This was a just a clearance Sale disguised as the "PROMOS"!. From a delivery standpoint it's much easier to ship inventory out of warehouses than shipping it to stores which then need to be stock up aisles. They save so much overhead by just doing online sales.
When I saw your last video about these promo cards I went to the Pokémon center online and got myself 10 packs. Of course I had to get stuff that I don’t need but happy that i got the promos 😊
I really liked the waiting room idea. Yes, the site was busy and getting my payment to go through took awhile, but I'm just super greatful I got the promos :)
Wow I’m glad I got my four cards! They went fast! I’m thinking the upto 3 weeks is for those that ordered in the window of cards left and taken down. They have to honor those orders before they took it down.
I think 75% of the hype is leftover from Eevee Heroes. Half the people have FOMO and half are scalpers. Makes me really sad to see. The art is fine but you know that’s not why the majority of people are buying it…
personally the Pika promo was different. it was made one per order, it was just the Pika and no other variation of Pikachu. while for eeveelution; there's 9 different cards, max 10 per order and throw in the eeveelution hype cuz of eevee heros and popularity of them aswell
Price ratio was the same. 1 per 1,000 yen order, so you just had to do more orders of you wanted more promos. Only difference this time was they let you do up to 10 for 10,000 yen order. Probably because there were 9 different cards to obtain. That being said, 1 card vs 10 cards will definitely impact the quantity of available cards for each of the 9 eevee promos vs the Pika. Happy Collecting!!
I totally missed the release but just paid $105 last night for them on Amazon JP to ship to my tenso account. And now the cheapest I see them for today is $145 o.o
I'm glad I decided to buy the Jolteon when I did. It was the only one I really wanted, so I just bought it on eBay yesterday. It was a bit more than if I got it from the promotion, but I also wasn't willing to take the chance on it. I'd imagine the prices of them are gonna start climbing up now that the promotion has ended.
As of now (8am CDT) the promos are no longer available. Just put items into the basket and no promos showed up. Cards are cheap, however, which is how it should be anyway.
Our LCS shop bought over 1000 packs from some Japanese shops and had it overnight shipped to MN. This morning they sold out all packs for $50 a pack! Absolutely ridiculous!
@@coach7511 that honestly makes me sick. I hate seeing what's happened to this space, takes a lot of the fun out of collecting when you know you- and everyone else- is getting screwed.
@@ladideathstrike I checked this morning on my way to work and they were all sold out. I cant believe the community actually bought it at those prices :/
I got 10 at release and noticed I could get 10 more the day after so I sifted through what was left for inventory to hit the 10,000¥ mark again. So many stickers on the 2nd cart but so worth it😅
Just dropped $150 to get the 9 promos “sigh” Update* everyone I ordered from, (3 separate sellers), said they had to cancel my order, but a miracle happened and now they have the same cards listed for over $200. Amazing! I hate ordering from Japan now.
Ngl one of the few times I gotta dislike a video. The news spread so absurdly fast because of videos and tweets like these that a merchant on eBay cancelled my order for 20 promo packs for $150 and no more than an hour later resold it for $390.

You had to buy Japanese stuff ? Over prices
@@JusZard yes but at that point everything was almost sold out so I had to buy things like plates or mugs lol .
@@victornozomi2872 so you used a proxy address? How else can you get it shipped from Japan Pokemon center
@@reportedstolen3603 only way to get them internationally, was through a proxy service

agreed, I didn't get everything that I wanted cuz of the checkout error but the online shopping experience as a whole ran pretty smoothly
Had some this morning cuz I managed to snag 3, would have got more but was hard to find the stuff I wanted on the site as a lot was sold out.
Wow I’m glad I got my four cards!
They went fast!

Got 3 of these before they were gone. It's crazy. The site I was using had 150 in stock and they were all gone in a few hours.
Anybody else get a shipped confirmation email from Pokémon about their order and not see the promo cards on the item list???
Wow, that was fast. Yu Nagaba Pika lasted much longer.

Literally bought my stuff about 5 hours ago. Glad I did.
Have you received info that delivery might be delayed too?
Picked up 4 unbreons
Maybe some day i can trade one for the full set
just tried it, the items not available anymore.
Glad i got my promo packs
Are you going to make a video about obsidian flames ?
Damn my payday is tomorrow and I was hoping they'd last till at least then to place an order 😪
Glad I got my initial order in and got 10, then made an additional order and got another 6.
Would you recommend buying them on the secondary market at this point? I can't decide but I definitely want them...

Wow was gonna get mine today man
Lucky
I’m so glad I preordered the umbreon card
Our LCS shop bought over 1000 packs from some Japanese shops and had it overnight shipped to MN. This morning they sold out all packs for $50 a pack! Absolutely ridiculous!
wow. people just getting taken advantage of. I was able to snag 6 copies + everything I actually ordered from the pokecenter for $70 total.
@ladideathstrike Yeah it's nuts! Umbreons are for sale in the shop for $80 a piece or $300 for a complete set of 9.

Dammit… it’s been so hard to find the box set…
insane!! yu nagaba hype is real
I got 10 at release and noticed I could get 10 more the day after so I sifted through what was left for inventory to hit the 10,000¥ mark again. So many stickers on the 2nd cart but so worth it😅
Couldn’t find these
How do i buy from Pokemon center in Japan when im from the USA? Is it possible?
Yes!!!! Move to Japan!!! No really use a proxy address
checked my local online retail store and it is being sold at about $26USD each now :(
That was quick, when the packs came out they were $12 a pack. However when everyone gets their online order it will drive the price down again
Just got my set back from PSA. I got a sequential set of gem mint 10s.
All the cards seem to be mint so 10swont be worth much nice to have the set tho
YOU'RE KIDDING ME!?
I really wanted one :(
When yu nagaba charizard tho? I see he on the box
The Pokemon Center is screaming
just saw a video of japan when selling this gezzz its mental
Which evee more popular
can the packs be filtered?
Yes.
DAMN!
Just dropped $150 to get the 9 promos “sigh”
Update* everyone I ordered from, (3 separate sellers), said they had to cancel my order, but a miracle happened and now they have the same cards listed for over $200. Amazing! I hate ordering from Japan now.
And now 250
There is a lot of scammy behavior going on with the Japanese card market and resellers.
none left on pokemon center
Watch the whole video🤦🏻♂️

Well... that's a disappointment
These look so stupid for a card
You're one of the biggest pokémon nerd. I fucking love it ❤
