Hmm... well this is an interesting development. Honestly, I still feel that prereleases are better off having a single prerelease promo with staff-stamped versions rather than making the four B&B promos as a substitute for them WHILST also having staff-stamped versions of those same four...

I wouldn’t be surprised if that notice was sent out during Team Up’s prereleases. One of the promos you could get from that set’s B&B boxes was a Roaring Resolve Charizard and I’ve heard rumors that less-trustworthy TOs “hoarded” the *hoot* out of that card and the EVO Charizard Staff Promo when...

I have a feeling that it’s TPCi reacting to the COVID situation and not wanting to spend money on a promotional item that won’t even be available to anyone until things settle down, scalping may be a secondary reason but I’m not optimistic on that. But if I’m being honest I started to hate...

Well that’s depressing but not expected, I do wonder how they’re going to make prereleases worth running/volunteering for in the future If they’re going to discontinue these.

Just got one, I’m kind of surprised that these were still available 8 hours later despite the 50k cap. On the other hand I’m not exactly sure what that means in terms of total player count.

The only issue I see with this is that Pokemon already does this to some extent, Japanese sets follow a similar pattern to this although they do the side set every quarter (and often a month or so after that quarter's main set/sets) as opposed to it being twice a year. As to WHY it's not done...

If buying Funko POPs have taught me anything it's that putting purchase limits is definitely not a foolproof plan, exclusives dropped onto Funko's online store are often bought out in 15-30 minutes and their NYCC lottery was bombarded to heck and back with scalper/reseller shenanigans...

Despite my better judgement I went and ordered some VIV product off of the Pokemon Center site back on Friday, I can only hope it doesn’t get doesn’t get partially canceled but I’m not hopeful.

Eh... I’m not a big fan of the way this one’s been built. But then again the ReshiZard and PikaKrom decks weren’t exactly perfect copies of their respective competitive decks at the time of their release either. It’s unlikely, the Jirachis for the Pikachu & Zekrom League Battle Decks were nonholo.

Oh man, PikaKrom just got a new bling card with that Shiny Boltun V. Shiny Mad Party Dedenne is nice but it suffers the same “almost always in the discard pile” issue as Shiny Exeggcute does. To be fair this was the same for Hidden Fates’ Shiny Vault GXs, expecting the Vs to be any different is...

Eh... I’m still not super-trusting of TCGO-based tournaments so I’ll be bowing out of this. And while this is somewhat minor, I’m also not happy with the lack of physical prizes outside of playmats. I get that we can’t have physical tournaments due to the pandemic but that shouldn’t extend to...

Eh, I can't say I'm that surprised by the bans (especially Shaymin-EX's). Latios-EX decks were a common sight in the TCGO's Expanded ladder and both TrevNoir and Energy Mill were annoying as heck. Bunnelby's a bit trickier since it has less HP than both Sableye and Oranguru (Remember that...

You know what I funny? Despite being “retired” from the TCG for simplicity’s sake the symbols for Dragon and Fairy types are still used in promotional products. You’ll probably have to wait for Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master to drop before we’ll see any card products featuring IoA...

I’ve seen those signs at one of my local Targets but itwas there even before CHP dropped so I’m glad to see that other Targets are following the trend.

I posted that when a Pokémon Center support rep responded to my ticket and said that my Champion’s Path order was canceled due to them running out of stock (despite me ordering ‘em the MINUTE they dropped) but thankfully it was only a partial cancellation. Out of 4 items I only ended up getting...

Well, I just learned something today... NEVER buy a highly anticipated set from Pokemon Center.

I’m seeing some Galarian Sirfech’d V boxes at some of my local Targets but no CHP products, I’m starting to suspect that it’ll all be dropped on Friday due to the dual pin collections dropping that day. Strange, some of the CHP pulls I posted earlier were from products I bought from Barnes &...

The Charizard promo from Team goes for around $30-$35 so this one will probably go for around that.

Ugh, another Charizard promo that’ll be worth boo koo bucks in the resale market. I can only hope that TPCi’s decision to cancel Premier events for the rest of 2020 also means that no staff promos ever see the light of day. That said, none of these outside of Charizard look particularly...

From what I’ve heard GameStop only got enough product to fill in preorders while Targets have been funky with some getting ‘em and other not getting ‘em in on release date due to distributor issues. EDIT (08/28/2020): And I forgot to post some recent Champion’s Path pulls. This is what I pulled...
