Merry Christmas buddy! I’m super lucky, my local game shop is selling at cost. They like their customers and are selling the product at their standard 20%. Anyway, have a great day!
So far so good on my ETB preorders sold and distributed by Walmart. I placed them a couple weeks ago, so I’m optimistic they’ll follow through with the orders 🤞🤞🤞. Big retailers are the way to go, imo
So far lol... anything can change til Jan 17 ... til you get the "label created" update from Walmart.. currently its not guaranteed that you will get them
@ Yeah, I’ll have to wait and see! I’m cautiously optimistic about it haha! It’d be great if the preorders come through, but if they don’t, I’ll have more funds to invest elsewhere. I’m more focused on potential deals rather than PE. At some point during its life cycle, I’ll def have an opportunity to buy in at retail price and thats all that matters to me
@@ToughTrainerK I get that, and that’s def a decent idea! I think I’d prefer ETBs, tbh. I’m not a big pack opener, so I mainly made preorders with intent of investing. There’s more liquidity and collectibility in ETBs, imo. I don’t think either perspective or option are wrong tho 👍
I feel so dumb for not buying PC ETBs prior to surging. I remember thinking why spend 10 extra buck for a stupid stamp not realizing you get extra packs and also an extra unstamed card as well.
@@rayyoung7456 It’s not being dumb. It’s spending money wisely and only buying what you feel is right. Yes sometimes making a higher purchase works out but that’s a risk we all take. Just buy what you are comfortable buying at a price you agree with.
Prismatic is going to be release most of the year at least 9 out of the 12 with new products. Now Blooming Waters is going to be out everywhere and tons of product will be release. Prismatic ETBs will have less product, but almost everything else with have plenty of product out for everyone. My LGs was able to get over 100 boxes of booster bundles so lots of that to go around.
The prices on TCGplayer are nuts! Who the hell is paying $500 for Pokemon Center ETB. I get that they are valuable and have the special Pokemon Center promo card and will be worth something, but that is just way too much to pay.
So how does it work on the pokemon center website? I know there is a 2 box limit in place but once I complete my order of 2, can I place another and so on?
They were limiting it to one order per account. However, your order should a few days before the 17th and then it’s completed so I’m thinking you will be able to place another. Other way around it is a new account with a different shipping address
Wait for these to show up in store, I’d much rather pay $50 in a target or some other place in a month. Buying new stuff online is overpriced and sometimes a scam.
I preordered two cases of regular ETBs and as of now 1 of the cases is most likely being canceled, probably gonna end up being both cases. Merry Christmas
I believe the Pokemon Center Prismatic Evolution ETBs are an absolutel buy under $250. The Charmander promo stamp is worth over $1,000 in a psa 10 and its obvious the Eevee promo stamp will be worth over $1,000 in a psa 10 from the start, maybe even $1,500
@bng333 For Prismatic I was able to pre-order a case of 4 PC ETBs through pokemon center, and I'm now planning on buying a total of 8 more PC ETBs for $200-$250 each. I believe the Eevee Promo Stamp will be $1500 in a PSA 10 out the gate. This will shoot up the value of the PC boxes rapidly once word gets out and major youtubers put out that info. I believe the Prismatic PC ETBs will be $450-$500 by Spring
The charmander is that high in a psa 10 because the gem rate is very low as well as being a cool image. The gem rate has a lot to do with the $1000 price. If the evee gem rate is the same as the snorlax it will be a $500 psa 10
@@zookerman182 what your saying contradicts the Moonkitty btw. 14k PSA 10 moonkat on the market or in a closet. Only 735 PSA 10 snorlax. and the price disparity is immense. DEMAND for the Eevee pc stamp will more likely than not exceed the charmander promo and snorlax promo combined most likely do to the "cult" following of Eevee lovers.
U also have to realize that all the sellers of PC etbs are non stores so 50 % of those sales will be refunded if they can sell them again for a higher price🤷♂️
I saw that Terastrial sale when there were still thousands of bkxes and said nope. A relatively new seller with some sketchy feedack with 10k boxes? I know id be protected by TCG Player but the money would be tied up and Id rather have it for thr 17th.
The seller has 1 bad review out of 154 ratings giving the seller a 99.4% positive rating. Seller also has 484 completed sales with 38 current listings on tcg. That’s really not that sketchy
@LM-mc2lm its a matter of scale that concerns me. A relatively new account with a few hundred sales has 10,000 boxes of a sought after product. Thats not a little weird to you? I mean look, it might be totally legit. If it is, thats fantastic, a bunch of people got their hands on reasonably priced product. Im just not willing to tie up my money this close to the English set release. I think there are better opportunities and I dont have umlimitted cash.
Your best way to get retail is to check big box stores like Walmart and Target. Check them around 2 to 3 days before because they put them out couples days before release. Make sure to check every day, but what I would do is check morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening.
Getting an investment amount of PE is going to be almost impossible. I would rather pay a small premium to guarentee product, rather than trying to get lucky at retail and wasting my time. Most places only allow 2 boxes anyways. SS is a good example of how hard it is to come across in the wild.
People are acting silly. This set is going to be in every department store at LGF stores. I’m not thinking it’s going to be easy but there’s gonna be a lot of it and it’s going to be continuously release for at least a year from product that we saw. I think someone mentioned there’s a premium collection box with a promo coming out as well. Also, regarding the blooming water, this is the product that OP department store, but also at the Lgs.
god they really need to do something about the bots and scalpers. They'd still make the same amount of money, but the fans would be so much happier. It will sell, I guarantee it.
not even sure why tcgplayer doesn't allow everyone to presell pokemon center products. Brick & mortar stores don't get them any sooner or cheaper than any other customer. For anyone complaining about scalpers, just look at these smaller stores.
@@Itwasneveraphasecards that's what I'm saying. Why are stores allowed to sell pokemon center exclusive products early when they get them at the exact time I will? And then they manipulate the prices as if the market is higher than what it is. I don't believe for a second any customer is buying them on tcgplayer for double the price on ebay. I think shops are buying their own product to drive up the market price for pc exclusive sets.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!

