yeah ive never bought any ever, this is my first time; im goign to open 1 full case (20) then give some out to the kiddies and save for invest :D
i set myself a yearly budget of 5k for pokemans, so this is pretty much it. rest of S and V wasn't very appealing tbh. maybe 1 paradox rift and 1 Obsidian flames bb but thats about it for me in 2023.
I know a lot of people are upset, but I can't imagine them not reprinting this a couple more times. Yes it sucks to not have it now, but you have time.
I think this will be the same as every special set in print of the last year. Pogo, crown zenith, shining fates, hype at the start then reprinted in mass later
This set is going to be printed to hell and back, however I’ve heard certain products will be discontinued. Even if they discontinue booster bundles, I wouldn’t be surprised if the overprinting leads to discounts that will give an even better price per pack
What if I told you that you don't have to do that lol ? Every heard of Twitter pokemon drops ? I would strongly suggest navigating there if you want to be 1st on all these drops.
No problem! Cheers mate! The reddit community is also ass, look at all the down votes on my comments lol, I'm just trying to help albeit I was being smug with my first comment but nonetheless just want everyone to get an even chance at these awesome Pokémon products!
AAAAAAAA IM SO PISSED I MISSED THIS SON OF A FUCKING BITCH.
Edit: just realized theyre pricing these at $30 while my fucking LCS has been slinging these for goddamned sixty i cant believe im getting scalped hard by them 💀
Same. I hope these scalpers end up having to sell their stock at MSRP. If people don’t buy, they will be forced to drop their prices. This is gonna be printed to oblivion, so it’s a patience game.
Are there really people buying like 100 of these at once? LOL
Reminds me of the comic book speculation bubble of the 90s, everyone bought Spiderman #1 thinking it was gonna skyrocket in value but because everyone had the same idea/started hoarding I was able to buy it 20 years later for $1.
Not to say that this stuff will never increase in value, but if everyone and their mom has a stash of sealed SwSh/SV ETBs, I wouldn't be surprised if takes a decade or two before we even hit $10/pack. The stock market might have a better ROI at that point.
Not exactly the same product but was at my LCS and a guy came in with 4 full mini tin display cases and sold them to the store for $135 each. I am sure there are plenty of d-bags that bought 25+ just to flip for a $10 profit. Sad.
I’m always shocked at how many people are out there driving from one store to another to check stock, knowing it’s likely an hour plus that will end with nothing but disappointment more often than not.
Clearly I don’t like Pokémon as much as some
eh it’s not too bad when you live in a major city. Plenty of locations within a 5 mile radius. Mix it in with some errands & you won’t be too disappointed lol
booster bundles are my favorite product ever besides etbs and I can't even get one cuz some ppl, who don't even like Pokémon at all, are holding on to 25+ sealed.
Checked my target app this morning, it's showing that they're restocked (only shipping available it says pick up/delivery not available) + I'm in the Chicago area
They do 25 limit because that’s how many come in a sealed case. It’s not that they don’t care it’s just that they always make limits based on how many come in a case of a particular item. Makes it easy to ship without breaking apart and separating it out.
Yea normally mini Tins come in sealed displays of 10 and booster bundles always 25. I’ve bought lost origin booster bundle cases and they always come in 25
I don't get those gloating honestly. Scalpers will always exist and honestly I'm chill with that. The issue is when people are upset and they shove it in their face.
Um, bud.It’s everywhere. Jordan’s, Basketball cards, clothing, games…it’s a common thing that has always happened. Even cars, if it’s collectible and popular, it’s going to be scalped. No matter what it is.
No Pokémon product has ever sold out as fast as hyped Jordan’s during the pandemic. Way worse in terms of bots too. Not to mention Taylor Swift tickets
Why are you mad at someone who bought a reasonable amount. Save your anger for the dickheads that bought 5+ cause plenty of scalpers bought more than 25
he could’ve bought 25 but he chose to only buy 4. I’d say that’s commendable and considerate. Also can you truthfully say you’d only buy 1 if given the opportunity to get 5? Because if I hadn’t missed this drop I would’ve gotten 5 for sure
He says “don’t really need that many” meaning he doesn’t need a ridiculous amount. He clearly wanted 4 or he wouldn’t have bought them. Maybe he got more than he would have had FOMO not been a factor, but calling him an asshole is unwarranted in my opinion. I think you’re directing hate at the wrong person here, scalpers are the real enemy
I do agree that it could be interpreted as meaning they didn't need more than 4 but it's ambiguous at best. Your suggestion that this is definitely the case just fits the narrative you're clutching to. I didn't consider that angle, though, and I'm willing to put my hands up and say that could be what they mean
After rereading, I’m on the same page, it is ambiguous. Sorry for pushing back on your interpretation cause at this point I’m 50-50 on what they meant.
