okay thanks guys! I'm thinking about going for the tins so I can build darkrai/hydeigon (finally) so I'll probably do that. :)

@Secret Pikachu: I'm pretty sure all we know is it's 4 packs from the BW expansions (I would assume it's a mix of DRX, DEX, and NXD packs....)

thanks again guys xD

Maybe even a better Idea to buy the tin promos for like 2 bucks a piece off of trollandtoad so then you will only have to pay like $10 for 4 darkrais if your just wanting to build darkrai hydreigon rather than paying $60 hope I helped :D
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

that would be cheaper, but I only need a couple darkrai and it would be more like $21 for 3 darkrai (at which case I rather just spend the extra $20 to get 16 packs ^^)

That would be a nice mix of packs!

I don't have much experience with this but I could see them throwing in some of the earlier Black & White set packs (Base, EP and NV). DRX, DEX and NXD sounds too good to be true :p.

And we thought it was too good to be true.

Yeah, its really lame. I would've bought all 3 if they had at least all EX-packs. Heck, even Noble Victories would've been fine for me. On a side note, I just noticed that my local cardstore had the tins too and even cheaper than what I saw on the internet sites, but only Darkrai left. So I have to wait til thuesday :/
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I wouldn't be complaining, we get the three most expensive EXs in promos, saving us heaps of money, and they are "dragon" tins, so the packs are fitting. Odd that we didn't get DE though.

A card store near me is selling a Full Art Rayquaza for $25. Is this a fair asking prize for this Full Art?

I searched this card on eBay and couldn't find it for some reason (I searched the Completed Listings as well). Weird. I think eBay's Completed Listings would give you the best idea of the value of the card, however since I can't seem to find any I'll mention that Troll & Toad has been selling the card for $29.99 for a few of weeks. Based on that, $25 is probably a fair price to pay for the card at the moment. I'd take into consideration that Rayquaza-EX will be featured on a tin in a month so the value has probably peaked and will drop a bit.

I hope that helps! :)

Yes it did thank you very much! I do plan on getting the tin as well but I want the full art for my collection.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I also suggest maybe waiting until after this season of Pokemon, or until it's not as "good" anymore. It's very new, so the price is going to be higher, so let the hype die down just a little bit. That's also an idea.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I have aroun 250 bucks to spend and I really want a case of fb/cf because I love the cards but Id like to see what you think I should buy. I play competative , but I would like to start collecting too.

IMO, if you play competitively and make good investments, you should be able to start collecting without spending a lot of money. Unless you're gonna start hardcore collecting, $250 seems like a bit much on a case of those.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Is $25(AU) good for a Darkrai EX? I would like to know, and prices are a bit jumpy on eBay
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

@mudkip it is mostly bday money as I am currently trying to find a job should I just save it
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

The last time I was on Pokebeach Forums was August 2011. I am trying to get back into TCG after selling all my cards a couple of years ago (I believe it was right before the platinum series came out). Anyways I am at Ohio State and they have a pokemon club, long story short I recently spent like $40-50 on cards. 5 booster packs from the Dragons Exalted set, a starter deck (the Accelgor one just for energies and some trainers and a playable (barely, the starter decks are never good...) deck that I can re-learn the rules for. But I have quite a bit of money (like $250-300) from the summer saved up and I want to know the best sets (I will have to review the meta) to get boxes from. I literally have like 100 cards and need to get back in the game. A prerelease will do me some good, but your help, and your patience on my rambling is greatly appreciated! Thanks, and I am glad to be back on this amazing site!
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

The most recent set, Dragons Exalted, has a bunch of good cards, and Dark Explorers and Next Destinies certainly aren't bad either. If I were in your shoes, I'd buy one box of Dragons Exalted and then save the rest of the money to purchase singles and staples and to save in reserve for the next set.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

IMO your best bet would be buying singles. With booster boxes you don't get all of the cards you need, so it'd be cheaper (and easier) to buy everything you need at once.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

If you need staples, a good set to start with would be Dark Explorers. A booster box can probably get you a full playset of Professor Juniper, N, Cheren, and Rare Candy.
