Gaming Pokémon Strumfest

Aye, that is true, it's a tad annoying that you can't move for some one landing up in your grill and pushing you one way or another. There was a bit of freedom to the earlier ones especially red/blue and gold/silver.
 
My first christmas order arrived today, the two secret rare Gold Cards from Legendary Treasures to finally finish all the full arts in the set.

I'm still way off route 8, I'm also going to caych a bug/water pokemon something like godspeed, I found his stats and typing to fit my exact need.

From what I've seen they've improved this version's set of bugs. I've got that electric bug Grubbin, currently at second evolution.
 
Wishiwashi vs Golisopod? Wishiwashi(School Form) is really strong but Golisopod looks cool and the bug typing make it even more interesting.

I haven't used either much to be honest, Wishiwashi has less weaknesses but also less resistance to types too so kinda balances out on that front. But yeah I haven't used either yet so not sure!
 
Anybody able to trade me a rowlet? Can give you a litten or popplio
 
Can you do a YouTube opening video so poor twats like me can join the fun?!

I think I'm instead going to make a throne out of the duplicates and look down on everyone from my geek kingdom.
 
Well not a bad box, these are the highlights.

Also pulled 5 reverse holo holo cards which is ludicrous. Absolutely gutted the holo charizard was a reverse and not the normal even though it's probably rarer.

Averaged a holo or better per pack and filled out loads of the set.
 
Postman came. This set is finally finished. 140 card set never doing that again. Might switch to Japanese.

Curious as to why you guys collect them? Just for the hell of it? Because they're pretty? Or do you think you'll turn a profit down the line?
 
Dunno about the others, but when I starting buying them again in around 2012, it was because opening the packs was fun :lol: Obviously getting ones with nice art etc was a nice bonus.

There's just something satisfying about it.

So basically your version of heroin? :lol:

A mixture to be honest. I've always liked collecting things. It's a bit of a nostalgia trip. Also some older cards are worth money down the line, although only really if you know what you're looking for. Opening packs is fun too.

I also find the sorting and sleeving of cards to be really therapeutic. I'm around people so much that I enjoy some down time with some music on sorting them out. Sad I know but what the hell.

Makes sense, I collected those prem stickers a few years ago for nostalgia. Nowhere near as fun when you cant do swaps :( "Got got got NEED".

I get the therapeutic thing too.

Ha yeah, my old housemate used to rinse me for this then collected all the football stickers and even sent off for the last ones he needed, there's no difference :lol:

Yeah I do miss swapping with friends, you have to do it on the internet now.
 
Don't lie Joe.


You know you're beyond help.

I know. I still have loads in the post yet to arrive :lol:

I ordered 5 of those ancient mew movie promo cards today because they were cheap and I love them.

Plus I have some Jungle and Fossil boosters in the post somewhere too.

I need an intervention.