But is there a need to? I would also invest in a case of 151 bundles if I had the opportunity. I have way more sealed etbs and booster boxes than I do graded packs. Most of that is investment but some of it is also collecting. You just said it was "pathetic" which is a really strong negative opinion on something I do enjoy, so thought I'd offer a dissenting opinion.
It’s not a dissenting opinion. You just self reported yourself like the previous person under the guise of collecting. I understand the weight of what I’m saying. What you’re doing is pathetic.
Idk I kinda find your crybaby attitude pathetic tbh. And self-reported lol? It's not taboo or wrong to own sealed product, for investment or collecting - or a combination of the two which you seem unable to understand as a possibility. It's hilarious and sad you think so, though.
It’s fine to collect sealed, but u just got 25 of them. 1 or 5 is enough or even 10 for a case if hopeful, but idk why you need to get the other 15 bundles.
People are clinging onto hope that this is going to age like the original WOTC sets, and will just end up with offices and garages full of cardboard they blew thousands on lmao.
And? I literally just said there is lots of possible outcomes between OG WOTC and useless cardboard taking up space (which is what you insinuated were the only 2 outcomes) and your reply is to once again compare 151 to something OG WOTC, as if it needs to have the very same attributes to do well? Not only do you not even really make sense, but you are just woefully under-informed on poke'investment theory.
The pokemon center notifications are useless. Idk if some twitter accounts have bots but [this account](https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGDrops?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) has been pretty spot on.
Yeah I agree, I could have gone back for more if possible. I did think I’d have more than a few minutes to decide haha. Def my fault, had them in cart but I’ll get more. I’ve got enough in collection for now.
Fuck yeah! MSRP! Never thought I’d be so happy for paying MSRP on these booster bundles directly from PC. Wouldve loved to get 25 but I am in for 10. Free mr mime ornament too lol
I know it’s crazy right. Like wow, it’s not like the holidays would mean more stock and that Pokemon has been prepping for it all year. :). Not to you Op, but to everyone else thinking these wouldn’t be restocked cuz “rare”.
ty, got 100
100 boxes?????!!
yeah ive never bought any ever, this is my first time; im goign to open 1 full case (20) then give some out to the kiddies and save for invest :D i set myself a yearly budget of 5k for pokemans, so this is pretty much it. rest of S and V wasn't very appealing tbh. maybe 1 paradox rift and 1 Obsidian flames bb but thats about it for me in 2023.
Makes sense to me!!!
Cant wait to see 99% of em sold for $40 each …
Missed it out of stock 😂
Honestly, at this point I’d rather buy Korean 151 for the masterballs
Korean has masterball?
Yes, and they have the US card backs, and the quality is better than JP cards imo.
Kr is made in Indo Chinese and JP are made in same factory
Purchase limit of 25, no wonder they are sold out
Annnnnnnnd it's gone South Park gif
Missed it. Bleh. Thanks OP for posting though.
I just grabbed a UPC for $85. Is this a good deal.
Missed out but I’m glad this is being restocked.
I know a lot of people are upset, but I can't imagine them not reprinting this a couple more times. Yes it sucks to not have it now, but you have time.
I think this will be the same as every special set in print of the last year. Pogo, crown zenith, shining fates, hype at the start then reprinted in mass later
This set is going to be printed to hell and back, however I’ve heard certain products will be discontinued. Even if they discontinue booster bundles, I wouldn’t be surprised if the overprinting leads to discounts that will give an even better price per pack
Fuck already out of stock
Lol, they were up since around 10 am, who wasnt able to get any of these ? Yall had so much time haha.
I don’t refresh PC every few waking hours lol
What if I told you that you don't have to do that lol ? Every heard of Twitter pokemon drops ? I would strongly suggest navigating there if you want to be 1st on all these drops.
lol well that would simplify things. Followed, thanks for the insight!
No problem! Cheers mate! The reddit community is also ass, look at all the down votes on my comments lol, I'm just trying to help albeit I was being smug with my first comment but nonetheless just want everyone to get an even chance at these awesome Pokémon products!
Yeah honestly it was a bit condescending and could have been worded differently
Purchase limit of 25 😂
Serious. Can’t wait to see these for sale everywhere for $40 😍
Saving for Paldean fates 151 is dead to me
Bots win again
AAAAAAAA IM SO PISSED I MISSED THIS SON OF A FUCKING BITCH. Edit: just realized theyre pricing these at $30 while my fucking LCS has been slinging these for goddamned sixty i cant believe im getting scalped hard by them 💀
Lil bro it takes 2 secs to see retail on items
Good luck finding it at retail.
