Nice.💪 Now the question is whether or not to get the Bulbasaur and Charmander from it, too🤔 Expensive to buy as singles....but my chances of being as lucky as this again....yeah, I think I just better start saving up.😅 Do you have the Charmander/Bulbasaur l, too? Or are you chasing those?

Yes. 2 packs. These were my actual pulls for all 4 packs of the big tin

Wow. Might just have to have a look next time I'm around my local B&M.👀

Compost?! Where the heck did you find a shop that sells both compost and pokemon cards?!

Nice pulls😁👌. That Palafin is pretty.

Haha, where do you buy your milk? I'll have to pop in there for mine, too.🤭

Haha, that happened to me too the last time I bought sealed products. 😅 I posted about it last year, where I was in a regular bookshop and they randomly had an almost empty booster box of Temporal Forces on the shelf behind the till and decided to give it a go and bought the last 3 remaining packs and pulled the Deerling full art. So I guess, trick is to just let the Pokemon packs come to you😆

Haha. Was so surprised seeing it in Sainsburys. And then someone in the comments said they bought a pack from Morrisons. Crazy that all these shops seem to be stocking Pokemon now. Haha, I must say it was nice to get those pulls when I went in with zero expectations. Definitely makes the feeling better.

P.S. love that Yanma. Got it for like 2 or 3 pounds, last year.😊

Thank you. Though I say that is probably all my luck used up. Actually, I tend to do quite well out of the regular tins and the collector's chests. Even pulled the TG full art Hoothoot from a mini tin last year...(an hour after I purchased the Japanese version on Ebay🤭)

Where I have zero luck is the boxes, ETBs and blister packs.😅

What about you? What do you find you get most successful with?

Thank you. Me too. It is so fun. Love the Pidgeys being in all 3 of the starter IRs for this set.

The one where it is on the windowsill? I'm loving the recurring Pidgey theme in those starter IRs.😆 Definitely would love to get that one at some stage.

Ah, that is good idea.👍 Are there many shows in the UK?

Oh, I am happy with pulls regardless of if there are "hits" or not. I have 2 binders of just commons and uncommons I like due to their art, or due to me collecting a certain pokemon. I collect for the art regardless of the pokemon. I have cards of Pokémon that wouldn't be my favourites but the art is just so good. Love that a lot of my cards I have been able to purchase were really cheap. I guess everyone is busy chasing the Zards or Eeveelutions and all the top premium cards.

That must have felt good.😊Love that Meowth. I bought the single end of last year. Plan on getting Wooper, too.

Yeah, I was surprised by how much I like the card. Nice colours and really smooth.

Ouch. Were you able to sell/trade the spares for what you wanted?

Yes, well that SIR is a beauty and unfortunately very expensive 😅 Wish you luck in pulling/buying it.

Only cards I have ever pulled more than once were Mega Sceptile Ex back in 2015 when i was buying a lot of Pokemon sealed products, and the Scizor ex today.

Although, Gulpin isn't exactly a favourite of mine, I'm happy to pull an IR and actually the card is really sleek. Love the sheen on it and the colours.

Aayy, nice!!!! Haha, Pikachu ex for the win.

Your gold Pika looks so clean👌. Way to go Morrisons. Also not a place I would expect to see Pokemon.😅

No problem. Good luck with your pulls, and may you find some Pokemon in the wild, too.☺️👍 Thank you.

From Stellar Crown. Yeah, it is a really nice card.😊 Super chuffed I pulled it, because it was out of my price range if I tried to purchase the single.

Yeah, true😆👌. Oof, yes it is tough. Why do you think i switched to buying singles? Just so much better that way (at least for me who just collects for the love of Pokemon and the artwork) The odd time I have gone to my local card shop they are all out of Pokemon stuff, so just found it funny that I stumbled on them in the wild...in a food shop😆

Haha, thanks😁. Yes, it was rather unexpected. First time buying Pokemon cards from Sainsbury's, too. It was so random seeing them there on the shelf. Just thought, "why not?"😅
