Scalpers are your beloved pokemon youtubers lol. They sell products behind cameras so they can make more revenue. So much media covering it everyone wants to open packs and stream it and make money from it.
Pokemon Center's website crashed because of this whole release of Journey Together... it's insane and I'm afraid to see what happens when Rocket's set goes up for pre-order!
@ it’s like they forget that it’s supposed to be a kids game, kids aren’t going to be able to get their hands on stock that’s only available for 30 seconds at MSRP before having to pay triple on the secondary market. Feels like they are screwing over their own customers for little to no reason
@@andyeames2014 they know that grown adults are buying these everywhere to scalp, so they don't care anymore. The problem is that now that Pokemon is essentially scalping their own product, people will leave the hobby and they will lose money long term
I got 2 PC etb’s, i thought they did great lmao. Avoided scalpers and allowed first come first serve to get a maximum of 2 etb’s. More shops need to follow suit.
@@brimonlibra nothing to do with beating bots when they limit 2 per person. Theres just that many interested parties lol. Pokemon is a worldwide VERY LARGE and popular hobby
@@Cory.k_they had a horrible bot detecting system this time and lots of normal people got ip banned and blocked when trying to buy from pc, u did get lucky tbf
I think its time for pokemon company to start printing more of each set. Everything that comes out now no matter what sells out instantly. Every set literally. If you dont live in countries that restock usually you dont have a chance to buy anything right now sadly for us.
Temporal Forces was the first set that they released short printed. It was because booster boxes for previous SV sets were being sold at prices that were so low that it just wasn't worth it. 85 Dollars for an Scarlet and Violet Base Set Booster Box.... Times change... Pokémon is now massive and they gotta adapt to it. Print to the ground or else...
Pokemon officials won’t reprint them for sure because this can keep the card with high in demand, so that cards can have an insane value. Plus people will get FOMO about it and Pokemon can keep to be viral in every year. That’s their strategy. Don’t forget they are the most successful businesses in card game industry
@Louie_Vision im not sure that anybody will be able to SEE the set if they don't print more, I literally went to try and pre-order an etb 20 mins after pokecollect put it up. AND THEY SOLD OUT.
It’s not sold out….odds are they are using presale data and how fast preorders sell out to gauge interest for additional production. I mean 3 years later and you can still get evo skies in stores
Im so upset. I havent beeen able to get my hands on preorders for blooming waters, prismatic evolutions, and journey together. I refuse to buy from scalpers. I hope they reprint the crap out of these sets. Scalpers are going to have nobody to sell to if nobody can afford to collect anymore.
If there are actually only 6 SIRs in the set which is what the press release made it look like then I doubt it'll get that high, even in this crazy market.
@@drax615 Stfu Unless you are a scalper you shouldn't be okay with this so either you are dumb or so rich you don't care that you are ganna support a scalper either way this hobby is pretty much ruined for the avg person.
Pokémon is creating false scarcity by only releasing small quantities at a time. People see that it "sells out" and they fomo as soon as product gets re-listed. That wave of re-list gets sold out faster because of the fake scarcity
@@Fierysen so you're telling me they underprinted surging and prismatic? They know the demand so if there's not enough, it most likely means they are holding product to create false scarcity
@@vjsoccer4204 No dude. They print a consistent amount of each set, and there has been an extremely unexpected boom in the market for Pokemon recently. I would not have expected them to do more than normal based on the speculation the product would outperform their expectations.
@ The boom started with Surging , so then with prismatic they had the data to know how much to print. Yet its been a disaster. Now they ran out of Journey together preorders...at what point does Pokemon say " we need to print more"
@@Dino-lv8eo lmao TPC is not benefitting from sales made in 3rd market sites. And do you think TPC can even beat scalpers when similar ultra rich corpos like Nike , Adidas , Ticket Master , Sony , etc. have failed to curb them out completely?
@Gigi-zr6hp Their products are selling out, so they should know there's a demand. If not, they should be accommodating for the demand. Regardless of how they messed up in the past, especially when the market is big at the moment.
I was able to secure 2 ETBs for myself, I posted a short with the drop and like 5mins after that went up the site crashed! It was crazy how fast it happened.... Every set going forward is going to be like this... Pokemon needs to get it together and figure out how to move forward without this happening..
@ yep, I must have just missed it! I didn’t even know they were gonna be released today. I was just on the site checking and saw that there was a new set and was like holy crap. Take my money. They didn’t :/
Guys don’t worry, it will be back up for pre order. The hype and value for this set is really still undetermined as we don’t even know all the cards in the set yet and the scalper value will possibly lower down. The only thing I can say that keeps the hype is that this is the first trainer set for etbs. Also a great note is to try to pre order on your phone as sometimes ordering on a computer will recognize you as a bot sometimes and even go as far as banning your ip. Good luck everyone
Saw from Danny Phantump that there isnt 2 different booster boxes... he said he was informed that this is just replacing the old booster boxes and this isn't some "Pokemon Center exclusive booster box"
It is in the UK, apparently. I managed to get 2 ETBs but didn’t know about the booster boxes having a promo, so I missed out on those. Will probably try and grab one on release day, if I’m lucky.
