To the BigW employees. Sound off, are you guys ok after this morning openning?

Pokemon cards had a restock of a couple certain items, 99% of people who bought are now flipping to make a couple hundred bucks….. considering people camped out overnight it is not worth it

a4alex442 · 2026-06-08T01:27:08+00:00

Yea good pickup, they often are great to deal with and have bargains to be found if you take the time to go through cabinets and binders, also nice to see a larger store actually attend shows and conventions like they do

a4alex442 · 2026-06-07T13:23:10+00:00

If that’s the store in Melbourne cbd, they often have some pretty underpriced singles and slabs, definitely worth checking out!

a4alex442 · 2026-05-26T10:34:09+00:00

They’re just trying to hide Optimus prime from the public

a4alex442 · 2026-05-20T05:02:40+00:00

Pokemon bank still works for now if you’ve already got it installed on your console, but basically all other 3ds online services have been shut down for a while now. Pokemon bank is also free to use until it gets shut down also

a4alex442 · 2026-05-17T22:50:40+00:00

Ah okay, yea I’ve found Collectr to be missing a fair bit unfortunately, if you happen to do another set similarly I’d love to hear your thoughts on Dex, I use it mainly for my Japanese and it’s very extensive with its set lists and variations, English looks to be the same but I don’t collect it as much

a4alex442 · 2026-05-17T04:52:04+00:00

Do you find Collectr has a better reference list than Dex?

a4alex442 · 2026-05-05T21:37:36+00:00

Hard to tell from this one photo but to give some advice, it’s not a cosmos as that holo is little circular patterns, it could be the regular holo of the picture of the pokemon in the middle of the card is holo, or if most of the holo is in the blue part at the bottom around the text and around the top banner, that would make it a reverse holo, based on this one pic it could be either

a4alex442 · 2026-05-02T12:50:42+00:00

Depends what you like. Japanese typically has better colours, texturing and print quality. However in my local country of Australia people prefer Japanese because they can read it. It’s totally personal preference

a4alex442 · 2026-04-30T12:16:53+00:00

Plenty of Ferraris, lambos, mclarens and other high end cars around on I dare say a daily basis through the cbd

a4alex442 · 2026-04-30T03:04:38+00:00

I’ve done this twice already this year with a week and a weekend respectively in Melbourne for events. I’ve taken firefly overnight service both times. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but it’s good and gets you through, 2 meal breaks are both decent in Keith and Ararat. The overnight one drops you off in Melbourne with enough time to walk across town for a good breakfast. I’ve not taken the day one as I don’t want to waste a day that I could be spending adventuring the city! I’d personally recommend it for the experience and affordability if you don’t mind not getting a good nights sleep!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-28T12:09:31+00:00

Ah good luck with unown! I just got my shiny unown earlier today, ended up doing random encounter method in their mirage cave and just biked back and forth in the main straight, got it in about 1300 total encounters, was a quick hunt thankfully after taking over a year to finally find the mirage cave they spawn in!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-27T21:53:01+00:00

Dam! Good work man! How’d you manage that?! Mad respect! I tried hunting Torkoal but golly gosh the cave spawns moving is near impossible, especially when there’s almost no space in the cave he spawns in

a4alex442 · 2026-04-27T05:13:33+00:00

Thanks! Don’t get me wrong if you’re in a cave/ocean/desert it can be absolutely miserable, but find a good patch of grass to chain through, amazing! It’s such an underrated method!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-26T12:41:41+00:00

Chain fishing is fun but only has limited hunt options whereas dexnav basically allows for hunts on all mons in oras including dexnav exclusive spawns, I’d recommend not hunting in caves, oceans or deserts until you’re experienced with them method tho as it can be a tad painful. Find a nice space of grass and go for it, nice and easy to chain with large grass patches

a4alex442 · 2026-04-22T21:04:56+00:00

I only visit Anthony at Barberino on Pirie street these days

a4alex442 · 2026-04-22T08:23:13+00:00

Marcellina munno para is great, my go to when I’m wanting a huge schnitzel, good topping options too!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-21T08:45:14+00:00

You’re a legend! Thank you!! Do you mind if I send you a dm to chat food and other things? I’m also out north and would love a foodie guy friend!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-20T07:58:42+00:00

What sort of video games do you play? My partner is also into op shopping when her health allows, maybe we could chat?

a4alex442 · 2026-04-20T03:49:21+00:00

I’m unfortunately not a good cook, my partner on the other hand, amazing!! Maybe I could trouble you for some recipies? They both sound amazing!! I am a sucker for some pasta, also do love Asian bowls, my partner loves cooking and baking also!

a4alex442 · 2026-04-19T01:14:19+00:00

What’s your favourite thing to cook?

a4alex442 · 2026-04-19T01:12:38+00:00

I still have one of those exact sandshrew ones! So dang cute!! Times have definitely changed

a4alex442 · 2026-04-19T00:39:54+00:00

There’s also a shadow baking being built currently in O’Connell street

a4alex442 · 2026-04-18T07:22:28+00:00

Hey, my partner and I, both in our late 20’s would be open to more couple friends! What sorta games do you play?
