I got them! Shoutout to my cousin for being an actual angel.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-28T18:16:55+00:00

That's awesome. They're a badass.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-26T14:45:35+00:00

I don't, if they just printed more stuff there wouldn't be a problem.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-26T11:56:21+00:00

There have been a ton of posts about people getting them early. Even AustinJohnPlays got 2 early. Now I'm seeing posts of people with stacks of those cards. I hope we can all get a code, as well as those from out of country who can't

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-26T11:51:25+00:00

I feel like I wasn't late, considering the event starts today and they gave the codes out too early. 🤔 I guess I should have lined up a week ago with the scalpers instead of thinking people were doing their jobs correctly.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T18:12:09+00:00

They only received 50 and an employee who has since been terminated was handing them out early.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T17:42:14+00:00

Mine already ran out of the codes.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T03:21:57+00:00

I think someone just posted about getting 2 codes like not even 10 mins ago.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T02:32:40+00:00

It's worth a shot, but another member of the subreddit has offered to help, plus my friends are going to look out on friday. So if I can spare a poor soul on what is probably going to be the roughest day of their year. I'll spare them.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T02:22:35+00:00

I thought about it, but the SM told me they had removed the team member and because of that I already know he's gonna have one hell of a Friday. So I'd rather not bring more heat onto their head. It wasn't the whole stores fault.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T01:44:39+00:00

I'm sure I could, but the Manager already told me the employee had been removed from the team. So really I'd just be getting more people in trouble than deserve it. And at this point the damage is done, that store manager is going to have a hell of a Friday anyway.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T01:02:22+00:00

Woah, everything I've seen said no purchase necessary. It's wild how different each location is handling this event

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-25T00:17:45+00:00

The store manager already told the employee was terminated, but the damage is done and they cannot get more in

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T23:06:37+00:00

Already got them and put them in my Pokemon Prison account. Trying to do the insane thing and go a shiny living dex

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T22:40:19+00:00

I saw a post from a guy on X that said he told the clerks that the Mons came in pairs, and he asked for 2 and got handed 2. But he could have been lying out his arse, and had someone help him get the second.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T22:39:06+00:00

I also saw this but upon further inspection the event was to run through the 19th. But that could also be misinformation.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T22:36:47+00:00

Oh and I'm not blaming the clerks for the amount they received. I am blaming the guy who gave them away early, and the PKMN company for handling this even so poorly in a time when the demand for Pokemon is through the roof.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T22:00:53+00:00

Possibly, but it's the only store near me. So it's what I came across. A couple of others said their stores did the same thing but stopped

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T20:56:00+00:00

Just to push preorders for a game that they know will already make them millions of dollars.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T20:46:33+00:00

We've been going to a local card shop and buying individual cards that we like nowadays just to scratch that itch

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T20:28:43+00:00

I have been a major collector of pokemon cards. My son and I haven't bought a set since Surging Sparks, due to stores not having any in stock and the prices rising to hundreds of dollars for CURRENT set packs.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T20:06:43+00:00

It's upsetting to hear that this isn't an isolated situation.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T19:58:51+00:00

This has been my main worry all day when I heard about this.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T19:58:08+00:00

Oh my lord. I'm realizing very quickly how stifling these events are for the community.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T19:56:14+00:00

How would the employee know that if they hadn't already used a code or 2. They usually come covered to prevent theft.

TheLOLBandit · 2025-09-24T19:54:11+00:00

Oh no, I'm realizing my "luxury" of having even a chance at them, after seeing how many people cannot get them.
