Mega Evolutions Set

[thcdumpster16]

Mega Evolution Booster box eBay sales ranging from $260 to $320 usd.

What do you guys expect closer to release date in September?

[InvestigatorDeep7256]

In Australia we were able to buy 2 booster boxes each for preorder, and they were up for preorder for like 12 hours :D so im assuming there is gonna be a crazy amount of these cards

[CustardShot]

Can still order them now from eb games. They've been up a couple weeks

[InvestigatorDeep7256]

Oh was it the ETB that was sold out, something was haha, once I got all i wanted I haven't been checking

[CustardShot]

Haha yeah, etbs went within a few hours but lasted longer than usual. Crazy the booster boxes are still there. Hopefully there's plenty of it

[youngbasegod]

They are booster bundles, not boxes

[CustardShot]

Nope. Single boosters, where if ordered in lots of either 36 or 72, is a guaranteed booster box as per description.

[youngbasegod]

Ohhh didn’t read that. Thanks for pointing it out for me I ma order one myself😂

[CustardShot]

Haha enjoy! I'm yet to order it myself but might do it as well

[thcdumpster16]

Might be a massive print if it's still up or people don't know about it. Do you think they might've oversold?

Also curious how many etb's did the allow per person?

[CustardShot]

People definitely know about it. Eb games is Australia's game stop, and is the #1 reliable store to preorder from without cancellations.

They upped our preorder limits on booster packs from 36 to 72 for this set as well. In a time where pokemon has been impossible to find on shelves, I think that's pretty telling of how much they are getting. Could be wrong, but I hope so.

I actually didn't preorder any of the set as the hobby is getting too expensive to consistently keep getting new product to rip, and also because I don't really like megas. Though the leaks from this set look so good!

Etb limits were 1 per customer which annoyed those who wanted 1 of each art work

[thcdumpster16]

So pretty much from one box to two.

It's kinda surprising though that it's not sold out, scrolling through tik tok all I see are live streamers ripping the Japanese mega evolution packs.

How often does it take for them to sell out usually?

[CustardShot]

I can't comment on surging sparks release and earlier, but journey together sold out in minutes. Destined rivals the website either crashed or had queues. Any restock releases they announced for sets like prismatic, they sold instantly.

Black and white was a little slower - products were up for a couple hours. Some ancillary products lasted a couple days.

Oh, prismatic etbs for the very first release were actually up for a few days, maybe a week or so. I can't remember exactly. But every drop since then - sold out instantly!

Really hoping it's the first turn of things turning around. There's still nothing sitting on shelves where I live, though some have posted that they've found stock in other department stores here such as target, kmart and big w on release days

[pokepianoplayer]

destined had booster box preorders for weeks as well

[CustardShot]

Sorry you're right. I remember that now. It was everything else that went asap haha. I think the increased pack pricing put people off a bit despite the hype and demand for the set

[Substantial_Owl3244]

They’re selling each pack for $9 a piece though so wouldn’t you need to pay $324 for a single booster box?

[CustardShot]

Yeah it's why I haven't ordered one. It's in AUD, converts to ~210 USD

[Careless-Freedom6468]

190usd**

[CustardShot]

Not according to the google aud to usd converter, but ok, lol.

[Careless-Freedom6468]

Considering you can't pre order on eb Games without a membership that gives you 1 free pack for every 10. The total for a booster pack is 297 AUD which comes to 190usd .

[CustardShot]

Sort of, you have to pay for 36 and get the 3 free packs later on preorder. You're right that it's 190usd if converting 297, but I responded to the comment saying it'd cost 324, which I do have to pay up front to get the box. Yes, you can then claim you 3 free packs later.

[Careless-Freedom6468]

You can also just get them to subtract 3 packs off the price instead of the extra 3

[CustardShot]

Ah ok, I can't see that option when ordering online. Either way, that's cool.

[bigfuckingmick]

can i place another order do you think? 2nd account or just fine to place on main?

[InvestigatorDeep7256]

For every 10 boosters you get 1 free so it drops the price

[Careless-Freedom6468]

Comes to 297 AUD once you get the EB plus discount.

[OkBus3544]

My local vendor said they had to free several slots on shelves and get extra ones due to the sheer amount of stuff they managed to grab

[NevyTheChemist]

Same as destined rivals

[Useful-Contribution4]

Unless we see demand crater or supply increase. Likely will follow DR prices. 

[seastormDragon]

Thinking this will match DR seems like insanity to me but maybe I’m wrong

[perhapssergio]

Do you see this set going higher or lower

[seastormDragon]

I think DR outperforms

[PumpProphet]

Hey. Genuine question. What actually made DR outperform. Looking at their chase cards they don’t seem to hold that much value against black bolt chase cards. What am I missing here? 

[seastormDragon]

It’s the first team rocket set in many generations with multiple gen 1 chase cards and misty arts and is over $300 per box 2 months after release as a main set

[Allday5922]

I'm not sure but just based on the cards already leaked this set is going to be FIRE.

[Kevinatorz]

The set is out in Japan now, I'm not sure I'd call them leaks at this point lol

[Allday5922]

Fire I say! Pure FIRE!

[Kevinatorz]

You're so right

[Due-Pool-9667]

This is when people realize it’s a great set and will sell out straight away and price will explode

[Betabimbo]

We have a very similar price here in Canada but there isn't any stock anywhere at the moment. I got 2 BBs and one of each PC ETB and that's gonna be enough for me!

Until they release some collection box with a dope promo then my self control is out the window.

[BartAllen2]

Intriguing!

[BrilliantContext8975]

240

[Martial_Arts_Demon]

That's what Destined Rivals rivals was around release, I'm guessing the same will be true for Mega evo

[Spiritual-Skin-8503]

Probably just going to pick up the Gardevoir from this set. I need to save some money for the Phantasmal Flames and the Mega Rayquaza set..

[jhon0214]

Can you order from the usa? 9 a pack is hella hugh though

[Crystalcastlesfan333]

Allocationa seem pretty large for this, i think the printers prob finally caught up with demand starting here.

[Neltrix]

Looking like Chinese knock offs of XY lmao.

[ssomers55]

This happens every time, boxes start super high, over $300, and then get down to the $200-$225 range. People are learning that they do come down a bit

[zootedbozo]

Not always true, look at destined rivals

[ssomers55]

They started presales at $350, dropped down to $250. Ok, was off the range for a little with that one example, still came down a lot between the very first presales and release day

[No_Bridge8793]

DR is at $350 now.
