I think they have beem sold in a binder/file combo like has been accidentally done in the past. I think PC packs were sold like 7 or 8 weeks before release date.
Unless today is the actual release date. I have no idea.
I was told release moved up to 11/2. My stuff usually gets in 4-10 days early, so it’s not far off the norm. This is the first time I’ve ordered retailer merchandise other than the basic stuff, so it may be different.
My local card shop is supplied by Banter and he has said to me, last week actually, that he has only ever had consistency from them as far as Pokemon releases go, every Pokemon product gets there when it is supposed to. I don’t know who supplies in USA, though.
If Walmart releases them early, it won’t be until either the 29th, 30th, or the 2nd of November. I’ve been working at Walmart for over 5 years and the earliest I have ever seen them release Pokemon is 5 days early.
It takes my computer forever to load photobucket so I did not post any here, but the blister pack photos are posted on my FB and there is a video opening some of them on my Youtube. Here are the checklane blisters:
Yeah it has an alternate foil. The ones from the set were selling out almost every night when I put them up so I was hoping these would sell well too haha. The Jirachi is the one selling really well though
