Hey y’all, since I have a new camera and some spare time, I decided to update my retro deck pictures to have the same general display outline and figured I’d make a megathread for those who were curious in seeing what I have built! Decklist pictures and format threads below ⬇️

@WilliamMewVMAX @Moonpie8434 Miss you too 💙 I still have the torn up Roaring Moon in my car from one of the last events I ran that you played in

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

@TheMintMermaid From what I've heard about what happened at EUIC and the RS-PK tournament, I don't think either of us would be hosting anything grassroots at the venues anytime soon 😭

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

@Moonpie8434 You know I had already been taking a step back for other projects before we got together, but I understand the sentiment

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

Although I don't miss the time I've spent on here, I do miss some of the people on it. I think that within the next few months there's an extremely high chance I deleted this account entirely. If you want to keep in contact with me, you can DM me for my Facebook or Discord user!

It's about time for my quarterly Twitter update!!

Not only have I been travelling the world for @Altered_TCG Events, but I now have the best companion I could've ever asked for! 💙✨🥰

Up next - I leave for France next week to judge the inaugural Altered World Championships!!✨

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

I've been enjoying Altered obviously, but I also plan on getting involved with the Riftbound TCG in some capacity. I've enjoyed playing the game since demoing it at Gen Con and they announced a judge program for it this week too, so maybe I take some of my talents there as well!

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

I may do a post like this every few months, but I've enjoyed not being involved in the Drama Of The Day, and reduced screentime.

For my Pokémon friends - I plan on joining in again next season, so I will see you soon!! The year off has been great, but I'm ready to be back! 💪💙

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

I've had a few people reach out to me since I'm not active on here anymore so I figured I'd give a little update:

I've been chugging along with life and enjoying a spring filled with Retro TCGs, Baseball, and friends 💙

I'll also be at PAX East in Boston in two weeks time! ✨

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

It's been a little over a month since I started my Twitter break, and it's been a breath of fresh air. I cut my screen time down by 40% and have been more focused overall.

I don't plan on being active on here anymore, so if you need me please reach out on my other socials! ✨😄

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

Taking an extended break from Twitter. Not a fan of community interactions I’ve had recently, partly my own fault partly not. Just need time away to chill some, that’s all.

If you need me, find me on Messenger or send me a Discord DM @starshinesimon

See y’all in the future ✌🏻✨

@WilliamMewVMAX Dropped this, buddy 👑

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

Daily packs were kind to me today ✨

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

@ZachBS_ ?

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

Nah this is completely fine

Safari Zone charges Market Price, not MSRP. That’s what they do with regular sets too and why they’re not $161.64

Everyone that complains about this wants the best of both worlds. Either pay MSRP always or Market Price always. You can’t have both.

[Samantha 🏳️‍🌈 @__samalander__]

Charging over double MSRP for a set that isn’t even out yet is scummy @SafariZoneHQ

The greed seriously needs to stop with these shops.

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

@PresidentPiplup Never bought from Safari Zone before but I know this is their model. They charge Market Price on everything, even when Market is lower than MSRP.

If MSRP is so important why don’t people get upset when they charge less than the MSRP of a booster box, not just more? 🤔

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

@_samanthalutz_ If there are copies sold already (which there are) then there is a market price. That’s quite literally how the market works. And the sales are all in this price range.

I know how distribution work. I managed an LGS for 3 years. If you don’t like the price, go somewhere else 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Simon - #1 Jirachi Enthusiast ✨ @StarshineSimon]

Like, all the MSRP warriors come out when a store wants to sell a product in high demand for more than MSRP but not when they’re charging lower than MSRP because of high supply and low demand. It’s insanely hypocritical to want one but not the other.

Pick one and stick to it.
