    Oversized Raging Bolt ex Also Releasing for “Temporal Forces” Store Promotions in Europe!

    If you don’t mind me asking - What do you keep them in if you are collecting them **ALL**?? I got 3 of the “first partner” binder set they released with the pikachu jumbo card (thinking that I was being ridiculous at the time but now I think I need even more!) - all the first partners cards and...

    Pokemon Japan Increasing Supply of Booster Boxes, Reprint of “Pokemon Card 151” Coming in May!

    It’s an impossible dream but I WISH TPCI sold us a comparable product of the TPC Japanese booster box - like if we got a 10 pack (they’d both have 100 cards a box) for 39.99 retail without the extra brick of energy cards / etc in the ETB but also it hitting with the same “rules” of at least 1...

    “Temporal Forces” Has Hardest Pull Rates of Scarlet & Violet Sets for Highest Rarities

    This set has been a lot of fun to rip - it did seem considerably harder to pull initially in my first 100 packs I had a 25% hit rate including EX and without them around 11% but by the end of the next 100 it had balanced back out to about 38% with EX and 25% without // so it seems like maybe I...

    “Vibrant Paldea Mini Tins” Releasing in June!

    If they sneak like Evolving skies or something fun into these like they had the Cosmic Eclipse in the Galar tins I will absolutely be scooping these up - otherwise I am VERY a happy to have a product I can skip ***my wallet whimpers in anticipation***

    “Temporal Forces” Set Guide: Card List, Secret Rares, Cut Cards, Products, and More!

    Very strange - I don’t know that hit types generally can land in more than one seeded position - mine was absolutely not the last card / holo slot but perhaps they are seeded into multiple slots to make them more accessible ?‍♂️ I know we don’t love sharing pictures this way on here but this was...

    “Temporal Forces” Set Guide: Card List, Secret Rares, Cut Cards, Products, and More!

    Target had the set out early here so had to snag a 3pack - just in case anyone is wondering Ace Specs land in the first of the reverse slot so like in a normal pack of reverse/reverse/holo they land Ace/reverse/holo - was personally curious and happily my first pack of the set answered the question

    “Mask of Change” Japanese Pokemon TCG Set Revealed for April!

    LOL ? you are so right - I think because we got the jumbos as like a “set-less promo”before SV1 dropped in my brain I thought they were Black Stars that got reprinted in, not debuted in that set. But we’re getting more to drop simultaneously like that even in this set so it certainly isn’t...

    “Mask of Change” Japanese Pokemon TCG Set Revealed for April!

    I think I’m most surprised to get both the 1 prize and 2 prize teal mask ogerpon in the same set - they usually don’t debut Pokémon in both card type in the same set (at least not that I remember so far in Scarlet Violet)

    “Twilight Masquerade” Pokemon TCG Set Officially Revealed for May!

    The little fat crystal tera Dreepy on that pack art are my children ?

    American and European Store Promotions for “Temporal Forces,” Now Using Galaxy Holofoil?

    I would assume that the GameStop ones will be cosmic holo as the last promo they gave out for Pokémon day were also the cosmic holo and with the images of Europe’s versions I can’t imagine they’d print just the “American GameStop” ones on a different foil - so fingers crossed because that will...

    New “Paradox Clash Tins” Releasing in May!

    Le sigh….I wish they would give us sick promos in these tins like they did with the Crown Zenith bird trio or even if they have to do these heartless reprints then even just a different shape tin that was maybe a littler closer to convenient to store stuff in or store them together ?

    “Temporal Forces” Set Guide: Card List, Secret Rares, Cut Cards, Products, and More!

    First “Crimson Haze” Cards Revealed, Including Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex!

    The POV is so weird - I think it’s a cross section of a hole in the side of a tree and partly underground so we see inside the tree plus the roots in the dirt AND the outside of it …but it is just kinda bizarre.. but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the honey gobbler and the super smooshed teddi...

    “Twilight Masquerade” Pokemon TCG Set Releasing in May!

    This makes me hope that the Crimson Haze may actually be referring to the “poisonous control aura” that the loyal three are under and not just a reference to blood moon ursaluna because that would make for a much more cohesive / unified expansion for us and storytelling overall from video game...

    “Mabosstiff ex Showcase Collection” Also Releasing!

    The price difference in these is pretty staggering - with them pricing the showcase at lower than MSRP single pack prices like that - it’s inferred that the original product is 10$ more for only a single pack and a jumbo card which no one would pay 10$ for alone so I feel like they just are...

    First Day of Van Gogh Pikachu Promotion Goes Smoothly, Limited Scalping, Even More Copies Coming

    I only half understand why they did this promotion to extend to all the stores of Netherlands - like these locations/stores are not part of the Pokémon x Van Gogh collaboration at all in any way and it’s only slightly-regionally related but not specifically part so it’s a little confusing for me...

    Ceruledge “Pokemon Day” Promo to Release at Gamestop, Best Buy, and Pokemon Center

    Here hoping they still do a GameStop one for Paldean fates (not holding my breath) ??? although it’s nice to see this stamped Ceruledge and him getting some love over alllll the armarouge stuff they’ve been pumping out! Edit: I guess this is the stand-in for a Paldean Fates store promo because...

    “Gardevoir ex League Battle Deck” in April!

    While I like the vibes of the coin flip die included in this one I would have LOVED an actual holographic Gardevoir coin !! Maybe it’s a different “tier” of their deck products that do the custom coins but that reallllly would’ve clenched the sale for me ?

    New “Armarouge ex Premium Collection” in April!

    These certainly are not the “lowest tier” of the EX boxes since the 4 pack ones exist still too And I think the new/custom skinned card displays are supposed to be what makes these collections “have value” but you’re right in saying an SIR would be absolutely the way to make people actually want...
