Honestly I hate this, I’m just a normal person, not a scalper or business, 3rd set in a row now where I cannot get a single ETB. Surging sparks, Prismatic evo & now Journey Together. It demoralizes your entire train of thought to even continue collecting & opening pokemon cards 😒 :/
It really is brutal to be fair. I sympathise with you - its become a complete rat race with the average enjoyer having to pay instant above MSRP prices. This sold out in less than an hour, Surging Sold out within 3 days.. crazyness.
I think this set is especially huge in Japan because a lot of Japanese collectors love trainer cards and cards with trainers and monsters together, that's why in so many sets the chase cards are trainers.
@@MrPoisonousWafflez Lots of the 'waifus' are children, so the Western market is slightly different and nowhere near as extreme because being a nonce and being attracted to children isn't as acceptable in the west as it is in Japan. It still happens, and waifu cards still hold 'some' value in the west, but nowhere near as much as Japan.
I got blocked after my refreshing the page since it kept crashing. frustrating as i am def not a robot despite the site saying i was when i was just trying to actually get on the site. :(
The 25 limit on the booster bundle is annoying. Instantly sold out. They got to lower the limit from 25 so there's more to go around... Edit: PC did drop it to 5 per order now it seems. They did that after it's already sold out and after the site crashing this morning lol. Seems they are prepping the listing for the next drop on release day.
It's already listed as 'not available'. Honestly, this type of immediate sell outs and price gouging from scalpers is ruining the hobby for my kid and I.
Wasn't even up for preorder for a couple hours and its already sold out literally every where im legitimately done collecting pokemon this ridiculous it's been like this for the past 4 years this used to be fun now its just stressful i refuse to over pay and go bankrupt for shiny cardboard from people who don't even enjoy the hobby. Might pick it back up in a couple years when / if it dies down.
Thanks that’s one less person we all have to fight for orders with. This is the new norm man it’s a bull market now. Not the same as the last 5 years of cheap supply that no one wants.
@@jonathanreyes-tt7ws don’t know what point you are trying to make here?? All I’m saying is i wish more people understood that getting preorders is luck of the draw not some guarantee.
This is really tough, at least with Prismatic Evolutions the website sent out an email saying you can preorder but not a single email saying this was available. I had to find out with this video and don’t check till 4 hours after the video came out. So disappointed.
The website has been very messed up this morning. I was able to pre-order before 9, and then it disappeared. Then it popped back up at 9, then went away again. The booster bundle said it was sold out the second it popped up.
@verbalspaghettigaming7570 well there was talk about it being announced last night and usually when the internet finds out it exists the next day Pokemon Center drops it
@thezvirus Talk on the internet? Where even? Reddit? UA-cam? I didn't see literally anything and I'm getting tired seeing resellers list 16 ETB preorders for sale...
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 I do believe Ross had mentioned the name of the set and that's where I based it upon he dropped a video yesterday talking about the Japanese set and I agree 100% there's already 60 sold listings on eBay for about $200 a box I understand Pokemon don't care as long as they make their money but they're not going to make any money if everybody just stops buying this stuff because of scalpers
I managed to place an order in the UK, but others had issues only a couple of minutes later... Also, i got alerted pretty early on, and even by then they had sold out of all of the booster bundles. Crazy that they had a limit of 25 per customer.
@@OscarTorres-bv1zn Yeah, deep regret. I did the same and got blocked. Somehow I can get in with a VPN which is dumb. Still, I can't get through and order or log in. And it's gone. Everything is gone.
I was super excited the last two years being able to get back into the hobby. But with it seemingly impossible to get product at the proper price, I kind of feel like I’m over it and that in itself is kind of a bummer. Was really enjoying it.
You know, I didn't think about it until now, but it's kinda weird that we haven't seen Steven's Beldum and Steven's Metagross ex yet, considering it seemed like the product based around it was going to be for this set. Same goes for Marnie's Morpeko and Grimmsnarl ex.
For anyone wondering as of this morning GameStop still had sleeved boosters available for preorder.. I ordered 40 around noon today. There's a limit of 10, but just put in multiple orders.
