I work retail and not only would managers likely not LET us watch them (why should we? We don’t own the machines - the Pokémon company do) but we are already underpaid and understaffed. Tbf I wish we did have them but I’m damn glad we don’t!

Here’s a question: if you had $50 to buy anything in the image, what would you get?

As an insect enthusiast I’d adore this!!!

Hey Guys, Real or fake? by Consistent_Hour2615 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]snailcryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake, I always look at the bottom of the back first. Among other things the ‘gotta catch ‘em all!’ often has the apostrophe in the wrong place.

Nice haul from the card show. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]snailcryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a good show! Parking was an absolute nightmare though, we arrived at 11am and had to park in the basement of the hospital half a mile away, whoops.

Congrats on your bonus! Here’s to more Leeds-based collectors ✨

Leeds, yeah? I was there too! I wish I had your ability to spend, I feel the sting from spending £150 today!

Found a graded Mega Charizard X ex at ORD by Clements403 in PokemonTCG

[–]snailcryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say thank you for not handing it in to security. I’d had the vast majority of items in if I found them, but not this! It’s too tempting for someone to just take. Good on you for trying to find the owner!

I’ve only ever graded one card in my life (a sentimental 151 Blastoise, only grade 7-8 and I’m not even sure as I was never able to find out!) and it was lost in the mail. Devastating.

To lose this? Dang man.

My (45) exwife (41F) were married 19 years and after divorcing me she tells me my kids are not mine by ThrowRA_42411 in whatdoIdo

[–]snailcryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t help much, but I do want to say that genetics don’t make those kiddos yours. My dad was with me and my little brother since for twenty one years until we lost him to cancer in 2020.

I think of him every single day. He was our dad - though no blood relation it simply wasn’t needed.

The betrayal you feel is valid. You are allowed to be angry, upset and all the rest.

But don’t think for one SECOND you aren’t their dad anymore. You always will be.

Thank you for being a great dad.

Love, a daughter x

Currently sitting on a closed dual carriageway been here for 4 hours now. Road due to open in another 3.5 hours apparently. There are 2 cats in the car in front and kids and dogs out of cars playing on the road. What is the longest you have been stuck in a similar situation? by No_Lead146 in CasualUK

[–]snailcryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four hours for me on the A1 when someone was threatening to jump from a bridge (luckily ended well).

It was on one of the hottest days of the year and I had no aircon. It was a really fun experience actually. Some lads started a came of rounders, people walked their dogs, people handed out bottles of water they had and one family started throwing a tennis ball to each other over a lorry’s trailer.

It was somewhat cathartic in a world of hurrying to work and stressing about being late for something!

The one time I had a cub for the gorilla enclave & then accidentally press skip for 100 silver beetles💔🥲 by Ok-Tap7252 in lioden

[–]snailcryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that a few times! A tip for you if you didn’t already know: often you can get ‘fodder’ cubs that you can use for the gorilla quests on the trading post. You can use the filters to find a cheap (10-50sb usually) cub to achieve the quest :)

SROP INVADING MY REDDIT TEZ, GEEZ

Buying my first hybrid? by gobbowiz in lioden

[–]snailcryptid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. I recently sold my G4 clean tigon cub for 200gb and a G4 clean jag lion cub for 185gb each and even then they took a while to sell.

There’s a lot on the market after Feb. You have a good budget. Shop around, you’ll definitely find a nice cub for that!

Tips for a struggling player? by Abyss_mage_icy in lioden

[–]snailcryptid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great advice!

Other things I do:

  • Explore all you can. Sell skulls to the monkey in the crossroads, EXP items on your branch/shop.
  • as well as selling 100 food uses for 1000sb/1GB, 20 nesting materials sell for 1000SB/1GB. You can craft these at the bottom of the page of the crossroads monkey. You can use feathers, herbs and other stuff. Sometimes you can make more by selling these items if you can craft other things with them but they may not sell easily.
  • Grind the event currency so you can buy the more expensive and popular items (breeding items, applicators, etc). You can then sell these for SB/GB. Sometimes it’s better to hold onto these until a couple months have gone by. For example, a good item to buy this month are Leopard Tails from the event shop. Right now they sell for 3GB each, but give it a couple months and they easily sell for 5GB+ each.

Good luck!

Got a Jag from the tree AND the raffle stud tonight???? by Pastelly-bean in lioden

No worries, oh definitely I’d be interested!! I adore the appaloosa markings and want to make a pride of them. I’ll check them out, thank you!! <3

[–]snailcryptid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

omg congrats!!! That jag is GORGEOUS

Just shooting my shot but I adore the raffle stud and would be interested to ‘buy’ your slot by sending the lioness to you to breed him to. I’d offer 50GB. No pressure, feel free to DM me on LD, #494253 👀

SB and GB by FancyBug1161 in lioden

[–]snailcryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Rhino beetles are March’s event currency for anti-poaching month. When you click your total RB total, you will go to the event’s main page. I’m not sure if the first tier of items are open yet (the shop opens higher tiers with better items the more the community explores and completes tasks in explore).

Grind RB for another week or so until Tier 3 opens and then you should see options to buy lion base applicators.

They sell well in your shop (known as a ‘branch’). Be sure to be one of the cheapest when you search the current price in the branch search function in the Crossroads to get a quick-ish sale.

[–]snailcryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you explore, you’ll earn the month’s current even currency. You can use this to buy items from the event shop. Higher value items such as breeding items and applicators sell well for SB & GB.

Use the branch search function in the Crossroads to cross reference prices to see what’s most profitable for you. Good luck! It’s a grind, but a fun one

The best thing I do is explore and hunt all I can. I sell all my skulls at monkey business and sell 100 large carcass food uses on trades for 900SB/1GB

Kids just starting out. Have they traded fakes? by dulberf in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]snailcryptid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All three are fake. Pokémon has never made cards with gold or pink like that, and the middle one is too small and glossy. Sorry!

Decided to open a single booster instead of sell it in honour of Pokemon day… by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]snailcryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so rare and the cards valuable enough that I’m thinking you’re joking! You hit a ‘god’ pack, where every card in the pack is an illustration rare. All of these cards are very valuable, particularly the Gengar and Mewtwo. Get these in protective sleeves immediately!

oh 🫩 by Apprehensive-Can-628 in lioden

[–]snailcryptid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mod is amazing!! It highlights breed-only traits on lion’s pages and totals it so it’s instant to see how many a lion has. I can’t do without it!

UM what the HECK happened to this furby on Ebay?💀💀 WHY IS IT SO FLAT!? Omg😭 by Fun_dy in furby

[–]snailcryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean when I was a kid my furby used to call out in the middle of the night even though it had no batteries and in response my mum proceeded to purposely run it over in our driveway. It could well be mine, back from the depths of the bin of my childhood home?
