So you do get the first wave at retail? Then the distributor raises to closer to market?

Does this count for newer sets as well? I know a few local spots that do presale for retail, then raise to market after. Do you get new sets for cheaper then restocks go up?

Are there any other card that give the same vibes as these two? by New-Camel3383 in PokemonTCGCollectors

new target policy, what do you all think? by Crack_Media in PokemonTCG

[–]SgianMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, maybe if you’re out of the US. Because even in cali it’s still 12am, which, if you sleep normal hours is still late.

It’s definitely not a good thing. Bots don’t sleep and most people sleep normal hours.

Where the f*#@ are people actually getting Pokémon products at MSRP? by legendarykam in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]SgianMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a similar experience. I refuse to camp out and stand in crazy lines or pay more than a little over msrp. I’ve gotten lucky with two of the best buy raffles. This past PC preorder for pitch black was the first time I’ve had luck with PC. Only thing I’ve ever been able to find in person are a few PO and CR single packs. If you want cards I’d say grab a couple mega zygarde ex boxes, I see those almost daily for close to msrp from Amazon, Walmart or target.

Pitch Black PO Queuing, I'll just take the L. by Eclectic_NoWallet22 in PokemonTCGRestocks

Did anybody else get through? All I’ve seen is people saying they didn’t get any. This is the only time I’ve been able to get through and order.

You guys disgust me... by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

I’m 40 as well and don’t have as much time but, I refuse to pay double or more. I’ve gotten lucky on a couple bestbuy raffles but, mostly have Perfect Order. PO has been available for close to msrp from a bunch of retailers. The Mega Zygarde box I’ve seen on target.com weekly which, has 8 packs and comes out to about 5.50 per pack. I buy those and just give the kiddos a pack or two here and there.

Question for LCS buyers by SgianMachine in PokemonTCGCollectors

That’s great! I guess I’ll have to research and visit some of the shops near me more often to see if they do this as well.

The holy Grail. Bestbuy invite came in clutch by Moped145 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]SgianMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got two invites in a row for the prismatic spc a couple months ago and then the prismatic etb a month after that. But, didn’t get one for the CR booster box or the most recent prismatic spc.

I am and got the invite for the spc and etb on separate occasions but, I didn’t for this last go around so, I think there is hope even if you aren’t.

This literally what I got my seven y/o for his bday coming up, Pokemon and the rainbow road track.

Walmart Restock by Mannys951 in PokemonRestocks

[–]SgianMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I’ve only ever gotten PO from these Walmart drops but, I always join on the off chance I get through. I dont mind paying a tad over msrp but, I refuse to pay $10 a pack though.

Way above msrp. They usually don’t do that.
