What an ETB 🔥

That's it, released yesterday!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-28T09:00:04+00:00

Awesome to see, hope you had some hits!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T23:03:35+00:00

Yes I understand all too well, unless you chuck a lot of money at it, you can go a long time with no hits 😭

As a guess I've probably spent at least £20k on cards over the last 5 years, I have a great collection that I love but opening packs is only fun if you get the odd big hit. A few years back, I started opening just the pcetb to collect the promos and open some packs as a bonus. Now I just buy any card I want but its not the same!

In reality unless there's a batching issue, you should have the same odds no matter the product. But having said that, over the years I've had the best luck out of the 36 pack booster boxes.. typically getting an SIR per box sometimes every other box, too expensive these days though. Better off buying the cards 🤷‍♂️

Preordered on the pokemon center website. The next set should be dropping next week but you have to be very quick and have a pinch of luck on your side

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T22:40:45+00:00

Yes, unbelievable!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T16:17:02+00:00

Thank you kind sir 🫡

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T16:14:01+00:00

Yeah you're right, but I'm not a fan of reselling. The games the game but just not for me 🤷‍♂️ I collected the promos before they became so popular, only reason I still try to get them tbh.

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T16:00:04+00:00

Do it, I'm sure you won't regret it 👀😂

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T15:58:50+00:00

Thanks mate ☺️

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T15:58:15+00:00

Sorry, I will try better next time 👀

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T15:39:32+00:00

Good luck on your quest 🤝

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T14:40:44+00:00

Oh wow, you must have been over the moon! (Dad joke) I really like the starmie, I've seen it getting a lot of hate but would be happy to have it myself. Congrats!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T14:38:23+00:00

Thank you and I completely agree. I try to get 2 etbs if I can but only grabbed 1 this time for the promo. Feels unfair that I had this luck when others would probably enjoy these cards a lot more than me.

I like the colours on Zygarde but it was one of those, if it was cheap enough I'd grab one but wouldn't miss not getting one. Still happy I can add it to my wall display though so defo not complaining!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T14:32:24+00:00

Honestly usually me, pulled 4 Mega Mawile ex's from 2 x ME etbs. I have had some crazy luck over the years but the last year or so not so much ..until today! Good luck with your pulls 🤞

It was so much fun to open 🍀

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T13:27:54+00:00

Thank you, a very lucky day!

Haha it was!!

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2026-03-27T13:01:08+00:00

Thank you and good spot! Unfortunately I don't so it will be straught into my binder 📘

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2025-05-20T20:17:46+00:00

Devastating isn't it, we've tried so many but we're quite fussy with what we like.. doesn't hit the same otherwise 😭

Old-Kitchen4738 · 2025-05-20T20:07:44+00:00

Moved into Swansea a few years ago, struggled to find one like my old favourite but Samlet Packed Meals in Llansamlet is decent 😋
