On the 18th of November (so in 3 days) The Pokemon Company International is launching a new campaign called Poké Post in the UK, France and Germany. This is a limited-time promotion running on specific dates and at specific locations until the 19th of December 2023. Basically, you can visit a Poké Post mailing office (picture attached) to receive a special Pokémon Trading Card Game gift, and one to send to a friend via postcard. They even made a special website for the promotion: https://poke-post.com/en-GB When and where this is happening: UK: https://poke-post.com/en-GB/when DE: https://poke-post.com/de-DE/when FR: https://poke-post.com/fr-FR/when How it works: Come down to our Poké Post Mailing Office, collect a Pokémon Trading Card Game gift, address your envelope, slip it through the Poké Post counter, and then receive your own gift pack to take home and keep! Strike your best pose in the photo areas and meet Pikachu or Eevee at scheduled times throughout the day. Once in the queue, you will be given the choice of either a Pikachu or Eevee themed envelope containing a corresponding Pokémon Together promo card inside, together with a Pokémon Scarlet & Violet fun pack. Meaning there’s one themed gift pack for you, and the other for the special Trainer in your life! Pretty cool promotion and I love that they are doing more of these in the EU! PS: If you don't have anyone to send the card to, why not send it to a community member who can't go! Drop a comment if you would like to send or receive a card to/from someone.

Hey people, somehow through browsing reddit I managed to find this community and I am happy I did. The idea of this community is great and I feel like my own idea of starting to collect Pokemon cards again fits perfectly with the idea and values behind this community. I like to think I am smart with money and I am definitely someone who thinks more than twice before making any purchase. I love the idea of being able to assemble a collection I love over the years while at the same time it being a sort of investment that simultaneously grows in value. A little about me personally, I am 28 and grew up with everything you can imagine Pokemon related. Played all the games, had all the original cards, watched all the anime etc. My favorite Pokemon is Lucario, so one of my personal collecting goals is for sure to some day have all the different Lucario cards in my collection. Already I can say that the tracking sheet is super convenient. Quickly managed to set it up and for now I only added the valuable cards from the 151 collection. Since that is definitely a set I have my eyes on right now to help me get started again. I hope to experience many more awesome things like this by being a part of this community.

I hope most of you have seen the recent news about the new english set Paradox Rift. For me, it's going to be an absolute buy! Does anyone have any clue where to pre-order this set in Europe? I've tried proxy shipping from the US but the prices there are so insane that they're not worth pre-ordering there... What do you guys think about the new set? Is it going to be a hit or miss?
