Love it when a box comes together!

06/08/2013: Our trip to Tesco's are sometimes worth it! The box you see below was almost empty of theme decks, so as you do, Ash  went on look out as I emptied the box. Wasn't sure if this was okay to do, but I see it as doing them a favour by removing unwanted "rubbish". Bought some cards as well. Would have felt like a bum walking in and just taking a free, empty box. It was a theme deck sized box so it will be holding my sealed theme deck collection. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain a few more of these boxes. I like the organised look it gives on the shelves.

The Plasma Freeze theme deck box and some Black and White single blister packs at the front. Love them promo cards! I will have all BW promos! I will!

And here is the collection so far. The main difference is the theme deck box and a couple of blister packs. Looks more organised.

Coming up is the exciting opening of the new (at the time) Plasma Blast booster box!

Until next time!

Pokemon Online!

Got a special delivery! Myself and Ash are addicted to the online Pokemon Trading Card Game. So as you do, I bought a ton, literally! Got a great deal from a contact within a local Facebook group, PokemonTCG@Meta

22/07/2013:

This was heavy. Muahahahaha

And here's why! Looka all them lovelies! 

All sorted by themes. Can you name them all? :P

We're going to love using them all and making decks to battle each other. We are aware that we can't use some of the older sets for tournaments and league games. Something to do with league rules and moving out older sets. Makes sense. Anyways, must dash. In Scotland and there's tea and coffee to be had!

A wild Blogger appeared!

Hello there!!

Tis been awhile! It seems as though I start most my entries saying that... Hopefully this will change. I say 'hopefully', because I've started doing a bit more filming of myself opening the Pokemon products. I mean, I've done it before in the past, but those videos will never see the light of day. They were soooo bad and cringe worthy! The ones I've done recently are bad as well, but there's some slight improvement. 

Will be editing them and putting them up on YouTube within the next week. 

In the huge gap between posts I've gathered a ton of new Pokemon goodies! I'll be splitting these up into a number of posts to keep any potential readers on their toes. Plus, it'll help me organise things a little better. :P


16/07/2013: Finally got my hands on a complete Base Set! The very first set of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. I still can't believe I actually own the complete set. These were the cards that started it all off. I may have jumped and skipped around a little when flicking through them. Here's a few highlights:

Front and back cover! Let the nostalgia burn into your eye holes!

Take in the holo-ness! Taakkkee ittt!

That's right! Your eyes haven't deceived you. That is a genuine Charizard from the base set! Booya!

The purchase of the base set even came with a few promo cards from the Wizards Black star collections. Pikachu and Electrobuzz from the 'Mewtwo Strikes Back' theatrical movie release and Mew from the Pokemon League in 2000.

Found my old cards stashed away in a make shift box which I created back in thee day! (Added a few of the newer ones into it for safe keeping.)

This is what I HAD. Had being the key word. It has greatly increased and is taken up many more shelves since this photo was taken. But what we do have here is, many Plasma Freeze goodies, binder full of random holos from the old Jungle, Team Rocket and Base set series. Also on the left I have started to collect the old theme decks. My aim is to eventually own all the theme decks (sealed).

Stay tuned. There's a few more posts coming this way within the next few days! Perhaps even a YouTube video!

More Pokemon for 2014!

Hello again!

It has been a while since either of us posted, but we have been silently collecting away...
Matt has got himself a whole lot of X/Y stuff to open, which he plans to share on the blog, and as for me...well, it has been slower, since I've gotten to the more expensive cards in my want list.
(namely Pop Gold Star Umbreon and Espeon!)

My want list has been updated, and check out these little gems I managed to get my mitts on:

The Eevee binder above was actually a gift from Matt for my birthday back in October, and it contained the cards pictured across from it. It was an awesome surprise, but little did I know English holos of the same set would be along not too long after -- the collecting never ends! : )

Anyway, these will be added on my collection page, and feel free to keep checking back for the X/Y updates from Matt!

A Little Something For The Girls...

Hello!
Ash here, with a first update...

I found these awesome little earrings and charms of the Eeveelution clan on Ebay:

(showing how they attach as well)

As well as Pokemon, there's plenty of other gaming characters and what-not.
Definitely worth a look, as they can be used for a lot more than girl jewelry, if you're not that way inclined. Take a look at them HERE.

Now, as for cards....I'm afraid there's little for me to update on at the moment, since I collect individual cards more than sets, and as such, they make less than glorious pictures. I will sort out the Collection Page as soon as I can though. : )

Until then, more hunting for the Gold Star lot, and watching Matt rip open his Plasma Blast sets!
