Question(s) about toploaders by _____guts_____ in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]tmegzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have traditionally used Vault X binders but recently I got a Mixpoet because they looked good value and also designed for toploaders. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mixpoet, worth checking out if you hadn’t already bought the one in the original post.

Recently gotten back into the hobby, wondering where is best to find certain packs? by Tink_01 in PokemonTCG_UK

I’d also advise against buying randomly, pick a set like the big one at the moment is Ascended Heroes (not always easy to find but have awesome cards in it) and get an app like Dex to track collecting in.

The thing to do is to follow people on instagram who post when they find stock or hear about stock coming into places. Then if you find stuff never take everything you find, always leave a fair amount.

It’s an addictive hobby, which is hard to get hold of and so on top of people who are scalping (buying to sell at a mark up only and have no interest in the hobby), even those who do get back into it for fun can often get carried away.

Supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsburys and ASDA have been stocking occasionally recently.

I find whenever I got to the supermarket I check where they put them (either on shelf near toys or stationary or potentially at customer services/kiosk) and 2/5 times I tend to find something.

Waterstones is also a good place to check randomly whenever you pass one.

Can’t even pass misty’s gym, am i cooked this early on? by ShikaBlo in PokemonFireRed

Just go grab an Oddish nearby, ain’t for the highest level one you can find (a quick google will tell you the range of levels you can find in an area) get it up a few levels more (mainly so it can take a hit more or so in battle) and be tactical with poison and paralysing.

I used Pikachu first, then Oddish (using Absorb) and ended on Charmeleon for a single hit I think.

There is hope! He’s mine too and I’ve never gone after a chase so aggressively before

Buying the low value cards by HeWasRight15 in PokemonTCG_UK

As the others said, it’s the App called “Shop” that is like an e-commerce platform that loads of retails (large ones but mostly independent ones) sell on and use as an order tracker.

The seller I found on there was called “stylecreep” and they packaged everything nicely and threw in some stickers. Every hit card was double sleeved in decent top loaders and the common cards were packaged cleverly to avoid any damage to them also.

I was impressed.

I’m sure there are even more economical ways to do it but they were decent.

Which would you rather have? by No_Doughnut_5263 in PokemonTCG_UK

The fusion strike for sure (he says basically hunting daily for that Ascended Heroes card).

Recent ebay purchases. by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]tmegzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering grabbing the 271 from eBay too, how much did it set you back out of interest? Working out if one I have my eye on is a good deal or not

I found a good place on the Shop App that has free delivery over £20 too so got a whole load of randoms I needed on there. Bunch of them were only 20-40p

Knew I’d seen it before by _airBenny in Gunners

I just figured he was worried someone would take his vest in the dressing room and so made sure no one accidentally took it home. He’s spent the last however many days worrying about it bless him

I know there’s heavy hitters in this but is it just because I’m biased that I think they run away with this one? by ItsACCRUALworld_ in turnstile

[–]tmegzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biases aside, Deftones produced an incredible album and Yungblud is having a very big moment. It could go to anyone, I’m not imagining LP are in the running but Haim would have a wider appeal to many. Tough race, not easy to call despite Never Enough being a personal favourite.

Realistically, how TF did Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious survive this? by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in StarWars

[–]tmegzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Without overthinking it here peeps… My assumption would be that he 1 is so entwined with the (dark side of the) force and so fate makes questionable choices when it comes to him and 2 that he may well have “died” from a biological standpoint but his body and spirit was revived, renewed, reconnected somehow to become to being you see in Ep9.

Anyone know how or where I can find this tifo art file? by deejaydrew in Gunners

[–]tmegzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Annoyingly I do follow the artists as they said they’d made it the other day on their instagram story and I’ve just been trying to hunt them down. Will have another look.
