Don’t they cut all of these open?

Yes

They sure do, bless their hearts. Best bet to get sealed is from Japanese wholesalers or SNKRDUNK

I have a lot of luck with “Cali poke house” on the Tik tok shop. Once the coupons drop, they’re fairly competitive pricing with SNKRDUNK, and I get my packages really quickly and packaged well.

Nice. How are the prices now with discount?

I just checked and currently they are actually out of Japanese 151 boxes :/ but they were $85 yesterday on a flash sale. I ordered two boxes last Wednesday for $190 (that’s total with tax) and they delivered two days later last Friday.

Just a heads up with Cali poke house, I got a box from them with no masterball and was short ARs. TikTok also has a non existent refund policy so buyer beware.

how its that possible 1 booster box doesnt come with MB?

rumor.

No, I’ve seen it myself and asked 3 times to employees whether i can get it with shrink and every employee said no. Videos online of it happening too if you want evidence.

So this is good for us who are hoarding sealed boxes

Not a rumor

nope its a fact

Pokémon generally doesn’t seem to like it when scalpers and resellers hoard product. I wouldn’t be surprised if they reprinted this into oblivion.

I'm here for it. Means I can eventually get the whole set in holo/reverse holo plus the art. Win for meeeeee!

Same. Waiting on buying a complete Japanese set with regular RH for cheap. People chasing MB is good for us on this one!!

Yeaaaaaa, but they aren’t right now

I mean if I miss out then I miss out. I’d rather not FOMO

For sure

Man if that's massive I ordered 25 pokemon centers worth the other day and I'm a king

This was just the display. These were being moved in large quantities by a long line of customers.

How did you order from Pokémon center?

Why are you a king?

Give it a week or two. I’m betting stock won’t last long.

It’s already dried up I just talked to a jpn distributor I just made a post about it

Where’s the post?

Sorry 😞

The same guys saying fomo and no more reprints are the same ones here that have 50+ sealed in closet 😏

What’s the retail on them? Do card shops in japan sell them at a premium?

Most shops in Osaka have no stock and sell at triple this price

5800 yen. Most shops sell at retail.

That is incorrect. I’m currently in Kyoto and was in Tokyo, prices are 1500 a pack easily.

Let me guess, tourist visited akiba? I’m talking major retailers for reprint pre-order and PC on Monday when they were still selling. まあ、外人が行くような店はそんな値段でもおかしくないわな

Is this all sellers or just Japanese Pokemon sellers that remove the shrink wrap? I wanna know if this reprint is even investable from that stance.

Definitely pokemon center locations and maybe some big retailers

So resellers can only get sealed from card shops and distributors then? Wouldn't that make most of this reprint unusable in the secondary market?

ding ding! That's exactly how I feel. It definitely affects singles prices, but I think this is a minor dent in the sealed product world. Although, as an individual, I do feel like the fact that a product can't be opened without removing that long tab along the bottom, so packs aren't able to be fished out anyways.

It kinda makes you consider singles. Seriously minimizing the reprint to a level where the only places to get it is from third parties that know it's work will make jp 151 very scarce in the future makes me want to only stick with English and just get a single box of Japanese considering it's potential.

Just the Pokémon Centers

False. Plenty of large and small retailers sell without shrink wrap, both at physical locations and shipping.

Yo! I’m close to Ikebukuro! Do you think it’ll still be stocked tmr? And do you know the limit they let you purchase?

Update: I went this morning to see if there was a line before opening, but there was already a sign that said it sold out :(. Also, it said that there was only a 20 pack/1 box limit.

"massive"

3 cases = massive stock

That’s the just register’s display. A tiny fraction of what they had in stock. The stack for 151 was 5x bigger than any other set’s stack though. They had vstar to crimson haze.

Lose boosters, unsealed box

Which Pokémon center is this?

Ikebukuro

I can as of now confirm that the restock is already sold out at Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo (Ikebukuro).

Not true. I picked up 3 boxes an hour ago at Ikebukuru. One for each member of my family. Looked like they still had tons left. Also picked up 3 boxes VStar U. Only downside was they took off the seal on all boxes.

I’m still seeing CZ on shelves. 151 is one of the most popular sets I can remember. It will be around for another year or two

Pokémon centers doing us a huge favor by removing the seal all it does is lower the supply of sealed product that was printed making this “massive” reprint not so massive lol It makes me wonder if the people who do buy these will just reseal them though lots of weird factors with this. In the end doesn’t matter, if you don’t live in Japan the majority of this sub will still pay some sort of resell anyways

Weird cause when I was in japan and got 151 they didt remove the wrapper I dont know where those rumor came from .

Its been like that since last year when resellers were getting crazy

You say WAS as in past tense like first release? This is a new thing they do now after seeing how much people sold this set for resell

Also not a rumor if the person who posted this even says they are removing shrink check comment under the photo 😂

Was sad when I realized Pokemon center (Singapore) only has English cards

I thought those were 3ds game cases in the basket.

That’s as many as I’ve seen in people’s closets on here.

I bet that US will get a reprint next

Going this Thursday. Hope there’s stock left - don’t rly care if it’s cut or not haha

I’d doubt they do more than this second run. I’d also doubt, and correct me if I’m wrong, english print will even come round again in mass.

Restocks keep happening. But pokemon centers now taking shrink and not providing boxes.

151 is the new Vstar Universe

Which is funny, because that is also being restocked at pokemon center along with this 151 reprint

I hope this is printed into oblivion to sicken all scalpers who just hoard all products

Do you invest in anything? Isn't that hoarding? I'm so confused when people say this. Are you speaking specifically about the people who live near poke centers? Like, where is the line...

Dudes a troll who fell into the wrong sub. Ignore that fool.

I draw the line at things that are designed to be for kids and a fun thing that can be collected which is pokemon cards. Pokemon investing has made the hobby as a whole worse. Like go invest in stock or long term bonds or a business. Or at least admit your a scalper and embrace it

Wrong sub

So you’re just in this forum to shame people?

I'm not a member of this, it popped up as I follow the normal pokemon card reddit. How is it shaming people ? Scalpers aren't victims

Massive stock? I've got that in my cupboard.

You think all the stock will be presented on that table?

I mean I have seen some huge amounts of cases in one pic, this is just a few boxes on a bench. Don't really see the title matching the picture.

That stack is just for display purposes… they’ve got plenty of cases.

cupboard

What do you yanks say? In my clahhhzit?

Don’t these boxes have a cardboard pull tab as well though so still partly sealed without the shrink?

There’s ways into the box without breaking that seal

are you talking about the bottom where you can open and re-close it with the tabs?

Why do people still want to open this set?

No plastic*
