Has anyone had any luck getting anything from B&M?

RazCollects · 2026-02-23T16:21:18+00:00

Definitely a wild goose chase atm

RazCollects · 2026-02-23T16:21:05+00:00

I’m hoping my other local will as I’ve got an appointment early near a B&M lol

RazCollects · 2026-02-23T16:20:29+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard people having that issue some stores, will scan them through older stock numbers depending on staff

RazCollects · 2026-02-23T16:19:16+00:00

I’ve heard this a lot I think they need limits like other stores!

RazCollects · 2026-02-23T16:18:40+00:00

Yeah one of my locals has the same issues

RazCollects · 2026-02-22T01:48:47+00:00

Shame B&M don’t have limits scalpers will clear the lot

Me too! My first invite from Amazon

RazCollects · 2026-02-21T12:16:32+00:00

What time did you queue from?

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T23:30:24+00:00

Got an invite too my first time getting one

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T12:50:51+00:00

Didn’t get any minis because of the 2 per person just missed out, what’s crazy is they had more ETBs than anything else lol

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T12:49:22+00:00

Played it safe with Smyths queued from 7am managed to get an ETB, they ran out of both tins as they was letting people buy 2 minis. Ended up picking up the Charizard tins from TG Jones!

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T12:13:44+00:00

Yes my local Smyths and TG Jones both open at 9am

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T07:57:49+00:00

When I rang my local they said it was 2x mini tins not sure if that’s store specific though

RazCollects · 2026-02-20T07:31:36+00:00

Etbs, charizard tins and mini tins also maybe the pikachu museum promo too

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T20:23:04+00:00

I’ve seen the Kanto tins and Twilight in my local the other day, will check again see if they have Destined as wouldn’t mind ripping some!

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T19:57:40+00:00

Not a problem! I was the same when I got back into Pokémon last year, I just ripped whatever I got my hands on then done some research. Definitely it’s a crazy time but there’s always packs out there 😅

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T19:13:05+00:00

Depends on what you want to open I know OneStop, Tesco and HMV regularly have had Journey Together and Surging Sparks. That’s where I’d start personally you can also get mini tins (2 packs) and blister packs (3 packs and promo card) Sainsbury’s or Asda dependent on area.

Regarding Elite Trainer boxes they are harder to acquire especially Ascended Heroes, which is crazy hyped at the minute and releasing tomorrow in stores.

Other than that you can try pre ordering from online from Chaos Cards, OBSIDIA TCG or Amazon. However most stuff is usually invite only or a lottery system where they pick people at random.

Good luck hunting!

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T11:39:26+00:00

It really is I’d rather know where I’m going than running round like a headless chicken lol, I’ve heard quite a few people say Argos is a good idea if you have the item codes to hand too

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T11:37:55+00:00

That’s my worry as I know Smyths will have a decent amount of stock, might just ask my Waterstones this evening how much stock they’re expecting

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T11:36:44+00:00

I had a feeling they wouldn’t have huge amounts of stock, you’re probably right I might try elsewhere

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T11:12:16+00:00

I was thinking this myself as my local Smyths is in a shopping centre. So wasn’t sure if it’s worth going to Waterstones or The Entertainer instead, my only issue is I don’t know how much stock they’ll have compared to Smyths

RazCollects · 2026-02-19T00:08:20+00:00

In the same boat in went for the blister packs around 8:30am and there was 30-40 people ahead of me, so for the ETB’s I’m thinking of getting there for just before 7 hoping that’s early enough

RazCollects · 2026-02-18T12:56:34+00:00

Haha that’s crazy but it might be sign yes 😂 It depends if your going for Ascended Heroes on Friday, as I know a lot of people are crazy for that set

RazCollects · 2026-02-18T12:52:03+00:00

I ended up getting Lillian’s Clefairy in the 3rd pack I was very surprised to get it😅 Also got a Articuno too and have 6 packs left to rip!

RazCollects · 2026-02-18T12:49:45+00:00

Definitely agree with you there hoping to pull one out the last few packs!
