*where have you had the best experience finding Pokemon cards from these shops?* Join whatnot here and get £10 to spend so worth a try whatnot.com/invite/mattculli

[@DEZZIE08]

Northampton smyths toys store can be pretty good bro or maybe even your local smyths 😎👍🏼

[@ashleerogers5019]

TOY Barnus have good card sadly the uk does not have a lot of cards section like the American stores...wish we did but good we got some toy stores

[@jessyoltay]

Usually in Argos if you are fussed on which tin/ball you receive you can request to see which ones they have in stock & then will bring out the different designs that they have and you can choose between them which is always nice!

[@ssemergencyworld7362]

Every UK shop I’ve been to has Pokémon cards behind a service desk or whatever because they’re so susceptible to theft

[@Mattculli]

Yeah some do but not the ones around here

[@ssemergencyworld7362]

@@Mattculli must be the dodgey south east then

[@Mattculli]

@ haha

[@adamcogan211]

We have very little options to get cards from stores in Ireland now so Smyths is usually my go to if it’s not THE MATTCULI WHATNOT SHOP. Tesco over here charges 12 euro for a single pack/one pack blister. Mini tins were like 19 euro (just two packs) 💀

[@Mattculli]

Firstly thank you for the shop shout out ❤️ yeah those prices in Ireland sound pretty brutal!

[@ParaicD]

Supermarkets are terrible here for prices! Better off going to a toystore- Ken Blacks and Smyths aren't too bad!

[@pepsimac]

The UK is shit when it comes to trying to find products. Argos, Sainsburys, ASDA, Smyths and B&M are the only major retailers thats seem to sell anything now and even then is really limited. Other than that its local cards stores (if you have any). I just try and buy online now but where the fun in that. Ive only recently got into Pokemon cards after being in the Soccer hobby for a long time, i wanted to try Pokemon for something new to enjoy but trying to find stuff isnt the best

[@ethanchiggy]

Tesco recently sold themselves out basically and have entertainer as three main source of toys and in all tescos I have been in it’s just younger children’s toys. Tesco basically just slaughtered the Pokémon cards and Lego shelves

[@CookieCutter]

The correct answer is, mattculli whatnot shop

[@Mattculli]

Haha yes bud!

[@-waffles-]

omg hey cookiecutter! i didnt expect you to be here, i didnt know you were a pokemon fan!! you should make a youtube short abt any pokemon cards you have,and im guessing your from the uk? cool!!!!

[@ashleerogers5019]

yeah what not is good like the japanese cards

[@AmmoniteGameNite]

Sainsbury's always comes thru. Wish it was more like America, they always look stacked

[@Mattculli]

Mate so true our super markets suck for stock compared to the big guys in USA

[@AmmoniteGameNite]

@@Mattculli I need to plan a trip just so I can scope out walmart tbf

[@DEZZIE08]

3:50 you missed them Paldean fates mini tins on the left bro 👍🏼 great vid mann 💪🏼😎👊🏼

[@DEZZIE08]

Also bro .. them mini tins with sv base n SWSH silver tempest in them I’m sure they broken batch as I was pulling some silly cards from silver tempest packs In them tins 🔥

[@Mattculli]

Mate what!!!! How did I miss tins!

[@Aurality_Music]

Was literally shouting at the video "what about those tins!?"

[@SuperMenace11]

Tesco / Holmbush shoreham . Sainsbury’s/Hove . Asda /Hollingbury 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Mattculli]

Haha nailed it!!!

[@SonOfSassy]

Sometimes supermarkets keep Pokémon cards near the tills. Theft is massive in the UK people just rip boxes down isles take packs n leave. The Asda near me keeps the Pokémon cards in lock boxes then there are more near the counter that sells lottery tickets and cigarettes 😂

[@Mattculli]

Yeah this is true! Seen tons of empty packs and boxes over the years

[@SonOfSassy]

@@Mattculli Disgusting behaviour tbh. I thought it was kids but two months ago I seen a man and women. Presumably a couple. RIP boxes and take packs while their children looked at the toys. I’m not normally a snitch but I had to tell staff. Fully grown adults stealing cards. Disgusting behaviour if you ask me Matt. Btw loved the video man stay blessed 🫡✌🏼

[@ChrisSmith-rd6dm]

Same around my area hertfordshire all pokenmon are on lockdown behind the cigarettes and loto counter normally a couple packs on show and if you ask they will pull whatever they have in the draws out to look at

[@DyranHunter]

Keep in mind that Sainsbury's bought the Asda group from Walmart in 2018. Walmart only hass a 42% ownership of Asda now, so they might be losing Pokemon items eventually too!

