      My wife would say stop wasting money on cardboard paper…

      • +1

        new wife then? :-p

  • Got one for my niece for Christmas, thanks OP!

  • Dammit. Paid $80 a week ago.

      From where? Some stores like JB Hi-Fi have a 14 day price guarantee. You can go back and ask for the price difference.

      • i am try to do online price match with jb, the staff denied my request coz they dont match with clearence price…. so i dont think they will honor the price guarantee.lol

        • +1

          That's bs. They should honor the price guarantee. It's available to public (no membership required), it's a competitors price. So in my opinion they should honor it.

  • +3

    Watched a few videos and seems to have pathetic pulls lol

    • Yeah even just the stuff in it. Less packs, crappier packs.

      • +1

        What set are the 5 packs from anyway. Just random?

    • +6

      yep don't buy! the pokemon company deliberately put packs with worse pulls in the christmas boxes because they (profanity) hate kids! it's not random!!

      That’s what she said

    • +4

      My 10 year old son was pretty stoked with it. Is this meant for grown ups?

      • Never to old for Pokemon !

    • The advent calendar and Halloween packs are always just entirely gimmicky.
      Don't buy them unless you don't care about the pulls.

    • +1

      It’s $49 mate. At $7 a pack just for the packs it’s well worth it in my opinion. My kids generally destroy it so not really bothered by the pulls. It did make my kids say when I brought it home tonight and in my opinion the happy factor for them worth well more tian $49….

    These are currently $20 at Costco, facebook post.

    Remember anyone with Everyday Extra should be able to get another 10% off (it resets on the 1st of every month)

  • Can't seem to select shipping any longer with this product.. few stores around still have stock though…

    • Yep, same. Only available in store and click and collect

    Is pokemon really a game or just people being pressured by others to fit in ?

    • +1

      I don't see Pokemon being pushed on anybody

      And yes it is a game

        • +4

          Sorry but this is just plain wrong.
          I play with my son often, build decks (create new rules for the types of decks allowed) and battle it out. Plenty of decision making, risks/rewards, etc.
          It's actually a brilliant game for any age.

          Only comment would be, the game certainly gets better the more variety of cards you have.

          • -1

            @hoondaboy: THere are many similar games that dont have pokemons as their characters, do you play them ?

            Does anyone play them or is there a bias because everyone thinks Pokemon is the hip thing to select.

            If there was a game where all the pokemons were replaced with say NSW Parliamentarians would you play it, same rules just different characters ?

            • @CowFrogHorse: People play it because Pokemon isn't just a game, it's the highest grossing franchise in history. It started as a Nintendo video game and branched out from there to TCG, manga, anime, movies, toys etc. Some people buy to play, some people buy to just collect for the artwork, some but to sell rare cards. It's got nothing to do with fitting in or peer pressure.
              Who in their right mind would play if it was parliamentarians?? How does that interest anyone?

              • -1

                @Pile Driver: So what if its th e highest grossing franchise in history.

                Did you know more people in the world dont wash their hands than do ?

                Did you know more people in the world shit in water which they then bring home to cook and drink than dont ?

                The masses arent always smart.

                Did you know most of the world not that long ago thought slavery was perfectly fine because someone told them it was gods will.

                BTW: You just confirmed my point that you are playing Pokemon because everyone else is and you dont want to be left out… which is precisely my original statement.

            • @CowFrogHorse: But my comment was a reply to your statement that Pokemon "…is about as much a game as naughts and crosses".
              That's just wrong.

              But yes - all of the trading card games are much more fun if more people have them. Being the 'hip thing to select' is actually the sole purpose of any of these games and makes them more fun.

              So, for example, if everyone in the world (note, 'world') collected cards with NSW politicians that could summon magical fire storms and black holes to kill other NSW politicians (bearing in mind this is the kind of stuff 10 year olds want in a game) then sure, it might get off the ground…

              As it turns out, kids are much more interested in small cartoon animals that
              breathe fire.

        • you're not wrong. not sure why you are being downvoted.

          that being said, peer pressure isn't always negative e.g. sports. as for pokemon, i'm not too sure. there is some aspect of privilege to this activity/hobby.

          • -2

            @node modules: Because in the end, they cant accept that their kids and them as parent have been bullied to play basically ONLY pokemon.

            Its certainly not a bout the merits of the game, because as i have mentioned the main reason for selection is because they areconfirming to social norms.

            • @CowFrogHorse: Sorry, but it's another dumb comment.
              Any game of high quality can only be so because of the support (financial) of the multitudes.

              Do you play xbox or playstation games? You must have been BULLIED into playing a game that only exists because of the thousands of people who funded the game through their purchasing of the game and/or subscription.

              Do you drive a car? You must have been BULLIED into buying one of the main stream cars when you know that Carl down the road obviously builds a better car by hand. Sure it costs twice the price, has no support, looks ugly AF and falls apart with the first rain.
              But at least you didn't conform to social norms!

