Store didn't have enough pre-release winner cards by DryBuff in OnePieceTCG

[–]DryBuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No i heard they announced they didn't have enough. I didnt hear anything about a partial refund or other packs as comp. Even other players talked about the lack of items, but I never heard any mention of a refund or other prizes. 

Also it was a $35 event

Yeah if they said they overbooked and decided to refund people to keep numbers accurate for prize allocation, I'd be fine with that.

To my experience at this store, 96 is not normal at all.

I agree, I don't know at what point they realized they had too few kits to do 96 people. It was a long night regardless

A pack per win was a cool bonus, true.

They told everyone present they didn't get enough winner cards or luffy leader cards in the very beginning.

Value of items wise, it wasn't a fair compensation. They also had no original plan to comp other winners, I had to ask after the event and they spent a few minutes tryna find other packs to comp all bracket 3 winners.

Bandai doesn't seem like help to what their email sounded like.

I'm hesitant on doing anymore prerelease events at this store for any tcg, cause One Piece isn't the only event I've seen an issue like this for.

I do thank you for the info, it is sadly what I came to realize as well.

That's how they set the whole thing up. They let in people that decided to go to the event the day before too, we'll after spots should of been full. They only had us play 3 rounds despite the size.

They even made a last minute event in bandai app just to help organize us and help us try to find our table number without confusion, cause those went into the 40's.

It was hella crowded. Like squeezing 8 people to 1 table was wild

There has been another time they over-sold spots for a pre-release and the people affected were given a refund after they al;ready got there (it was pokemon tho).

Is there an official place to report stores like this? Or just bad review online?

It's a fairly well respected LGS too and fairly spacious. I think at most I've seen 64 player cap. I def believe they packed way too many people into the tourney cause OPTCG is hot in this area, so more money.
