👻✨ A new collectible line is arriving at Gems & Games… ✨👻

Our first release has officially escaped the printer:

**MIMIKYU!** 💛🖤

We’re beginning a brand-new collection of fan-inspired **3D printed Pokéball creature collectibles**, and Mimikyu is the very first to join the lineup. Each piece is carefully printed in multiple colors and hand-assembled detail by detail right here at Gems & Games.

And honestly?

We were blown away by how adorable this little ghost goblin turned out. 😭

This is just the beginning — more Pokémon-inspired designs are already printing (and yes… Vulpix is currently on the printer 👀🔥).

Which Pokémon would YOU want to see join the collection next?

💬 Tell us your favorites below!

🛍️ Available soon at Gems & Games
🎨 Printed under commercial license from original designs by N3D

🎉 Pokémon Chaos Rising releases this Friday, 5/22/26! 🎉

We DO have booster packs, plus very limited quantities of other sealed product available at release.

Because quantities are extremely limited, and we want to help get cards into the hands of collectors, players, and our local community, we will be limiting purchases to:

✨ 2 booster packs per purchase
OR
✨ 1 sealed product per purchase (ETB, Booster Bundle, Blister, etc.)

As always, quantities are first come, first served while supplies last. No holds or reserves.

Thank you for helping us keep Pokémon fun and accessible for the community 💙

🎥 Pokémon Update + Behind the Scenes at Gems & Games

We’ve been filming Pokémon pack breaks for a while now… we’re just a little behind on editing and getting them posted 😅

A lot of these come from those rare moments when the Pokémon Center vending machine actually has stock — and when it does, it honestly feels like hitting the lottery. When we’re able to grab packs, we bring them back to the shop and film the breaks so you can see what we pulled right along with us.

As we get caught up, we’ll start sharing those openings over on our YouTube:

👉 www.youtube.com/

Most of the cards — hits and bulk — will eventually make their way into the shop.

But some of that bulk has been getting a second life 👀

Tabby has been creating Pok’Collages using the cards, and they’ve turned into some really unique pieces. She’s been putting a lot of time into them and even sharing her process over on her own channel.

Hey folks!! Next time you pop in to Gems & Games things are going to be looking a bit different.

We are doing some rearranging to improve layout and make room for plans we have been talking about having for a long time. We are finally making it happen!!

Stay tuned for all the updates including fresh shop pics and other announcements!! Very exciting stuff coming soon!!!

We are at the Westvancardshow. For fun, we just broke a pack of Whispers in the Well (Lorcana). We got three hits in the one pack!! Each card has a market value of $5, so this is a $15 retail value total from one pack we sell for $5. We got lucky, maybe you will too!

We have more Whispers in the Well packs as well as Winterspring. If you're a Lorcana collector or looking to get started, come see us either today at the Lynnwood Event Center or in shop in Lynden.

Hope to see you soon!!

Saw this auction on Netflix and thought it was funny then. This is officially hilarious. Also, thank you IGN Finds for bringing the sarcasm and snark to my Friday. 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣

Cheetozard, the Cheeto that's kind of shaped like Charizard, just set a Guinness world record for, and I swear this is true, "highest price paid for a videogame likeness corn snack." The auction sale happened last March, to an anonymous bidder, and I guess it took a year to research all the other videogame likeness corn snack auction prices before they could certify it.