I had the ETB‘s in my cart and my address was already on my account. I clicked the use shipping as billing address and the site crashed, and now the ETB‘s are sold out.😭😭😭
i was expecting you' go "it's up for pre order, right now, on the pokemon centre, aaaaaaaannd, it's gone".. as that's essentially how it went yesterday
hey Wossey. do you know if the illustration rare-style promo card featuring N's Reshiram with the Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together card in the booster boxes comes in every region? eg Australia
Pokémon and Magic need to stop releasing their availability for prereleases 2 MONTHS BEFORE RELEASE. When sets are available to purchase for pre release , I never have enough money to purchase anything. Then the set releases and it goes up and I get screwed again. I'm so tired of this shit.
The set dropped on the West Coast at about 0545 in the morning. After 0600 the issues started in masse where the site was crashing intermittently to full blown shenanigans to where product in the cart is there but can't do anything about it. If anyone is having issues and you are logged in, I recommend not logging out cause it will be a pain in the (insert explicative) to log back in. Don't keep hitting refresh to much cause you'll get locked out for a bit. Again good luck to those trying to get the set
If i didn't have a day off today i would've definitely missed this. Plus my kid waking me up at 0330 in the morning. sign from God lol @anthonylopez9777
Four trainers Pokémon ex. So we have confirmed Iono Bellibolt ex, lillies clefairy ex, ns zoroark ex, and hops zacian ex. But in the trailer shown at worlds it showed Marnie’s grimmsnarl ex. Could this be split into multiple trainers Pokémon sets?
Welp time to wait 6 months - a year for me to get the prismatic evolution and battle partner. Probably will get it at actual market value too, i can wait, still frustrated but can wait
I 2nd this^ really wanna cop a pc etb for rocket set. Crazy they put these up for sale and I looked on the website and it doesn't even advertise Journey together 🫤
I’m really bearish on this set, I think it’s going to be a more ho-hum set like stellar crown or temporal forces, with a few hits, but nothing too crazy
Yeah, no thanks. The bots and scalpers have ruined this set for me. And I absolutely loathe what Pokemon Center is doing by allowing them to buy up all stock over the average player/collector. Putting a limit of SIX on the BB's for the first initial wave? What chance does the average player have against that? All they're doing is sending out sealed products/cases to scalpers who will then overprice everything and everyone. The ETB is already on Ebay for £400+. They did this with Prismatic as well, so apparently learned nothing. I will no longer purchase direct from the PC for any products going forward.
Insanity isn't it. People are buying listings also for £150 - £200 per ETB and currently a few ETB & Booster Box Bundles have sold for £500. What I'm shocked at is the economic standpoint of all this, like how is this literally affordable or sustainable for people, its not? PC/Nintendo will surely have to step in at somepoint because its got to the point where its actually worse than covid. Things are instantly sold out and priced 4X MSRP etc. Players, kids, hobbyists.. will be completely priced out. Its now just a Stock Market for big boys and white shirts.
@@mermerchar They were selling the booster bundles (6 packs) with purchase limit of TWENTY FIVE. (25!) As you rightly say, how on earth is a kid supposed to compete against that with his pocket money of £25? All they're doing is catering to big business, scalpers, rip 'n shippers, etc. Not the average player AT ALL.
@@mermercharyes Nintendo must step in and stop making money lol. Never gonna happen bud companies exist to make money and pokemon is no exception. Just because you didn’t get some today so what move on and wait for the second wave or third wave or fourth wave of stock. You expect pokemon to print 50 trillion packs and make them free so “kids” can get them and make the whole TCG worthless?? Just because everyone on the planet wants something doesn’t mean it needs to be cheap and unlimited stock.
@@TheOneJezza I didn't say they MUST step in did I? I said they may and ultimately its down to ethics and wether or not the bubble bursts due to sheer neglect of the actual foundation that made Nintendo/Pokemon the IP it is today which isn't "Investors" or "STOCK MARKET SWINGS" .. It was built around collecting, collectors , community and generally saw generational success due to that very reason up until 2020 where that line has been massively blurred. If they truly lose sight of that and Pokemon only becomes one huge capitlist pump and dump for market traders/big corps and hedge funders then it will crash and it will burn into nothing as it completely loses its identity and the bubble will well and truly explode.
