I got my pre-orders in from reputable stores. I've been in this hobby maybe 3 yrs now, and the demand for this set is just crazy. I just can't believe the amount of people buying pre-orders of someone else's pre-orders of someone else's pre-orders at absurd prices.
I saw on ebay multiple sales of Pokemon Center ETBs for $750... it cost 59.99 on the Pokemon Center. I will say that this set is probably going to be my first set I keep sealed.
The only reputable store you're going to find is Huge big box stores. Walmart, Target. You trust little shit stores you're going to get fleeced for chump change.
what I've done I pre-order without paying from multiple stores plus Pokemon center. Best case I buy them all ,worst case I got from at least one shop. Happy days:)
Yeah I haven't done any pre orders yet. Got my allocation numbers in, just didn't want to do it before knowing. Like you said, people locally here have already been canceling, it's crazy!
Online only stores are the true greedy ones that think theyre entitled to everything when they have the least amount of overheas costs 😂😂. Wild. Prismatic to the moon 🎉🎉
That comment about people waiting for the MJ reps to stock the shelves and the first person buying it all is so real and so frustrating. If only these stores were aware and would re-institute the item limits they finally put in during Covid. But they won't figure it out until too late and only the scalpers will get any product.
I found someone whining saying they bought 12k worth of products over a period of 6 months, claiming they ordered 100 P.E ETBs and only got allocated 3 😂 It's comical. 12k over 6 mths is considered below average. Bet the 12k was only spent on popular sets as well. Serve him right. Simply comical.
time to scalp :D we'll see this set available for a while just didn't think allocations were this bad for y'all looks like pokemon decided to let cardshops starve and supply big box instead which is honestly the better move
gotta battle scalpers then when pokemon prints more product the big stores horde it all and keep the prices high, pokemon knows that so they distribute to walmart target ect instead then back to battling scalpers. were doomed lol
Pokene no longer taking orders is not the same as GameStop or any other places like that no longer taking orders… 1 might not even be able to fulfill all orders… the other wants to make sure they sit on hundreds of boxes . The pre order game is a scam alone right now lol just people sitting on as much of others people money they want
Officially shelf clearing scalping and investing… retiring my just another collector alter ego. This community celebrates shelf clearing bot users. This will be a chance to make bank n I want in lol good luck y’all

Thankfully walmart canada doesnt do preorders so if you show up on release day youll likely get product. They also limit purchases to 2 per person.

Yeah I ordered from Walmart site @ $55 an ETB ( not bad price) . About a week later my orders got canceled. It’s crazy.
i dont pre order and just show up on release. im checking my walmart the day before and im buying whatever they have
I’ve got 3k worth of pre orders all for msrp… plan to open half and hold the rest for about 3-5years
Reputable stores in Toronto Canada has sold out ETB’s for $150
Man I hope my preorder sticks 😂 I imagine most small stores might wanna keep their allocation for themselves
Wow 1 etb per 1k spent?!? Holy crap.

Guys, be carefull guys.

A lot of poketubers / community members are celebrated for this behavior … welcome to the real world
I'm sticking with Japanese terastal festival it's cheaper better quality looks amazing and best of all easy to obtain can't go wrong there.
this will be the move and why I plan on stocking some to sell on my website!

Pre ordered from big box stores and Pokemon Center the hell with these LGS s trying to screw over their customers
Hobby is starting to become not enjoyable again. That's where I'm at. I'd rather not have any of it than pay double or triple for it.
Don’t Fomo! Run run run! 😂😂😂 Hold on to your wallet! 😂😂
fifa maybe hated but they thought us something good never buy on panic nor on hype
Spent $3k on preorders and already over 100% profit before I even get the product(if I sold).🤑
