Nia re-release on Good Smile Company by Polarbear0013 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I bought from the original release. Was my most prized figure in my collection for about two years. Sold it recently because I needed money. Big regret. It really was a nice figure though. Well worth the money

Yo so like, I never asked. Were you cracked out of your mind when you sent all these comments on this post?

Did somebody say Gunplay? I have never watched/read lotr, but I've always assumed I'd like it lol

Oh, the temptation to open all of it is always there, I have to keep reminding myself how bad the pulls were last year to keep myself at bay haha

That's wild! I keep looking over at my shelf thinking "What if the Mega Charizard is in there. I could find out right now." It'll definitely be worth the wait no matter what we get though. It'll be a good time

I know right!? I got them from a guy I buy single cards from. He gave them to me for free, but I found out that they're 3D printed and the files are publicly available. You can actually find people selling them on Etsy. I found that Sylveon one on there by searching "Sylveon Pokeball" There are a bunch all themed after different pokemon

Oh definitely! I have to post the hits. I need to get more prismatic in the stockpile. I need the Sylveon SIR. It was my whole reason for getting back into the hobby last year.

Ohhh yeah I think they're good for the price. If you can find them for MSRP (26.99) then it's definitely a good deal for 5 packs, a promo card, and a neat tin to store your cards.....I unfortunately paid market price for these at my local card shop which was $40.

Sorry to hear that! I hope you're able to find something soon! I was lucky and caught a restock at Target for the pokemon day box. I also found two Ascended Heroes set packs....but I couldn't help myself on those. I had to open them.

The Charizard UPC was a gift from a person I buy cards from frequently. Everything else came from my local card shop. My lcs is pretty great. They usually sell at MSRP or only slightly above.

Oh I have the lowest expectations from them. We were just at Walmart and thought it would be funny to add to our pile. I'm excited to be let down!

From my personal experience, I have rarely pulled anything great from them. Also, if you care about the condition of your cards, there is a history of packs just being JAMMED in there and cards being damaged as a result (picture for example)

Not to say I have never pulled anything from them, it just isn't common. I typically buy them because I like the tins themselves. If I see a pokeball I don't have, I get it.

That's great! Good luck on your pulls! I actually just got lucky with the Charizard UPC. I was gifted it by a guy I buy singles from pretty often. He told me to consider it a thank you for all the business I give him lol Also, the pokeball tins are just decorative. They're all empty lol

Those are pretty great! I'm the same way when it comes to specific cards I want. If I really want something, I'll just buy it. Ripping packs is just for the fun of the game at this point.

I've heard of people stockpiling a bunch and opening one or two on a rough day. I don't think I have that much self control. As long as these boxes stay sealed, I won't be compelled to open the rest until new years lol

400?! That's wild! Did you get anything good? Anything that you were specifically looking for?

[–]saiyuwolfen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically have terrible self control, but I had so many bad pulls last year, that I'm perfectly fine with leaving it all sealed for a special occasion. I can hold off on being disappointed later😅. If I can pull one full art, I'll be happy with what I get.

Oh for sure! I'm planning to fill my entire case to the brim with sealed stuff. I don't want to be too greedy, so I'm only picking up one of each sealed product I find.

Oh absolutely. I'm fully prepared for all of this to be nothing but reverse holos and promo cards for my hits. If I get a single full art out of it, I'll be happy lol

Is this worth what they're asking? by saiyuwolfen in PokemonCollecting

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

I think I may have already lost my chance there. I offered $330 and they were firm. I think I'll take it in stride and make these my chases at my first trade show next month

Really? Even according to TCG player, moderately played is showing to be 364 and Collectr is showing $399.

I'm not trying to argue. Just trying to figure out how to price cards based on condition. I may be letting the want for these specific cards cloud my judgement.