I'm interested in the UK release of the Marnie's grimsnal ex deck is going to like sylveon ex deck where the cards are in the set or are we getting the deck
I missed the pokemon center release. Oh well I would've liked to have the stamped card -- I missed the Terastal festival too. (I think 151 is the only other stamped promo I've missed out on)
Ya it should be unlimited and cheap so the cards are worthless and pokemon goes broke so I can open some packs and have cards that are not worth a penny. Every card should also be a special illustration rare and 100 cards should come in a booster. They should also just be handed out to everyone on earth from pokemon employees on street corners. They need to open three more printing facilities in every country and spend a trillion dollars doing so just so I can have my free packs of worthless cards.
@TheOneJezza you do realize before 2020 pokemon cards were often on sale and put on clearance shelves right... guess what they still made Pokemon cards they can definitley survive without 50 percent of the current market.
@@TheOneJezza The market was never like this pre 2020 where was the market during the 20th anniversary back in 2016? Why do people complain when the market is low?
@ no it’s not a direct compassion as there are millions of new people in the hobby now but as a 40 year old who’s bought pokemon since 1999 and invested since 2005 I’ve seen major shifts up and down every couple years. This market is no different than any other market. The highs look higher now that’s there are millions more in the mix but the concept remains the same
The second set in the scarlet and violet era I wasn’t able to pre-order my one etb, the only other one was 151. 😭 I managed to pre-order one on the only other website I could find that still had stock available for the regular etb, but they charged me $20 extra just to keep it sealed when they ship it?! I didn’t have any other choices, but god damn!
I've been able to add 2 booster boxes to the cart and it just crashes. And now I'm blocked from the site because I keep going back and forth trying to refresh to preorder...
Is there a normal booster and a an enhanced booster? It's so unclear. The UK versions don't list the promo as part of the description so not sure if the enhanced one is a Pokémon center exclusive or not
Wow, this is annoying and why I left the hobby. Kinda regretting coming back. It’s going to to take them printing a set or two into oblivion to get rid of all the damn scalpers before we have a readily available set again. Really sucks for actual collectors and players.
Your voice sounds similar to Nigel Firage, but like if he was excited about things. That is not an insult in anyway. Just very interesting 😂 I appreciate your videos as always! Great work ❤️
I am waiting for a card to be announced to seehow many normal cards are in Journey together and how many generations battle deck cards are added to the set's 100 cards Battle Together have
How dare people make money! Everything should be free! Consumers should have to keep what they buy re selling stuff should be illegal! Just ridiculous that people like money!
I sure hope box toppers are not pokemon center limited. There are a lot of us who can't order directly from pokemon centers when they are only in the us, uk and japan
Need to know if the enhanced booster box is Pokémon center exclusive… it doesn’t state anything about it being exclusive in title or description and the promo is “journey together” stamped instead of PC stamped
Large set release every 2 months means much less print amounts and much more scalping. It's unsustainable as majority of product simply never gets opened and enjoyed, but rather sits in people's storages as an investment. Pokemon TCG is no longer a hobby, it's business. A very dirty business at that.
Pokemon has always been a business. They have also always released the same amount of sets per year since the start. They also have been printing double and triple the stock of past sets. Just because you didn’t get any does not mean the company is doing anything wrong. And so much is opened lol have you never been on UA-cam or instagram or Facebook? There are people opening thousands of packs every day lol
@@TheOneJezza BW was 12, XY was 14, SM was 15, SWSH was 17 major sets, all in about 3 years timespan. SV is currently sitting at 12 major less than 2 years in. It's ramping up. Things that people open on camera are drop in the ocean. The biggest sign is that some sets are completely missing from the stores because everything that has even vaguely interesting cards gets scalped super fast. I switched to pretty much just buying singles because I'm refusing to pay premium to a scalper or even a store. It got so bad that normal stores are selling at scalper prices. Excusing these practices will only make things worse down the line.
