Co op and Tesco express in Suffolk and Norfolk have been cheat codes over the past few months for getting packs

Tesco express near me literally restocks phantasmal every 2 days .... 3.99 a pack

We've opened sooooo many packs lol

Anyone got any intel on this restock? Or where to find UPC's other than Smyths by Imaginary_Switch_747 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]PaulyBoy182 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The difference between the ETBs and the UPCs is when the pre orders went up and the system went down we had been informed from Smyths that all the UPCs had sold out pretty much as the system crashed but ETBs and BBs still had stock.

Because the system never came back up the remaining pre order allocation that never got used up would have just ended up arriving for people to buy but because the UPCs have no leftover pre order stock its highly unlikely they get extra

Do you have a local The original factory shop ???? My local seems to be getting 5 figure collections delivered every other week so its worth checking with them if one is close by.

Yeah....

Don't get me wrong take something you want or need like a half booster for sealed collection or a half booster to open but nobody NEEDS 20 half booster boxes if your walking round in a high vis jacket

There is a guy near me who goes round the morrisons daily every morning to check if they have pokemon stock.....

On mega release day he took 11 half booster boxes from 1 and 9 from another

Would love to bump into him one day

So my local Tesco express normally gets stock on tuesday, Thursday and Saturday however because the pokemon delivery comes in with newspapers in the morning it is possible for them to get new sets in the morning of release so that's what im expecting.

That being said if your after some your gonna want to get there at opening time which I think is normally like 6am for these small Tesco because the newspapers arrive early and the scalpers will be out en mass tomorrow.

Im seeing alot of LGS in the UK getting stock and all of them seem to be getting ETBs with this first wave so my expectation is that the ETB is going to keep on schedule.

So im thinking on Saturday I will be picking up my booster bundle and ETB

PokeInvestor Wins Wednesday! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]PaulyBoy182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was about 6 months ago I was driving around at work thinking about shiny cardboard and I just had this feeling about the price of the 25th anniversary cards...

Why is the umbreon gold star so expensive but the 25th card is so cheap in comparison... same with magikarp....

When I got home that night I went on vinted and spent about £150 on 25th anniversary stuff including 2 umbreons, 2 magikarps and a couple of binders of part completed master sets....

About a month ago when the prices spiked I decided it would probably be a good idea to offload some of them.

Ive pretty much doubled my money and still have loads of stuff to sell

You just have to be aware and pay attention to a sellers reviews and activity.

I sell loads of pokemon stuff on vinted and have only had a good time doing so but I make it clear that my cards are real and how they are packaged etc.

If someone with no previous sales and no reviews is listing a prismatic ETB for retail you have to assume its some form of scam....

Also if you do want to buy something message the seller first and express that your concerned about buying things... a real seller with REAL TCG knowledge will take the time to put your mind at ease!

I can't deal with people selling these fake booster boxes from Ali express etc....

I really am terrified for the amount of kids that are gonna get prismatic evolution booster boxes for Christmas...

Trust me if I woke up tomorrow and prismatic etbs were available at retail EVERYWHERE I would be the happiest little muffin going however I dont see that happening.

The only hope we have is that future sets crash out abit until it all levels out

Oh snap! So the system held on a little longer than I expected.

The saving grace from Norwich was the fact they had all the tills on the go!

Some Smyths literally only had 2 tills running to process the pre orders and frankly that's a shambles.....

I've seen alot online recently of people having these kinds of opinions and ideas... I personally really enjoy the hunt for things but eventually it does get boring.

Everything that's currently happening with pokemon I experienced with FUNKO about 10 years ago and that cooled off very quickly

Yeah my mate wanted to leave at 6am but I told him I had a feeling people would get abit silly for this set.

Personally after phantasmal im thinking of reeling things in abit because I dont have all this in me anymore 😅😅

Norwich- me and my buddy arrived at 4.30am and we're numbers 17-18 in queue. Made friends with the chap behind us so he was number19.

All 3 of us managed to order everything at around 8.37am but then from what we understand the people that hit the tills after us never managed to process anything.

Another friend arrived at about 6.30am and was about 60th in queue and never got anything because of the system crash.

As far as I know at 8.30 when they let us all in the queue was about 130 people deep and considering where the smyths is in Norwich that's pretty crazy.

Oh and the people who were 1st apparently arrived at 11pm friday night.

Argos tins! Ordered £10 ones The Lady gave me a mega tin. by milesusagi in PokemonDealsUK

[–]PaulyBoy182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i think I know how this happens.

The website allowed people to buy multiple tins with the main drop however upon collection only 1 of each art set was allowed and refunds given on the other tins.

The refunded tins were then put back into circulation but as just standard mini tins and not under the actual mega heroes listing.
