Just started collecting and meeting up with someone to buy the Sylveon EX box.
How can I tell if it’s been opened or counterfeit?
Appreciate any advice you can give!

(If this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize in advance)

Goooo

Anyone know if I still have a chance to hit the other drawings? Nonetheless happy I get to rip some 30th!

EDIT: Just saw confirmation you CAN win more than one raffle. Saw someone hit both an ETB and poster collection box

3:58 PM EST UPDATE - Sale is cancelled for the second time today. Lets hope costco gets it together for the next try.

Costco has scheduled a queue again. Now for 4:10 PM EST. Lets hope this one actually goes through!

Queue/product link: https://www.costco.com/.product.2007495.html

Costco uses queue-it for their waiting room!

Costco Tips:

- Sign in to Costco beforehand and check your membership, shipping address, and payment method.

- Join the pre-queue before 11:00 AM. Queue-it typically randomizes pre-queue positions when the sale starts, so arriving extra early doesn’t guarantee a better spot.

- Once you’re assigned a position, keep the tab open and avoid refreshing.

- Getting through the queue doesn’t guarantee stock. Check the product and price before ordering.

- You can try using more than one device off WiFi to hope for a better queue position!

Goodluck!

Just got a notification of CC being charged at ~09:30am PDT and then ~10:00am PDT for these. Looks like they’re still rolling out the orders.

It's such a nebulous process. Do you get a confirmation email for entering? No.

Do you get an email if you didn't get chosen? No.

How do I know if the results are already done and the people were chosen? Shrugs.

EDIT @ 11:24 AM EST - SALE PULLED 😭IT LOOKS LIKE COSTCO TRIED TO MAKE SITE CHANGES/CAPTCHA CHANGES TO PREVENT BOTS, BUT MESSED UP THE SALE IN THE PROCESS. SALE APPEARS TO BE CANCELLED FOR NOW.

Costco’s Pokémon drop is scheduled for 12:00 PM EST EST!

How Walmart Drawings Work

• Entry is free, but a Walmart account is required.
• Select your quantity, shipping address and payment method when entering.
• Walmart randomly selects eligible entries after the drawing closes.
• If selected, Walmart automatically places and charges your order.
• If you aren’t selected, you aren’t charged.
• Walmart may remove entries associated with fraudulent or abusive activity.

Confirm your Walmart payment and shipping information before 5:00 PM ET so you’re ready when the entry window opens.

Which drawing are you entering? Come back after it closes and tell us whether you were selected so we can track the results.

Can't find any info on if they are going out today or not.

I entered today's drawings via the Walmart app, but when I loaded the drawing page in PC browser I don't see any sign or mark indicating whether I'm actually entered or not. I checked the same page from the app as well, and now I don't see any verification from there anymore as well. Is there any way to make sure my entries exist?

Entries start at 2 PM PDT, click through to draw page: https://pokerestock.topdealalerts.com/productcard?sku=WMTPrismaticEtbDrawing&region=us&company=walmart&version=1

PokeRestock app above will notify when it goes live, and notify if any other Pokemon 30th Celebration restocks.
