Pokémon fans and gaming collectors are turning up to be among the first through the doors of the new shop in the shopping centre's 'indy village'. Aqua TCG opened on Friday (July 31), at The Crescent, Upper Green Mall, offering a wide selection of cards, graded collectables, sealed products and trading card accessories. The shop was opened by lifelong friends and Pokémon fans James Leather and Lewis Millen. The duo, both from Swalwell in Gateshead, wanted the shop to be a hub for collectors and casual fans alike. It also stocks professionally graded cards, sealed trading card boxes, SWSH Evolving Skies Booster Boxes and the upcoming Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Boxes, set for release in September.
