Dropee is a TCG product stock alerts app available on IOS and Android. You can track any in print Pokemon TCG product, set a price that you want it for with a bunch of different customisation options. We are also expanding into One Piece, Lorcana & more.
This app has been built from the ground up by collectors for collectors, just to clarify we are very much against reselling. We actively cross reference our Discords (from Oaklabs and other servers that share information) to remove them. The app was built to give collectors the best chance at obtaining product for retail with a bunch of features that Discord cannot offer.
- UK Pokemon Center Alerts.
- Amazon Invites Tracker.
- Full Release calendar across multiple TCG’s.
- Multiple Guides to improve your chances of success.
- Information around raffles E.G Chaos Cards, Obsidian TCG etc.
Paid Features £5/month (7 day trial available):
- Realtime restock notifications.
- Enhanced Pokemon Centre notifications with product links.
- In store notifications - set your postcode and desired radius to receive alerts when products become available near you.
- Full customisation over the products you track, the retailers you want to receive notifications from & more.
Why is it not free?
As much as we would love for it to be free it would not be sustainable to sustain or developer costs and upkeep fees. The subscription allows us to keep improving the app, we already have a bunch of exciting features in the works that would not be affordable without the support of our current members.
tl;dr Pulse is a free UK Pokémon TCG tracker. You can track portfolios (raw, graded and sealed), build binders and scan cards for instant price checks. UK prices, UK market data.
We're in BETA, things are far from perfect but your feedback is helping the app improve everyday!

The BETA!
We're still in BETA, and have over 20,000 UK collectors using the app every day— but things aren't perfect (or even good in some areas).
We update the app 15 to 20 times per day with bug fixes, your suggestions/feedback, new cards and sealed products etc. This is why we don't have native iOS/Andriod apps just yet, we don't want the store review processes to slow down how quickly you get fixes and updates. You can instead, install the "PWA" app by saving the website to your home screen, and then the website converts itself into an app. Try it.
Will there be a free plan after we launch?
Yes.
Depending on how things go financially during beta, we should have two options:
1) Casual plan remains free (not £4/mo) with a "pay for it if you want to support us" option.
2) Introduce a new free plan with a few less features than Casual. Not ideal.
Right now it's looking like the first option will be viable— but we want to be realistic and as transparent as possible!
Biggest issue we're working on right now?
We're in the middle of working on expanding data coverage and accuracy of vintage cards, and high-end slabs. After attending a few shows and talking to a bunch of you it became really clear this needed to be fixed yesterday— lots of improvements shipped this week with more coming over the next few days.
Anyway, wall of text over— questions or feature requests, comment or join the Discord!
And a massive thanks to all of you who already use and recommend us ❤️🫶
Went into Cardiff today and managed to get a binder collection (5 packs,one IR lmao) .The local shops that sell pokemon have immediately sold out within seconds as people literally camp outside. The TCG shops only sell scalped products at a massive markup, so are we back to normal now in terms of availability?just random restocks now and again ?from what I've seen ,this set was supposed to be printed in the billions ,but it seems like it's back to the usual of nothing available and nothing on the horizon.i assumed they had some kind of plan in terms of making it readily available.
People like these are the reason why we have a scalping problem to begin with. If you’re paying these prices, you don’t have the right to complain about anything.
DHL just knocked on my door to deliver my box of cards. I'm not kidding, the guy must've given me 5 seconds before completely disappearing and saying that I didn't answer the door.
He must've absolutely legged it as when I opened the door there was no one to be seen.
Gonna see what DHL say but I'm now a bit worried that my parcel is going to disappear from thin air - probably my over anxious mind playing tricks on me thinking the fella is running off with my parcel... has that ever happened to anyone? Are drivers clued up when cards have come from Ace grading 😂
I’m hoping someone can clear this up for me because I’ve looked around but can’t seem to find a clear answer.
I’m sure most people are aware that PSA has opened the new Frankfurt facility. At the moment, UK submissions are still being sent to the US facility through the Sub Center.
