Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum collaboration

I wonder if the price will come down on the merchandise as much as the promos. Really wanted to pick up the Pikachu figure but I wasnt fast enough

Lol sure

I had my pikachu sleeves in my shopping cart but was too slow in checking out :sob: Sad that they aren’t restocking… You just know with that kind of announcement, people are going to pounce on the secondary market and prices won’t dip as much

To me , pokemon japan should step in and have a close look at how their brand is managed outside its territory and go for a management check-up in the US and UK. Everything is so poorly managed.

The disconnect between how pokemon center in japan and outside it operate are not even in sync as if we have two different company.

I do hope that this is not the break point for the brand going forward.

From shine to shame.

Nice from the Pokémon Center… except…

The one obtained from the Van Gogh Museum was the only way for Europeans to obtain it without having to jump through hoops with shipping forwarders. It’s the first ever exclusive to mainland Europe card and it got scalped away from us. And what do we have? No other way to obtain the damn thing other than pay the heavily inflated price North American people will ask for it.

Received a notification 10 minutes ago from the Van Gogh Museum webshop … haven’t been able to even reach the site since.

Yup, same for me.

And I have to be off to work now, so I don’t even get to sit here endlessly and futilely refreshing the page…

Now it’s letting me access products, but not put them in the shopping cart.

I got something added to my shopping cart (the card wallet that was out of stock when I went)!

… I just can’t reach my shopping cart now.

Man this comment aged quicker than Dorian Gray seeing his portrait

I like the museum version of postcards a lot more, let’s see if can get through in museum webstore to grab a set. Other than that the negativity did make an effect in this for me and i’m just hoping to grab the individual sleeves or at least the komiya ones. If someone managed to buy some sleeves and is planning to open them i can volunteer to throw some money on you

I don’t think I saw sleeves among the products in the store.

The pokemon center sleeves i mean, the ones that are already on ebay with scalper prices

Haven’t gotten through with my randomly timed attempts in museum webstore and not sure if it’s soon already too late when US wakes up, did anyone manage to buy anything?

Me neither, I managed to get to the size selection of the T-Shirt in the meantime, but still can’t put it in the shopping cart.

I managed to get to the postcard set page but not further than that, can share the link tho if someone wants it (just the page, not add cart)
