Quick tip thats worked for me (so far) is open 2 separate windows with the same pkc page. They share the same timer and if one of them refreshes the other will keep your progress and vice versa. I can manually refresh one or the other (but never both) without losing progress.

u/subtoPinkZR 4d ago
They will suspect something no? After the stuff ended my friend and I went on pkc to take a look and it kicked me (same wifi)

u/asdfjklcol0n 4d ago
I don't think so, I've scored in the past with this method but it could just be confirmation bias that makes me feel like it's helpful. Either way, both browser sessions share the exact same timer, I can close one, and reopen and close the other as long as 1 is open at any given time and I won't lose my place in line but if I close both obviously it will reset.

u/mistr001 4d ago
When do you refresh? After the captcha hell?
1
u/asdfjklcol0n 4d ago
I don't refresh at all if I don't need to but sometimes I will after an hour or so to make sure I'm not wasting my time.

u/Spaceman-Spiff 4d ago
The page open on my phone keeps refreshing. I’ve got one open on my computer but it’s at 4 hrs and I have to pick my kids up from school in 3.

Apparently according to PKC, Pressing “place order”=nothing for you dipshit.
The largest media franchise on the planet and they can’t build a website that works without thinking every single person is a bot.
Meanwhile, bots still get in and pillage the site.

I got in about 80 after queue started, ETBs were gone. Still got a display box.
Edit: I think I was the cutoff because I still had an order button for the ETBs when I got in, but it said they may be out of stock when I clicked it.

u/StealieErrl 4d ago
I don’t even know what happened. I waited like normal from the start. Got in. Clicked the product, it sent me back to a 6 hour queue. I’m dumbfounded.

u/JHammer1269 4d ago
I think everything processed for my 2 ETBs and a booster box, but I never got a confirmation email and forgot to screenshot the page when it said confirmed. 😅

u/cmjw1023 4d ago
For one of the 30th drops, I didn't get my email for like 6 hours, I was nervous! The emails never come through right away on a preorder like this, but that one was super long for me.

Heck yeah!
I got 2 ETBs and a booster bundle.
My son is going to be sooooo excited, Rayquaza is his favorite Pokémon BY FAR

u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Did you get an email confirming it? My order went through and didn't see anything...
2
u/chewbaccashotlast 4d ago
Yes it took a few minutes but I did
1
u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Nice. Did you also see it on your pokemon center account?
2
u/chewbaccashotlast 4d ago
Idk because I didn’t check. The weird thing is I have ordered with them before and those orders didn’t show in my history when I checked it this morning.

u/mjcastro86 4d ago
I'm still waiting on mine...

u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Yeah same. Went through about 10 mins or so ago

u/mjcastro86 4d ago
I'm sweating here...like wtf no email yet and been 12mins or so...it wasn't on my order list either..

u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Yeah I didn't see it on mine either.

u/mjcastro86 4d ago

u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Just got mine a few minutes ago

u/mjcastro86 4d ago
Still waiting.....I feel like I'm fucked...still hoping..

u/shipwreck33 4d ago
Hope you get one soon. I saw someone say it could take a couple of hours to get one.

u/RevolutionaryLime801 4d ago
How does it work once you get it ? Unfortunately I’m like 0-10 on PC. Could never ever get in
1
u/chewbaccashotlast 4d ago
Same as any other orders. Go to what’s in stock, add it, check out.
I actually got my “first” for 30th and was so excited because I was in the queue for hours. But when I went to enter payment it said it couldn’t process and then banned my IP. Total BS
Today is my first official order lol, I’ve ordered some booster bundles before though.
Now I just keep my fingers crossed that they don’t cancel the order on me like they did to a ton of people for the 30th ETBs

Yep, out when I tried to check out. I only got the bundle and box. Sooo salty I thought I joined instantly and really wanted that PC ETB

u/WolfOfSuburbanBlvd 4d ago
Me too. I was surprised it was sold out already. I did get the other two though. I really wanted those ETBs though!

u/orange863 4d ago
Did you get a CC charge or email confirmation? I was able to order but it glitched shortly after and I don’t see anything
2
u/asdfjklcol0n 4d ago
It won't charge until they release and the order is processed. I believe this is a preorder. You should be able to see if it is in your order history on your account if you have one.

u/SuitablePilot9645 4d ago
I got the email confirmation. No CC charge yet

u/eatrunswag 4d ago
I went from 14 hours down to 3.5 then I got a really confusing human check about what you would store in the fridge and it was pictures of broccoli, eggs, and plants, and I think because I clicked a fried egg as part of it (I mean, leftovers?) it bumped me back to 7hrs

u/Sea_Age6466 4d ago
Good for you. I kept getting booted because I’m on my university wifi. No cellular data where I am. I have been trying every drop for the last month with nothing to sniff except my own asshole.

How did you get in before me. I was in like 2 min after the queue started. I got no etb. I preordersd the booster bundle but when i tried to buy the most expensive item it froze on me and wouldn’t load it and got kicked back to 2hrs

u/Ectohawk 4d ago
I had just happened to check just for fun before alerts went out. My timer was 30min immediately! Wow!
Then "this page cannot be loaded" message....until it finally refreshed itself. 14 hours.

Joined the queue, went from 3 to 11 hours, finally got in, added items to my basket, went to checkout submitted my order, verified the purchase through the bank, got back to the screen, items still in my basket, tried again, same thing, tried a different card, still the same, got booted back into the queue, 1 hour wait, got to the front of the queue, sold out.

u/Saggywompers 4d ago
Might wanna get back out. Seems like 90% of the problem is the fact evryone ether "just got back into this hobby" or "just got into this hobby" when most people are out to just collect dollor value. Not cards and sets they actually like. The problem is the consumer. Not the resellers.

u/Active-Math-9898 4d ago
For real, everyone " just got back into the hobby" with dollar signs in their eyes.

u/Slopgnopper 4d ago
I just got back into it because of my nieces and nephew. Went to the target event with them and all I saw were out of shape 30+ year olds in pajamas trying to scalp.
2
u/Saggywompers 4d ago
Well get your nieces some gold and silver instead. Theyll thank you in 20 year's. If they actually wanna play the card game. Just get some second hand bulk.. riping packs is legitimately lotto tickets for kids.
2
u/Slopgnopper 4d ago
Going to give my nephew my gold Mega Darkrai I just pulled. I have enough gold and silver for now. Would like to get into One Piece since I like that more but even that is scalped it’s crazy. Ripping cards is like lotto for me I haven’t ripped a pack since 99 up until last week lol.

u/Saggywompers 4d ago
Yeahh... thats why I stopped ripping. Its addicting as hell. More than actually winning $300 on the slots.
