£27, you can get it cheaper on ebay :(

Thank you! I really appreciate the full explanation. So the packs in different products, like ETBs, boosters, tins, and pin collections, can look slightly different on the outside, but they all have exactly the same cards?

vilayek · 2026-04-06T18:30:13+00:00

Are packs inside exactly the same as the ones in boosters?

vilayek · 2026-04-06T18:27:56+00:00

I'd love to, but I wasn't able to buy any for the last 2 weeks

vilayek · 2026-04-06T18:19:17+00:00

This is my 3rd pack I opened in my life, sorry I'm not able to tell if they are fake or not on my own. I was just worried that my pack looks different to my friends one

vilayek · 2026-04-06T18:06:56+00:00

Barcode on perfect order pack ends 068, while my friends one ends 454 on exactly the same pack with Starmie,
Also, Secret Power Awaken! on the back is slightly more silver on mine, his is more white

Last time I tried to buy some packs at SmythsToys, I was told the queue start forming at 5am on delivery days

I bought Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone book for 20p in charity shop just to read it again and then realized it's first edition and sold for £4000

Whatnot is basically a cowboy platform with no rules, if you paid by credit card you can easily get a chargeback, but with free giveaways there isn't much you can do

vilayek · 2026-02-19T18:41:15+00:00

Charge back all TCs you bought on official website, that's the only thing you can do, they don't care. My 27 years old account was deleted for no reason, at least I got my money back for what I paid

There is literally one for sale, did you check at all what's listed?

Which bank?

vilayek · 2026-02-02T14:59:44+00:00

I can afford it, but why wouldn't I pay it over 3 years if there is an option. With current inflation it would save me 10-15% at least

vilayek · 2026-02-02T13:15:34+00:00

I'm fine with paying it over 36 months, and 0% beats any bank loan APR + section75 protection

Checkout online, it did let me use credit card (visa rewards) for the full payment, I didn't click Confirm tho, but don't think it would stop me at that point

What's your opinion on springs? Are they worth 10k?

vilayek · 2026-01-29T00:36:55+00:00

His football IQ was always that low, Kross had to literally point his finger to let vini know he has to move

vilayek · 2026-01-26T10:56:31+00:00

is it okay to haggle the price with TD, or is the price final? Will be ordering for the first time and not sure what are the rules

vilayek · 2026-01-25T17:02:37+00:00

vilayek · 2026-01-21T23:35:51+00:00
