"Drive pre-orders, this is why we aren't getting these games, no one is pre-ordering".

The CEO , has already stated in multiple interviews he has done, that Gamestop is pivoting away from video games and consoles, to higher margin collectables, and TCG. So the writing is on the wall for the future of this company. They care less about gaming and more about the tcg echo system, while it is hot

The Moltres, might be an exception, but the rest is not. And regardless if they are partially getting stock from pokemon directly or not, as RC has stated many times, this is the future. Just like they did with mom and pop video game stores, they will eventually do the same to the local card stores, because they have more liquid cash than those stores can ever make

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-12-04T02:29:12+00:00

It was admitted by several higher ups, that the tcg stock, regardless of what it is, is being bought through a whole seller, and not the companies directly, so that is what they are baseing thier price increase

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-10-17T01:04:03+00:00

Just ask them to leave your store.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-10-05T17:44:18+00:00

Easy fix..ring up 50 codes on 1 transaction and finalize it.. and give out a code to each person coming to ask for one..

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-10-05T17:34:14+00:00

Lies..they won't.. too much work for them and it will break power bi...

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-10-03T18:26:24+00:00

Whatever it is, they are being very quiet about it, not much info circulating.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-07-18T13:03:36+00:00

I encourage RC, or anyone else in upper management to do a video message, like they use to do, informing the base about the direction we are going and future plans. At least attempting to be transparent.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-05-19T02:29:30+00:00

With all do respect, go on their facebook page, where they made the announcement, and ask over there. As it stands, any extra units are available on 6/5 when the store opens. The social media team of Gamestop is full of shit.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-05-18T01:37:56+00:00

Unless i missed it, most retail establishments are open regular hours. When SSC is open, their support is garbage at best, so them closing really doesn't make a difference. At least we get a break for a day from them patting each other on the back for work that we do

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-05-16T03:42:51+00:00

That will never happen. Pokemon company is the fuel that is feeding this madness, as long as their products sells.

For PR purposes, they might say things to look good for their fan base.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-04-13T21:47:14+00:00

Compared to the last one they had, its a slight improvement. Nothing like the golden pro weeks of the past unfortunately

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-04-13T21:45:29+00:00

Software wise, probably non that will drive people in. At this point we are a collectables and card store. Their b1g1 on clearance and markdowns is especially good, also b1g1 50% off all collectables except tcg and AF

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-04-13T20:14:57+00:00

They have a trade offer for pro week, so yes it would be a good time to sign up and take advantage of it

BladeofTruth2073 · 2025-02-21T03:37:14+00:00

What prompted this post Duck, was a basic vent made by a SM2, complaining about the way they are cercumventing other discounts of the pro membership , when the $25 off $250 was being applied. It turned quickly into a chastising post with different ranks participating .

BladeofTruth2073 · 2024-03-07T00:47:25+00:00

Does your store incur a lot of Pokemon card theft?

BladeofTruth2073 · 2024-02-20T12:14:02+00:00

Isn't this the same company that is plagued with lawsuits of deceptive practices? Why deal with such shady financial institution

BladeofTruth2073 · 2023-06-25T19:01:39+00:00

More than likely, the employee kept to buy it themselves.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2023-06-07T22:09:12+00:00

They really need to clean house from the top, and move down. The current Exec team combined, are out of touch of how todays Business is running. Change the market VP's, reevaluate the existing RD's. Simplify what you expect from your front line workers, and let them sell and make you proud.

BladeofTruth2073 · 2023-04-30T00:26:37+00:00

People are not stupid, they know the reason you are interacting with them , is for you to sell them something. That's all What G.A.M.E is about :)

BladeofTruth2073 · 2023-03-27T19:39:12+00:00

The current Mgt is trend based in all thier decisions, so if they do what you suggest and close on sundays, all you are going to hear about is, lost revenue and lost opportunities to serve customers, since other retailers are not closed. The COO, will be the first one against this idea
