Amazing Pickup. But where did you find boxes for 63?

Been buying for around 8000-8500 on Yahoo which is right around 63 usd

A ton of nice Saitou cards as of late

We’re reaching a point of being unable to pull bad art cards!

mercari. had to get a lot of three. could have gotten them cheaper, but wanted to make sure they’re sealed (since a lot of shops supposedly cut the seal before selling to people which is a convenient excuse for someone who wants to swap out the packs with dead packs)

Correct me if im wrong, but is this the first time that Pokemon center is ā€œprinting to demandā€ the PC ETB?

The pre order button is still up and taking orders it has been for some days/weeks now.

I’m pretty sure there’s a cap, just hasn’t been reached yet. We’re still far away from release and the set as a whole is being printed quite a bit. Gamenerdz still hasn’t sold out and they’re selling ETBs for 5 under MSRP.

Got it!

Also it seems boxes are rapidly dropping in price in ebay? You can find them between $80-90 now.

I should also mention that they can’t possibly ā€œprint to demandā€ something like an elite trainer box. Sets have hard release dates. They have to halt pre-orders if they don’t think they can achieve that number before its release date. The Pokemon Center ships their items out on release date and from what I know, they’ve never delayed orders unlike Gamestop & LGS’s. And Pokemon doesn’t push out release dates because they can’t reach PC exclusive ETB numbers before release date.

However, something like the Precious Collector Box from the Japanese Pokemon Center can be made to order. It had a pre-order window of two weeks in mid May and the product was arbitrarily stated to be shipped ā€œsequentially at the end of Novemberā€.

You can see how these two situations are drastically different.

Just did an opening and will post the video tomorrow. This set is scary good. Easily one of the top sets. My heart rate was still up well after the opening!

Also I got this cool poster and thought I would share!

I regret not buying the god pack cards before they got to 200$-300$ :upside_down_face:

Boxes are so much fun to open. Got lucky with the God pack as well, can’t wait to get more when prices settle and supply reaches vmax climax.

Hopefully this will be different than eevee heroes otherwise prices will never ā€œsettleā€.

Its a special set, PCJ has not had a problem pumping these out to meet demand. It will be similar to vmax climax and SSV in terms of availability imo.

@trainerjack Thanks for the heads up! :sweat_smile:

Now that I’m in the correct thread, here is my opening! This set should be classified as a drug! The biggest adrenaline rush I’ve felt opening a box!

I need a few boxes of this set. Looks like so much fun to open! This is one of those times where my goldfish brain comes in handy. I’ve seen a lot of the card arts, but they’ll feel new again when I open them!

And those rainbow reverse holo things look amazing too.