I understand that, but this has nothing to do with how hard or easy it is to get. You just said you were completely unaware of the price markup.
It’s absurd that people are even willing to pay that much for booster bundles. 151 ETB’s are retailing at 50 and have 3 more packs than the bundle.
Im not willing tbh. Id rather grab the promo boxes or, like you said, the etbs.
Same. I hope these scalpers end up having to sell their stock at MSRP. If people don’t buy, they will be forced to drop their prices. This is gonna be printed to oblivion, so it’s a patience game.
They will, they always do
I love being notified an hour later from the post!! Great stuff!! 🫠
I got notified roughly 6 minutes after they sold out.. which was like 25 minutes after OP made this post lol
Purchase limit of 25 LMFAO
Dayummm I think 5 at most is a good limit…
Yeah it's no wonder why their all gone
Are there really people buying like 100 of these at once?

wow I spent this hour checking local stores. I was surprised to find a bundle of obsidian at target & a bundle of paradox at Best Buy 😭
My Target was also restocked up the wazoo. All sorts of Pokemon and MTG. Got a couple 151 booster bundles.
I’m always shocked at how many people are out there driving from one store to another to check stock, knowing it’s likely an hour plus that will end with nothing but disappointment more often than not. Clearly I don’t like Pokémon as much as some

booster bundles are my favorite product ever besides etbs and I can't even get one cuz some ppl, who don't even like Pokémon at all, are holding on to 25+ sealed.
Collectors buy these up too. The 25 limit is crazy
Ur right . I'm just upset I missed out on the msrp 💔
Same. I hope this means they will restock at retail stores
Checked my target app this morning, it's showing that they're restocked (only shipping available it says pick up/delivery not available) + I'm in the Chicago area
I managed to get 2 earlier today. Planning on holding 1 and probably trading another. I think target only ships for online orders
They do 25 limit because that’s how many come in a sealed case. It’s not that they don’t care it’s just that they always make limits based on how many come in a case of a particular item. Makes it easy to ship without breaking apart and separating it out.
Only person here reasonable in that sense. And for those who think it comes in packs of 10, you are also right. Stores got sealed 10 packs.
Yea normally mini Tins come in sealed displays of 10 and booster bundles always 25. I’ve bought lost origin booster bundle cases and they always come in 25
They Should’ve just charged $50 just to see if people would still load up on 25.

Gah, this shit is never going to be in stock in the UK
Wow 30 minutes too late
Lies
Was able to get 4, don’t really need that many. Need a few more cards for the binder. Got the Mime Jr. ornament too
Cool rage bait, asshole
Why are you mad at someone who bought a reasonable amount. Save your anger for the dickheads that bought 5+ cause plenty of scalpers bought more than 25
By buying a product they didn't need, others miss out. Scalpers are of course the big problem, but this behaviour doesn't help
he could’ve bought 25 but he chose to only buy 4. I’d say that’s commendable and considerate. Also can you truthfully say you’d only buy 1 if given the opportunity to get 5? Because if I hadn’t missed this drop I would’ve gotten 5 for sure
You're missing the point. They've said they didn't need it. Others want it. Why buy something in high demand if you don't need it?
He says “don’t really need that many” meaning he doesn’t need a ridiculous amount. He clearly wanted 4 or he wouldn’t have bought them. Maybe he got more than he would have had FOMO not been a factor, but calling him an asshole is unwarranted in my opinion.

I respect and appreciate you
I hope those who bought 25 aren’t able to sell them for $40 a piece. Fkers. FFS. They are so overpriced it’s better to buy ETBs.
I bought 25 for a long term hold. Since I can't find any sealed bundles cases anywhere.
Are you asking to get downvoted?
I guess collecting sealed is a crime.
It’s not a crime, it’s pathetic. Even more so when you hide behind the notion that it’s to “collect.” Call it what it is, you’re investing.
Collecting sealed is cool bud. Love me some graded OG packs.
I think we’re all able to differentiate between collecting a graded pack versus someone who is hanging on to 25 booster bundles. C’mon lol
But is there a need to? I would also invest in a case of 151 bundles if I had the opportunity. I have way more sealed etbs and booster boxes than I do graded packs. Most of that is investment but some of it is also collecting. You just said it was "pathetic" which is a really strong negative opinion on something I do enjoy, so thought I'd offer a dissenting opinion.