[@falowdeer]

This is incorrect. A merger between ASDA and Sainburys was blocked in 2019 and Walmart subsequently sold their majority, TDR Capital is the current owner

[@DyranHunter]

@@falowdeer I stand corrected! I hadn't heard any of that, thanks for the update ^_^

[@RahanUllah]

All of those are local to me, Tesco is definitely a let down. They normally do have some good sets while back

[@Mattculli]

Yeah and some good deals now and them

[@TTF_cards]

My experience with these, Tesco not a chance to find any pokemon at all, not like 2 years or so ago. Asda hit or miss, and then Sainsburys you're always going to find something because of argos.

[@Mattculli]

Yep solid answer here I would agree

[@michaeloboyle9142]

Awesome opening . last pack magic , let's go !!!

[@Mattculli]

Let’s goooooo so happy but going to give it away!

[@Mattculli]

Gutted did not seeing everyone’s Maccies order in the comments 🤪

[@LacitsyM]

Don’t eat that shite pal. 😉

[@180_jay]

The Sainsbury's to me looks like the one just outside Brighton on old Shoreham road? If so, very local to me!

[@DittoFinds]

Omg!! 😮 The ending was so unexpected 🎉

[@Mattculli]

Yeah smashed it right!

[@salihariyas9008]

Usually Pokémon cards are in the costumer service in asds

[@Mattculli]

Yeah they don’t at this one but had heard this

[@ChrisSmith-rd6dm]

My local asda has pokemon behind the cigarette counter they only have maybe 1 etb a couple boxes and solo cards one day I asked if they had anymore and the pulled a few extra bits from a couple draws so asda alway worth a look and also ask if they have any stock behind the counters

[@tidgebro6044]

I work in Sainsbury’s and we sometimes have barley any Pokémon items and recently we have restocked quite a bit

[@Mattculli]

Yeah I think this one has very little due to the Argos

[@tidgebro6044]

@@Mattculli I agree, there’s an Argos in my Sainsbury’s as well so I think it’s just different times of the year they put more out in the toy section otherwise they’re mostly in Argos

[@Stormlight8700]

Great video, Matt, with a lovely ending.

[@Mattculli]

It was a good ending indeed!

[@ashhunt32]

Just found your channel but you have a sub, i found a steal in HnB last week. Had blister packs of Astral Radiance and Fusion strike for £5 i bought the lot. Pulled a Machamp V on my last pack so was well worth

[@Mattculli]

Really that’s sick! Ok I will get out for some More store comparisons very soon!

[@vince5394]

That's my local Tesco, you must be local to us! They put up those awful entertainer boards a few weeks ago, so no more Pokémon deals anymore!

[@williama-d6]

my order would be a big Mc meal I don't usually buy anything else

[@SonOfSassy]

Asda always stock Lorcana and Yugioh

[@HomicidalPandaHD]

I really miss (proper) toysrus. They'd have 2 year old stuff anging around at the back of shelves all the time.

[@lankybogie2109]

Pretty decent hits indeed man! GG 🎉

[@thebigmack5035]

colder temperature can make the holo cards curve it normal

[@keyranns8121]

Tesco has a deal with the entertainer now and they dont stock pokemon cards so tesco don't stock pokemon cards now

[@Mattculli]

Yeah was thinking this shame really as less choice for people now

[@Siigrit]

I would love to buy pokemon cards again but they are so dam expensive and most of the time you won’t hit anything good. I just buy the cards i want in japanese so they are much cheaper. The only time i get blessed with packs are when family gifts them on bdays/xmas etc

[@tomhenson8965]

The juniper boxes from argos have 2 evolving skies in them iirc

[@Mattculli]

Damn should have e grabbed them!

[@ROBSONCRUZO13]

i used look in wh smith alot or waterstones for Pokémon stuff as many people didnt use them alot

[@Mattculli]

Yeah that’s the next vlog 👌

[@DittoFinds]

Amazing video ❤

[@ashleerogers5019]

you can never find pokemon cards in suppermarkets in the uk ...toy barnhaus and smyths toy store are good but not close to me so yeah

[@Mattculli]

Yeah next video will be Smyths vs toy barmaus I think

[@ashleerogers5019]

Toy barnhaus sorry spelling was wrong but they sometimes have good selcetion of pokemon cards and smyths toys i know they do

[@TheMiltonroad]

Think the supermarkets are south coast Brighton way

[@Mattculli]

Yes bud that’s it!

[@aaronyep6874]

Can you do a video on your trusted websites/online stores you use for packs like 151 and pokemon GO that are trusted and 100 percent not re sealed scams? As this catches a lot of people out sadly! 😢

[@Nigel-j2l]

My local spars sell booster packs

[@roguesim]

Missing a trick, try Waterstones or Foyles

[@Mattculli]

Will do it next

[@Scottphoto26]

Haha very true!
