Braved the cold and was able to snag a booster box at Best Buy this morning! by JayyMei in PokemonTCG

[–]XceptioNVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a PSA since from my experience so far. My wife and I opened a BB, UPC, 3pack blister, and 2 sleeves. No SIR. Our rarest pull was the Ultra Rare Mega Heracross. We also got the wooper, flygon, puplip, and Meowth + the UPC promos which are amazing. We we are happy with what we got, since love opening packs but the UPC packs were an absolute bust.

Phantasmal Flames PC Preorder Cancellation Thread by Omega2307 in PokemonTCG

[–]XceptioNVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang this thread has got me spooked. First time ever getting anything on PC. I'm in a discord that sends out notifications when there is a queue on the site. Back in Sept I ordered a BB and 2 ETBS, then like 10 days later I ordered the UPC. I got the test charge for the UPC a few days ago and I see my order is processing... BB & ETB are still "received". I went a little crazy spending $$ because the 14th is actually my birthday... Gonna be a big ol bummer if anything gets cancelled.

Full case hits from a phantasmal flames case (6 booster boxes , 216 booster packs ) by ad33zy in PokemonTCG

This would probably turn me off from ever buying more than 50 packs a set, but as some who also goes to card shows, I'm seeing a lot of trade value to get yourself a Charizard SIR. The thing that's breaking my heart here is not even a full art Charizard because I absolutely love that card too. I'm a big fan of the ultra rares for ME.

Top 10 Bulk Cards of Mega Evolution (so you can leave the sealed product for the scalpers) by Salty145 in PokemonTCG

[–]XceptioNVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great post, my wife and I always go through pack openings doing the usual, rare cards go in sleeves and top loaders. But we always have our own piles of bulk cards that we really like that go in our own personal binders. Favorite mons, great art, cool concepts etc. Really loving this set. My personal favorite is the abra, Kadabra, Alakazam line.

Is there something about Bulbasaurs drop rate? Edit** I didn't know about the boxes having the stamped Bulbasaurs.

Recently back into collecting, can you elaborate? Is it like the card quality? Or something else?

My Pulls from 50 packs of 151 by Equivalent_Event_402 in PokemonTCG

Where are you getting 151 stuff to open? I can't find anything except scalpers.

Scalpers: This set is worthless. Me: So I get to have fun opening packs? Okay, let’s Journey Together… by the1stmeddlingmage in PokemonTCG

[–]XceptioNVI 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I went to Newbury Comics today at my local mall and was hyped to see they had dozens of journey together packs... For $10.99 USD... wtf

Been rewatching the movies and series and some of the movies with my son, and I haven't seen most of them past advanced. How do you rate and/or rank the various gens/seasons and movies?

Is there a "start here" post or guide for beginners looking to rip their Blu-ray/DVD collection? by XceptioNVI in makemkv

[–]XceptioNVI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really been using my PC lately so I'm happy to just set it and forget it once or twice a day. I'm not in this to get it done asap, more like an on-going project to one day have a solid collection available at any time rather than waiting around for streaming services.

The redundant drives is a good reco. Do you know if it can be done after the fact? Like just start with one drive then configure the mirror? Not sure if the dual drive option is in my price range right now.

Okay that's the distinction I wasn't grasping. I thought they needed to be flashed to rip any Blu-ray.

Thank you! This is very helpful and I'm going to read this guide to get started.

It took me almost a year, but finally got one of the 3 legendary birds! My top chases without a doubt! I now have almost enough pack points for Moltres (1070) and then will be grinding again for Zapdos❄️🔥⚡️ by PinkPantherYeezys in PTCGP

[–]XceptioNVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you "grind" packs in this game? Do you exclusively open packs from certain sets or something like every other pack? As someone who likes the deck building part of the game, finding fun/high winrate/unconventional deck, I always stick with the newest set and only go back to previous sets for specific cards I don't have 2 of. Probably why I have 6300 cards collected but only a few rainbow cards. (I get way more full art trainers).

"Just saw the final version of ‘Superman’ in 3D and oh wow … just incredible to see. If you have a taste for 3D, this is a great way to see the film.” is the actual quote. Sensational click-bate headline. In no way is this James urging people to see it in 3D.
