“Journey Together” Enhanced Booster Box Availability in the Americas and Europe
As posted two weeks ago, Journey Together will feature an “Enhanced Booster Box” that comes with an N’s Reshiram promo inside. The card will feature a Journey Together stamp. (No listing mentions the stamp, but the set’s official press release says the card will have it.)
Only the Enhanced Booster Box will be available in the Americas. This is whether you purchase a booster box from GameStop, Best Buy, an LGS, the U.S. and Canadian Pokemon Centers, or a distributor. We know this because it’s the only version of the box listed on the set’s official sell sheet.
Europe has their own printing plants and has decided to do things differently. In European countries, there will be two Journey Together booster boxes available: a regular booster box without the promo and the Enhanced Booster Box. The set’s official sell sheet lists both versions.
The Enhanced Booster Box will only be available at select retailers. So far, this includes Play! Pokemon stores that run Pokemon Leagues and the UK’s Pokemon Center website.
In the UK, Play! Pokemon stores holding prerelease events will receive just two cases of the enhanced versions. If you’re not a Play! Pokemon store but have been purchasing major Pokemon releases from distributors over the last year, you’ll receive one case. Otherwise, your orders will be fulfilled with the regular version. This means the majority of boxes available at Play! Pokemon stores will only be the regular version.
Other European stores will only carry the regular booster boxes.
