Hello everyone! I realize that I haven’t posted any pack openings here in… well, a very long time. It’s time to change that! It seems as though all of the special boxes featuring 3D jumbo cards of the 5th generation starters have been released early. I was able to find the Terrific Tepig Box, but strangely enough, it appears that they are releasing only one of the 3 different boxes at 3 different stores. From what I understand, Terrific Tepig is at Target, Outstanding Oshawott is at WalMart, and Super Snivy is at Toys ‘R Us. I plan to find them all, but for now, here is my (not so) Terrific Tepig Box Opening!
Hello everybody! Here are some videos of the new Black & White Zekrom and Reshiram tins.
I probably will never stop saying this, but I absolutely love this set. At first, after having a set like Call of Legends with 22 holo rares, 11 shiny legends, and 8 reverse holo energies, I thought it would be so nice to have a set with 12 holo rares, 2 ultra rares, and 1 secret rare. Perhaps this would be a nice, easy set to collect. Despite my trouble pulling the ultra rares (which you’ll hear about in the videos), I almost feel like it is more difficult to collect all of the holos. Now that I have started this set, I’m glad that it’s not as easy as I anticipated, because the best thing about collecting is the challenge. So bring it on!
I wasn’t overly thrilled with the tins, but they did make me excited for the Black and White set to come out. After a while, the cards in the preview pack have grown on me. I need to learn to not be so critical right off the bat. At first I didn’t like the fifth generation Pokemon, and now I do. So I suppose that’s how it is with the new card design, too.

Here is the second of the three Black and White preview tin openings that I did. This one is the Snivy Tin and, although I didn’t pull the greatest of cards, it’s my favorite, mostly because of the Snivy figure. In my opinion, these tins are a great deal whether you’re a player or a collector!

Hello everyone! Pikkdogs has asked me to be a part of the Team Omar community! And I’m very excited to do so. I figure the best thing to do is to start by introducing myself!
This is where my YouTube channel, RenaeCollects, comes into play. I mostly upload videos of pack openings, a few raffles, and some trades. And that’s mostly what I’ll be contributing to this site. I hope that my perspective as a collector is insightful, and maybe just fun, for players out there. Just like I enjoy hearing about the TCG (even though the meta game is mostly all over my head), because it helps keep collecting in perspective. And it sometimes has unfavorable and favorable effects on the value of cards. What collector wants to trade their Primes and Legend pieces for the same value as some trainers?! But at the same time, every collector wants to trade their extra trainers for a Prime or Legend piece! Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but you can see what I mean about the TCG affecting collecting. So maybe together we’ll find more ways how collectors and players can affect each other, as well as work together!
Whew! so after all that, I just want to say “Hi”. And thanks for welcoming me into this community. Here’s a video from my channel just to introduce you to the kind of content I make. I hope to talk to you all soon and to start a new relationship between collectors and players!
