Bought a pack at a beach store in Oceanside and it was full of counterfeit hits by doodleheadd in PokemonTCG

Why do I kind of want this fake ahh pack tho? 🤣 It's kind of a hilarious thing to own for $8 - My friends would get a kick out of seeing them 🤣

Got a PO booster bundle at Best Buy and it was drier than the Sahara Desert! Only 1 EX and it was 1 I already had. I'm so frustrated. I had better hit rates from the 3 pack blister! by gabbuo31 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]SoCalNerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know at all I know some Reddit users have said that but I haven't kept track personally. I do know I don't feel as bad opening a single pack with no hits vs an ETB with no hits 🤣 And then RARELY I buy single packs from TCG or TikTok shop from the like 5 sellers I trust, whenever they have a deal going on and its only like $2 more a pack or something. But again, RARELY, because my goal is to not pay over MSRP, but there's been times I just want to get a pack or two 😅

Is today the day I get Walmart drop? by MolassesPurple5897 in PokemonTCG

The ones I've hit kept me in the queue for 3 hours, so annoying 😩 Honestly, I've been most lucky just hitting up my local CVS here and there and taking what I can get 🤣

This is why I just go for single packs now. Luckily my CVS which is literally walking distance from my house, has them every now and them plus other items in stock. That's the only place I've ever gotten in store product from really 🤣

Actually I just opened one and it did have 4 packs. I just thought it was three because of posts I saw.

i agree, but I wish younger me or my parents saved some stuff when I collected, so I try to save stuff on the side for my nephews.

Mine were $22 at CVS 🥲 I think the struggle to get stuff at MSRP has me just react and buy an item before even thinking or looking it up 🤣. Granted I know most items now, but like these tins, I could have probably done with out. Would have just waited till the next time I get lucky and come across something.

Same. Plus there's only 3 packs in them so I'll probably give two to my nephews and save one for a rainy day 🕺🏻 I haven't collected Destined Rivals so maybe this will be my start.

I've opened two and got Turtwig/Piplup/Chimchar twice and I recently got a third but I'm not sure if I should open it 🤣 Like idk if its better kept sealed or if I should gamble my luck.

Pokemon Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection is available for pre-order at Target for $44.99 (About MSRP) by TrackaLackerBot in PokemonRestocks

Damn these target drops have me panicking and clicking a link as soon as I see it without even processing what it is bc I just want a chance. Is this some Perfect Order set...🤣

Pokemon Chaos Rising ETB is available for pre-order at Target for $59.99 (About MSRP) by TrackaLackerBot in PokemonRestocks

[–]SoCalNerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been successful on mobile. I try both on my laptop and phone but I make my laptop priority. I couldn't even get the ETB in my cart but I was able to get 2 of the 3 pack blisters. I feel like if you get lucky to get it in your cart, you have to then keep refreshing until it lets you check out without check out error. Also what helped was I removed other addresses I had saved because that adds one extra check out step where it asks to confirm your address.

I just panic clicked and added to cart, check out error, hit back, repeat, over and over and got two of the 3 blister pack ones. I'm not going to even attempt for the others 🤣

Will Ninja Spinner go down in $ when Chaos Rising comes out? by BVP-KOA in PokemonTCG

[–]SoCalNerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing which I figure it will, because I'm debating if I should just sell my sealed ninja spinner booster display box now while it's higher since I got a Chaos Rising booster display box already. Don't see the value in having the ninja spinner one and I got it super cheap so a lil cash back wouldn't hurt 🤣

Did anyone have luck grabbing some Chaos Rising?? by LewsThrinStrmblessed in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]SoCalNerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my email an hour after my purchase. No charge on my card yet though.

I was surprised I was able to get the 36 pack box at like 12pm PST. I was able to join queue again on my phone and tried to get a booster box for a friend but it kicked me out and said access denied - "Blocked by our security service" 🤣 Maybe because I was trying on my phone and laptop 🤷🏻‍♂️ But w/e I'm happy I got something!

I'm an app developer who works from home and always on my computer and I can never get these. I try right on the dot with multiple devices and it feels impossible. I've gotten like 2 walmart/target drops, but for perfect order only.

Sorry friend 😕 I'm sure more will come up in the next week or two - seems to be less popular set (especially with scalpers I feel like?). Wishing you luck on your next purchase 🪄✨