Very sound and balanced advice. Also appreciate you are never out there hyper pumping products for self gain as some other influencers tend to do!
Always do your own research! Great to hear from a content creator, rather than sell out into hype and decisive opinions for controversy views
got to be aware of the pre release hype price and Merry Christmas bro
Hope you had a good Christmas bro! Keep up the good content. You're definitely one of my favorite Pokemon youtubers 🙏
Thanks for the updates. Merry Christmas!

My pre order of 4 regular etbs got canceled because the sellers in netherlands barely get their products, so I'm pissed.
Thanks for always keeping it real! Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! God blessed you and your entire family!
Surely brick and mortar stores shouldn’t be buying and reselling pokemon center etbs? 😂
Is it possible to buy two, and then make another order to get an additional two more? Great video btw!
I'm thinking so. If you first order already shipped before launch day.
Im going to try for at least one or 2 poke center etbs and maybe try for one surprise box.

The seller name was onepiecebreaks for the terestal boxes
Ah thanks for clarifying that
The binder is probably going down because the binder can’t hold all the cards in the set

We’re getting close boys, only 3 more weeks.
Was thinking about buy some of this series of pokemon cards
Try to get the PC ETB on 1/17 10 am est. Those will do really well long term
Wait for these to show up in store, I’d much rather pay $50 in a target or some other place in a month. Buying new stuff online is overpriced and sometimes a scam.
I bought a few of the $40 boxes from TCG player of Terastal festival and they got refunded and now they are double
Sorry to hear that thanks for letting us know though
I preordered two cases of regular ETBs and as of now 1 of the cases is most likely being canceled, probably gonna end up being both cases. Merry Christmas
Pc etbs that are being sold on tcg player are real but you don’t know if they are fake or not on ebay
I got 4 pre-ordered from Walmart for $54 each
It's crazy that the "most recent sold" even has a number. Nothing has been sold.
They are pre order sales. I get what you’re saying but money has changed hands the product just hasn’t shipped.
Great work there!

When they restock ? Like surgingsparks?
Yup morning of release. Surging restocked release morning too
Unfortunately pokemon center won't allow you to use PayPal for pre orders.
Can you use it for release day?
I got lucky and got 12 box's of the poster collection at msrp 🙌

Whats an investment amount
@ at least 2k in my opinion
@eastendmafia so if it triples, you made 4k lol. You're on your way to retirement, big bro. Weird number and tiny.

Anyone wants to trade for some evolving skys booster packs?
Join the discord there is a buy sell trade channel in there some one will be interested.
You know when they say buy local and help you lcs? This is why i dont and rather do UA-camrs rip and ship because they always givd you a better deal.
Yeah it’s hard to support locally when online is cheaper. I do both to be honest
Pre-ordered 8 booster bundle displays and 6 booster bundles for an average of 29,60$ per booster bundle. Feeling pretty good about that right now.
people who paid this amount of money for a etb when it comes out ur brain is not working good

Anyone pre-ordering any products not at msrp...is just plain stupid ...
kool
My full order got canceled off 1k rip my opening
Where was your order from?
