It was the celebi mythical collection boxes , my local card shop is not sure how many there getting and there mew boxes were gone so fast that I'm just being safe , plus these boxes seem to be the only thing that they are selling for almost the same as toys r us / Walmart. Usually way cheaper
Not the same poster but I'm curious about this. Getting back into the Pokémon TCG and it's so pricey on most online stores. Do any stores that sell TCG have free shipping? Was going to buy from Gameshack.ca but it had $14 shipping fees.
Also, does anyone know if the free cards they're giving out at Toys R Us require a purchase? I had to deal with an EB Games telling me I needed to buy something to get a Pokémon code last year (or the year before) and I don't want to drive there only to get told to buy something.
Local card shops are best as they usually have best prices and also are the ones supporting local leagues by providing a space to play. I always try to buy local when I can. Where do you live?
This shop from Montreal has an online shop: http://www.cartamagica.com/carta-magica-montreal
I think Craving for a Game and Magic Stronghold from the Vancouver area sell Pokemon from their online shop as well.
eBay.ca and Amazon.ca are also good spots for singles and where I go if I can't find it from local players (check Facebook for your local Pokemon TCG group) or local stores.
Edit: Your profile says Manitoba so maybe give http://www.galaxy-comics.ca/ a call?
I live right in Southern Winnipeg (literally a walk away from the perimeter), so literally every local shop is an hour or two away via bus. I wanted to look for a Pokémon League on the Pokémon website, but the search function in Canada is broken (or it's just me). Would love to try playing at a local Pokémon League since I'm really enjoying TCGO;
Super off topic. I'm in winnipeg and my 6 year old wants to get into Pokemon cards. How do I get him started

Maybe one of these http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/pokemon-2015-trainer-kit/6000193119410
It comes with two premade decks and some counters, also explains how to play .
That looks perfect. Thanks! Should even arrive in time for his birthday in a few weeks.
Me! I actually played it at PSX with the VR headset. It was really cool.
Other thread is a little quiet, so I'll post here too.
Roy amiibo is now up on BestBuy.ca website for pre-order. Direct link.

Thanks for this!! Finally Roy is mine.
Thanks!
Yes! Can't wait. I seem to remember that it is a new port that will support VR, but VR won't be a necessity. Hoping that's the case, as I probably won't have a VR headset at launch

Still in stock after two hours?! Wow, so only EBgames (severely) understocked it after all.

I did the exact same thing. Franco kernel solved all my issues with the 5x. Highly recommended
If you guys want to take a trip down memory lane back to a time when deals actually existed, Tsilon/Arcademy is officially dead and the misters are breaking kayfabe:

Except he literally says that RFD and bots weren't a problem that had any bearing on the shut down.

All this TCG talk makes me want to dig out my Pokemon cards.

All you had to do was download a save from Gamefaqs and rename it to whatever you want.
That's what I did
I don't know what to do, I only want Roy but 1 amiibo alone isn't enough for free shipping and their isn't much else I need from Best buy at the moment.
Feeling really depresed right now. With some handheld games at $55 and console games at $85 they are simply too expensive for me even WITH a 30% discount and what's worse is some of them just aren't available for that due to being listed after E3 but released before cyber monday or listed after Cyber monday but releasing before the next e3.
And while it's well and good to wait for a price drop on triple aaa games like Assassin's cred where it'll go to $20 or less if you wait long enough but since I like niche games like rpgs many of them never really drop in price much, they simply just go out of stock instead.

That's early. Even for shipping across country.
Project Guard...
Yeah, either pre-order the Roy amiibo with something that's not expected to come out (at all or not for a long time, so you have time to cancel the remaining item in the order afterward) or add something to your order that bumps you up to free shipping and then just return the unwanted item to the store.
Galaxy Comics which I linked to above is probably your only league. Meets weekly at 6:30 PM on Thursdays it looks like.
After learning to play using that starter deck, can take him to the league at Galaxy Comics to hopefully find other people to play with. Leagues often have a mix of kids, teens, and adults to play.Super off topic. I'm in winnipeg and my 6 year old wants to get into Pokemon cards. How do I get him started

I had such a great time with Tsilon, not to mention free games. Miss that site.

I assume Tsilon shut down because Future Shop was slowly dying, and decided whatever goodwill and revenue they got from the site wasn't worth bankrolling the partnership. Or hell, maybe a change of management did it: quirky marketing initiatives tend to be the first to die whenever something like that happens.

Press X to buy

Damn, didn't realize the discount for owning it would be so significant. Kinda wish I had bought it when it was on sale then.
Oh, interesting, I thought it was a pricing error, I've seen another with Far Cry Primal when it was priced at $54.99 Standard and $64.99 Deluxe back when it launched lol.
Wow I just spent one hour on the phone with bestbuy. My pre orders from futureshop I can't add a credit to the account no more on the phone. The nice lady had me place on order for the games on bestbuy website. She than adjusted each of my games to 49 $. Only issue is I can't see the discount on my order history on the website. She swears I got the discount. Very good customer service this time. Other times it was a nightmare changing stuff on the account.

Code Name S.T.E.A.M (3DS) is $20 on clearance at Best Buy.
Well worth it if you are a fan of Intelligent Systems games

Aww fuck yeah, I was going to wait for a sale on heavy rain but this is even better.
Loved that site, those were the best of times when it was firing on all cylinders. Seems Future Shop was happy with it for a while too, nice to know that at least it worked out well for the most part before it died (as all things eventually do)
