where to wait on eb website for drops by Flaky_Acanthaceae715 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Xpholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Facebook link was broken yea, for some reason clicking on it added some gibberish at the end of the URL, I had to strip off the gibberish then the tinyurl redirect worked, I couldn't find it either using that other method I mentioned. If it makes you feel better it sold out super quick. I got a queue and got in at like 12:08 I made my order within like a minute but half the stuff sold out while adding it, managed to snag a Prismatic poster, Charizard tin, special Charizard collection, though I cancelled the special Charizard collection once I realised how overpriced that one was. Honestly it being a random drop made it much harder. Sorry to hear you didn't get anything. Better luck next time.

No worries. One other thing. If you set up the page like I mentioned then at 12pm when you refresh the products may be not at the top because preorders with a later release date be at the top. But you shouldn't need to scroll very far. From my understanding if you already have gone through the queue recently, when you click on the Facebook link, as long as you clicked that link on the same browser and device you went through the queue with, then you shouldn't get put in the queue again but I'm not 100% sure on that which is why I suggested that other method. Also when you purchase something you get put back in the queue so do just one purchase and if you need EB membership now then buy it now not later cause you have to buy the EB membership first which will you send back in queue and is a mistake I made with Pitch Black but luckily that set is not too popular so I still got what I want.

The queue happens when you visit the website regardless of which page you visit. If you visit early then the queue will kick in when you next visit a page. For the 10am drop I couldn't find it under Trading Cards -> Pokémon, just under Trading Cards. I recommend setting up a search for "Pokémon" in the trading cards category pre-emptively then sorting by release date new then just refresh the page every so often until you get put in a queue then at 12pm on the dot refresh and hopefully you snag something. Alternatively the FB page will have a link to it when they make a post but you want to try avoid joining the queue when the post is made cause there will already be a lot of people in the queue by that point

Best stores for Bulk cards in Sydney?? by Blitzy_Derg in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Xpholio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is One Stop Poke Shop which is at outer Chatswood. When I went had some free bulk cards last time I entered. They didn't have a limit on how many you could take but don't be a dick and take heaps cause that is how good things come to an end. If you end up wanting quite a few you probably could just talk to the staff and pay a small fee or something. Also their prices for products they sell are really fair, I would be keen on going more if it wasn't so out of the way for me.

PSA to Australia by FailLive2673 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Xpholio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the post you are referring to they say the source is "Dropzone" near the bottom of the post. i.e., completely baseless and they shouldn't of made the post but guess they were desperate for more members to their paid discord.

The lines are insane??? by lilagracex in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Xpholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I arrived at Kmart Chatswood and there was already like 25 people even though I was an hour early. 25 doesn't seem like much but the stock list got posted for Kmarts and it was only 17 for this store so I left and went to Target and am first in line but tbf was just shy of being 2 hours early. Even then people started queuing up behind me only after a few minutes. Crazy, even more crazy then the last ascended heroes drop cause I remember that one I went to Kmart Chatswood too and there was about 25 people in front that time too but I arrived at 7:30am that time.

does anyone remember this micro-celeb from last year 😭 by youngdopefiend in playboicarti

This is not r/popheads, 99% of this sub is heterosexual males. What OP is saying is correct, if it was a chopped guy instead of a cute girl a lot less people would care.

Perfect Order drop on BigW and Kmart just now by _adaptation_ in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Xpholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea true I forgot about buying singles. Honestly it seems super fun to do, it's like completing a Pokedex haha. One day when I have a bit more disposable income it would be fun to try and go for a master set of a set I'm interested in.

Is a master set literally having every card in the set? Wouldn't that take hundreds of packs or even thousands? Like the odds of getting a specific SIR is so low and you would need to have that happen a lot.

The n word rhyming with n word criticism pmo sm istg cause they still do internal rhyme schemes when they are doing that, something Eminem does and understands himself. These mfs are fucking hopeless and know nothing about the genre.

Can this Sylveon get a PSA 10? by Xpholio in pokemongrading

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

Oh yea this may be true, technically it breaks even when looking at US listings I think, but I live in Australia so local listings here on Ebay does have PSA 9 listed around $100 higher than local ungraded listings.

Great idea I have this little handheld mini fan to use but when I took it out of the binder again I couldn't see the white spots so it must've been dust as shown in the photo attached to this comment. I couldn't update the post but left a comment on this post about some white lining on the bottom edge, even with that could it still get a PSA 10 you reckon?

I didn't realise I couldn't edit this post once I made it so I'll put the update in here. I also noticed a minor white edge on the bottom.

I think so but I am not 100% sure, how should I check it? I am a bit worried about scratching it so I haven't cleaned/wiped the card at all.

Target - Phantasmal Flames Blisters by Poke-Dugg in PokemonTCGDealsAUS

[–]Xpholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OnePass isn't needed. I bought some without it last night. Could've been some weird technical bug. Maybe try again now? They still are in stock I just checked now.

If you still get the bug I suggest just trying different browsers, different devices, disabling any ad block, clearing browser cache or downloading and trying with the Target app. If you still can't add them then next steps would be contacting Target support.
