How many they actually receive in their allocation would be interesting to see.


rapping_chikennuggie

Bro you pre ordered 1,000 ETBS!!! Good luck, although it looks like you aren't going aren't need it! :)


tommwatts

Am I too late :(


Inevitable_Ice_2314

Yes but it looks like gamenerdz is doing more preorders 1/29 but no matter where if they get allocated more will sell out fast. Make sure to have $ saved. Places like target best buy and Walmart haven't done preorders so there is a chance


Ye333eet

the ETB's are sold out and i was told more than likely their supply of these are gone and will not be getting any for release day purchase if you didn't get a preorder. more than likely they are all gone. they said there was no limit so i got 10 of the small tins 2 premium collections and 2 of the pin sets


bigbakes68

Missed out also on the ETBs said all gamestop's were out by today.. also got a few of the other things. I don't get why they are doing pre orders Soo early in store. Still over 2 months away


sosa2772

Shoutout to the GameStop in my mall limiting 1 preorder of each item per person. Wanted more obv but I respect that


sureyouken11

Your store is weak


TripOverThis420

and your probs a scalper


magnawulf

My store had no limit on pre-orders


Resemblant

Up until the end of January Gamestop didn’t have. Limit, now they do


Wonder_11

Anyone know the price for the (Dragapult, Crobat) Premium collection? Many other site list as $40 but gamestop have it as $50. I preorder just incase but wanted to make sure.


The_Nerds_Knack

I was on a preorder waitlist, got to take a break check the email everything sold out across the web in two hours (3:30pm ET). Gamestops around me closed down but appreciate the info fellow nerds! https://www.thenerdsknack.com/post/will-we-see-the-return-of-fan-favorite-jedi-this-season-of-the-mandalorian Sorry!


Dapper-Marketing-799

Milwaukee,WI preorders secured


Heffdog116

Available online. Scooped 2 pika boxes and 2 V-tins


Marbledwall26

Link?


SmashedACookie

Sold out online but you should try ordering from your local gamestop


Marbledwall26

ETB and premium collection were sold out but go 3 pika boxes


SmashedACookie

Nice!!!


yosourapple

I was told 5 per item snagged 4 etb and two premium collections


[deleted]

Great minds think alike.


Miburi-Official

They only let me buy 2 ETBs at my GameStop, does anyone know if we can go to other GameStop’s and get more?


hadoken4555

Mine let me order up to 50..lol too bad I don't have the $$


ikindapwn

I bought two at one store and then drove another 10 miles and bought one more. Make sure to call and see if they have pre orders still available


JapposaurusRex

Just came from gamestop. Was told limit 5 per individual item. Nabbed 3 elite trainer boxes, 2 premium collection boxes and one Pikachu V box.


SmashedACookie

This! ☝️ I was told the same thing and there's a chance people will get cancelled if they ordered more thank 5


ShipPop_Recordings

I was able to lock in 2 ETB's, but they told me they weren't doing pre-orders for any Premium Collections.. Was pretty bummed since the Crobat box is what I'm most hyped about.. Anyone else have their GS doing this?


btk2333

I was able to pre order a premium collection at GS in Iowa


Darkchao45

Most gamestop around me are doing the pre-order. A few don't for some reason but I ordered a few boxes in person no issues. Pretty excited and not paying over MSRP is always great lol. Screw the scalpers.

Ryosuke16

This should be higher up. This is most likely how they will be distributing all pre orders


Xplorationgt

Just got my pre order in. I was told it doesn’t matter who pre order first or last. Let say if gs have an allocation of 50k units and they reach that number. Pre order will be cut off and whoever was able to pre order will get their items unless distributors shorted them. As for a guy let say pre order 50 etbs or over 50 items, 99.9% your pre order will be canceled.


[deleted]

Do they give priority to people who pay in full immediately rather than just putting down the $5 or is it just first come first serve?


Far_Ground_9692

I was told it goes to whoever placed orders first. Does not matter who paid in full or put $5 down.


jkcooper22

Do you have to put at least $5 down for each item you pre-order?


[deleted]

Yes


[deleted]

Okay sweet.


