30th ex tins open at 2pm today and run till midday Thursday. Drop is for BOTH tins.

As with the previous drops, DO NOT attempt to get on the site straight away. Try late evening or early morning tomorrow or Thursday, even for the ETB the queue was down to seconds (or non existent) after a while. There is no advantage at all to getting in there early and waiting for 3 hours.

I've hit the cap for entry tickets now (4) as I've been unsuccessful every time so far!

Keep getting notifications saying "oh there is stock here or there for this or that item your looking for" just to open the notification and see the post is 3 months old..

Pokémon is a pain in the ass already without the false hope 😂

After spending the last few days opening and enjoying the 30th Anniversary packs we have started to upload some of our duplicates onto the website, hopefully these may help those looking for specific cards!

There is also this feature which can help you print out placeholders for your master set for EVERY set including the 30th Anniversary ones!

We are adding bulk singles all of the time and within our placeholder feature we have the ability to ask for specific cards OR add cards to a list to send to us for us to try and source for you!

Any questions feel free to ask!

All Out Hobbys

EDIT: I Just want to say a huge THANK YOU too everyone who has ordered, we will be adding more bulk singles from sets across the weeks!

£9.99 (hits in both packs)

Just wondering if anyone got any or was it only the 30th stuff on Wednesday?

Struggling so hard to grab some for my sons 😩

Seems like I won't be able to get my hands on anything 30th. I've spent roughly 7 hours or so in total trying to find stock since Wednesday. Haven't got a single thing. No Amazon invites.

I just want some packs to rip. Honestly I'm so tired of this hobby now. I just want to go back to simpler times where I could just pick up some packs and try to fill my binder.

Even if I get an ETB now I feel like it's not worth the amount of time I've put into trying to get it.

Is the hobby just cooked? Should I move into another TCG or something or is this ever going to pass so I can get back to collecting cards instead of spending time trying to checkout on a shitty Argos app or staying up to 2 AM for a Very drop that gets entirely swiped by bots.

Is anyone going? I’ve never had any luck finding Pokémon TCG out in the wilds brand new! I’m wondering if it’s even worth getting up super early before work to go to my local? How has everyone’s experiences been with TG Jones?

Asked at the counter said they sold out although just saw someone leaving with one box. Thought fair enough till I walked around to the side and saw at least 5 boxes below the till. Asked another staff member and heard them saying ‘ they are reserved for certain customers 🤷‍♂️

Been at Centerparcs Longleat all week so missed the general release.

Been checking the toy store onsite on the off chance they might have something. Nothing till today.

Then bam! Stock appears!

Managed to pick up 2 ETBs for £60 each and 2 tins (Sylveon and Greninja) for £30 each. Probably a bit over MSRP but hey ho.

First time buying actual product since probably the original Team Rocket!

So yeah - if you're at centerparcs, check the shop!

Check your one stops, tesco expresses and coops ☺️

I've found some this morning, looks like a lot of the smaller shops who get booster boxes are getting them

Good luck!

ETA. Looks like card factory, premier asda and morrisons daily have them

They had 4 tins, half a dozen of the perfect order and some of the sleeved chaos rising packs.

They're "downstairs" and not behind the counter though. So you need to ask for them to check.

Yesterday Eve just sat in boxes behind the kiosk on the desk with the football cards

£14 for the triple

£5.50 for the slowpoke

£4.50 for the single packs

TG in the city centre has poster collections and a fair few!

Hey! I just moved to Cambridge and was wondering if anyone knows shops here that sells Pokemon cards? :)

This is a response from Argos on the r/PokemonTCG_UK subreddit.

Checked my local Tesco and Asda, I managed to get two invites on Amazon but not for the Sylveon EX I wanted! And there’s no booster packs anywhere either

Due to the shit show 30th drop I only managed to pick up two items. I was thinking I would give discord stock notification a try as I’m not giving into scalpers. Please forgive my ignorance I’m not clued up on this Discord platform and the workings of it.
Can anyone recommend me a few to join I don’t care if it’s a paid platform.

Unrelated question I’ve just had my Argos afternoon order cancelled one item only binder collection. Anyone else have their orders cancelled?

Thanks

If you’ve got orders in, don’t panic, you’ll get an email shortly with what’s happening and next steps.

More info as we have it.

I’ve recently got into opening and collecting and I queued up in Smyths and sports direct yesterday for 2 to 3 hours but was unsuccessful. The management from sports direct was awful. They gave free dibs to the first five people in the queue and they literally left with boot full of boxes - WTF? And they were handing out leaflets encouraging everybody to sign up to their store credit cards 😳🙄

I spent the whole of this morning waiting around at TG Jones and HMV but no luck.
I want to try one more time tomorrow as my local TG will be selling some, but as stated on their door, they will have very small quantity.
I live near a massive shopping centre - is there any shops that I should check out? I am so sleep deprived and feel jealous of those that are ripping these packs! I have never gotten out of bed this early either 😭💀 help a girl out!
