Yo, how goes it you digital degens? As many of you should know by now, I have an extreme addiction to shiny cardboard. So, of course when The Pokemon company puts out a special set like this, you know I had to chase the dragon, baby. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet 151 is a special holiday set that was created to celebrate the original 151 pokemon that made up the very first base set that Pokemon ever made. So, I figured I would go hard on it since I'm an absolute fucking idiot and love to burn my money. Enjoy watching an adult gamble with childrens cardboard.
Until next time, doods. Later!
@acidyo No need to upvote or anything, but thought you might wanna see what it looks like when someone has descended fully down into an addiction to shiny cardboard. Also, fun fact, TPC took one of the coolest Mew cards ever that was in this set and removed it and instead turned it into a promo card that you have to pay $120 to get because TPC is the devil.
wtf lol, how much did these packs cost? seems like you dropped a ton into them :D
So, I had banked a bunch of store credit with a shop and that's what I used to get all these packs. Had I not done that and just paid out in cash however, it would be roughly around $550-600 in packs. And, that's if you did it as a pre-order, once this set got closer to drop the price for the specific product I got the packs from went hella up (I pre-ordered a bunch of booster bundles which are these little boxes with 6 packs in them for $26 MSRP. Stores started charging $35-40 per booster bundle a week before release).
Normally I would have just grabbed booster boxes because that's so much cheaper in the end, but because this is a special "holiday" set there are no booster boxes. Again, because TPC is the super mega devil.
Also, this is the mew card you could pull in the Japanese version but not the english. Imagine how hyped it would have been to pull one of these
Instead, you gamble on getting a damaged one because they package their promo's so terribly :)
Also, also, I was serious that you didn't need to upvote or anything, man. Appreciate it nonetheless, you cutie.
Hey a new set of Pokemon is about to be released, and one of the cards made me think of you, check it out!
lol cool! it kind of looks like me attempting to draw him on mspaint when i was 10 too xD
LOL!
I was thinking of you when I saw they turned the MEW full art into a promo card. Right now you have to drop 120 USD to get the box set with it in it, but I have been seeing it selling online for 15-25$.
Yeah, if you see the promo I posted and decide you want one you'd be better off just buying one off ebay for $20, Acid. Mine came damaged with a dent at the top and my metal Mew promo came misaligned on the back and looks super scuffed. I've been waiting to hear back from TPC if they'll let me swap them out. Lets gooo.
Your a G! I am loving this 151 set. So far I got a ETB love the Snorlax Promo, and pulled the Venusaur ex, the poster collection and got Erica's Invitation, and the binder collection and did not pull anything. But the binder is very nice! I really love the Mew promo, and will just get it online instead of dropping 120 on the UPC.
Sounds like some good pulls! I pre-ordered the UPC from The Pokemon Center when they were offering the squirtle promo with it since I had 10 percent off, so I just figured the promo's would be $50-60 all together so I might as well get one for the extra squirtle one. My UPC had 2 hits total and both were the same exact card, so it bent me over and spread my cheeks pretty hard.
Yeah I fell your pain! The other day I was proud of my son for taking him to the card shop and I told him I would get him a couple packs, but instead he said he would rather pick out a single card for the same price. I still be getting packs hoping for the best, and getting the worst, lol
A squirtle promo?? That is pretty cool
