For a very short while, it seemed like the world of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game was healing. Prices of single cards began to tuꦆmble for the✅ first time in over three months, The Pokemon Center's anti-bot protection 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:seemed to have kicked up a gear, and otꦜher retailer🌱s, like GameStop, were on upcoming, in-demand products.
As Pokemon TCG Single Prices Fall, One Of Sword And Shield’s Leas🃏t Desirable Sets Is On The Rise
More than triple the price in a year...
Unfortunately, that healing process didn't last long. Despite limiting customers to one of each product, GameStop seems to be charging well over the RRP for the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destined Rivals release.
Destined Rivals Stock Is Being Price-Gouged By GameStop
Destined Rivals is undoubtedly going to be one of the most popular Pokemon TCG sets in recent memory, maybe ever. It releases on May 30 and contains dozens of stunning car🐻ds, including the return of Team Rocket to the TCG for the first time in years. Chase cards like Rocket's Mewtwo ex and Rocket's Moltres ex are like🎉ly to fetch a pretty penny.
Clearly aware of the zeitgeist surrounding the expansion and the high demand from collec🌳tors, GameStop looks like it will be placing a hefty markup on some of the most sought-after products.
According to a seemingly legitimate pricing list from GameStop, the troubled retailer will be placing a mark-u🍎p on both the Booster Boxes and Booster Bundles.
Booster Boxes, which typically retail at , will reportedly be sold for $199.99, and Booster Bundles, which The Pokemon Center , will be sold at GameStop for $39.99. This represents a 23 percent and a 48 percent increase, respectiওvely.
Naturally, reaction to t🗹🌞he news hasn't gone down well with fans.
The pre-order process for Destined Rivals had, up to this point, already proven a bit of a farce. Four-hour-long queues on The Pokemon Center website 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:still led to disappointment, and products were quickly listed on eBay for a higher price than any othe😼r🌜 recent expansion.
This increase is just another major disappointment for genuine Pokemon Trading Card Game fans, who have faced ꦓnothing but adversity over the last 12 to 18 months.