That's because certain content creators have an agreement with Pokemon Company International to do openings *today*. Danny Phantump explained the process on his stream yesterday. There is nothing unsavory about this. Just enjoy the opening.
I love the idea of the trainers and pokemone again. Reminds me of tag team cards. But I agree with everyone, the scalping is annoying. I'll never pay above msrp. If you do you empower scalpers just be patient in the end its just paper and ink.
I feel like I'm getting priced out of casual collecting. Like S/V Base through Shrouded Fable, it's been relatively easy to get cards, but since Surging Sparks, it's been near impossible to get anything for close to MSRP.
And this is why Japanese sets tend to be far better. They're cheaper, not nearly as "Scalped" and tend to just be better overall. Scalpers are completely ruining normal collecting and it's only getting worse.
The speed this sold out is just ridicolous, and I don't even want to imagine how much went to scalpers and bots rather than normal people who just like collecting cards.
They should just massively reprint every upcoming set after such childlike behaviours. Make them realize how over the top some people are. They spending so much and even fighting over it. But not one child near them that has a chance to see the wrapping irl...😐 They should just make every pokemon product 1 for 1 person. Long lines indeed but more customers.
If it’s this crazy right now with both Prismatic and Journey. I can only imagine how it’s going to be with “The Glory Of Team Rocket” it’s going to be extra madness!😂👌🏽
Can you use some compression software to balance the levels? You move your head around so much while you're talking, that the volume is all over the place. You'll be really quiet when you lean back and then blasting the volume a second later when you start shouting an inch from the mic.
It’s actually crazy as a business move to watch your product be scalped and people make 4x the amount of money as you before release. Print more product
I was just able to get my preorders in!!! Just went to my GameStop and ordered in store. Getting 3 etb’s, the big 36 count, the three pack blister, 10 packs, and the azure tin!!!
All the retail stores need to put a limit of 2 on everything pokemon to stop the scalping,its so hard to get anything now at retail prices and i refuse to pay double and tripple the cost.
Hey PokéRev! Love the energy and passion you bring to your videos-always a blast to watch. Just wanted to mention a quick tip about your mic setup. It looks like you’re using a Shure SM7B, but it seems like you’re speaking into the side of the mic rather than the front. This could be why the audio sounds a bit inconsistent at times. The SM7B works best when speaking directly into the end with the Shure logo. Alternatively, since you move around a lot, a shotgun mic mounted on top of your camera might work really well for capturing consistent audio. Keep up the great content!
I was so lucky to get my 2 etbs the second the pre-orders for journey together was available. 20 mins after the site was almost impossible to navigate as it was slowly crashing for pokemon center.
Glad I'm not buying any boxes or trying to complete the set, though this one looks cool. I'm only collecting cat based Pokemon cards and buy mine as singles, so I only need the Meowscarada line from this one I think and the Meowth full art if that one releases in English.
This is a good idea. I got back into TCG after 20 years when TCG Pocket came out and gave me the itch to start collecting again. Clearly is the worst time to start. I can't find ANYTHING at ANY store. :\ I just wanna open a few packs man...
this is actually crazy how every new set that drops becomes atleast 2x more than the msrp if not more. i understand vintage and older harder to get sets being more expensive but this is actually just so annoying not being able to enjoy new sets without spending so much.
@@meeslebruin At my place even as the hype dies or when it officially released, the price just keep going up and nonstop even as the card value dropped...
I have most of the Pokemon Center boxes and they’re usually around for a few days, I haven’t seen all products sell out this fast since Crown Zenith. It’s strange to see how the PC don’t overload their inventory by overproducing on pre-orders. The product isn’t out yet so having a limited supply on ultra popular sets seems counterproductive. On sets like these, they’re bound to sell out regardless since they’re some of the most iconic ones in the series & it’s even stranger how much of SV hasn’t been getting re-stocked even on standard sleeves & card packs.
The hype around Surging Sparks, Prismatic Evolutions, and Journey Together is so bad that it's impossible to get even a few items....crazier than the Covid years maybe??
I wish he talked about the growing problem of this hobby. 170 dollars for an evolution ETB. 60 dollar msrp. If I go to a local card store I do not want the price to be any different… it shouldn’t…
I got lucky getting 2 ETBs and 6 booster bundles but no luck on the booster box. The website kept crashing. This hobby has gotten wild for collectors :( it's like a lottery system at this point.
