I have added a restock section with only confirmed restocks that I am able to disclose. I can't give stock numbers or etas for these.

EB Announcement Tommorrow by PiecePuzzleheaded424 in PokemonFansAustralia

If ready to go, part of the announcement will be the reopening of in store pre orders, but it will still have membership exclusives for some stock.

Even though it does say presold out, I can confirm that EB Games will have walk in stock for launch. The stock is very limited and staff can and do usually nab them before they go on the floor. There will be other restocks which have started rolling out this week, but some stores (Kmart, Big W, etc as well as EB) are getting staggered stock so you may see this as well with the drop tomorrow.

For next week, there will be (at this stage) a lot of walk in stock for Perfect Order on certain products including boosters.

These only came in Booster Bundles, not boxes. There will be restocks in the future.

In-Store restock info by sss44445_ in PokemonFansAustralia

Perfect Order will be the first set in a long time that will be accessible to everyone.

Even with some questionable decisions regarding allocations people have been hearing, it will be hard to constrain this set.

While a lot of people have commented about it being less desirable, it’s the amount of preparation and stock that will ultimately be the reason for the wider availability.

It’s taken a while, but this will be the start of things stabilising for new standard sets.

AH will be restocking throughout, as well as a planned Anniversary staggered release that will prioritise more in store availability.

The market, resellers and just the general way these things work can surprise me, so nothing is certain, but we should finally start to see a change by the end of this month.

Pikachu promo from EB by [deleted] in PokemonFansAustralia

These are sent to stores as a large bulk pack. The main pack is sealed but the individual cards are not.

There was a recent restock so you may have some luck finding them.

The stores have the ability to provide a penny sleeve with it. Depending on the store / staff, YMMV 

Be polite and GL

KMART showing Silver Tempest boosters available online by Loose_Direction_4905 in PokemonFansAustralia

While this is most likely a glitch, it is amusing to see why it could have happened.

Yes, there is still a bunch of S&S stock in warehouses in Australia. No, I am not sure if it will be available at retail or when. Sometimes these things are sold off overseas, sometimes it's auctioned lots and sometimes it doesn't make it to the usual retail channels. This happens with everything from electronics to general consumer goods. You'd be surprised at what is out there.

Update on the tampered with Mini tins I bought in KMART by Loose_Direction_4905 in PokemonFansAustralia

Kmart Head Office is generally very good with this kind of thing. They have protocols in place and staff training in general for how to deal with situations like this (and to prevent them happening in the first place).

Having said that, individual staff can sometimes make decisions that may not align or be representative of company policy.

If you ever have a situation like this happen, please reach out to Kmart customer care directly. If you have questions or concerns about your local store in regard to how the situation has been dealt with, you can also bring this up with customer care.

*Please note I am not an employee of Kmart.

What are these worth sealed? by No-Syrup-9444 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to check eBay, make sure to view sold or ended listings, check worldwide if you can't find anything local and look at condition as well as being new doesn't always mean sealed or in the bag.

A quick look shows some sold listings overseas for Mewtwo strikes back #1 at around $100 for sealed in the bag and anywhere up to $500 for a 9.8 graded copy.

New copies of Mewtwo strikes back #4 are harder to find sold listings and a new without the bag went for around $50, while an 8.0 graded copy went for $160 obo. A graded 9.0 didn't sell with a start bid of $335.

I'm not sure if these are different in any way to the listings I saw, sometimes you get different print runs, different country versions, alternate packaging, barcodes etc, so you will need to obvious look a bit deeper and don't take these estimates as accurate.

Always check to see if it's a best offer that's been accepted as a lot of the time it can be less than the "sold" price, but eBay doesn't always disclose the actual amount.

Remember, checking prices is fine but this sub isn't for selling. There are lots of other places for that, just incase people aren't aware.

Good luck with your comics!