About the size of the set and 16 exs, Prisnatic Evolutions cut *A LOT* of cards, especially generation deck cards from Hoenn, Unova, Alola, Galar, and Paldea . Expect them to the thrown in JNT
Prismatic Evolutions reprinted a ton of cards since it's an EotY set. Most reprints will not be included, just like in PAF. We'll see a reprint pf desirable cards in another form as always but not in JNT
@ yh it was the same already had an account n my last orders I did like a month or 2 ago went smoothly, never had an issue, at first it was just an error message making me reload the page, then it kept saying make sure your shipping address is correct, then it was saying my card details were incorrect 😂
Its time pokemon starts printing almost double what theyre printing now of each set, i don't care if it drops the value of specific cards i just want to be able to even open packs from sets outside of a pre release. The fact stores where i live arnt doing pre orders for sets anymore because they dont know how much theyre getting from the pokemon company is insane. If people want the product they should be able to buy said product especially for things that are mass produced like pokemon cards are.
Pokémon product now reminds me of that episode of south park when he goes to the bank and the banker just keeps telling him “and it’s gone” lol
or when they went to get prime and there was an entire war
Literally what I thought. I learned about this set, went to the website...and it's gone.
Honestly I hate this, I’m just a normal person, not a scalper or business, 3rd set in a row now where I cannot get a single ETB. Surging sparks, Prismatic evo & now Journey Together. It demoralizes your entire train of thought to even continue collecting & opening pokemon cards 😒 :/

love the idea of the box topper just hope they print enough to make this one easy to obtain
i was lucky to preorder 2 before this happens.... wow
Me too, some random twitter accout posted a link and I was able to order 2 off Pokemon center. I didn’t even know this was dropping
How can I be notified about a release to be able to predorder in the future?
I've been able to add 2 booster boxes to the cart and it just crashes. And now I'm blocked from the site because I keep going back and forth trying to refresh to preorder...
Was trying to get an etb and same thing happened to me lol
Danny Phantom made a video explaining that the boxtopper should be for every box, and not only pc version
Not up for preorder. Currently listed as "Unavailable".
Is there a normal booster and a an enhanced booster? It's so unclear. The UK versions don't list the promo as part of the description so not sure if the enhanced one is a Pokémon center exclusive or not
Hey I found a picture of the N’s zorua promo its not the full card but if you want I can send it your way ❤❤❤
Yes please!
Yeah kinda surprised you didn't make a video on the mega evolution cards next year
Just woke up and I couldn't get a hold of one because the website is extremely borked! So much for getting the PC ETB.
After missing out on lots of Prismatic I managed to get 2 Etbs, 5 Booster Bundles & 4 Booster Boxes!!
Got 2 PC ETBs but hesitated on the PC BB and now I’m cooked. Tried for 2 hours to get just 1 but the site was trashed
Wow, this is annoying and why I left the hobby. Kinda regretting coming back. It’s going to to take them printing a set or two into oblivion to get rid of all the damn scalpers before we have a readily available set again. Really sucks for actual collectors and players.
Your voice sounds similar to Nigel Firage, but like if he was excited about things. That is not an insult in anyway. Just very interesting 😂 I appreciate your videos as always! Great work ❤️
I am waiting for a card to be announced to seehow many normal cards are in Journey together and how many generations battle deck cards are added to the set's 100 cards Battle Together have
Went to go buy a ETB says they out of stock already 😢
Well it’s sold out I had in my cart 5 times and I couldn’t even place one single order
Sooo I've learnt now to check pokemon center as soon as I wake up every day 😂 this looks like a set I would like to master. Those damn PC etb promos 😤
They sold out almost instantly after major crashing. But there's already a bunch of stock on eBay at 5-10x cost. Ridiculous.
How dare people make money! Everything should be free! Consumers should have to keep what they buy re selling stuff should be illegal! Just ridiculous that people like money!
@@TheOneJezza You've commented so many times 😂I guess you're trying to turn people on the thought of buying the few ETBs you scalped
everything says unavailable not sold out so nobody can get them yet i’m pretty sure
I hope the new sets get a boost in cards printed cause of the new popularity
2 booster bundles & 2 ETBs on the way. Goodluck to all
As someone who enjoys playing, i was able to actually get a pc etb for surging sparks. However, this debacle makes me very frustrated.
Is the promo card in booster box gonna be pc stamped?
I sure hope box toppers are not pokemon center limited. There are a lot of us who can't order directly from pokemon centers when they are only in the us, uk and japan
it's already sold out in less than an hour, right after the site started working this is so dumb
So how am i supposed to play pokemon tcg, if the new and improved cards are hits that people chsse, or hold the sealed product
Pokemon center is already struggling badly
When we get team rocket set?