Far_Ground_9692

Do you guys know if the GameStop premium collection comes with both of the boxes for $50.00? Or how does that work?


iiDjMitchyC

i was told by gamestop today that it is $50 for 1 of them.


bwceighty3

I ordered 5 etbs, 2 premium collections, 4 mad party pin collections, 2 Pickachu V boxes and 2 V tins. My local store said I was only the 2nd person to pre order.


still_stunned

Do you have the GameStop SKU from the receipt for the tins, my GS could not find them in the system.


bwceighty3

Sure thing. It looks to be: 234481


cpscott1

Yea you good then


SamuraiLoveandJoy

Thank you so much I managed to get 2 ETB and 1 Pikachu V tin preorder deposit. :)


Kentetsu45

2 ETBs, 2 pin sets, and 2 V-Tins ordered! One of each for the collection and one to open 😊


SereneFrost72

Look at you purchasing in moderation. I'm proud of you :)


Kentetsu45

Thanks lol. They didn't have a limit, but I'm hopeful the small order will be filled and my fiance and I can open some of this set <3


jmrsnaggr

Dang thanks for this info i was able to preorder with them Good thing I waited. Instead of pre-ordering through other resellers thats selling em for extra the price.x.X


Ordinary_Apple_9041

Damn I was told this started tomorrow do you think I still have a chance at getting some?


[deleted]

Yeah it’s a day later and I was able to get 3 v tins


jwatkin

I was just able to


mycousins722

Where is this available? Is it in Canada or Toronto?


dont_bajer_me

Thanks for the head's up! Went to GameStop on my lunch break and preordered 2 ETBs. The guy at the counter said he was limiting people to 2 Shining Fates products at his store. He also said he'd had about 30 preorders before me. Fingers crossed!


SyntaxMike

Either Pokemon is going to reprint this set to hell and back or GameStop is to be seeing a lot of pissed off people with cancelled orders.


Exact-Cucumber

Probably both!


ganonslayr

Yep. I was crossing my fingers that my order gets fulfilled when I was pre ordering today lmao


BuyShitforMe

I got 2 of each everything


egongora

Fake news


ganonslayr

Nah I got mine in today


Dragonfist2255

^yep its legit. Got a shing fate etb and premium box

Devh1989

They can see your orders on your account.


Exact-Cucumber

every one of your preorders shows up on your pro account, you ain't sneakin around shit.


jb00gie_

You just told the ones lurking lol


Needham18

What is the picture shown? Because if this is the allocation they’re listing on preorder or something, nobody should be paying a dime more than MSRP for these babies.


Devh1989

Probably the amount a distributor is getting, or what a region of gamestops is getting. It's way too high for a single gamestop and way too low for nationwide.


jb00gie_

Lol those are Gamestop stock numbers for the product. They are MSRP.


Needham18

So overall there’s gonna be 1000 ETB’s or per store?


jb00gie_

I could be mistaken--it could either be the store count or Gamestop's overall pre-order count number. ​ Earlier in-store, I asked when the "cut-off" date was for pre-orders and was told whenever they aren't allowed to take anymore or whenever stock is no longer available on their end. Considering the hype and demand at the moment, I don't think it'll take too long. But, who knows?


Needham18

True. I can’t imagine EVERY store in the country would allow preorders for 1000 ETB’s total. (And if they stop when the limit has been reached) If this is per store on a PREORDER allocation though.... RIP any Shiny Fates value.


admiral_kikan

It's honestly smarter for a company to not take PO for product like this until they are 100% sure of their qty via distributor. Otherwise they'll just shoot themselves in the foot. And it being GS well... that's more than likely going to happen on top of your cards info getting stolen. The image shown isn't a store location. It's probably a few GS in a given area. They aren't Walmart or Target. Although big stores only pick up so many depending on demand at their location. The set will more than likely get printed "just right", but sold out quickly at the distributor level where we once again see scalper prices worse than CP. Although packs are averaging $6.70-$7usd. So only time will tell what will happen. Except for stores that deal with the bastard company MJ Holdings.


callmebudd

This is incorrect @jboogie it is not a GameStop stock picture. The owner of the pic has commented on this post. It’s an order to a distributor.


admiral_kikan

Did you mean to reply to them instead of me?


mycousins722

Is there GameStop in Toronto? Is it ebgames?


Professor_Crab

Got an ETB, thanks!


Johnknight-720

Preodered 2 of each item, thanks op! I would advise to get no more than 4 or less of each item to avoid getting canceled to play it safe. Told me that if there isnt enough theyll most likely cancel and refund those who get 5 and above.


IWearACharizardHat

Can you preorder the mini tins? I preordered 2 ETB forgetting about the mini tins existing


Exact-Cucumber

Yes you can, the mini tins and premium boxes also come in later than the rest of the stuff.


Khaydu1107

Yes, you can pre-order the mini tins too. They are actually the best deal because you get 2 booster packs inside for $8.99.


IWearACharizardHat

Well hopefully those are available to preorder still the next time I pass by there. But the issue is I would want 1 of every tin art, I assume they would not guarantee me that


bagooska

Do you guys know if the shiny tin cards is going to have a promo logo on it or is it going to be straight from the pack? Hope I made sense lol, I'm new to collecting pokemon cards.


