Sweet, getting two. I hope I can retire collecting PokƩmon cards after this year. There is too much!
Ooo Iād get that. Iām guessing that the shaymin is the same promo from the Shiny 2 collection.

Ooh, awesome - the design looks so nice that Iāll probably get tricked into buying it, despite the fact that Iāll be drowning in Generations stuff by the end of the year.

REPRINT ALERT: Pokemon Red & Blue Collection: Charizard EX Box
Release August 2016
9 Likes
I saw that come up on my distributors site. I figured it was an error? Have you confirmed that it is actually be reprinted? I will look into this from my end as well.
Yeah just confirmed it. Reprint. I know the releases through my distributor have been a bit of a sh*t show as far as getting their product pages even posted hardly before the preorder dates. Also allocations have been spotty at best I donāt know if that is an issue back to the source or just through my own preordering channel, but I have been cut short on one or two of my preorders due to overallocation or whatever. I think it was fairly bad for these Charizard red-blue boxes especially. It was really bad at the start as it seemed with 12 mythical boxes and mew starting in Feb I think they were a little behind to begin with. Now they seemed to have caught up and at least have product pages and preorder dates for all generations related items out through August/Sept.
Just wonder what if anything they may reprint next.

I know its a dumb question, but iāll ask it 
With this reprint, we looking at prices for the sealed boxes going down or staying the same?
Asking about retail price or second hand?
What is weird is that some distributors are getting allocated over 90% on certain product, while others none. I had one distributor end up with 24/240 Mythical Manaphy boxes for me, and then another getting me all that I had ordered.
I have been told these are going to be further allocated, but if that is the case why reprint? That makes me wary of buying more product. I dropped my purchase orders by 60% on some items just because they keep tacking on more items that were not part of the original advertisements.
I noticed the other day that my 10% Discount at Walmart doesnāt work on the Blastoise Ex or Darkrai Boxes. It worked a week ago on them, but now it doesnāt. I have people looking into it for me. Wondering why this isā¦ The discount still works on Charizard Ex boxes. And Mew, Celebi, Jirachi Boxes if I can find themā¦
At Target right now if you buy $50 of Toys / Games you get $10 off your purchase. Worked for me with 2 Blastoise EX Boxes.

that does raise some issues on that end as why allocate things and then also reprint a box? unless its for the worlds store when they have it. not to mention the crazy amount of things you already have for the anniversary this year is VERY BAD for pokemon fans lol
Of course they are reprinting everything!
Their motto is

What does not reprinting gain them?
While I inherently hate re-prints, it is probably due to the initial demand of the boxes. I know a couple distributors that couldnāt complete orders, so perhaps that plays a role in their decision. Either way it is unfortunate.

If anyone ever thought Nintendo didnāt like money for whatever reason, weād have a lot of evidence to the contrary.
