As posted before, Ruler of the Black Flame will release in Japan on July 28th. In English we’ll get the set in August’s Obsidian Flames.
The other day we revealed Ruler of the Black Flame will see a small initial release, then a wider release in early August. This is part of Pokemon’s efforts to combat scalping. Sending product to stores after release will force it to propagate through store distribution chains slower, as stores do not place urgency on getting product on shelves after release. Before, sending all the product upfront allowed scalpers to buy it out quickly.