I was going to check out my preorder and the next screen was black 😂😂
I didn't know that reshiram card was a PROMO!! Now I'm blocked!!
me too, just wanted one. WHY don't they just limit everyone to one set at the beginning?
Need to know if the enhanced booster box is Pokémon center exclusive… it doesn’t state anything about it being exclusive in title or description and the promo is “journey together” stamped instead of PC stamped
Agree. Really interested to understand more about this promo in the BB!
I think they're getting back to including a "box top" promo card in every booster box.
Large set release every 2 months means much less print amounts and much more scalping. It's unsustainable as majority of product simply never gets opened and enjoyed, but rather sits in people's storages as an investment. Pokemon TCG is no longer a hobby, it's business. A very dirty business at that.
Pokemon has always been a business. They have also always released the same amount of sets per year since the start. They also have been printing double and triple the stock of past sets. Just because you didn’t get any does not mean the company is doing anything wrong. And so much is opened lol have you never been on UA-cam or instagram or Facebook? There are people opening thousands of packs every day lol
@@TheOneJezza BW was 12, XY was 14, SM was 15, SWSH was 17 major sets, all in about 3 years timespan. SV is currently sitting at 12 major less than 2 years in. It's ramping up. Things that people open on camera are drop in the ocean.
The biggest sign is that some sets are completely missing from the stores because everything that has even vaguely interesting cards gets scalped super fast.
I switched to pretty much just buying singles because I'm refusing to pay premium to a scalper or even a store. It got so bad that normal stores are selling at scalper prices. Excusing these practices will only make things worse down the line.
@@DivinePonies have you ever seen the 24 hour long streams that open 10,000 plus packs? Rip and shippers open hundreds of thousands of packs DAILY!
Will stock be available at msrp for Japanese battle partners post release? I don’t mind waiting if I’m getting that price
It has a waifu card for japanese. It will start stupidly high like the last time with clay.
About the size of the set and 16 exs, Prisnatic Evolutions cut *A LOT* of cards, especially generation deck cards from Hoenn, Unova, Alola, Galar, and Paldea . Expect them to the thrown in JNT
Prismatic Evolutions reprinted a ton of cards since it's an EotY set. Most reprints will not be included, just like in PAF. We'll see a reprint pf desirable cards in another form as always but not in JNT
Luckily was able to snag 2 ETBs and that “Enhanced” booster box. Wish it was easier but that’s the hobby now
managed to get 2 etb and 2 booster boxes from the pokemon centre uk. thank god
So no Tag Team Cards?
A hour after your video post and everything on the PC says not available…. Missed out???😢
Tried ordering for an hour, kept getting error messages and “payment info not correct” untill they went out of stock 😂😂😂 mad that ain’t it
Was your shipping address the same as billing. They are notorious for making people match them to enforce the household purchase limit on sets
@ yh it was the same already had an account n my last orders I did like a month or 2 ago went smoothly, never had an issue, at first it was just an error message making me reload the page, then it kept saying make sure your shipping address is correct, then it was saying my card details were incorrect 😂
Was able to get 2 etbs on the snipe thank you trackalacka
Blessed my local GameStop still had singles to preorder. Got 10🙏
I am not saying this set isnt appealing but what I have seen so far doesnt scream Buy Out to this level.
Why can I never get the damn email updates for this I didn’t even know this was a thing
They ask you if you want email updates after every order you make on the site lol
I was really hoping that they wouldn’t reveal this set for a little while, cause I ain’t got any money to preorder before it’s sold out
Payment is taken when product ships. You cancel preorder if needed.
Ya the whole world needs to wait cause you don’t have money lol
Between the Eevee set & Team Rocket, Battle Partners will be the stinker.
Can’t wait for prereleases for this set!
i thought this was warrented to be a special set especially being teased almost a year ago, not a random set with eevee evolutions in it..
Its time pokemon starts printing almost double what theyre printing now of each set, i don't care if it drops the value of specific cards i just want to be able to even open packs from sets outside of a pre release. The fact stores where i live arnt doing pre orders for sets anymore because they dont know how much theyre getting from the pokemon company is insane. If people want the product they should be able to buy said product especially for things that are mass produced like pokemon cards are.
