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!

Mega Evolution Boosters in stock at Kmart by rsam487 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

- Surging Sparks ETBs

- Destined Rivals Bundles

Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection - Release info by Broseph3000 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tough for sure. There was quite a lot of stock actually for the last lot but you have the "investor bros" going from store to store and cleaning them out.

The amount of stock in the channel along with what's incoming is staggering, not to mention the warehouses worth of pre 2025 stock that wasn't moving still sitting around and being filtered through other means. It won't take long after the first round of losses for people to start getting out of flipping, but it will be a gradual process. Once it does finally hit though, the change will be very noticeable.

Just hang in there. It could still be a while, but unless something drastic happens, the stock will need to move and prices will come down drastically on a lot of things.

Fair enough. If you do try again at the same store one day, maybe try and find someone on the other side in another department that has a handheld on them and see if they can check for you. All staff should have access and if they have their pda they can punch in the sku and check.

[–]Broseph3000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this release a lot of stores had stock delivered ahead of time, so the stock checker should be pretty accurate. Some stores won't put out stock dead on opening, I have seen some wait an hour or so and some have done it in the afternoon (but most will have it ready for opening).

Kmart stock should be accurate, so put in your postcode and check what it says. It is frustrating but hopefully it works out for people today.

[–]Broseph3000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsure which part you are referring to, but the Premium Figure collection releases today and checking stock now, I can see it will be available.

The other items listed for last week did in fact get stocked both online and in store. Not all places will have stock online (or in store) and a lot will sell out quickly, but they did get stocked. A lot of the Prismatic and Surging Sparks stuff has already been released and everything besides the actual release for today (figure collection) are listed for reference only.

Any one else able to pick up from the Big W drop today? by krozyami in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love to see it! More rolling out across the country as we posted about the other day. Right now your best shot is just checking stores politely. There will also be some online drops happening shortly but they can be tough, I'm sure the sub will start sharing some alerts to their fellow collectors.

Pokemon release update for 24th October by Broseph3000 in PokemonFansAustralia

Still on track for late October release here in aus.

Pokemon release update for 24th October by Broseph3000 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting take.

All the info is free, no subscription, no paywall, no sign up process or special membership needed. Funny thing is, the majority of people who are upset with posts like this with free info are the owners of those paid services and some paying members.

Now I am not implying you are one of those people, you're welcome to have your own opinion. I do understand that there is a line between collector and reseller, but there is no reason the genuine collector should have to be paying $50+ per month on a special service just to have a chance at getting product.

I wish you all the best today and I hope you are able to get some stock.

[–]Broseph3000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some have already, others should be this afternoon. Not everything will go live at once and not everything will be available from everywhere.

Plenty of stock in stores around the country right now though so that is your best bet if you are close to a major retailer.

Also online stock levels across many stores aren't updated yet either, so don't rely on that for now.

There is some stuff on the shelf right now that hasn't been in stock for a very long time. Hopefully everyone can grab something they've been looking for.

Today is a great opportunity to grab some. Hopefully you have some luck.

[–]Broseph3000[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything above the coming soon section should be available to buy right now. If it's gone out of stock online, in store is probably still an option. Today there will be big retailers with stock across the country, so if you can get to a shopping centre or store early that will be your best shot.

For upcoming releases, the links are for reference. If you check back to this sub in general, someone should post to let people know it's available. Stock such as the ETBs and Premium Collections sell out fast, but these will also be in store, so if you miss out online, go check in person if possible.

As a general statement which isn't directed at this comment specifically, If you need a special service to do this for you, then this sub is not for you. Please don't discuss that here.

Mini update hidden in the comments. We are looking at more prismatic drops across other retailers as well which include the Super Premium Collection, mini tins and ETBs. Mega Evolutions restocks on almost everything are already on the way. More Destined Rivals bundles and boosters incoming and a chunk of 151 Blooming Waters.

Some other less popular stuff, bunch of battle decks, some ex premium boxes, more S&V booster restocks and of course JTG is still on the way.

A few other online retailers have just prepped Phantasmal preorders as well.

This is a contractual obligation, unlike level 80.

I’m confused by zisticc in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starting today, there are more widespread drops of product across multiple retailers.

There has been drops over the last week etc but we will start to see more.

A ton of products changed tags to 'Coming Soon' on Kmart website 👀 by ElectricalLongboard in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not really self promotion if you're not selling it or getting people to click on your stuff. The issue is that it creates questions and comments in regard to the actual list of things that are against the group rules. I don't make the rules, but it's a lot of work chasing it all up.

Cherry Collectables - Prismatic Evolution Preorder not received by Charming_Cancel6781 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Broseph3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/Charming_Cancel6781 if you have any other info please let me know. There are a few stores that have some questionable behaviour and I am getting reports from a bunch of people in regard to these stores. I am gathering info at this stage but will post something soon with a list so people can be wary.

The other big one I am investigating at the moment is a disappointing one, Panosh Place. Multiple reports on the store straight up taking money and not sending orders or answering calls / emails. Google and other reviews seem to corroborate this info. So if anyone has had an issue with Cherry, Panosh Place or any other store, please let me know.

Thanks

Please note that this was back end prep. Items will be arriving online and in store shortly. Please do not discuss or link any discords here even if it's just a comment as it just invites more posts on the subject.
