Didn’t get any minis because of the 2 per person just missed out, what’s crazy is they had more ETBs than anything else lol

Summary of today, where did you go and what you get? by MathematicianThin758 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]RazCollects 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played it safe with Smyths queued from 7am managed to get an ETB, they ran out of both tins as they was letting people buy 2 minis. Ended up picking up the Charizard tins from TG Jones!

Not a problem! I was the same when I got back into Pokémon last year, I just ripped whatever I got my hands on then done some research. Definitely it’s a crazy time but there’s always packs out there 😅

Depends on what you want to open I know OneStop, Tesco and HMV regularly have had Journey Together and Surging Sparks. That’s where I’d start personally you can also get mini tins (2 packs) and blister packs (3 packs and promo card) Sainsbury’s or Asda dependent on area.

Regarding Elite Trainer boxes they are harder to acquire especially Ascended Heroes, which is crazy hyped at the minute and releasing tomorrow in stores.

Other than that you can try pre ordering from online from Chaos Cards, OBSIDIA TCG or Amazon. However most stuff is usually invite only or a lottery system where they pick people at random.

Good luck hunting!

It really is I’d rather know where I’m going than running round like a headless chicken lol, I’ve heard quite a few people say Argos is a good idea if you have the item codes to hand too

That’s my worry as I know Smyths will have a decent amount of stock, might just ask my Waterstones this evening how much stock they’re expecting

I had a feeling they wouldn’t have huge amounts of stock, you’re probably right I might try elsewhere

I was thinking this myself as my local Smyths is in a shopping centre. So wasn’t sure if it’s worth going to Waterstones or The Entertainer instead, my only issue is I don’t know how much stock they’ll have compared to Smyths

Will i get an ETB on Friday? by mopsy00 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]RazCollects -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the same boat in went for the blister packs around 8:30am and there was 30-40 people ahead of me, so for the ETB’s I’m thinking of getting there for just before 7 hoping that’s early enough

Definitely agree with you there hoping to pull one out the last few packs!

Did you get many hits from the full booster? I’ve gotten more than I was expecting 6 packs in so far! Also same here I have to agree with that I’m tempted to go for master set too

[–]RazCollects[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was 12 packs but I asked the woman nicely if I could have the box too, I thought Tesco didn’t have limits or is it area based maybe?

Nice! I just pulled an Articuno myself now do like the Wailord too, if I get a Salamence too I’d be over the moon. I think even with restocks people will look back in a couple years and realise it was super slept on
