There’s no chance the UPCs would stay in stock for days. MSRP is just too low given how desirable the promos are, even if a huge restock dropped.
My target is all stocked up! Such a cool thing to see! Helped a couple of parents figure out what their kids would want for Christmas. Glad to see stuff is starting to go back to normal. Scott’s always been right about not wasting your time preordering

Ultra Premium Collections are consistently listed at low $200’s. But there aren’t many sellers with a ton. There are multiple individual listings like this: ebay.us/ri3Wnh
ETB’s are holding sub $60, multiple sellers with deep supply: ebay.us/sE1e8D
With Rudy’s video about more production, I really hope this is the future for English modern!

Woah those Japanese 25th Anniversary boxes are around $200-300! I do recall the pre-sales being between $700-1000 ~

Great price. Supposedly the gold boxes will be made to order next year, but might just get one now.

If you’re buying ETBs on eBay, you’re a dummy.
It’s in stock online almost everywhere.
If anything choosing the Pokemon Centre version would be ideal ~

Which video? Is it an older one?
Is it a safe bet prices for product generally don’t dip below MSRP?
We now weeks later, and no information from TPCi on restock for European distributors. Asmodee and KaissaGames have not received information from them yet about any restock. So it seems that Europe has received one print run and that’s it.

Has America had 2 waves while EU and England have only had one ? If so I am expecting another wave for Europe and England sooner or later
I still haven’t gotten my pikachu v-union box even though apparently a lot of them have arrived in my country which is annoying, the game store i bought it from (which one of the big ones in my country) only got few boxes at the end of last year and i didn’t get mine and meanwhile some random book stores had loads of the same boxes with over 2x over the retail price. Sometimes it really sucks being a collector in europe

I completely forgot, in case someone finds it interesting:
Last week I inspected and quality controlled a private stash of S8a-p Charizards bought from various japanese dealers on eBay. 15% of the cards were off-centered to the point where PSA 10 and BGS 10 of course are (supposed) to be out of the question, but the remaining 85% were in magnificent condition. So not only did the Japanese standard hold true, but I doubt these were pre-sorted.

Sorry I’m a bit out of the loop, but do we know how and when we get Greninja Gold Star in Japanese?
This but also for the other promos

Just discovered as of today that the Japanese s8a 25th Anniversary set has Reverse cards !
I’ve seen some pack openings on Youtube and the Reverse card is not guaranteed per pack. Does someone know the pull rate ?

Feels weird and backwards saying this, but it is English exclusive and might remain that way. It seems like English got a better deal with our celebrations releases including the UPC and promos. Japanese store websites are actually selling English sealed celebration product which is a little unusual. This is probably because the promos like greninja, dragapult didn’t get released in Japanese yet (although some promos were released in other languages like Lance’s Charizard in Chinese). Who knows if they will be released in Japanese, but it is 2022 already and no longer the 25th anniversary
Some of the promos also have a disclaimer on the bottom that they’re not tournament legal, so I don’t know if Pokemon feels obligated to print them.
