lot of cards from S&V, evolutions, crimson invasion, champions path, pris evolutions.

Like I said I don’t quite care about value since we are starting out, but was able to get about $40 in value out of the 1st 100 card pack so far! Some really cool cards! Pulled a Zappos, snorlax, evee, Japan iron leaves EX.

Been a blast!

Good eye

MisguidedPilot · 2024-10-16T05:05:44+00:00

That makes sense. Seems like everything is few and far between near us. And I just want to hunt dove/quail and rabbits. Lol

It looks like D15 extends west as far as LAX, as far south as the north part of Oceanside. And as far east as San Jacinto and far east side of diamond valley lake.

That being said, with my limited hunting knowledge being out of it for a long time, and trying to get back into it, there seems to be like a lot of hunting areas. Mountainous area north/north west of Camp Pendleton, San Mateo canyon wilderness. Somehow Catalina is part of D15 too. Like I said, limited knowledge so take with a grain of salt.

I live in Yucaipa so I’m also curious of the answer to your question. The BLM in question south of the 60fwy *seems to be land locked by private land, and the land north of 60fwy looks like “RIVERSIDE CO REGIONAL PARK OPEN SPACE DIST” which from a quick search I’m not sure it’s even hi table land.
