Booster Pack/"Look What I Just Got!" Thread

[donavannj]

My guess is that it would be a better deal in your case, though those dollar amounts do sound a bit high for single boosters from the earlier sets.

Thanks mate, Will weigh up the pro's and con's.

Got my first theme deck and booster pack in over a decade!

I got the toxic tricks theme deck and haven't been beaten on TCGOnline yet. I really like the Scolipede card.

My Emerging Powers booster came with some nice cards, including a reverse holo (That's when the card is shiny but the picture isn't, right?) of Audnio and a full-card art Tornadus. I don't know how rare or not rare they are, but they're cool looking.

I assume they don't, but I just wanted to confirm, the HS4 theme decks don't come with codes to be played on Pokemon TCGO, correct? They're on Amazon cheap right now, but 99% of my playing is probably going to be online, if not I'll probably save up and get more EP Boosters and the other theme deck

 

[PetalDanceD]

Bought 1 jungle booster, 5 fossils and 6 base set boosters along with 3 or 4 theme decks

I'll have Vaporeon, Gyarados, Muk, Lapras, Charizard, Machamp, Blastoise & Hitmonchan holo cards plus whatever i get in the boosters.

Jungle boosters! That brings me back, 90% of my old cards are jungle cards.

I bought 2 emboar tins at Target and pulled only two good cards which is Pachirisu and Ursaring Prime... Talking about two expensive cards lol...

 

[donavannj]

Could've been worse. :P

Could've been where you bought 15 boosters and got 3 decent rares. It's happened to me before.

lol, that has to suck. Do you happen to know how much the new tins are going to run when they are released? I am contemplating on preordering on ebay.

Bought a shadowless booster pack from the original series for around $50 AU. I am telling you it better have a holo in it!. GRRR haha.

They usually park them at $15 apiece.

Though I remember when they used to be $10 apiece, though they were smaller and had fewer packs in them.

Spoilt myself today and bought a 1st edition fossil booster box containing 36 booster packs for $260 bucks, not including postage. I am awating a Jungle box to come to light on Ebay a well, There is one but they are normal and not 1st edition so would obviously prefer the first edition version. Not even going to bother with a base set 1st edition box because they go for several thousand i've heard. Cheapest 1st edition booster pack i've seen for base set is $160 that is in english. Not worth it if you miss out on a holo and i don't think i am willing to take that chance to get a trainer star card.

As mentioned above i bought a shadowless booster which was like $50 which is more around the figure i am willing to gamble.

 

[PetalDanceD]

Received five fossil boosters in the mail, not 1st edition stamp. Wasn't smart enough to realise that the 1st edition packs isn't that much more. But I got a 2 out of 5 holo strike rate. Got a Magneton fossil and a Lapras (which is my 2nd holo Lapras.

1st ed Fossil Booster box should be arriving tomorrow <3 and hopefully my base set shadowless booster pack.

 

[pkolaboy]

I might be buying a ND Booster box today so I will update this post if I do! :)

 

[PokemonCardMaster1001]

I opened a box of Next Destinies today and pulled these:

FA Shaymin EX
Zekrom EX
Kyurem EX
Shiny Emboar

5 each of Prism Energy, Skyarrow Bridge, Pokemon Center, Cilan, Heavy Ball, and Level Ball
4 Double Colorless Energy

Reverse holo DCE, Prism Energy, Skyarrow Bridge, Pokemon Center, Heavy Ball, and Cilan

I also picked up a Mewtwo Collection box yesterday and pulled a normal Regigigas EX.

I'm getting three more boxes of Next Destinies tomorrow, so I'll post the contents of those boxes tomorrow.

EDIT: Opened the three boxes, these were my major pulls:

Box 1

Reshiram EX
Mewtwo EX
FA Mewtwo EX!
Shiny Zoroark

Yes, it is possible to pull two Mewtwo in one box!

Box 2

Regigigas EX
Mewtwo EX
FA Kyurem EX
Shiny Emboar

Box 3

Regigigas EX
Zekrom EX
FA Kyurem EX (again)

Definitely four awesome boxes overall. It's especially cool that three of the four boxes had a Shiny in them, as the odds were supposedly 1 every three boxes. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

 

[FlamingTorchic]

if 1 shiny out of every 3 boxes is true then it must be the same for platinum: arceus, except for i only got 7 packs and found a shiny shinx card and a shiny ponyta card

 

[Dane Maiatsu Puffizard]

Oh my...i

I just got Mewtwo EX from Next Destinies. Best day of my life. Also hit a Charizard Blister and Noble Victories Pack. Should I buy a booster box for next destinies?

 

[Raikou Trainer]

if 1 shiny out of every 3 boxes is true then it must be the same for platinum: arceus, except for i only got 7 packs and found a shiny shinx card and a shiny ponyta card

They seem to change the pull rate of Shinies every time they bring them back to the TCG. For the Platinum series, the odds of pulling a Shiny is about 1 every 36 packs (1 per booster box).

Anyway, I picked up 12 more packs of Next Destinies today, and pulled a normal Reshiram EX.

 

[KenXEcker]

I bought 3 boxes of ND and got

1 Reshiram EX
1 Shaymin EX
1 Zekrom EX
2 Kyurem EX
1 Regigigas EX
1 FA Mewtwo EX
1 FA Zekrom EX
1 FA Shaymin EX
1 Shiny Zoroark. (I was hoping for Chandelure, but oh well)
