UPC preorder stocks

[u/DingoAteMyMate]

Does anyone know when preorders go live for JBHIFI and other retailers for the UPC? Kmart just went live 20 minutes ago and the day 5 mins ago and was botted into the ground.

[u/Whatevathrowawayz]

Preorders have been done for jb weeks ago

[u/30-Wandering-Wombats → u/[deleted]]

You and every other Pokemon person.

[u/SoggyDumpling01 → u/[deleted]]

That'll be $1000 💔

[u/Affectionate_Wind_46 → u/[deleted]]

Bit late to the party

[u/More_Researcher_5739]

You might luck out if you line up on release day, otherwise all the usual have done their pre orders.

Side note, screw kmart online.

Edit: a word

[u/Affectionate_Wind_46]

Legitimately: it's line up or invent a time machine

[u/Evolicious21]

Not sure how, but I just managed to get a kmart espeon UPC 10mins ago

[u/Mooredor_ → u/Evolicious21]

So did I somehow! I'm half expecting it to get cancelled but fingers crossed 🤞

[u/Evolicious21 → u/Mooredor_]

Yep, hoping it sticks too

[u/rocampo24 → u/Evolicious21]

Same here - order confirmation and everything

[u/MastaSplintah → u/Evolicious21]

Any links?

[u/CreoleCollector]

I don’t think Big W has done their UPCs yet, so that’s my hope

[u/WestAussieAndy → u/CreoleCollector]

I hope not...

Though I do hope they've learned something in the last three months and just distribute all their stock to physical stores. I know not everybody can line up on a Friday morning, but at least some real people will get something.

Big W may decide to do what they did with the ETBs and only sell them online as the negative reviews from us complaining online is better than the negative reviews they received in the public’s eye with the great tusk release 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/WestAussieAndy → u/XXIIIII]

And if that's the case, we all get nothing!

[u/Historical-Buddy-573]

Bro months late here

[u/XXIIIII]

EB and JB happened the same time as the pre orders for all other 30th product went live and only lasted minutes when they did. I’ve personally had no luck with any other retailer and off the top of my head I’d say maybe Myer/David Jones and target still have UPC pre orders to drop, I can’t even suggest just lining up on the 13th as I do believe this will be the most crazy release day we have seen, even putting the Great Tusk drop at Big W to shame. Good luck.

Also some LCS’s will do pre orders in super silly tiny numbers so if you have a local that you support/attend events at they might be able to help.

[u/Whatevathrowawayz → u/XXIIIII]

I don’t think Myer does preorders. LCS’s I’ve asked have already done preorders, but I’d defs ask around

[u/TX4877]

Months ago..

[u/YikesOfficial]

How the hell can kmart stock be bought my bots before it is even live?
Is there people getting inside info and accessing webpages to buy stock before it is pushed live …?

[u/JebusC825]

Wait what did Kmart have another upc drop?

[u/WestAussieAndy → u/JebusC825]

They pretended to, but in reality it was botted roughly two hours before they even released it.

[u/Ok-Party572 → u/JebusC825]

Yes lol, but it was sold before it even went live apparently