3:36 somehow I got two ETB’s 🤷♂️ I saw a post online it was live and just decided to buy two. I wish I would have grabbed booster bundles but thankful for what I got
The sad thing is the only way to stop scalpers is to not pay scalper prices…. But with the way the hobby is right now there’s always someone willing to pay.
Lol so funny, this morning I was watching a little bit older vid of you where you opened a box with the raichu card on top. U were talking about us needing that again and then I watched pokeoz saying we needed colorful boxes again. Later in the afternoon we got it both haha
Woke up at 615 for work saw that this went live. Got 2 ETBs in the cart. Website crashes and i get blacklisted for supposedly being a bot lol. Oh well better luck next time.
I was literally on the site today unaware there’s a new set dropping then I fall asleep wake up and there’s a new set and it’s sold out I literally signed up for emails and everything
Pokemon center absolutely flopped this pre-order. I had everything in cart. Went to check out, put credit card info in and it just wouldnt go through. Refreshed around 10 times entering my cc info and same bs.
I tried to buy this new set this morning and couldn’t even get on the Pokemon Center website… the price of these new sets are getting ridiculous too! Not going to lie if something doesn’t change to allow these boxes to be more affordable for people it might ruin the hobby…

1 pre order per address 😭 or if it could match the details from different accounts so you couldnt make an alternate account to buy more

Bots
Welcome to the new Pokémon, sir 😂
Only the pre release is sold out, once the release date hits, the regular stock comes out for everyone
Same result tho. Website crashes. Orders sold out. If you’re not lucky enough to be next to a computer when something releases you don’t get it.

On sets like these, they’re bound to sell out regardless since they’re some of the most iconic ones in the series & it’s even stranger how much of SV hasn’t been getting re-stocked even on standard sleeves & card packs.
This is brilliant! You always find to amaze.
Preorder in store at your local GameStop!! Limit of 2 per person I’m sure they’ll run out soon don’t wait.
Yes, I know luckily, I grabbed two ATVs and two booster boxes 😅
There was not limit at mine the guy told me I could order 10 if I wanted to
Thanks for making this video! It's very insightful and engaging.
Can't wait for the prismatic opening
Yeah when’s it coming? He said 2 hours
I can’t wait to open prismatic evolutions for my Chanel gonna be such a good set!
Scalpers should be able to be charged for price gouging. However I am hoping that my local shops could somehow luck out in getting these.
My local shops price gouge to scalpers prices. I've called them out before and they just have nothing to say
Under one minute gang👇
That’s nothing to brag about lol jk
The hype around Surging Sparks, Prismatic Evolutions, and Journey Together is so bad that it's impossible to get even a few items....crazier than the Covid years maybe??
Couldn’t check out like mostly everyone here. Tried to only get 1 PC to atleast display. Couldn’t get prismatic either.. it’s a bloodbath out here
Crazy how hard it is to find cards and the prices of what you can find is crazy as well
I wish he talked about the growing problem of this hobby. 170 dollars for an evolution ETB. 60 dollar msrp.
If I go to a local card store I do not want the price to be any different… it shouldn’t…
I got lucky getting 2 ETBs and 6 booster bundles but no luck on the booster box. The website kept crashing. This hobby has gotten wild for collectors :( it's like a lottery system at this point.
3:36 somehow I got two ETB’s 🤷♂️ I saw a post online it was live and just decided to buy two. I wish I would have grabbed booster bundles but thankful for what I got
The sad thing is the only way to stop scalpers is to not pay scalper prices….
But with the way the hobby is right now there’s always someone willing to pay.
Lol so funny, this morning I was watching a little bit older vid of you where you opened a box with the raichu card on top. U were talking about us needing that again and then I watched pokeoz saying we needed colorful boxes again. Later in the afternoon we got it both haha
Woke up at 615 for work saw that this went live. Got 2 ETBs in the cart. Website crashes and i get blacklisted for supposedly being a bot lol. Oh well better luck next time.
I was literally on the site today unaware there’s a new set dropping then I fall asleep wake up and there’s a new set and it’s sold out I literally signed up for emails and everything
I hope this is like tagteam 2.0
Pokemon center absolutely flopped this pre-order. I had everything in cart. Went to check out, put credit card info in and it just wouldnt go through. Refreshed around 10 times entering my cc info and same bs.
I tried to buy this new set this morning and couldn’t even get on the Pokemon Center website… the price of these new sets are getting ridiculous too! Not going to lie if something doesn’t change to allow these boxes to be more affordable for people it might ruin the hobby…
Booster boxs possibly having a promo card is so hype 🎉
I think they should only allow people to buy these the day they come out. & if they want a reminder, they sign up for email reminders
it’s so crazy how quick stuff sells out dude like these buyers are out of control
The craze for pokemon products is nuts. I wish there was a way to regulate scalpers
The website crashed for the majority of people, but did manage to get 2 etbs and 2 booster boxes. Really want that iono SIR!
