RE: The "I pulled something cool" topic.
I only started Pokemon in '08, and my first series I properly collected was Stormfront. However, I was at this shop in '09 and I saw a single EX Deoxys pack, saw that it was only £2.50 (in the UK, that's pretty cheap for a pack) and bought it. I got a Latias Gold Star from it!
I also recently got 2 random packs of Triumphant and pulled an Absol Prime and an Alph 4! Funnily enough, at the time, I'd only opened about 16-ish packs of Triumphant and had pulled 2 Alph 4s!
