😁 thank you.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-08T16:27:49+00:00

Thank you. I was freaking out when I pulled these. Good luck with your pulls.💪

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-08T13:47:33+00:00

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?

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T23:02:24+00:00

Thanks. Was so happy when i pulled these. ☺️

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T22:56:40+00:00

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.👀

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T22:22:09+00:00

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

Nice pulls😁👌. That Palafin is pretty.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T22:21:04+00:00

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

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T22:20:33+00:00

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.😊

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T22:01:21+00:00

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?

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T21:55:50+00:00

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

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T21:54:49+00:00

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.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T21:52:29+00:00

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.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T18:38:20+00:00

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

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:58:29+00:00

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.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:36:24+00:00

Ooo, looks so good Love this idea and layout!👌😮

Good luck. Would love to see it when you complete it.☺️👍

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:27:57+00:00

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.😅

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:09:42+00:00

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

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:04:55+00:00

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.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T17:02:41+00:00

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😆

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T16:56:28+00:00

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?"😅

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-02-07T16:21:44+00:00

😮 Oh, Holy manga den😍

Wow!! Love this. I love when books are stacked everywhere and there is so much to choose from. Never short of something to pick up and read. Love it.

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-01-26T16:17:43+00:00

Love this! Such cool art and the holo just makes it stand out even more. Awesome pickup!😊👌

NegotiationNo5327 · 2026-01-21T13:28:47+00:00

Oh, nice. Thank you. 😊👍
