Yesterday, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Pokemon Company dropped its first products from its exciting new trading card game expansion, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mega Evolution. Unlike 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:early Prismatic Evolutions and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destined Rivals listings, the process ran pretty smoothly. Sure, there were some pretty long wait times in the queue, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the anti-bot proജtection seemed﷽ to do its job, and it was relatively easy to get your hands on ETBs, Booster Boxes, and Booster Bundles — provided you weren't one of the unlucky few who were incorrectly identified a🌊s a bot.
PSA: 🔯Pick Up These Bargain Mega Evolution Pokemon TCG Cards Before Their Prices Skyrocket
These Mega Pokemon are destined for great things.
Rather unsurprisingly, however, despite products being easier to come by, they're still being flipped on eBay ꦓfor far, far higher than what they were available for on The Pokemon Center.꧂
The Pokemon Trading Card Game's New Mega Evolution Set Is Already Being Scalped
Within minutes of the Mega Evolution trading card game products being listed on The Pokemon Center website, those ruin🐻ing t🍬he Pokemon TCG hobby were trying to make a quick buck on reselling sites like eBay.
In the UK, listings have popped up ($349) for the pair of excl♐usive Elite Trainer Boxes, while individual ETBs are being listed for ($187). In the US, a pair of the Gardevoir and Lucario ETBs are (including postage). Alongside active listings, there have been multiple completed sales of the Elite Trainer Boxes, ranging between and for the pair, or around for a 🌱single ETB.
Given that the Elite Trainer Boxes only sell for £54.99 in the UK and $59.99 in the US, that's a significant mark-up, around 2🏅33 percent if sold for the higher amounts. This is indicative of the wider problem that the Pokémon Trading Card Game has been facing for the best p🌜art of a year now.
In January, we reported that the price⭕s of The Pokemon TCG's single cards and sealed products wer꧑e skyrocketing exponentially, and that showed no sign of slowing down. There was a small indication that, perhaps, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the bubble may have been bursting, but that turned out to be a false flag, as price-gougers found another range of cards, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sun and Moon Promos, that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:they could manipulate the market for.
The Mega Evolution expansion is set to continue the Pokemon Trading Card Game's stellar 2025. Following on from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Prismatic Evolutions, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Journey Together, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destined Rivals, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Bolt and White Flare, Mega Evolution will see the return of the titular mec🌌hanic for the first time since 2016's XY Evolutions. It will feature "nearly a dozen Mega Evolution Pokemon ex" and more than 50 Pokemon and Trainer cards with special illustrations. It's clear, that🧸 it's just as sought after as its predecessors from this year.
The🌃 Pokemon Company is doing everything it can to combat scalpers, with its new anti-bot protection and purchase limits, but🦋 it seems like, for the foreseeable at least, that the Pokemon TCG's plight will continue.