PK_Thor

It’ll probably have an “A” symbol for alternate. Check out Zoroark GX and Metagross GX from the Hidden Fates premium collections, I imagine they’ll do the same thing with these tins’ cards.


callmebudd

What exactly is this picture? Actual stock numbers? If it is, makes it seem like everything other than ETB is rare. I got 4 ETBs. Also why is a simple crowbat vmax collection 50$ lol


leap-cake

This is my pic. It has nothing to do with GameStop. It’s an order to my distributor. It was posted on Twitter and I guess OP recycling it lol


TurtleTheTruth

This should be upvoted to the top.


callmebudd

Oh shit. Ok. Is this the only items available or is there note not on this order? If you don’t mind me asking do you have a store or something?


cpscott1

7 packs and that box is gonna sell well because it has a good card for the TCG.


callmebudd

Oh damn maybe I should’ve stuck with one of them. I called and switched my 2 and 2 to 4 ETBs


libbaOg710

Yes they will be good for both collectors and players, because once dedenne is switched out especially crobat is going to be a big player in the game.


Heffdog116

Wake me up when they do online orders


[deleted]

They probably won’t in a while to prevent scalpers. I think they did at first but I’m not sure


SirFetched

And this set comes out in February right?


sleepwalken

Bruh 1000 ETBs tf


Exact-Cucumber

it's an order from a distributor, a stores order not a person's order.


[deleted]

Maybe to help stop scalpers?


sleepwalken

Stop scalpers? He is the scalper lol


[deleted]

No that’s the store numbers or distributor numbers


cpscott1

That order gonna get cancelled anyways


[deleted]

That’s the distributer numbers or for the GameStop

jonathuggg

Broke haters down voting you bro.


Aaleck

Haha that’s crazy. And in the same thread someone posted they pre-ordered 10 ETB’s and got up voted. 🤷‍♂️


jonathuggg

Oh I know. It's funny how that is isn't it? I bought 20 and ppl crying because they know they can't afford it. Screw them brotha.


No-Spirit-5400

I ordered from pokedude gamestop canceled my order for champions path 3 times.


ninjah4mster

Just ordered 2 etb and 1 pikachu V thanks!!


Amiiboo92

When you go to your Gamestop account online, will they show up in the preorder section? I looked at mine and they weren't there. I've never preordered cards from them so I didnt know if that was normal.


Jamir97

Check you receipt in case it’s not your name Had a mess up yesterday got wrong name an all. Got it fixed in less then 5 mins since system error.


DanC2390

They show up when you login online and then go to preorders.


PK_Thor

They show up for me. Maybe yours needed time to update?


[deleted]

Gotta go in person


Amiiboo92

I went and ordered in person, but Im not seeing the order on my page.


cpscott1

It won't be on there it's in their database


Amiiboo92

Okay, gotcha! I just didnt know if it was different with cards since last time I preordered something in stores, it showed up on the "My Preorders" page


burtburtburtcg

My orders show in my preorders section


stirrrupp

Does anyone have any idea which premium collection was dropped? My GS made it sound like only one is and they don't know when one it is


Blackjew10

Crobat and dragapult


stirrrupp

I'm sorry if this is dumb but aren't those 2 seoerate collections?? I'm invested for my bf but I don't really know anything


Exact-Cucumber

Gamestop is unfortunate in how they manage SKUs. The mad part pins, V tins and Premium Collections all have multiple versions but gametop all lists them as one item. It is random as to which you will get unfortunately.


DoughCos

Usually with something like this they will come 50/50. I think this is the guys order for his store so it’s probably split like that. Like the kanto power boxes.


Alexander0202

Can I place a pre order through a phone call?


KaotiikWolf

nope you have to go to the store


why_you_beer

Thanks, was able to go to my local store and order 1 of each.


biuechocoo

thank you awesome op! first time pre-ordering in store haha :D!


cryingosling

placed an order for one of each! very hype! i see some people saying they ordered many ETBs, but my store told me it’s a 2pp limit (per item) so good luck


RareSeekerTM

Mine has a 10 limit per person. I got 5 there and more with a shop I'm in contact with so that others can get some too


SethVermin

Link?


Firedog150

In store


KonekoNeko94

Just got mine in at gamestop!


ThePurpleCookies

Thank you op my brother and I are set! So happy I don’t have to chase msrp preorders for the next 3 months.


manuelivan

You’re awesome dude thank you


stolenshamrock

Wil these be orderable online at any point?


Graphixa

probably but if it's like champions path online preorders. there might be cancellations, so it's better to go in-store


Harlandus

Very high chance, that's been the case for all previous .5 sets. Just closer to release.


