RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I'm thinking of buying a Reshiram EX tin, because I need a Reshiram EX for my Reshiram/Emboar/Mewtwo EX deck. Is it worth it?:
I wouldn't, because Reshiboar is dead. I would consider the Darkrai tins, as they are playable.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Well, the Reshiboar deck is only deck I can afford to build right now, until I can get a job. Besides, I only have $31 to spend, that's not enough to build a Darkrai deck.

Hmmm, honestly, I would save your money until you can buy a Darkrai deck. You really won't win with Reshiboar. Darkrai and Mewtwo are out in tins, so you could go for a Darkrai/Mewtwo deck.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I'm wanting to buy a Korean booster box, mainly because they're really cheap, but I was just wondering which you think is best to buy? I'd like one with a good amount of cards so I don't end up getting too many duplicates, and with a good amount of EXs, holos, etc. (Also a good pull ratio though I believe they're all the same?) Thanks!
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

The pull rates are the poorer than Japanese. You will come up 4 - 5 Holo rares short. I have only pulled 1 SuperRare Holo. Set size is the same as Japanese. The quality is about the same as English.

I do have extras for trade. I currently have
Series 1
BW1 Black & White
BW2 Red Collection
BW3 Psycho Drive · Hail Blizzard
BW4 Dark Rush
Dragon Selection - Sealed boosters or a set of 1-20

They don't sound too bad then, especially for the money they cost too. I don't mind not completing the set, I just wanted to buy a box that I'm most likely to get more different cards in (if any), and then I will probably trade for the rest. I'm thinking either Psycho Drive/Hail Blizzard, Dark Rush or Dragon Blast/Dragon Blade. Thanks. :)
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

If price is an issue, 1 box for BW4 Dark Rush is cheaper than 2 boxes for BW3 Psycho Drive · Hail Blizzard or BW5 Dragon Blast - Dragon Blade.

It's not really price I'm bothered about, more the pulls I can get from 1 box. I know Dark Rush is a pretty small set so wouldn't I be more likely to get more duplicates from that one?
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Actually Dark Rush is the larger set.

BW5 Dragon Blast - 50 cards
BW5 Dragon Blade - 50 cards
BW4 Dark Rush - 69 cards
BW3 Psycho Drive - 52 cards
BW3 Hail Blizzard - 52 cards
BW2 Red Collection - 66 cards
BW1 Black - 53 cards
BW1 White - 53 cards

Really? I must have mistakenly thought that it was the same as the Japanese sets. :p
I think I might go for that one then. Thanks a bunch for your help.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I'd like to buy boxes/cases with good resale values. (Reselling individual cards or sealed individual booster packs)

What should I buy?

I live in Thailand so a decent online store to buy them with low shipping rates would be great, as well. Recently purchased a Dragons Exhalted and Dark Explorers box from DACardWorld, but they screwed up the shipping info and duty information in so many ways that I almost paid 30% more than I should have. That in mind, where are some suggested retailers with international shipping?

Both paragraphs are statements, what is the question?

As this is a "What Should I Buy?" thread, one could assume that I meant to include a "What should I buy?" in there somewhere. I've edited my post to reflect this.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Spending advice

So, I'm getting 40$ soon!

I am thinking of what to buy thats TCG related.

I'm thinking: 1 of each of the new tins

MAYBE a trainer box

8 blisters

Or just save up for a Plasma storm/Freeze box.

Inb4 your choice.
 
I sold my Charizard Misprint SR for $45 and Final Fantasy 4 DS for 10. What should I buy to get a decent return?? Or should I just wait for Plasma Freeze and try to get a box, since my current backup deck will shift MAJORLY after that set (needs Plasma Ball, Ghetsis, Frozen City, Shadow Triad, Float Stone)?
