The Pokemon Company International has revealed our upcoming Special Set, Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates which will be released on January 24, 2024. This set is based on the Japanese high-class set Shiny Treasure ex which will be released 2 weeks from now on the 1st of December. There will be 'more than 130 Shiny Pokémon' in Paldean Fates, I've added some of them below. Curious to know which cards will be in the set? View the Visual set list here. Keep in mind this list is still incomplete. The ETBs will also include a nice Mimikyu promo, also attached. It also looks like we will be getting the Shiny Charizard ex as a promo inside a tin. How are we liking this set so far?

I just read they restocked the Pokemon merch at the Van Gogh Museum shop. But unfortunately I did not get a notification of the restock (but I did checked the box earlier when I registered...) So now a long queue...

Hi, my name is Pines, I'm located in Germany. My favorite card in my collection is Mew EX SAR from sv2a. The reason I collect is Nostalgia and Fun.

Hi, my name is Dennis and I'm from the Netherlands. My favorite card in my collection is Wailord Ex from Sandstorm (purely because of the memories of having the highest HP Pokemon at the time). I collect mostly because of nostalgia.

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.
