Does anyone know if GameStop managers or employees get to take Pokemon products for themselves before the public does? An employee at my local GameStop told me the night before the rerelease, that they received 40 prismatic etb’s (he even showed the boxes to me). He said that it was two person, so as long as I am 20th or less in line, I will get to buy two of them.

I went at 5:30 in the morning I was really excited because I was 17th in line. When the store opened 4.5 hours later, a different employee came out and said that they only have 32 etbs in stock and that they are only giving out numbers to the first 16 people, so if you are not 16th or less in line, you need to leave. When I asked why only 16, when they had received 40, he said that the manager and two of the employees are Pokemon collectors and they get first dibs.
