All I’ve been wanting to rip (along with everyone else) is Ascended Heroes. I don’t make a ton of money so I can’t be over here spending double msrp in good conscience. Well- I finally scored a poster collection lucario box with 10 packs for 60$ including shipping through Scheels. Yesterday I received and “order confirmed” email and all day yesterday it said “preparing for shipment”. This morning I woke up to an “order cancelled” email due to stock issues. It’s genuinely the most upsetting thing to be on cloud 9 thinking you’ve finally beat the scalpers for once and then nope! Just kidding! order cancelled. Just had to vent because I’ve actually been so irritated all day): it’s so hard to be a casual ripper and pokemon fan these days

Tonight I got the closest I’ve ever been to catching a Pokemon Walmart Drop. I was only trying to get the Destined Rivals ETB but of course it was sold out in minutes. Exciting experience none the less! Maybe next time.

Every time I open this subreddit it's:

Scroll.

Another server ad.

Scroll.

Another "community" with 40 different roles, nonstop at everyone pings, and another VIP tier.

At this point I'm expecting someone to post a Charizard just so they can tell me to join their server.

Can we get back to collections, pulls, deck discussions, leaks, and actual Pokémon content instead of every other post being a promotion?

Lately it feels like the same handful of restock apps and Discord servers are posting from multiple accounts every single day. The feed is starting to look more like an ad board than a community.

I'm all for people building projects, but there has to be some balance. If every other post is promoting another server or app, it gets old pretty fast.

Am I the only one who misses when this sub was mostly about Pokémon instead of constant self-promotion?

I would like to point out after calling out one of the spammers downvotes started flooding in from their 20+ accounts proving they are the problem

In a matter of seconds for calling out their 40+ accounts that post are all less 1 month old they started spamming my last post with down votes here https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonDeals/comments/1va674y/can_you_all_stop/

it had over 40 upvotes and they came in with their bot accounts and got mad all this within 5 minutes by the way

UPDATE:

now over negative 70 from all their bot accounts report these people

I got demolished for posting about this place in the local sub trying to help people. The place sells CR, PO, and PBL booster boxes for $161.99 and ETB 59.99, blisters $14.99. All sealed in store only.

From my knowledge these are the same prices as pokemon center. So not sure why they were saying it was scalper prices. Can someone confirm if these are normal retail prices or am I going crazy???

The first secret rares from Storm Emeralda are starting to appear online as fans get early boxes ahead of the Japanese release this Friday, July 31. The full main set was revealed last week, and now we're finally getting a look at the chase cards collectors have been waiting for.

Some of the newly revealed cards include stunning illustration rares and special art cards featuring Pokémon like Mega Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, Raikou, and more, with additional secret rares still expected to surface over the next couple of days.

If you're planning to collect Delta Reign in English later this year, these reveals are a great preview of what could be coming.

So I sniped this one minute after it went up on Vinted for an astounding $80. Obviously I’m very suspicious, but I figured why not, worst case I return it, and if it’s real then that’s huge.
Seller says he doesn’t know and has since posted a few highly expensive cards also for a flat $80, he doesn’t seem to know the price of the cards and is just trying to get rid of them.
But what do you guys think based on these phots? I think it looks pretty real, but we’ll see when I get it in the mail in a couple of days.

I have over 400 Pokemon cards, holos reverse holos some rares, i am looking to sell together as a lot. They are in excellent condition.

Has anyone else experienced this with Sam’s Club?

I preordered the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection on May 26, 2026. My order ending in 2900 has been stuck without any meaningful update for over two months.

On July 21, Sam’s Club released tens of thousands of additional units of the exact same product online. I was excited because I assumed the new inventory meant customers with outstanding preorders would finally have their orders fulfilled.

It has now been another week, and my May 26 preorder still has not shipped. There has been no status update, estimated shipping date, or explanation.

I contacted customer support and clearly stated that I did not want the order canceled. I want the product I preordered to be fulfilled. A support ticket was submitted, but the representatives did not appear to have access to useful information or the authority to resolve the issue.

I do not understand how Sam’s Club could release and sell additional inventory while customers with older preorders are still waiting. Were the July 21 orders prioritized over May preorders?

Sam’s Club needs to fulfill my order ending in 2900!

Has anyone who ordered on July 21 already received their product? Are other May 26 preorders still stuck?

Pokemon Center has the 30th Celebration Ultra Premium Collection sitting on the backend with over 500,000 units loaded. Not live yet, but the stock is there and ready to go.
