It already happened through distributors/individual shops, not Pokémon center online. More might continue to trickle out over time if Shiny Star is any indicator.
Thank you! Any recommendations for the best places to buy from, I always used to use amiami but they don’t have any in stock.
For this restock specifically, I ordered from jyw-pokeca. I usually just buy from the secondary market (ebay/stockx/yahoo/amazon).
Eevee Heroes reprint is now out. It seems that its not a high number - some people I know getting very low allocations. Also going by the number for sale on the secondary market, its not a lot.
In comparison, Shiny V seems to have been reprinted to quite a healthy amount - a good number of listings going up right now but I expect them to dwindle fairly quickly. From previous experience over the past 6 months, stock will probably only be easily acquired at a decent price for a month or so at best.
It’s also worth noting that a high number of boxes that are being sold, the stores are removing shrink in order to try and impact scalpers. Something to keep in mind and be weary of - will be plenty of people out there trying to sell boxes that have been sifted and say they are brand new and only the stores have removed the shrink.

The booster boxes were reprinted, but the prices are still holding relatively well.
The gym boxes did not get reprinted with the booster boxes. This might be a sign that the gym boxes would not be reprinted again. I see the gym boxes increasing in prices steadily.

Yeah - and listings for large quantities (5/10+) have quickly disappeared, at least for the Shiny V stuff. The reprints really must not have been a lot.

Seems like the large quantity listings pop out from time to time.
Anyone know how pokemon typically do their print runs, do they release the reprint in one huge shot or trickle it out slowly?
Now we have both English and Japanese versions of Espeon Vmax Alt Art, which version is more valuable and rarer?

Japanese is almost always rarer and for valuation I suggest looking at ebay sold listings.

But I saw pull rates for Fusion Strike is worse than Evolving Skies, meaning harder to pull Espeon English version.

Do you mean evolving skies, or eevee heroes?
Evolving Skies. I don’t have Eevee Heroes’ pull rates.

Japanese was an exclusive promo and english is a regular set card, the Japanese version is probably rarer

Yes, this was my intention in asking the question of evolving skies VS eevee heroes. Since Espeon VMax was released in eevee heroes in JP, then THAT is the set that you should be comparing to, not evolving skies. IMO
It wasn’t released in Eevee Heroes though, it was an exclusive promo that you got from the Gym Box released at the time. The only way to get it is to buy that box. So this entire argument is off as it’s comparing a promo card in one language to a set card in another.
Regardless @pokebuffet, “which card is rarer” is always an impossible question to answer because “rarity” has multiple different meanings. Do you mean rarity in terms of actual hard number of cards produced? Do you mean rarity in terms of difficulty of obtaining from a pack? Difficulty of finding a copy for sale? Price? Graded population?

Wow! I didnt realize there’re so many factors to consider.
Ok, I guess I’ll try “rarity in terms of actual hard number of cards produced”.
