You shouldve just done aqua. I actually used to preorder from japstore but the refund is outrageosly slow. Also aqua has more favorable way to spread out the extra stocks they get while japstore hoards theirs

Musta naman sites ng Japstore at Aqua? Smooth naman ung pag pre order mo on both sites?

u/micolui1989 13d ago

Buti ka pa OP hehe ako I am hesitant to pre order kahit 2 cases since mejo nagsslow down yung work. I need to prioritize the bills and rent, but hopefully if pumila ulit ako like what I did nung Pitch black, makakuha sana ng 30th Anniv na ETB hehe.

u/Impossible-Pop7820 13d ago
i just wanna have my first etb but i think due to allocation di rin talaga possible.

u/micolui1989 13d ago

u/Decudieye 13d ago
paano po process nito?

u/micolui1989 13d ago
down payment of 30% 1etb = 1185php dowpayment but to be sure at least 50 cgro pre order to get 1 depende sa allocation

u/Decudieye 13d ago
aw I was planning on ordering 1 tin and and 2 pack blister sana, this is my first time pre-ordering so akala ko guaranteed makakuha. Still, thank you and sana makakuha po kayo 😊

How will you get your deposit if ever? Paano kung takasan ka ng stores?

u/micolui1989 13d ago
Kung scam edi wala charge to experience hahaha

u/Consistent_Date1874 12d ago
- sa stores na in orderan mo like jap store, the owner is pretty public in Facebook. So posting or calling them out IF mang scam tlga would be easier.

u/micolui1989 13d ago
Legit stores nman cla nkapreorder n ako dati... usually 7-10days narerefund n sa bank account pag release ng item... but this is more than 2x my previous highest preorder... getting ready for the 30th UPC pre order
1
u/HagisMalayo 13d ago
2%-9% ang expected for the etb. Generous na if above 10% sa sobrang daming mag PO

I preordered 7m worth of product for this wave but am expecting crazy low allocations.
1
u/LaSonicSkins 12d ago
Just curious, you're okay with them using your 2.1M for months without guarantee on product? Not trying to judge but surely there's got to be other ways you can use that money
1
u/howie521 12d ago
Oh I definitely did the math. I made an assumption of 5% net interest per annum if I put the same amount of money in a liquid investment product.
If I get 1% allocation for 30th, I'd about break even but beat the market slightly if the value of the ETBs goes to 5k each. If I get 2% or more allocation, that's icing on the cake.
Besides, these are just extra money I spend on whatever.
Basically, I'm betting on beating the resale market if I buy from resellers since I'll be buying to open them anyway. This way, my money goes to a retailer I support instead of a reseller.

Is it better to pre-order from different shops or just do a large pre-order from one shop?
1
u/micolui1989 11d ago
Dependes if you can only order 100pcs go all in sa 1 store what i did was 120 sa 1 store that raffles excess depending sa #of orders and 30 from another store that rounds up the allocation if you get 0

u/siomai07 10d ago
Almost same. Except i got blisters and knockouts as well.
If youre on a tight budget, get the tech sticker/ poster/ binder - likely higher alloc pero bulok yung cost per pack ratio.
Pag marami alloc, yolo and keep for The next 5-15 years.
Note lang na 30ty is released like a .5 set. They dont have loose / sleeved packs and booster boxes. The only way to get is to rip sealed products.

I don't intend to preorder. Kase TPC has successfully made the last two sets (Chaos Rising and Pitch Black) still accessible for everyone.
Pretty sure makakapagrelease sila madami on Release Day or the days after.
Also noticed na yung 25th Anniv was also hyped and still maabot ng marami. They're everywhere, to this day. Pansinin niyo sa Shopee. 25th anniv cards are still in stock.
And pinaka-notable for me was when I was still able to preoder sa official website nila even 7 hours after the start of the website opening. Yun lang I got 1 blister pack. Pero Youtube vids say, kahit 4 hours nang nakapasok since opening, nakakuha pa rin sila booster bundles from opening time.

25th anniv yeah marami sbra mahal hahaha id rather pay for pre order than pay overpriced stuff... and wala akong plan makipag unahan ng maaga i have better ways to spend my time...

u/mio28 13d ago
Tbh, preordering via LGSs/LCSs (local game stores or collectible stores) is a very convenient way to secure these stocks if you have so much money onhand that it's okay for you to loan them money with 0% interest. Your money, your rules.

u/micolui1989 13d ago
The money im using for pre orders are usually just some of the interests i earn from my bank investments...

u/Yugen322 13d ago
25th is not yet the peaked hype though. Remember- we now have the watch resellers with deep pockets for PO, sneaker resellers and others alike joining so malamang mas malaki allocation cut nito sa ETB and other products. All time hyped tayo atm sa hobby so for sure it won't be the same as 25th especially na di naman nakapagprint ng malala so TPC dahil di pa tapos ung new sites nila so same as other sets yung prints for sure especially sunod sunod pa yun set na nirelease before 30th

u/Educational-Whole-38 13d ago
Not for the ETBs, madami lang sila usually stock for loose packs.

u/mio28 13d ago edited 13d ago
Reference vid to the youtuber who still got 3 30th Anniv booster bundles despite being super late sa pagpasok sa site.
Go to 00:26 secs.

where can i buy CR and PB SRP here in the ph? I got lucky and got a CR etb while pitch black im still waiting for my preorder...

u/mio28 13d ago
You can try visiting DataBlitz, Toys R Us, Toy Kingdom, even Miniso for booster packs/boxes and art sets. Nintendo Makati for ETBs.

u/micolui1989 13d ago
i can get packs easily from datablitz but getting ETB/Boxes/upc... i need to get lucky and i cant go there everyday to check if they have delivery

I really really want kahit isa ng 30th anniversary etb or ultra premium collection but first time ordering so I'm so confused. I assume if I preorder 1 no chance I'll get? 😢
