Gaming Pokémon Strumfest

Is the massive buzz around Pokemon go affecting the values of the cards ?
 
Load of the single holos for Legendary Treasures arrived! Love the full art Reshiram.

Just have about 6 ultra rares and 2 secret rares left and the set is done.

@Ady87 damn, shame you didn't pull one of those primal secret rares, they look so good :drool:

The pokemon gods are cruel sometimes.

Sent your cards this morning btw.
 
I wonder what we would have said 20 years ago, if we were told that some of us would still be buying the cards in 2016 and trading with others over the internet.

Oh, and going out with our phones to catch Pokemon in the real world.

I'd have wet myself at some of these full art cards I have now when I first started collecting!

Likewise ☺

Think I'm about 6 cards shy of completing Breakpoint and Breakthrough so thats the focus now and I'll come back to Ancient a Origins later.

I'd have believed you @Olly because I'm incredibly impulsive and always have been. I've spent £300 on pokemon cards in a month ha but I expect to make that back from the sale of sets and have enjoyed doing it.

Nice! I can't wait to finish Breakpoint too, some nice cards.

I also just checked through my Legendary Treasures and I've just seen I need 11 EX and somehow 1 fecking common card :lol: How? :lol:
 
Apologies if I'm not allowed to post this, but I'm selling a secret rare Alakazam ex (125/124 - Fates collide) as I have a double. I have it listed online for £12, but would go down to £10 for a caf member, if anyone's interested? Or a trade if that would be preferable?

Don't tempt me :lol:

Don't have any from the Legendary Treasures set by any slim chance do you?
 
Hey, you should post more!

What do you need for a trade? I won't know if I'll need it to buy till I open my first box in a week or two haha

I will do! I've been trying to resist the lure of these damn cards, but I think it was reading this thread that compelled me to purchase my last lot of Fates Collide booster packs.

My approach to collecting is very scatter gun. Pretty much just try and get the Pokemon I like, or ones with particularly nice artwork. If you are in need of the Alakazam after the first box and I still have it, just let me know what full arts you're willing to part with and we'll go from there! :)
 
When you pick up this for £5 including postage because your a top ebayer.

That's so nice. Seeing these from other sets isn't helping!

Remember that guy I said who lived near me and I offered cash to to come pick the cards up? Well I just won the Black Kyruem EX for £2.50 and hopefully the Excadrill EX in the next few minutes. I was offering him £5 a card to come pick them up :lol:

Love it! I offered a guy £30 BIN for 2 Secret Rares and a few Exs. He said he's but never went through with it, I won the auction for £21. Ha
 
Picked up the Charizard Generations box earlier because there were no break point anywhere in town. 4 boosters so getting an EX was cool and I love the full art also like how the evolution in the Radient Collection shows them growing up!

More new Pokemon!

Mimikyu

Mudsdale

And this years Klefki

Mimikyu is Ghost/Fairy and I think it looks awesome.
 
I love Mimikyu, shame it's going to be shite.

Mudsdale is the most 80's looking thing ever, and I'm not sure if that makes it the best thing ever, or the worst. FFS, head off a Dio(or whatever 80's metal icon) album and leg warmers.

I think it makes mudsdale the best thing ever to be honest.

Yeah luckily I'm not into battling much and love a bit of breeding and collecting, so if Mimikyu has a cool shiny version I will have to grab one. I'm going in hard this gen.

Leaning towards best, alright.

I'm not *that* fussed by battling, but I'd like it to be good enough to be competitive in the storyline battles at least(without powerleveling).

Yeah for sure, it's a shame when something looks cool but is totally useless. However I'm still gonna breed an army of these and infest the world.
 
Is Mimikyu a wind up? Looks like a demented Pikachu head on top of a Shroomish. I wonder if it can mimic other Pokemon...
 
I just looked at my Mr. Mime on Pokemon Go. I've seen him a hundred times before but I've never realised how creepy it is. Some weird little deformed human thing.
 
Blimey, that's a bit creepy. Quite a lot of things abut Pokemon seem to be quite dark. Cool, though.
Aye, it's all cute and cuddly up front, but there's weird, creepy and dark in every nook and cranny.

That's not even mentioning creepypasta and fan theories. Like in the originals, when you battle Gary on the boat, he has a Raticate, next time you see him is at the graveyard, no Raticate, and an he has empty team slots so it's not been moved out for better mons...

I've heard of some creepy fan made ROM hacks out there. I should try one out sometime.
