Just wait to buy the singles once this TCG boom is over. These things always go in cycles. Scalpers will get bored and move on to the next fake stock market.

I’m just tryina browse the site and it’s still down despite everything being sold out!
If we all just wait, be patient, don’t get greedy, and refuse to buy from resellers, WE can kill the scalping, its basic capitalism but nobody will do it, because thats also basic capitalism lol

I was having such a hard time getting onto the website. Just to find that myself like 5 minutes ago.

This hobby is a joke now. Everything is over priced and product is none existent. Can’t even buy singles.

Don’t let the FOMO Win, if you missed out dont pay scalpers prices. Its a bummer but ill just wait to see if I find an ETB in the wild or ill buy the singles I want

i somehow managed to get one (did NOT need two). the site kept crashing and having “maintenance” issues so im incredibly surprised i was even able to preorder. i missed out on the prismatic evolutions preorder because i was too late so i didn’t wanna take any chances this time :/

I’m just complaining but…. What’s the point of a pre order if you can’t scale to meet demand? I guess I wish they would print the next few sets into to oblivion so we can all get a box while screwing over scalpers.

How and where is the best way to submit a complaint to the Pokemon Company lol

Honestly, the set doesn’t really look that good…. A lot of the artwork has been released and they’re underwhelming to say the least (though I thought the same way about surging sparks pikachu…) I think if it was released maybe 6 months ago nobody would have really cared. I think this is something you’d probably find at MSRP at big box retailers like a few months after release. I just dont see it going up tha tmuch

Why do they do pre-orders 1 week before a new set release. Just dumb.
Dude this set doesn’t come out for like 2 and a half months how is it already sold out?

Don’t buy off scalpers!!! This ends when people stop buying off them for double the price 😒

Tell you what, I picked a bad time to get back into collecting.
Only saving grace is living out in the boonies I can find packs and stuff at the Dollar General and Dollar Tree. Out here in the city where I work, we got 3 Walmarts, a Target, 2 Walgreens, 2 Dollar Tree, and a few Dollar Generals and they’re constantly sold out, or just ripped packs/cases on the shelves. For instance, went to Target today, clearly did a restock cause there’s new empties laying around that weren’t there yesterday, and already bare shelves.
Glad I’ve had pretty decent luck with the packs I can get ahold of.

I am getting to a point where I am losing my love for the hobby with how this is all playing out

Keep your chin up brothers and sisters! There will be a bubble, the people that are here for profit and not for fun will lose interest. Pokemon company will print a lot more of what we want and those of us who enjoy the hobby will just have to ride out this wave.

I grew up collecting and playing, I’ve just recently gotten back into the hobby and this genuinely disgust me. The selfishness and gluttony that has transpired around the hobby is ridiculous. People that don’t make a career out of ripping others off are getting the short end of the stick. Something needs to change.
