‘Evolving Skies’ Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Boxes Delayed

Any word on compensations like the last ETB?

I see no reason to provide compensation for something completely out of their control. Maybe if there was a significant delay. Like months. Even then, I wouldn't expect much of anything.

The last PCETB orders were zapped, these are just delayed. Compensation could come, but likely not.

Would I be able to buy the card sleeves without purchasing the elite trainer box?

You could buy the sleeves on TCGPlayer. Not Saying they'll be cheap, but you can get them.
Sadly, TCGPlayer doesn't sell the dice or coins, pins, or empty ETBs. Most of them aren't exactly competitively relevant, but since I'm 99% sure that this stuff comes from ETBs that YouTubers, hobby shops, and perhaps investors (or scalpers, depending on whether your goal is to make a profitable long term investment or to ransom off an entire generation of Pokémon to turn a quick profit) who are either opening vast amounts of product for personal entertainment (and subscribers) or gutting product for singles to flip for a profit, so the extra bling has to go somewhere, but then again you can always try getting the stuff on eBay (a lot of people sell opened ETBs with the basic Energy, dividers, dice, and other stuff left in the box).
