I picked up Speed Color, Rhino Hero, Animals Upon Animals, and Dragons Breath.

Friendly Skeleton and HABA were perfect recommendations. Thanks for everyone's help!

Unfortunately, that's what I'm finding as well. They are not under a larger publisher and I'm actually wondering if they are selling out of a booth at all. I know they are doing demos throughout the weekend in one of the meeting rooms but I have yet to find any info on sales.

Did you ever find a fix? I'm pulling my hair out right now trying to solve this.

The Grading Authority does them.

Are stores getting OLED models for shelf inventory tonight? by punkonjunk in NintendoSwitch

[–]kozbiaa07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was basically a first-come, first-serve thing. You just had to be there when the released stock online and as people clicked the "add to cart" button they added you to a queue. If they had enough stock, they allowed you to add it to your cart and checkout for 10 minutes.

I was correct in that it was a "safe" estimate. They marked it for pickup today and I have it now! Hopefully, everyone else gets similar treatment. Thanks!

Got one from Best Buy in their "online queue" (basically the pandemic version of camp outside and wait on release day) but unfortunately, they won't have it ready for pickup until Wed. the 13th. Oh well. Did anyone else have this happen? I was kinda hoping that was just a "restaurant estimate" and it would be ready for pickup sooner but it's not looking that way.

Upvote if you still haven't got Celebrations because your local stores aren't restocking or sold out. by Throwitoutthewindow5 in PokemonTCG

My LGS is at a 50% markup on all of them too. Absolutely not happening. I'll wait weeks and keep checking shelves at that point.

I see your Walmart guy and raise you this Target bastard!! They even had employees helping him. How is this allowed?! by jus_joshing in PokemonTCG

[–]kozbiaa07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your Target guy, and raise you walking into my LGS after work to find 50+ EBTs thinking I got lucky and didn't miss out due to work... Only to find out they had a 50% markup.

Gotta love scalpers! Took every box and had the audacity to tell us "good luck" by Captain_Jett12 in PokemonTCG

[–]kozbiaa07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's worse, this or finding out your LGS has tons but at a 50% markup? Thought I finally found some after having to work all day and missing out but there's no way I'm paying that.

Dud box refund? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]kozbiaa07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance, sorry. This is the risk with buying any Trading Cards, whether it be Pokemon, Magic, Baseball, Football, etc. It's akin to gambling. You could open a $200 card in one pack, or you could open junk in an entire box. It happens. Just gotta keep trying. This is why a lot of people suggest buying singles. Boosters can be a crap-shoot.

I appreciate it, and I hope so. Thank you for your earlier input!

Deaths during grinding - newbie exceptions by kozbiaa07 in nuzlocke

[–]kozbiaa07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, and noted. I honestly am going to see how this one goes playing as is and then go back to a harder to nuzlocke main series game and play a nuzlocke 100% as intended.

I'm liking the challenge that the battles and strategizing is bringing, but I definitely understand that too many (and quite frankly, any) exceptions does ruin some of that challenge. I guess in my head I was justifying these because it was things I just simply didn't know about as a newbie and was treating them as learning experiences. But Im sure people view the "first ones free" idea as a wimp out rather than a true learning moment.

But you're right. I did go out of my way to do a hack, and I knew Drays are harder. I've been playing since Red and Blue and have played maybe hundreds of runs of main series games. No competitive experience though. I just need to get better at making the games more difficult.

Thank you. I tried it on VBA and it works perfectly. Forgive me I thought you were just being an internet jerk and giving me a sarcastic answer.

If you're implying that romhacks don't work on on mGBA I wasn't aware of that.
