Depends ultimately on where you live. TCGplayer tends to be the best, but because I live in Australia I have to pay huge shipping fees and it takes about a month for cards to arrive, I use different sites. If you're based in the US though, TCGplayer is probably the best option out there.

Generally TCGPlayer is the most trusted, do you not trust TCGPlayer? I can't really figure out why you wouldn't want the TCGPlayer support behind you in case of issues

cardmarket for eu and tcgplayer for na is generally recommended

I use tcgplayer all the time in the US. If you're buying several cards it's (usually) worth it to buy them all from the same seller on tcgplayer even if they don't have the lowest price for the cards you're getting. Though it isn't always possible of course

Check out cardtrader. The zero service they offer is quite good actually and I think it’s for both Europe and Nord America

Try using cardmarket

TrollandToad.com works for me. And ebay.com too

Tcgplayer.com for singles

A locals OTS!

If you’re from Europe, card market is the go to

Where do you live? Its TCGplayer for US (and Canada?), cardmarket for Europe.

If EU then Cardmarket. I've made several purchases through them.

Also check you local card shop if they have a website. You can usually order online and ship it for very cheap since it's local, or even just pick it up.

I also look at online tcg stores in Canada and order them there since the shipping will be very cheap (I'm canadian based)

"Cardmarket" for Europe, "TCG Player" for the US.

tcgpplayer is great here in the US, but there's also groups here on reddit and also facebook where people sell too. Tcgplayer offers more buyer protection though

I buy a lot from coolstuffinc.com. Great place to buy singles, as well as sealed product.

They are as a whole, a tad bit more expensive than buying through Facebook. But, you are purchasing from a company that backs their product has tracking and is responsible.

Hey, I actually have a massive sale list, in case you were interested (both new and used, lowest prices available): https://www.reddit.com/r/HeroClix2/s/zhUNBbGDbB

The Facebook trade and sell group would be good. A lot of people horde those Yugi clix though.

Ebay has almost everything you could want or need

I have the vast majority of the yugioh clix. PM me with what you're looking for and want to spend.

and if you're in canada, Facetoface, or order from one of the main US sites that isnt TCGplayer cuz most sellers there wont ship to canada

If you are in Europe use Cardmarket and if you are in the US use TCGplayer.

Support your local card store. Cards stores go out of business all the time due to people buying online. Spend the extra 1-2 dollars and keep the store alive so you can have a place to play.

Tcg players is really reliable for singles. You can also get products like duel devastator for cheaper than most retail stores like target or Walmart. Good luck!

TCGPlayer.com or a local card shop

Ebay or Cardmarket.

If I had a store near me I would surely invest there but as I don't I buy on Cardmarket, cards are so cheap there that it almost seems like a scam but it's a good and save website

TCGPlayer if in US/Canada or Cardmarket in Europe.

Try to find a trade groups for a specific card shop in your area on other social media's like Facebook. Odds are you'll find people trading or selling deck cores for money or cards. Otherwise, depending on where you live. Check out the likes of CardMarket(Europe) and tcgplayer/trollntoad(America) for single cards.

If your in Europe try cardmarket, if your in the uk try to only buy from uk sellers do to brexit you may have to pay import tax.

You might have picked a bad time to get into elemental hero’s though with the new card coming out that uses a destiny dude and elemental hero, hero’s are getting expensive

TCGPlayer is what I’ve used

TCGPlayer.com best website for buying cards. Or EBay if you’re trying to buy a specific deck core

My go to are Smyths, Magic Madhouse, Chaos cards, Zavvi, Zatu/ www.board-game.co.uk, and of course the Pokemon Centre UK.

I have always used chaoscards and totalcards both well known online shops

Welcome to the hobby!

Depending on what you're actually interested in buying, there are different answers.

If you're looking for physical product and to rip cards... it's a little complicated at the moment as the hobby as a whole has seen a significant boom in recent months - the biggest since COVID for sure. That's not to say it's impossible, but depending on where you're based it might be tricky.

As far as stores go, I'd say Argos is your most reliable option for sure. Always has good offers available and restocks consistently, plus you get the added bonus of being able to see exactly what's in stock and order whatever you want for collection. The 2 tins for £15 deal especially is excellent value (if it's available near you). The only "downside" is you don't know the tins till they arrive. Most supermarkets (Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, etc.) can be good, but they're all a bit inconsistent too in terms of what they sell - my local Tesco has had a few weeks run of having no stock, but a day's back it was full of Crown Zenith tins! Other toy stores and card/hobby related stores might also be good places to check!

If you're after specific products, websites like Chaos Cards, Magic Madhouse and Obsidia TCG will probably be your best bet. All super reliable although some have had their issues with each, especially in recent times, but they can all offer great prices if you time it right. If you're after Japanese product specifically then Japan2UK is your safest bet!

If you ever want singles, Ebay is your best friend speaking from personal experience. There are other sites out there like Cardmarket, but I've not used these so I can't comment on it. I'd avoid online stores for single cards though as I find their prices to be significantly more expensive (I assume they set their prices to what they were on release and never change it). Going back to ebay, as long as the seller has good feedback you should be good, just make sure to do your due diligence first! But the site is simple enough to use to get a good look at the card first (assuming the buyer has provided good quality ones) and you can use the filters to find the best deals possible!

Apologies for the super long message but hopefully this helps in some way! Happy to answer any other questions you might have too, hope everything goes well! :)

oh for sure check out the usual suspects like amazon and ebay but don't sleep on facebook marketplace n local trading groups. sometimes peeps just wanna get rid of stuff quick and you can grab a bargain. also keep an eye on hotukdeals they sometimes have good stuff popping up. gotta be fast tho deals go quick on there.
