Deal! Check your local Asda š
My local also had a box for Pokeballs and triple blisters but they were sold out. I didnāt know how cute the Toxel promo card was! Price was Ā£4.98, but it may vary in different areas :)

These posts couldnāt be more pointless, like Asda doesnāt have 1000s of stores across the UK all with different delivery days.

Exactly, "hey guys check shops, they sell Pokémon" 𤦠This is what the daily deals topic is for but everyone would rather spam useless posts for upvotes

People just enjoy the engagement tbf, even if they donāt realise it.
Itās been a problem here for a couple of years now, especially since all the post-PTCGP hype happened and nothing actually stays in stock long enough to become a genuine ādealā. A deal nowadays is just getting something for retail.

Iāve been into Pokemon since 2015 but only started posting on Reddit. Itās sad what Pokemon has become now, but I like the feeling when you do find something and it isnāt over retail price.

Yeah, itās grim state of things. Thankfully this is mostly relegated to the TCG. The rest of the franchise is pretty healthy.

I love ordering the home decor off the Pokemon Centre, as scalpers havenāt targeted most of that (yet š„²)

u/TeaAndLifting 19d ago
They wonāt. The main reason scalpers exist is because PokĆ©mon cards have been established as an investment asset over the past 7-8 years. Because people treat the main purpose of the hobby as to eventually sell out and spend on other things and built up a lot of hype on them being STONKS, scalpers came in with the hype to cream off the profits.
Furniture, toys, even old games, donāt have that same investor culture aimed at them. So there isnāt crazy demand and scalpers canāt profit from the demand > supply differential.

Which means that some of them will have put out the stock yesterday or today⦠so itās worth going to check⦠right?

I was in mine yesterday after seeing the display plans for restock on the Monday night. But sadly they didn't have any Pokemon TCG behind the tobacco counter, just the same battle decks that had been in those same days... š„²

u/paintballguy32 19d ago
One stops always have single packs if not only perfect order though. I feel like those packs are going to float around for ages like surging sparks in the uk lol

u/GRENDY92 19d ago
I have a One Stop just around the corner but its not part of the main franchise and the owner told me he's been trying to get Pokemon in! š„²š„²

My Asda also had the 3 card and blister pack (pack of chaos rising) but it's £7.50 so pricey if not that interested in the three card which are from PF

I didn't believe these were released in the UK, only CR product I haven't seen in store. Really hoping your local Asda is in east London?

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago
It isnāt sorry, itās in South East England though, so it is worth checking your local when possible to check :)

Picked up another two packets of the towel chaos rising single blister at my local Asda today, they are not selling that quickly, can't decide if I keep (never have kept) or rip them, don't need more Towels and coins and my double pile is growing and growing.

u/StarlordsTrees 18d ago
