[TheGuyWhoReviewz]

[pokecollection]

@TheGuyWhoReviewz Yes, and yes! :)

[TheGuyWhoReviewz]

[primexpoke2]

[ducttaperules1]

@primexpoke2 its cost $40 for the whole shabang

[OldTownTwin1]

do you get the cards you open after the competition/event

[pokemonteen13]

can u go to a pre realese and just open the six packs they give u and leave

[Hontasfamily]

Is that free?!?!?!

[iTzJuniorOT]

these videos are started to teach me to be more mature with my sister now...i mean like i should stop messing with her much and should start being nice....im a douche

[supperjin]

The dude at 4:36. Was he crying about not getting a level x or is that just the way he talks lol?

[TheSmgQuest]

Wow those kids destroyed those cards they were so excited. lol

[Vxproductionz]

[Togepi7m50x]

uuurrrggg stupid bakugong pokemon rules!!

[cards4cards1]

looks like there is a shit load of warhammer 40k there

[TehAw3x]

You would think Australia would have more of this kind of thing... But it doesn't ):

[haydzrox1]

yer australia pretty much sucks wen it comes 2 cards the only places u can get em is kmart n ebgames and sumtimes target but in all them places its like 7 bucks a booster pack ayye

[SonicTube720]

Wrong They Have Pre Releases In Australia

[1976coolman]

wow almost everybody got lv X s

[SuziG23]

Your sister is so cute!

[perferstrategy]

Hey, this looks fun as to play. I need to go there, but im noob, I want to learn how to play because I love pokemon. I actually play yu gi oh but wouldn't mind trying out pokemon, cuz im kind of a variety game player. Vagabond in Auckland city, I need to get there and play hehe.

[pokecollection]

That's awesome - you should try it out. I think vagabond Takapuna is a lot more popular with pokemon than the town store from what i've seen, especially with the stuff you can get.

Looking forward to the next pre-release. Will probably learn how to play eventually.

[hydronoidking123]

ur sister what? haunter is evolving? hahahaha lol

[hydronoidking123]

she was so excited

[deathclaw117]

omg i wish i was there but i live in upstate NY

[hydronoidking123]

Me TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[PokemonPpt]

3:14 I know him as well

[PokemonPpt]

1:44 I know those two!

[pokecollection]

haha everyone was new to me...

[PokemonPpt]

Well I know quite a lot of them since I go to the hobby league on Sundays

[pokecollection]

That's cool man. I may come in again sometime after my exams for a bit of a visit if I drop down to Taka. May bump into you too, would be good to meet ya. I made the mistake of not actually bringing my binders in last time. However, if I was to bring all of them in now, I'd be having a problem - they way more than 20Kg altogether, haha. Oh dear...

[PokemonPpt]

That'll be great =] It starts at 11:00 AM, there'll be quite a lot of people, you can just go to trade.

[pokecollection]

I realised I accidentally put down 'way' instead of 'weigh' in my last message. Whoops.

Anyway, yeah man. Will keep that in mind. Probably won't be down till mid-late november though, haha. But it was fun the last time, would be great to do it again.

[PokemonPpt]

OMG I was going to go

Pity I didn't you must've met my friend Darren

[pokecollection]

Yeah, I'm still in touch with him actually - how come you didn't get to go?

[SnorlaxSushi]

This is like heaven to me, God i love pokemon!

[digimaster88]

I WISH YOU WERE MY BROTHER :'(

[MrPokemonmaster24]

where is NZ located?

[338jon]

It's a island in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia and the South Pole

[Jackeevee93]

i love absol <3 i love it soo much i actually ordered one on the internet ^W^ though i have 3 other lv x from this set i got staraptor fb lv x electivire fb lv x and blaziken fb lv x :3 youre a nice guy :3

[MaxR024]

That's awesome and i wish they had one of them in the UK

[petarvladikov]

The kids sure were excited. I hope they start to make pre-releases of Pokemon in my city too. They only make Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments,because almost no one plays Pokemon,which is pretty bad.

[pokecollection]

Yeah that sucks. It's the first for NZ, so was really lucky!

[randomdude768]

the lady at the counter talks funny

[pokecollection]

Lol, it's the accent - she was really nice though. Being new and all, she was very welcoming. Felt a real sense of community, it wasn't merely a 'shop'. Was great.

[iljia1]

awesome, something different for a change, im not sure if they had those in aust, would love to go

[pokemurfy]

dude where!? lol

[ice8111]

nice cards!!! charizard g lvl x and staraptor BF lvl X lucky them lol

[pokecollection]

Thanks - yeah, you know I love that staraptor and absol. I'm not really bothered about the charizard!

[YuGiOhVsPokemon3000]

cool vid

do more like these ones

[pokemurfy]

that looked like an awesome event, shame they don't do them here over in the UK. If anybody knows about one in the UK, let me know! :)

[PkmnTCG07]

they do do them in the UK xD i go to them all the time

[pokecollection]

Not in the UK? Really??? Dad stopped by toys r us the other day and showed me this vast array of pokemon memorabilia and cards and all. If they don't do it there while here in NZ we have barely anything in comparison, that'd be daft! Check it out on the official website. You never know. Though SV has already been released so you'll have to wait for Arceus I expect.

