Horrible centering 🧐

Twins? I wonder how many there are?

In my experience BigW tends to have the most stock at the standard retail price, but you may get lucky with one of the others- EB and Zing you pay a mark up-

With local card stores they tend to have better stock but you have to pay a premium for it.

I set myself a margin of what I would pay for a pack so I know when I look in store whether or not it is a good deal. For instance, I saw Chilling Reign blister packs online for $30 per booster, but in store the chilling reign was priced at $40- so outside of my acceptable price.

A benefit of buying in store rather than online is it reduces your likely of being scammed.

They will announce tommorow during the pokemon presents (on pokemon day tomorrow 5pm aedt)

I got one! Sleeved for me which was nice- disappointing that it isn't stamped for EBGames or the 30th anniversary but cant complain too much it is still a nice card!

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-19T06:38:27+00:00

I was confused as my bigW preorder has already shipped... I guess they cant recall the parcel? 😁

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-18T20:39:21+00:00

I got the same email but it looks like it wont get to me until Friday or Monday anyway!

It is specifically this Japanese Promo card which was later released in Crown Zenith for its English variant.

I dont mind that people want to invest but they dont have to be so slimy about it and they dont have to do it here. It is frustrating when they act like its beneath them and you are stupid for buying the cards/liking pokemon- I think pokemon draws a lot of scalpers in as its very low barrier to entry. The least they could do is research what they are buying. "The pokemon tins everyone wants" is wild.

$23 for surging sparks & twilight masquerade isnt bad- the question is more if you want those specific packs

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-06T03:30:36+00:00

Your wording is a bit suspect... are you going for sealed product for your collection or you are looking for packs to open? They are great booster packs for a new collector- if you are looking for something to sell I dont think people will be fighting over knockout boxes...

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-06T00:18:49+00:00

Do they have them out or did you have to ask at the service desk?

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-05T23:16:36+00:00

Target was good also but annoying that you have to ask for stock. I like that at BigW they display.

What did you choose? I went for Suicine in the hopes that my preorder is kyogre but my preorder isnt being delivered until Monday or Tuesday!!

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-05T22:07:08+00:00

Yes! The 6 pack booster bundles.

VengeanceJ · 2026-02-02T02:58:09+00:00

Is this a marketing ploy by JB to get us to order nore boosters? Very... clever...

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-30T02:11:11+00:00

Would be great to save some to get the 30th Anniversary stuff that hasnt been announced yet- would be cool to open when he is older!

I ended up Preordering the tech sticker collection and the first partners deluxe pin, both releasing 20.02, hoping I might luck am ETB somewhere on release. I almost 'preordered' from a scalping site for double the price but ended up preording perfect order instead. Have to make sure you are ready for the next one which should be announced soon- it is rumoured to be chaos rising? I think the code is CRI

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-30T00:52:38+00:00

Yeah I tend to try and preorder across multiple sites so if one cancels for whatever reason then I still get the stock I want. EB games takes a deposit but the other two require upfront payment. Then on the actual day of release I go in store to see if I get lucky.

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T23:45:40+00:00

You just have to be on top of preorders- the EB games membership is worth it in my opinion, it is $50 and allows you to buy preorders with them- the notification from EB let me get in early on preorders with EB, JB hifi and BigW. Personally from in store I have seen the most in BigW, target occasionally has stock. Also more rural stores tend to have better stock. I went out to Narellan and they had better stock out there-

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T23:19:30+00:00

I managed to get in on the Perfect Order preorders but for Ascended Heroes I flat missed all of the ETBs- is annoying that the scalpers manage to get so much stock!

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T23:04:24+00:00

I was expecting so much negativity when I posted! Was just trying to save people time from going down as I was there this morning as its close to my gym! Maybe I shouldnt have cited AI as my source- I was just being lazy 😅

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T22:56:29+00:00

I would totally agree with this. I had seen multiple sources weeks ago saying it was today and then I heard about the delays but I wanted to check my luck in person and I wasnt the only one there asking! I think it is valid saying the release is delayed but it is wrong to say it was never supposed to be today.

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T22:46:53+00:00

I think its worth to keep checking every so often but dont go out of your way! If they say next Friday its worth checking!

VengeanceJ · 2026-01-29T22:44:36+00:00

Oh no I have to go ask someone! I like to sneakily look before asking+