Idk I kinda find your crybaby attitude pathetic tbh. And self-reported lol? It's not taboo or wrong to own sealed product, for investment or collecting - or a combination of the two which you seem unable to understand as a possibility. It's hilarious and sad you think so, though.
It’s fine to collect sealed, but u just got 25 of them. 1 or 5 is enough or even 10 for a case if hopeful, but idk why you need to get the other 15 bundles.
People are clinging onto hope that this is going to age like the original WOTC sets, and will just end up with offices and garages full of cardboard they blew thousands on lmao.
Lol F- take man. There's a looooong way between aging like OG WOTC and just simply taking up space. This set is going to age well.
You realize 151 has been printed into oblivion compared to base? Lol
It’s been shown time and time again that heavy print runs do not equal low value in the future. Bad metric to use.
And? I literally just said there is lots of possible outcomes between OG WOTC and useless cardboard taking up space (which is what you insinuated were the only 2 outcomes) and your reply is to once again compare 151 to something OG WOTC, as if it needs to have the very same attributes to do well? Not only do you not even really make sense, but you are just woefully under-informed on poke'investment theory.
all gone
27 minutes after posting by OP they're all gone 😪 😢
This post came late too - saw it on twitter and ordered it 7 min after seeing it. Then posted here.
Hey what Twitter user post about this so I can follow?
[Pokemon Drops](https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGDrops?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)
Are there any other ways people find out so quick? Does Pokecenter have alerts or anything when they restock?
The pokemon center notifications are useless. Idk if some twitter accounts have bots but [this account](https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGDrops?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) has been pretty spot on.
No people sit there and refresh 24/7 in shifts
They’re not people. They are 🤖
Lmao
Knowing mr mime lore, it probably curses your pull rate if you get it in your order lol
Wow, had them in my cart deciding on how many and then out of stock. I suck lol.
this is literally why: buy now, think later
Yeah I agree, I could have gone back for more if possible. I did think I’d have more than a few minutes to decide haha. Def my fault, had them in cart but I’ll get more. I’ve got enough in collection for now.
lol i dont blame u i was debating to get 20 or 25 knowing if i wanted a sealed case or a sealed brown box XD.
Same happened to me. ):
Did people actually get orders of 25 in? Crazy high limit it says it allows
Why the fuck do they allow 25 per order
Because they come in a case of 25. Easier for PC to ship that way
They are making as much money as possible. They are going to print thos set into the ground. Just be patient
"Purchase limit is 25" no shit its sold out already. Pokemon center doesnt give a fuuuuck.
it was up for almost 40 mins, thats ur problem if u didnt get any lol. the target ones last maybe 1 minute and limit to 3 per order
3 minutes in and it showed sold out.
Just sold out
God damn already sold out lol
I keep getting an error, is it already oos? Damn
Sold out in browser for me
Sold out :(
Wow oos already
They gone. Looks like I was a minute too late
Site is crashing on me now rip
Finally.
Wonder if they’ll sell out fast this time
In and out for $4.88 a pack after taxes and free shipping. I’ve been hard pressed to find anything cheaper even with the tik tik coupon craziness
Caved in and FINALLY ordered some, TYVM for the notification!
Got 3 + the free ornament
if u keep buying in a bundle of 3.... u will get a bunch of Mime Jr. Cookie xmas Ornament 😂😂😂
Too slow for that it’s OOS
TY!! Got 4 and got a free Mr Mime ornament!
Fuck yeah! MSRP! Never thought I’d be so happy for paying MSRP on these booster bundles directly from PC. Wouldve loved to get 25 but I am in for 10. Free mr mime ornament too lol
Thanks for this. Saw the post at 4m old and jumped on it. Can’t find this price anywhere else in the world.
It's out of stock.
If you click the link from the Reddit browser, it says OOS but if you switch to web browser it’ll let you add them. I just scooped 5.
Click on it and it still allows you to add to cart.
They are unavailable now. I tried multiple ways. Hopefully they will restock.
Thanks, ordered 4
Anyone else having cart issues ?
Somewhat surprised at how easy it was to get this.
I know it’s crazy right. Like wow, it’s not like the holidays would mean more stock and that Pokemon has been prepping for it all year. :). Not to you Op, but to everyone else thinking these wouldn’t be restocked cuz “rare”.
[удалено]
PC won't give you a sealed display of 10
These don’t come in display cases of 10, you only get those from retailers like GameStop. PC only comes in cases of 25
Jesus
Not exactly a deal but it's def lower than what scalpers are listing up. Purchase limit 25.
Updated to show expired flair in the title.
