Did you get more prismatic in stock 😉

[@youcanthandlemyname7393]

to be fair im pretty sure lgs getting low allocations is a strategy by tpc to prevent scalping. when theirs super high demand sets like this we commonly hear that lgs get super small allocations while big box stores get massive allocations. this is probably because the big box stores sell for msrp or close to it while lgs sell for market price.

[@BigL80]

We may get some reprints in 2025 but don’t expect much, if anything maybe surging sparks. And you got it wrong man lol 2025 will be the year of hype 😂 January we have prismatic evolutions, then we will have SV9 in March, sv10 in may, sv11 in September and sv 12 in November. From those 4 sets we know that one of those will be a team rocket set and another one will be a trainer set. As far as 2026, well 30th anniversary so things will get outta hand

[@christopherborchers766]

@lopez156210 Maybe, or maybe that expectation of a great year will turn to fear and panic when heavy reprints for SV sets start pouring out to meet the new demand. I'm not saying any specific sets are reprinting, but it doesnt matter. Reprints are coming! It'll be an absolutely fun year for pokemon!

[@samersalama6275]

Yep agreed! I had no idea the clarity of the cards would make this much of a difference. Honestly I think the sylveon vmax looks better than the Umbreon vmax. In this set though I think the Umbreon is slightly better than the sylveon.

[@JustByrdnest]

Everybody is preparing for furry set of the year. You guys can do all the hype, i'm still hunting down Crown Zenith stuff LMAO.

Crown Zenith had similar hype, similar amount of chases and a similar release schedule. They are releasing Prismatic Evolution products for 9 months. It will be readily available like Crown Zenith still is.

[@wintoshi]

If these are truly SIRs and not galarian gallery. It is to the moon we go for this set.

[@TNastyPokemon]

@wintoshi I think you'll pull an SIR as often as you'd pull a GG. They've already changed pull rates for S&V already. Such as the first three sets of S&V had higher pull rates than recent sets. Lost Origin and Silver Tempest had tough pull rates for Alts but Crown Zenith came out with easy pull rates so they will likely change the pull rates. Especially, with so many SIRs.

[@Dontatmebr0]

I cannot find crown zenith anywhere. Already sold out after the re release last month

[@Eduardo_GRS]

@@wintoshithe Galarian Gallery cards from Crown Zenith, the ones with no yellow borders (GG35-GG66) are all actually SIR cards (if you search the Pokemon website card list, they are classified as such). The 4 GG gold cards are secret rares.

Well let’s just hope that prismatic evolutions does receive a decent print for release date otherwise prices will spin outta control fast. I feel like the least expensive option may be just to buy singles rather than open a bunch of product. Regardless it’s going to be a crazy 2025 with the set line up. We have a special set that has the potential to be one of the best, then a trainers set and then a team rocket set. Not to mention that 2026 is the 30th anniversary year so you know that set is going to be crazy. The way I see it 2025 and 2026 will be crazy years for the hobby.
