Happy Father's Day to all the dads and dad-figures out there! And if you're back in the UK and wondering what the heck is going on, it's different here in NZ 😆

Wow! I wasn't expecting to see something like this, and on blu-ray as well. I remember the days of working with Beyond Home Entertainment who had the original license to designing and distributing official Pokémon releases across the Oceania region. They did such a good job and working with the team was so awesome, but unfortunately no idea what happened to distribution since Shock took over and, honestly, the home video market has suffered with the rise of digital and streaming.

Still, so cool to see! I'd love to get hold of this. Price point being in the $600-700 NZD mark though is quite a bit!

Love the compact design though, and the new discs!

Singapore 2027! The closest New Zealand and Australia will probably get to Worlds. How cool!

The location for the 2027 Pokémon World Championships has been confirmed. It will take place in Singapore in August 2027

What are your thoughts? Will you attend?

Suppose you could say that KiddoCollection painted his own interpretation of a Shiny Jigglypuff and Dragonite! 😆

I absolutely love this and had no idea, as sadly I've not come across the card. Temporal Forces was one of the sets I didn't open a great deal of, but this is the kind of art I just absolutely love.

And the fact that 'A Ca****la' is a move - goes without saying!

There’s a musical Easter egg hidden in this Pokémon card… 🎵

Those washing lines aren’t just part of the scenery. The Chatot are positioned like musical notes, and the section highlighted in red recreates the iconic Pokémon Center healing jingle.

Elsewhere in the artwork, the notes also reference Chatot’s cry.

Such an incredible hidden detail!

Thank you, friends! Appreciate you having me for another year. Just another 90+ years to go! 😂 Was awesome being back on stage - had such a blast. The event goes by sooo quickly! Miss it already. Thanks to everyone that came over and said hey!

Always appreciate when people leave comments on my YouTube videos. Whilst there's not been any new content in a while (working on it!), it's great to see comments pop up on a plethora of videos I've published over the past 17 years.

I am noticing similar sentiment lately, where people have highlighted an appreciation for my content focusing hardly on value and more on artwork and the sheer joy of collecting. I don't ever see that changing, and I've always remained true to form for near to two decades, but I have noticed an uptick in this kind of conversation.

No doubt it's due to how things have shifted significantly towards investment in the hobby, and that's just the new norm now, but I'm stoked to be able to have lived in a time where it was quite different - and my videos, and that of others around at the time or who remember, are a bit of a time capsule reminding us of those simpler times for sure.
..even though I can't bare to watch my old videos at the best of times haha!