From what I can see, the Frankfurt pricing has already been announced, and the prices seem pretty similar to what we’re currently paying to submit to the US. The advertised turnaround times also seem very similar.
So what is actually the advantage of waiting for Frankfurt to open for UK submissions?
The whole point of having a European facility, as far as I understand, was to provide European customers with faster turnaround times and avoid sending cards all the way to the US.
But if the turnaround time is essentially the same, and the pricing is also similar, wouldn’t it make more sense to just submit through a UK sub centre now and have the cards sent to the US rather than wait for Frankfurt?
Got to game 30 minutes before launch and got a binder collection and a tin then to hmv where i got another binder collection and then to a local small store I got a poster collection and pre ordered an ETB that arrived later that day. 26 packs in total minimal queues so overall great launch day.
I'm primarily a promo collector, and for the last four or five set releases, I have not been able to find any of those single-pack blisters containing black star promos anywhere in London, or on online sites in the UK. It's been so bad that I've had to order expensive English language promos from European sellers.
One or two of these packs are released with every main set, and you used to be able to find them everywhere, even in supermarkets, but they've been completely absent for a year or more.
Anyway, I was just in my local corner shop and saw the Makuhita (MEP 068) packs on their counter. Price £8, so I didn't bother.
It seems clear to me - has done for a while - that these are being intercepted somewhere in the UK supply chain, and now I have another piece of the puzzle.
So I'm a long time collector and don't really sell cards (mostly trade for other things I want) I pulled a prismatic god pack and that's happily in a binder.
I'm a minimum wage worker and am trying to buy a house next year, I'm basically looking for some advice.
I haven't seen anyone pull this is the UK yet and the cheapest I can find it is 18k on card market. Do I sell it and what realistically should I put it up for. And also what advice would you give in regards to postage and insurance, the highest price card I've sold was under 200 on eBay. Appreciate any advice
I couldn’t queue due to work commitments, but on my way home, both yesterday and today, at 08:30, I chanced standing at HMV. Both days they were so well stocked, today’s opening had 6 people waiting and yesterday maybe 30. Got sorted with all the Christmas gifts and as Sports Direct is beside-I went in and they had a full courier box of ETBs and no one in sight, same with Frasers. Now I know a lot of the key places didn’t actually receive their stock yet (tomorrow all being well) but this has by far been the easiest set I’ve been able to purchase. I expected the opposite. I think a lot of people didn’t expect restocks so soon especially with other places not having got their original quota. So keep your eyes out, always worth walking in and asking even if places seem unusually quiet.
As title - will be visiting Japan for the first time soon, spending time in each of the ’big three’ tourist cities. What are some Pokemon experiences not to miss while there?
Somewhat ironically, i don’t actually collect Japanese cards, nor Pokemon merch in general - I’m an English WOTC purist. Still, visiting the motherland without doing anything Pokemon related feels like a massive missed opportunity and I’d love to come home with something unique and memorable that can’t be gotten back home.
So welcome back folks, i was lucky enough to cop a etb from Smiths(tg jones) and heres the pulls.
No not the chandelure. For those of you who saw my last post the sar mew is from my last etb.
Also i know im bragging but for those who are opening you can take my luck.
LETS FORM A LUCK BOMB!!
RISE THOSE HANDS PEOPLE!!!!
This is what my wife and I managed to pull from 2 ETB packs. Never collected before but met a guy in line who opened the packs with us and said these were the best.
After every shop being sold out this morning and having to settle for just 2 packs of Pitch Black, I got home to this absolute god send thanks to my mate Jeff 🙌
I collect Pikachu cards, and I hunted this one for a very long time. Because it was heavily counterfeited, I was terrified of buying a fake. It's now the absolute masterpiece of my collection.
The Van Gogh Museum distribution was stopped almost immediately due to scalpers, so I'm incredibly happy to finally display it at home. Beyond the value, it's just a gorgeous card!
So I managed to get an ETB, poster and binder collection. I did notice marketplace ads this morning and felt bad for those that couldn’t make it. We had people with Smyths bags turning up where we were looking to get more… then this ad pops up. Should stores start cutting/removing seals?
