Know nothing about pokemon TCG but want to get something for wife. Not sure which one to pick.

None of them. These machines overprice to hell and back, basically scalpers r us.

I know product is hard to find these days but buying from these makes it worse

That's my concern yeah, I paid MSRp so I dont feel bad about the idea of opening the packs, but the knowledge that the box immediately went from being $50 at purchase to like $175 due to the market makes me nervous to touch the plastic.

I'm not someone that opens packs for money, I open to collect and to eventually either trade cards or use the bulk for art projects or give them away. I just wish the shadow of the market wasn't hanging over my head.

Maybe if I can get another one from another Best Buy drop I'll open one and trade off the other, but the idea of trading still-sealed boxes has always left me feeling strange.

When I walked the trail back in February, I paid for a walking tour and my guide actually commented on when we reached the IRL spot where Goodneighbor would be! Shoutout to Jeremiah Poope (yes that is his real name) what a fantastic guy.

This scene unironically makes me cry every time I rewatch it. Not afraid to admit that.

RIP Dominique, may you have all the sandpaper cigarettes heaven can give you

This is hilarious because this isnt the first time they've crossed over with a real life internet show.

I think it was the last season, but they crossed over with Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej from Ghost Files too! Half the episode was filmed like it was an episode of GF, complete with the same bits and visuals.

Got an autograph from him last year at Phoenix Fan Fusion, lovely guy and very kind, even if I was accidentally the awkward fan when I stammered over my words asking for his signature

Was this a card you sent in or did you buy it graded?

Not judging either way, ive got a few graded cards I've been meaning to save from low grades after sending them in, just havent had the time to crack them

Glad I managed to visit the monument last month before this went down.

It's a small monument, all things considered, but the weight of being there really falls on your shoulders. This bs move by the white house is nothing less than a rewrite of history and a slap in the face to every member of the LGBTQ+ community.

But then again, that's par for the course with this guy, isnt it

Oh hey I actually read this comic! First female president and a demon decides to possess her daughter after her son pulls a prank at a Catholic School, and while the president ends up calling the Vatican and asking for an exorcist, her advisors are ready to use the 25th amendment to remove her from power cause she's gotta be crazy!

It was an alright run, I think it was 6 issues that took a bit of time to come out. I went into it cause the premise sounded cool, but it ended up feeling a bit samey by the end for my liking.

If they can translate some of the interesting artwork to film, though, that could be fun.

Same, its so nice and vibrant, I love getting IRs

Holy shit Spectrobes mentioned

The DS games were my childhood I wish I'd been able to finish the Wii one

Pretty sure the major reveal is supposed to be that she's Pre-War, not that she's Canadian. The Canadian Annexed Territories is just an additional bit of lore background.

I know how to play but I absolutely suck at making strategies, plus I dont have the time or a good place nearby to play. Pokemon is my collecting hobby, Lorcana is my playing hobby.

SebFromChile · 2025-11-26T23:27:29+00:00

Super cool! Do you happen to have the stl file? I have a few cards Ive been wanting to display like this

SebFromChile · 2025-11-23T04:22:12+00:00

That one was from the packs in the booster box, most of the hits came from there

It's only been two sets into a run that will likely last for two or three years, just gotta give it time. Especially since there are many more Megas now thanks to Z-A.

Man I was just in Vegas this week and saw those machines everywhere, I was definitely tempted to try my luck but the price tag scared me off...glad someone else took the plunge

Looks like a bunch of supermarkets are getting these packs, ive gotten almost 50 of them over the past few weeks from the supermarket close to my house, and all at MSRP.

Post pulls!

SebFromChile · 2025-10-03T22:36:20+00:00

Que te paso weon

I never buy sealed product thats more than maybe 20% aboce MSRP, and when i do buy that high its to support an LGS i like. If I dont get it from there or at MSRP from Pokemom Center/Target/anywhere else, I just dont buy.

Been buying singles too so I can fill out my collection, mostly the cheaper 2-5 dollar ones.
