The prices aren’t going down thread remained the forum’s epicenter, drawing dozens of posts on market cycles, patience strategies, and whether the 30th anniversary will serve as a price catalyst or a cool-off point.
Highlighted content
- @koala opened the ME05 Pitch Black thread — the English counterpart to M5 Abyss Eye, releasing July 17, 2026 with 115+ cards and Mega Darkrai as set mascot. @slowqueen’s reaction to a confirmed cosmos holo Slowpoke was, let’s say, emphatic.