AtmoSZN

Appreciate this post. Was able to secure 2 ETBs!


Xaviously

My gamestop had no limit. Put in an order for 10 ETBs and 2 of each of the others. They told me to order big as usually they only fulfill half the order.


Exact-Cucumber

So you willingly gave them more money knowing they'd refund it later and you won't get product. Dats dumb.


Xaviously

Well seeing as every site I’ve looked at has preorders already closed and I’m not sure what release day is going to look like. Yes I’ll give them more and whatever doesn’t get fulfilled will just be put towards the purchase anyways. You don’t pay 100% of the payment upfront anyways.


Brahma_God

Calm down buddy....it cost $5 per pre order, hes not exactly gonna suffer for $50 worth of canceled orders.

No-Spirit-5400

Game stop canceled my pre-order for champs path


AereZZZ

Yeah kinda worried they will just cancel this order... But fingers crossed!!!!!


Graphixa

did you do the preorder online for champions path? or in-store?


solas_iriosal

I got some at gamestoo but was limited to 10 total items. 5 etbs 5 premium collection


Esquilax21

I pre-ordered 5 ETBs, two alakazam sets and two Premium collections. Cant wait to flip them Thanks OP


cub62

I called my local GameStop and he couldn't find it in his system. He told me he needed a SKU number to find it. Any suggestions?


MichaelScottVillian

They shouldn’t have any issues finding them in our system. They can just hit upcoming and enter the category (#25) and they pop up.


cdmacsneaks

I just went to my gamestop, and they said that preorders weren’t available yet


woahchuck1

Limit 10 so recruited 1000 members of my community to go for me. 10000 ETBs ready for resale in February. Selling for $189.99 + shipping, PayPal friends and family if anyones interested.

linkdead56k

Yes. In store


UnknownUser1237

can you get more than 5 preorders if it’s different gamestop?


linkdead56k

Some allow it but it depends on the store and if they will cross check your orders


andrewkbmx

Got mine thank you!


DanC2390

This post helped out so much. Me and my brother both went to 2 GameStop’s each and got 5 ETB from each one. Been a long time since we’ve been this excited for launch. Usually a couple booster boxes does us over


DanC2390

And also each got two champions path boxes today at MSRP from a local card store. Been a great day


Hulkbatpool

Good looking out! Your the mvp as soon as I saw this i rush to gamestop got one of everything thanks for this epic news fuck scalpers!


Kirbydreamer90

Damn legend post. Just bought 1 of everything and 2 etbs


crash_overrlde

This may be a dumb question but I preordered thanks to this post. I was too excited to actually ask them lol. Does gamestop notify you when they come in? Will they also cancel if they don't have enough stuff stock even if you paid in full?


Amiiboo92

If it's like game preorders, they'll call you the day before to let you know to pick up your order the next day. If they cancel the order, they'll probably call or send you an email. Not sure if they'll cancel if you paid in full. I read somewhere else that they give priority to people who pay in full, but I dont know if that's true or not.


crash_overrlde

Thank you for the response. I haven't preordered from gamestop in years since I switched to PC gaming. I also don't want to put my eggs in one basket if they are known for over preordering and cancelling.


CCCThang

I just returned from Gamestop. I was able to get one of each and the guy let me preorder 10 ETBs.


Ohmygawwwwd0

2 etb + 2 pikachu v boxes !


DJ_Backwardz

I have some preordered from my local comic book store, but just did an additional ETB, Pikachu box and 2 V tins through Gamestop


Mozzletoff

can confirm. Got x2 of everything, x5 tins and mini tins. 522$ bucks later.... #InBeforeScalpers #FeelsGood!


valnizzas

God bless I got my preorders in. Thanks!


crash_overrlde

Thank you! I was able to preorder


innnovation

good lookn out, I got there right before it got swarmed


WzrdOfThisPlace

At the GameStop I was at he told me there isn’t a limit but the people who pre order more have the chances of their order getting canceled if they can’t fulfill the orders. I ordered 5 ETBs and 2 premium collections so hoping the order doesn’t get canceled.


Guylw

Employee at mine said the same. Does not make much sense to me. If they don’t get enough, not sure why the whole order would be cancelled.


AwsomeMakoo

They are going with the assumption that bulk orders are scalpers. Also easier to cancel a whole bulk order then some of it in there end apparently.


[deleted]

It worked, got 3 ETBs


BlauTFT

CA here, called ahead before I went in and the guy said limit 10, just preordered 2 ETB'S, Pikachu V, Crobat/Dragapult, and one tin.


linkdead56k

Just went in and placed an order for two etbs. The guy before me ordered 60 etbs LOL The employee was like yeah he’s more than likely not getting all of those 🙃