              • @hoondaboy: Of course i have a car, and yes i freely admit i do drive it because well sometimes its just easier to drive. Im not denying that.

                Try reading some of my past comments where i have made comments about other social norms like commuting.

                • @CowFrogHorse: what was all that talk about people shitting in water and taking it home when people were talking about pokemon cards again?

                  i was trying to follow it but it just seemed deranged, and not much to do with your assertion that pokemon was like 'noughts and crosses'?

                  can you explain your ideas to us again and stay on one subject this time?

                  • @CrowReally: Learn to write like an adult and quote what i said followed by your thoughts or q.

                    Its called context.

                    • +1

                      @CowFrogHorse: How can "bringing up a subject no one has even remotely mentioned" be an example of context, oh coherent one?

                      • @CrowReally: crow: as always you chang ethe subject and spend more time with your childish insults…

                        can you actually write anything without the same boring line ?

                        • @CowFrogHorse: It's pretty simple, bud. No one else was talking about using contaminated water for cooking, why did you bring it up to discuss why Pokemon was the same as noughts and crosses?

                          Are the concepts related? Try a simple "yes" or "no" and then expand upon that, staying in the same thought without bringing other unrelated ideas into it.

                          The only person changing the subject here is you, and I'm not sure it's something you have control over, which is why I am asking these questions.

                          Focus, if you can.

                          • @CrowReally: crow: I mentioned N & X because thats a simple game that a computer can play because it has a fixed number of moves after a basic analysis.

                            Pokemon is a very simple game, your moves are limited to what you are given, the choices are v basic. Thats how it was designed. Thats very different from chess or go where the possibilities are boundless mosts of the time.

                            In other words you dont have to be that smart to "play" pokemon, just like you dont have to be that smart to "play" O and Xs.

                            Its not a game of real skill, its just a con to sell more cards.

                            • @CowFrogHorse: Good on you for focusing and staying on the same subject (this is not sarcasm, this is one of the clearer explanations you've made on here).

                              Pokemon is more complicated that that but I'm willing to agree to disagree on the game complexity

                              • @CrowReally: yes its so complex, that you cant actually give an example to counter my statement… again you think you are a god and thereore you dont have to share reasons and examples with mere mortals.

                                • @CowFrogHorse: Christ, take a breath and relax. You want some examples of why Pokemon is more complex?

                                  Pokemons come in different types (water, light, poison) that have their own matchups and affinities

                                  They also have specific rules on their cards which affect other cards in play or viability of attacks

                                  I know you haven't thought about this stuff,.but others have, and that's why they play tournaments of this game.

                                  These are obvious reasons, there's no god complex here.

                                  • @CrowReally: You just confirmed my claim, there is little skill its pure luck based on how many cards you bought.

                                      @CowFrogHorse: Garbage argument, you might as well say the same thing about Magic: The Gathering

                                      You don't need to buy and find specific cards to play the game, you can play/battle with the base set

                                      Wait, what am I doing, explaining how a game works to a burnout who things it's all noughts and crosses and can't understand beyond simplistic thoughts like that

                                      Stick to whatever it is you like to play and let Pokemon players have their own fun

                                      Even that should be simple enough for you to understand

                                      • @CrowReally: crow: Garbage argument, you might as well say the same thing about Magic: The Gathering

                                        cow: Of course because its true.

                                        cow:of course you can, but ALL things being equal the person with the better cards will win mos tof the time.

                                        • @CowFrogHorse: Pathetic is assuming "better Pokemon cards" are just game winners.

                                          I'd love for you to try to learn the game and play someone like this

                                          Of course that would involve you playing a game with another human, and that's frankly something that will never occur

                                          Anyway, I'll let you get back to telling us all what games you've never played before are like

                                          • @CrowReally: crow: I'd love you to try to learn the game and play someone like this

                                            cow: Damn you are stupid.

                                            Of course a better player will win a novice, i originally said if players are equal, the person with better cards will beat the other person most of the time.

                                            Cant you comprehend ?

                                            IM not denying better players will beat novices, thats just stupid to pretend otherwise but hey thaats you right ?

                                            Of course Roger Federer with a shitty racquet will beat you if you have never played even if you have the best Roger F racquet, and yet you cant grasp that.

                                            • @CowFrogHorse: The channel is filled with videos of the guy using 1 Charizard or 1 level 1 Pokemon to wipe players who fill their team with 6 Rares, etc.

                                              Take your "oh it's all noughts and crosses and buying cards" shit and put in the bin, where that level of analysis belongs.

                                              • @CrowReally: Yes and that channel is edited.

                                                Just like Lotto ads never show people losing they only show people winning.

                                                • @CowFrogHorse: Cool, well show me some "edits" of you winning the same way

                                                  What's that, you can't, because you can't even play the game?

