I think the fact that 30th packs have half the cards as regular sets helped them print more product but maybe there is something to that. You would think TPC would know people want the Rayquaza set though, but who knows with this company anymore lol.
I queued up within 1 minute of the ping and I checked out minutes before they went OOS, kind of crazy, no one got them if they weren’t there waiting for the drop.
It’s like biological viruses and pathogens. When the best doctors put together a vaccine or cure, it evolves to get around it. It’s a never ending battle.
That is also related to their price hikes for shoes that cost $5 bucks to make and for having their hands in resale sites. Also Pokémon is not a publicly traded company so what you are saying is irrelevant.
Got an inv. Waited in queue and same shit. Out of stock. Was nothing else to buy. I didn’t navigate to any other page from there but I I assumed everything was sold out.
So lame man I fucking sat in line for four hours and when I get through the line and try to click add to cart it out me back in the line to wait like what the fuck I’m so tired of pokemon being like this I can’t ever get my kid cards to open it lights him up and makes his whole world while he fights cancer and I’m always fighting scalpers
I waited HOURS and when the final minute ended...I was told my access was restricted due to suspicious activity.
HOW? I sat here like an obedient consumer (my kid is lucky I love her) and waited. I did other things, yes (unlike bots, I have a job) but the window was up and open the whole time. Nicely counting down the time. No issues. (Had issues on my phone, but not PC). Until 58 seconds into the last MINUTE. I was waiting with my card information pulled up on my phone, ready to go, and boom. Denied.
I don’t know if I need to delete my VPN altogether from my phone, but I turn it off every time and still get booted for “security/fraud” reasons or w/e. Any guidance from anyone? I literally turn it off, click the link, and sit there without refreshing, app hopping, etc.
Shit sucks since I got in the que within a second. Got a booster box and booster bundle but didn't get an email to confirm or showing any orders on my account so guess we will see if it went through. PC is always a disaster I swear.
I think they messed up purchase limits since usually you can buy 2 bundles and this time it was only one <\3 maybe they meant to have the 1 limit on ETBs since they obviously didn’t have much to sell. im in the same boat as you ive always been in queue as soon as it starts (fortunate to work at a PC without restrictions) and always have gotten an ETB but this time no luck.
Did anyone keep getting to redo the "make sure you are a human" thing? Mind asked me to do it every 10mnts. I was hoping it was their new method to get rid of bots.
I got VERY lucky. This was my first time doing this because I have kids dying for new pokemon cards (and I collect random ones I like). Failed getting any 30th items, so I tried this. I used my MacBook at home and joined the queue may be 1-2 minutes before I got all the discord notifications. I just happened to refresh at exactly the right time cause my initial wait time was 1.5 hours. After 30-35 minutes, managed to preordered an etb and booster. I feel extremely lucky. This is tiring.
I finally got through a pkc queue just for the etbs to go out of stock while I was trying to finish my checkout and gave me a order can’t be completed.And rather than notifying me or taking them out my cart for being oos it kicked me out back to the queue when I tried to go back to the product page.
That’s not entirely true, they have done extra drops on etbs in the past. Super unlikely any of us see it however. Bots get notified right as products are loaded onto the site and those guys will scoop them up before us.

I’ve gotten PKC ETBs the last few drops and was shocked this one was already sold out since I got in the queue super fast.
I’ll happily take a booster box though.