[PokemonTCBMAus]

thats mad man i also went to the pre realise today i manage to pull Garchomp lv X and moltres reprint and i came second in my age group :) 5/5

[pokecollection]

Sweet man, in Aus? That's brill - congrats bro, that's a real good fat. would be great if i got a chance to play. Maybe will sit down and learn it during summer or something, when im off from uni.

[PokemonTCBMAus]

yer Australia and i only learnt how to play a while a go its easy to pick up :) and i cant wait for u to open them packs :)

[pokecollection]

Sweet

[petarvladikov]

The game is pretty fun and easy if you have good cards.

[pokecollection]

That's good to know!

[Ipokem0nI]

its soo cool, everyone else is too excited.. your sister is soo calm :D

[pokecollection]

Lol!!! That just goes to show the comparison, right? She was so excited, everyone else was even more so. I presume it's because she couldn't play (neither could I) so that's understandable.

She had a real good day though, but we've learnt to compose ourselves... haha.

[oOoHawXoOo]

Lol the little kids sure went crazy :P

[pokecollection]

Haha, I know! Awesome though. As soon as the lady said they could begin opening the packs!

[RVDANDJEFFHARDYFAN]

haha it looks like if u were recording just like pokemama

[pokecollection]

Oh really? Who's that? Can't say I've seen...

[RVDANDJEFFHARDYFAN]

its a woman that own's a pre realease at Rockford IL,and she always makes a vid about it u should check her out.

[pokecollection]

I just did - I see what you mean, haha. That's so awesome!

[DaBigThree3]

Ahh.. it's funny watching them open the packs around 3:40 and on. It's good to see younger kids loving Pokemon that much as the old days like my brother did. He is now 18 so he was around most of there ages as well. You don't see nearly as much commercials or anything promoting Pokemon like they used to. (Forgot the word I was thinking of) But anyways, that's awesome. I would love to go to one of those but have no idea where. Awesome video man. Thanks for uploading that

5/5

[pokecollection]

Haha yeah, it's a great sight eh. I was literally speechless for a while. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, and being 20 and all I didn't really know how it'd be, so I'm glad I had my sister with me.

However, it turned out better than I thought, people of all ages, and so many kids still enjoying the series as much as I (and all of us) did! It's great!

[HAN2929]

i tough it come out already

[pokecollection]

Yeah it has, NZ is just behind. Things that release in the US always tend to come out later here.

[PokeShow13]

Dude thats like 22 - 21 packs alltogether o.o

Happly good pulls :D

[pokecollection]

lol, yeah.

[RandomArbiter]

geez pokemon fandom

[pokecollection]

Haha, tell me about it.

[saltyshoelace]

6:18 LMFAO

[PokeShow13]

i KNOW HAHA

[pokecollection]

LOL. I didn't notice that kid fell until you guys pointed it out. Oh the joys of getting odd things on camera eh?

[PokeShow13]

Nice

[pokecollection]

Thanks.

[slayerofmca]

i see you got the same trainer challenge set kit as me! those are great for their price aye? =)

[pokecollection]

Yeah, a second one. I originally bought one from BayDragon over a month ago or so. I just saw them there and thought I'd grab another one for my sister.

[GsKillz818]

Awesome man, glad you had fun. It's funny when you go to these things some kids can't control their emotions. The last pre-release I went to they were straight out screaming of excitement.

Your sister looked excited, that's awesome!

[pokecollection]

Haha, yeah. You know, though, it's like living through them in a way. Just like we were when we were that age, couldn't control the excitement. Or so I'm assuming that's what most of us were like. Even though I was containing myself, it was well and truly quite exciting!

Good to see that in younger kids who haven't necessarily begun with the original series.

[saltyshoelace]

Supreme victors isn't even out yet there?

[pokecollection]

Nope, NZ is always behind with releases unfortunately. Came out 2-3 weeks after the US release. Should be appearing everywhere in NZ after today though.

[Lotadlvlx]

Very fun..can't wait for the arceus pre release:p

[pokecollection]

I'm looking forward to that too :D

[HaosHynoid911]

Get any lvl Xs?

[pokecollection]

Haven't open the SV packs yet - will open in front of camera and you'll find out from all 14 packs :)

[HaosHynoid911]

Oh at my pre-releases you have to play before you can keep them.

That's why i asked.

[pokecollection]

Oh ok! Well considering you pay for entry, that's bizarre seeing as they're yours after you pay!

But these guys understood I was a collector anyway and don't play the game so knew we were just going to be observing.

[PokeMyShlong]

If I had a little bro or sister i'd go. I dont think I could stand all those kids. lmao

[pokecollection]

Haha, I'm so used to kids that i'm not so bad with it :D But yeah, man, it was a bloody riot in there. Bloody hell!

[GsKillz818]

Yeah, some of the kids get a little crazy.

[AlotaMaple]

xD super lucky

[pokecollection]

Hehe.

[PKoAwesome]

Seemed like fun.Wish I was there :D

[pokecollection]

It was! You should check out if there's one near you for the next one :)
