Good job! Though, you could get the set of 150 for less money (I'm actually tempted to buy it). Though I'll take a spare nine-tails if you get two. Mine has a scratch on it.

Thank you! I'm actually praying for a holographic Ninetales.

and @UnitSmiley

Thanks :) I hope I get some good cards.. and yes for the record, I did it for the nostalgia and for the personal achievement of having them :)


Achievement?

 

An achievement requires blood, sweat, tears. Not $440, well it might need that as well. I can't see how you will get anything from this, it won't be "your" collection, you just bought the lot in one go for a high price. You have done nothing except pay money, they represent nothing to you, you didn't even go to buy them physically...

 

Strange world.

And does it not take blood, sweet and tears to earn money in alot of cases??.  So if he set a task for himself of collecting this box set, if it took work to collect the $440, once he worked for that $440 and earned it to pay for the box set, would that not be classed as an achievement??, since he achieved the task he set?

Also it is "His" collection now as he owns it, so how could it not be his?. It doesnt matter how it was got or who owned it, how would this be any different then him buying the box set in a shop??. if an art collector buys a collection of art and gets it delivered to him, is it then not "His" collection??.

Also, who are you to tell someone what something can't represent to them?. Them cards hold alot of value to him, so to him they could represent any number of things.

Instead of being happy that someone got something they wanted, you come in and try to ruin it for him "Why not donate to charity", "you done nothing to get them" "There not even your collection" .

Is that how you are in real life??, when your talking to your friends?.

Friend: Hey i got tickets to go see that football match that my fav team is playing in, they costed me $200 for me and the wife :D.

You:  Really?, i'd say their gonna lose anyways, you just wasted your money man, you could of donated that to charity or something how stupid can you be?, the team doesnt even represent nothing to you...

Friend: ...Yeah.. OK man... i'll c-ya around...

 


Took the words right out of my mouth, much thanks brother. :)

As soon as I get them I will let you guys know!