                                                  I can't believe you're jealous of that skilled individual. Childish, pathetic, embarrassing.

                                                  Take your dimwit hater trash straight to the dumpster on the way out, you are irrelevant to this discussion

                                                  • @CrowReally: i dont care about that game.

                                                    you are so simple you can understand that the channel is onlyu showing the interesting wins, its not showing the far more expected loses because of bad cards.

                                                    You really dont understand the difference between 1 win and 19 loses they are not the same values. Your channel showing 1 win doesnt mean they always win, because its not showing the 19 times they lost.

                                                    Surely you understand horse racing is also stupid because most people in the end lose money, a few might win but in the end most lose. Sometimes bad horses with big odds win but in the end they lose most of the time and if you bet on big odds you will lose your money in the end…. same as pokemon.

                                                    Its basic maths.

                                                        Thats not a good light for the pokemon community, if thats the trash it attracts.

                                                          @CowFrogHorse: I know noughts and crosses is a shit game. It's made for children, basically "My First Strategy" game.

                                                          Take a wild guess why I keep telling you to stop talking about more difficult games you can't play and to go back to noughts and (profanity) crosses.

                                                          Take your trash with you when you go, once you figure it out.

              • @hoondaboy: hoon: Do you play xbox or playstation games? You must have been BULLIED into playing a game that only exists because of the thousands of people who funded the game through their purchasing of the game and/or subscription.

                cow: yes got all the machines and yes i have shelves of originals.

                But i dont have any pokemon games…

                Anyway whetehr i do or dont is irrelevant and doesnt change my original observation. They are two separate observations and the value of one is irrelevant to the value of the other.

  • The coins are kinda cute, but I'm not trying to gamble on SV or Paldea boosters haha

  • EB Games price match

    • Did you get them to do it successfully?

      • Yes

        • So you just went to the local store and asked for price match? Did they check stock level from Big W in the same area/shopping centre?

          • @Max999: Local store, stock level in another suburb, not the closest, put it through in any case.. will depend on the person if closest big W is oos. Best of luck

  • Thanks ! Great deal 💙

  • Thanks OP! I'm sure the kids will love them!

    Just got one and second day prize pulled a magikarp 203. Selling for $100 on eBay? Did I get a good deal?

  • +1

    Anyone else not get theirs?

    I bought it. I don't live close to Big W, so I added another item to the order, too.

    Purchase went through, organised pick-up for today.

    But when I went to collect today, they said "Sorry, we ran out of that Pokeman card thing."

    Why tell me there was stock and let me buy it then!?

    Is it too much to ask, Big W, that if you don't have an item, you don't try to sell it to people?

    Complete waste of time. I'm not going to be ordering anything from Big W pickup again. Total incompetence.

    • +1

      Wait you got a confirmation that it was ready to pickup and when you went it wasn't there?
      Wow havent had that from big w ever. Sounds like the workers took it for themselves after the fact.

        I got an SMS saying it was ready, went to pick up, and they said "here's the other thing you ordered, but not the Pokemon advent calendar".

        So they had originally sold the Pokemon advent calendar to me, days earlier, despite having no stock. Complete waste of time.

        (Looking at my emails I can see one that says "some of your order got cancelled" so my surprise is partly my fault, I should have religiously checked my emails instead of going by the SMS they sent me… but my surprise is not the issue: why sell things you don't have in the first place? Big W is not some small-time struggling outfit. Is it so hard to only sell what you actually have stock of?)

        • -1

          meh not a reason to neg the deal
          the deal was a good deal.
          big w now relatively has a good stocktake on their website. (esp compared to kmart).

          • +1

            @cumova: Except that no, that's not true at all.

            They don't have accurate stock levels.

            As my experience proves.

            The deal being a unobtainable for some of us (due to Big W's incompetence, not ours, let's not forget) is absolutely a valid reason to neg a deal.

            It's not a deal if you can't get it.

            And a deal they pretend you can get, wasting your time, is worse.

              @ItsMeAgro: look what you wrote and you are blaming big w? dude. quote:

            @cumova: Big W sold this item when they had no stock, wasting our time.

            That absolutely is a reason to neg this deal.

            Some people getting lucky doesn't change that. Negs are an important warning to potential buyers that not everything about a deal is perfect. That's the point.

            • @GandalfTheCheap: no stock?
              100+ upvotes and the 2 people that downvoted only because they didnt up getting it and are sour (one person user error it seems as they received a notification that they could fill their order and they were expecting a Christmas miracle when they arrived in store)
              there was stock. they have physical stores so if you order something at 10:00am and someone walks into the store at 10:01am and buys it unfortunately your order will not get filled.
              i just said they have (and have had for a while) a much better system (not 100% perfect ie my delivery order was cancelled for this) now as compared to the likes of Kmart which is absolutely terrible.
