EBGames Stamped Promotional Cards (AUS/NZ) + New Temporal Promo

Being a Kiwi from New Zealand, we usually miss out on the fair share of regional exclusive promos especially those from the US, UK and Europe. However, that being said we do have the EB Games Promos which are an alternative to Gamestop, as in New Zealand and Australia stores are branded as such. Note, stores in Canada were branded as EBGames, and had some promos as such released, however since 2023, the new promos were NZ and AUS exclusive. I started collecting these promos since late last year with the Dragonite promo, but have since having some people message me about these from E4, have made an ebay store and resold some to US buyers.

With the increase in dedicated master sets as well as popular releases like that of the recent Charmander and Umbreon. I thought it might be nice to document the releases, and continue to update the forum on new releases. Currently there are 375 stores in Australia and 41 stores in New Zealand, with each store getting 0-3 boxes of 50 promos, this is based on when I talked to employees.

For the sake of relevance, I will not discuss Promos released before 2022 eg Canadian releases, but will update once I have the time.

Currently, the new releases has been NZ exclusive (based on AUS not releasing) and with the less than 5 times the number of stores the supply of new EB Promos may not be as plentiful, and very little New Zealanders use Ebay due to local alternatives. With that being said I’m trying to supply all collectors with these promos, but likely without AUS releasing future promotions the supply will be short and price will be elevated. EBay charges me around 20% fees after all the taxes added on and shipping charges are $20 US, hence it might not be worth every day collectors to resell overseas. That being said, I’m just posting this to give more awareness to the promos and also explain the difficulties that some may have to obtain recent releases. I will update this thread but feel free if anyone has info or questions, add and comment or private message me. :slight_smile:

I’m trying to get my hands on the Charmander and Iron Moth in Canada if you or anyone has some extras!

AUS won’t have either, they haven’t released there. You can message me, I sell on ebay but can save you the fees.

I believe there are a couple of these EB Games promos that have a maple leaf beside the logo distinguishing the Canadian version from the Oceanic version.

Technically this would make the non Maple Leaf versions AUS/NZL exclusives as well.

Yes, you are correct. I know Flapple and Sandaconda had non-maple leaf versions. Duraldon is CA exclusive and there are french versions for Quebec CA i believe. I’ll update when I recieve them in the mail.
