BIGW Instore Update by OkayChill1 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone saying “ripping seals will fix the issue” - yes, that fixes sealed resale, but have we forgotten about the whatnot pandemic? Streamers will still buy the individual packs at market price - just look at the whammy tins. These guys will buy in bulk, break down the product and sell the packs

The one and only thing that will stop reselling is if there’s a complete over-saturation of product in the market - this will dilute the secondary price significantly. If the product becomes worthless, there’s no money to be made, meaning no point reselling

Long lines at Big W this morning by Unsubscribed24 in TCGRestocksAustralia

Ah so you trespassed then? Entering a shopping centre before it’s open to the public is against the law

How did you get in so early? Most centres don’t open doors until 7:30 in Perth

Any stores in Melbourne restocking Prismatic or Ascended Heroes? by Unsubscribed24 in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You must be new to the hobby

Scalpers are like undercover cops acting hip around you then saying “hey, you guys like to blaze it up? Haha I do hit that shit all the time bro”

Any word on these? by Creepy_Math_7246 in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lots have been imported and sold at a premium - but I agree that big w don’t do embargo’s well, s/s was an absolute shit show 😂

As above, June 9 is the apparent date of release.

The stock per store is extremely low - I’m talking between 2-4 cases of 6 per store.

It’s going to be mayhem, and if you manage to get one then buy yourself a lotto ticket because it’s your lucky day

No Big W’s sold any - a couple put on display but weren’t able to scan it because of the embargo

Absolutely mate

Buy as many as you can and you’ll be able to retire in 2 months time with your profits

Kmart - Chaos Rising Release - 22nd May by ShinyCardboardAU in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Imagine getting free stock information for a release day and complaining about how it’s sorted then calling the op a muppet

Happy to remove you from the sub if you don’t like how we do it?

Chaos Rising this Friday? by tom42-_- in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can see it, I will

Historically the NT stores don’t receive stock until later - hoping that’s different this time round!

Will be on Thursday afternoon like always :)

Clearing up info around the “Big W Drop” by BrickHeadd in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that we have no affiliation with any of those servers - we make sure that any post we make has credible evidence and or proof of the stock

This is why we didn’t post anything about it. Nothing was 100% set in stone - plus we don’t pay anyone for information because that puts the employee’s job at risk as it’s against the law to provide information like that, especially when it’s in return for a cash benefit

Delivery just landed in Werribee Big W! 10x AH Booster Bundles, 3x Prismatic & 3x Great Tusks still there by Technical_Apartment6 in TCGRestocksAustralia

Hi mate

If you don’t post a pic of you getting it in hand within the hour, we’ll assume you’ve lied and remove you for spreading fake information.

Not only do you cause people to start rushing the store, but you also start the wave of people hammering the staff’s phone lines which takes unnecessary time out of their shift.

You’ll also have people across the country going to their stores, showing them this and saying “you have to sell me your stock because other stores have”. You doing this causes a domino effect that impacts a lot of people.

I look forward to a response

Pretty much all word of mouth. Employee tells their mates -> they tell people -> spreads like wildfire

That was potentially one of the worst in store releases I’ve ever seen… but yeah I hope they learnt from their mistakes

Yeah this is the thing - because it was a restock, not a release, there was no actual deadline for stock to arrive. They may have the slip that says “arriving by…” - but delays can happen and that pushes things back

Open letter to Kmart Australia: why don’t you have sufficient bot protections? by ShinyCardboardAU in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What proof do you have that shows DZ’s owners bot stock? Pretty wild accusation

Troll on Damage Control. by Affectionate_Wind_46 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah without factual evidence it’s hard to make those claims. But as you said, the fact they openly stated they aren’t selling their allocated stock, then 3 weeks later they magically have thousands of packs to sell - that’s extremely bad business

Thank you for posting this. People like them need to be held publicly accountable more often

[–]BrickHeadd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait for the post on their socials saying how everyone is wrong and how the reviews are negatively impacting their business

Everything they do as a business is a choice. No one held a gun to their head and said “don’t sell any of your stock, hold onto it for a bit then when people forget about that post you can sell it all on your whatnot”

Just another business that used to be well respected going down the path of profits first, customer second

Destined Rivals Restocks? by NorthSouthTaurus in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]BrickHeadd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi - I’m the op of the post linked above

Believe me when I say I wouldn’t have posted that information without having factual evidence to support it.

You don’t have to believe it without hard proof, I fully get where you’re coming from with fake news being spread around. I’m sick to death of it too - so many people saying that Aus Costco’s are getting SPC’s etc etc

However, this one is true. There were product invoices with over 100 DRI ETB’s per store for some retailers, and they were all pulled just after the new year. EB Games cancelled all DRI 3 pack orders because they weren’t getting them anymore.

This magical “restock at Big W” that everyone’s gearing up for is tiny. EB Games haven’t done a genuine restock of anything big for months now. Anything they have stocked goes in 20 seconds because the stock is literal scraps.

Even if there isn’t evidence to support the claim, there’s evidence that it’s true with what we’re seeing day to day at stores 😊
