Pokemon Centre Japan has Clay Burst boxes made-to-order
WOTC Wednesday features Giovanni and his massive, blue Gyarados
Made to order
Upon the massive hype of Clay Burst in Japan with customers waiting hours to grab their take, and booster packs selling out store after store, the Pokemon Centre has announced they will allow applications to have a Clay Burst booster box made to order.
Applications open 3:00pmJST on May 11th.
Orders are limited to 1 box per person.

There is already a prepared virtual waiting room when orders inevitably become congested.
So much trouble for a box of cardboard.
But we all know who’s behind this.
Iono, still selling for stupid high prices.
There’s always a chance for us English simpletons to get her in Paldea Evolved when it releases on June 9th.
WOTC Wednesday
Giovanni’s Gyarados 1st Edition
Giovanni’s Gyarados 5/132 Illus. Ken Sugimori
Deep. Immersive. Gaping mouth. Gyarados is without a doubt one of the most intimidating Pokemon from generation 1.
This card comes from the Gym Challenge set from the year 2000.
Prices look to be dippin’ a lil’ bit. But as with all vintage cards, it’s better to have bought them 10 years ago. My FOMO hits hard these days.
This is one of the more unpopular Pokemon from the popular group of generation one.
Yes, I did colour code the results.
As you can see, Gyarados is just behind Dragonite in popularity. While it is a very known Pokemon, it just isn’t liked as much. Or at least there aren’t as many people searching for Gyarados.
Charizard is there for obvious reasons, and Metapod was added in to help make Gyarados feel a little better.
Who’s my good little atrocious Pokemon?
Do you have this card?
Do you shit your pants a little when you look at it?
I need to know.
Lloyd opens
5x Lost Origins blisters from Target.
(I ordered 10 from my local Target and they only had 8 left in store. Low stock alert!)
(Yes, I still have 3 unopened. 2 more on the way)
Best and only pull was Castform TG 🥱
Okay, I admit it is a pretty cool card.
Low pull rates strike again.
