English Pokemon 151 Will Be Short Printed & You should Panic

[@jscc1786]

I had a distro rep state a couple products are short printed, & that's why we aren't getting any from that distro. These products are more common to Big Box than Hobby, so I presume those products will be more readily available at Big Box than some others I expect 2nd wave/restock come through around black Friday given our timing

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

That would make sense

[@e-man7143]

Yeah no. My buddies shop got 100% of their order. Maybe these guys on Twitter should close down their bedroom "store fronts" and maybe they'll get some where 😂

[@sabadam27]

Agreed. I know LGSs are struggling but I’m hoping this wasn’t a ploy to drive panic and give reason to raise $. Coming into the holidays, set is 🔥, gonna a lot of product. Don’t FOMO. This Pokémon’s big chance to lots of people back into the game

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Yeeeep. Even people who haven’t been buying for over a decade

[@dungeonmasterdogeboi1203]

Same rumors that were getting thrown around about the Zard UPC and then they were over stocked lol

[@Spiretspvp]

“Astral Radiance is only going to be single release” - Probably all the same stores that started the short print rumor on 151

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

😂🤣😂😂😂

[@krizzlr]

I'm hearing that the MewPC will be printed to the ground, to the point where it's printed more than ZUPC. ZUPC is still sitting on shelves and selling for considerably less than MSRP. Don't FOMO and wait for sub $100, it will happen.

[@PokemonOpenings-qk5gk]

Is there any allocation numbers regarding the upc?? Because just bc u heard it doesn’t mean it’s factual. (Unless the allocation numbers were revealed)

[@Nathan-sx6kr]

Don’t forget Mew upc has a gold cards - just like the celebrations ones - and thus will not be printed to the ground

[@PokemonOpenings-qk5gk]

@@Nathan-sx6kr yes that’s correct however just because it has promo cards that match celebrations promo cards from the upc doesn’t have a connection for the stock amount for the mew upc. The mew upc will consist of cards like the gold mew which will significantly increase the demand of the product however it will have no affect on the stock amounts which is blatant knowledge. I believe that the mew upc will be fairly printed and there can be no factual evidence regarding the mew upcs stock quantity.

[@Nathan-sx6kr]

@@PokemonOpenings-qk5gk That's correct. I meant it more in a way that a metal cards is harder to produce, for example, reprint size. The Charizard upc is easier because it only consisted of 'normal' cards. Another point i want to make is that this upc is part of a 'special' set - just like the celebrations upc. Although Pokemon Japan said they will print this set to oblivion - but yet the boxes are 4/5 times retail. Eventually they have to stop printing these because of newer sets too lol. I, personally, have the feeling special sets like these are short(er) printed than normal sets.

[@PokemSockemHockey]

its because pokemon is catering to retail stores to control the market more. They know that LGC's can sell them for whatever price they want but in retail stores it needs to stay at msrp.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Yes I agree retail stores will likely see a lot of product

[@tomioka2755]

I completely agree with this! This set is going to be overflowing from the shelves

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

theres no way it WONT be

[@Gibbers5]

I bet why they arent getting as much is because everyone is preordering from big stores who arent price hiking.. they need the supply because of higher preorders.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Possibly!

[@greathitnick3034]

The pre orders have been available since they went live on target etc. the only 151 product that went oos is the PC Etb so I don’t really think it’s short printed.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Agreed

[@greathitnick3034]

@@DrApplesauceTwo 🎉

[@burgerguyhi9897]

I agree with your logic and the need to quell unnecessary fomo. However logic also doesn't disprove that the set won't, in the end, be short printed. There are stores currently selling pre orders at retail. For those suffering from fomo, might it be suggested that they order one or two products at retail and when the set is not short printed buy more at a lower costs?

Yaaa, I don’t believe that either. We were talking with the distributor the other day and they do not even close pre-orders til tomorrow, so they would have no idea what allocations are coming through. I call cap.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I completely agree. Its far too early for stores to be claiming their allocations were shorted

[@pariahpokemonwesbragg2904]

Watching now. Haven't seen entire vid, but I gotta say...I hope you let ppl know not to panic. This set will be printed to the sky!!! Seems like you might be getting to that. I'm at the 2:30 minute marker on the vid, tho.

[@rell660]

I don't think it's true. It's a business and they want to make money. This rumor is a benefit to scalpers who'll try to up the price prior to release.

[@hlozano400]

I remember when everyone was freaking out about the charizard upc last year lol, I feel all those scalper that bought bulk are going to try to make rumors so all their stock get sold and not be stuck. My local shop said they are fine with supply of the Pokémon 151 and the stores they know haven’t had an issue that they will be getting less than usual copies.

[@gordoncorson9263]

Obsidian Flames will be harder to get cause all the focus is on 151. But the demand will still be crazy high for 151....that when a store runs out...pokemon will still be supplying Obsidian slowly..shops will charge close to msrp for Obsidian month/months later from release cause it is a trickle release.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Yup

[@AdamAtwood-ik7xe]

I disagree I think the cards aren’t really great for competitive gameplay meaning they were made for collection purposes only, the sets with the good competitive gameplay cards are the ones that will get all the reprints I see 151 getting a short print run.

[@mpineda389]

Let me break it down … a bunch of scum bags will buy a bunch of product, then hold on to it, giving the illusion that there is no product … there will be product the big stores will have it

[@Jerem_5960]

I see so many stores doing pre-orders for these 151 products coming in September and October. Since at the moment they are not selling Paldea Evolved nor Scarlet & Violet, they may try to hype it up for 151 so that people buy lots of their pre-orders.

If people didn’t have fomo maybe this wouldn’t be an issue to be honest. So many freak out with charizard upc last year and then bam all those copies in the wild.

[@mrv7916]

It’s all about business and money. I mean, this will probably be a big set and many people will want to get their hands on them. There is no way they will short print this set and not make any profit from people who are ready to buy them. I personally have already preordered some 151 sets. I’m actually waiting for them to restock the 151 ETBs from the Pokemon Center. I’m just hoping they continue restocking more 151 sets after release day.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

They should for sure! Restocks were happening off and on all day yesterday so just be on your toes!

Short printing 151 would leave so much profit on the table for the pokemon company. They would be crazy not to print enough.

[@erickflores01]

Aren’t the English cards the most sought after? Like globally? Maybe they do want to print to the ground but what if they physically can’t keep up? Like PS5 was one of the most anticipated release in a while and it’s years later and just now people are finally getting their hands on them. Just thinking out loud here.

[@Sonic-cel]

Pokemon cards don’t have chips that PS5 needed during a global “pandemic”

[@Austin_180]

I hope they print the crap put of this set. I just want to collect all the hits for my own nostalgia. I cant see them wanting to short print it either. They would leave too much money on the table. I just pre ordered 6 booster bundles for myself, maybe a lot of people are doing the same, who knows. Just upset that gold mew is a metal card. Has anyone heard if the booster bundles will have any guaranteed hits like the japan boxes do?

[@PokePhish555]

ZERO chance. ZERO. I’d like to know if those stores that were cut are holding local tournaments. My LGS runs them constantly and is growing-meanwhile their allocations keep going up each new set. I would be willing to bet these are stores that just sell Pokémon but don’t participate the TCG itself. It seems pokemon is focusing on promoting playing the game itself (which is smart - it is a better path for the long term).
