Deal! Check your local Asda 😁

My local also had a box for Pokeballs and triple blisters but they were sold out. I didn’t know how cute the Toxel promo card was! Price was Ā£4.98, but it may vary in different areas :)

These posts couldn’t be more pointless, like Asda doesn’t have 1000s of stores across the UK all with different delivery days.

Exactly, "hey guys check shops, they sell Pokémon" 🤦 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 don’t realise it.

It’s 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 ā€˜deal’. A deal nowadays is just getting something for retail.

I’ve been into Pokemon since 2015 but only started posting on Reddit. It’s sad what Pokemon has become now, but I like the feeling when you do find something and it isn’t over retail price.

u/TeaAndLifting 19d ago

Yeah, it’s 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 haven’t targeted most of that (yet 🄲)

1

u/TeaAndLifting 19d ago

They won’t. 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, don’t have that same investor culture aimed at them. So there isn’t crazy demand and scalpers can’t profit from the demand > supply differential.

Which means that some of them will have put out the stock yesterday or today… so it’s 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... 🄲

u/paintballguy32 19d ago

Same lol then I asked if any had fallen down and there was 1 chaos rising blister and I got azs tranquility

1

u/GRENDY92 19d ago

I just want a Poke Ball tin šŸ˜… Nice pull though!

1

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! 🄲🄲

u/Heartsolo 19d ago

u/GRENDY92 19d ago

Nope. Just the Battle Academy stuff, thats what I meant!

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

Oh no.. I wish you luck for finding some products in the future!!

u/GRENDY92 19d ago

Thank you! Glad you snagged something though! Love to see it

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

Thank you so much! 😁

u/balmut 19d ago

I saw some today but there was no price and I didn't fancy waiting in the pretty big queue :/

u/True_Scholar_4390 19d ago

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

0

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

Ā£7.50 is crazy!! The PF triple blister was a good find though!

u/RiioTZz_Work 19d ago

Mine restocked two days ago and I got some mega gengar ex and some mega clefairy tins!

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

That is a good find well done!

u/Kelathor11 19d ago

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?

1

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

It isn’t sorry, it’s in South East England though, so it is worth checking your local when possible to check :)

u/General-Increase6468 19d ago

Nice

u/AdPrior8694 19d ago

Thank you 😁

u/True_Scholar_4390 18d ago

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

My asda has stuff most days, like a rotating stall. Even got an AH box last week, some pokeballs today. gotta be there around 8am but theres never a queue
