    Ya it's a charizard box, scalpers wet dream.
    Hopefully I find one in the wild later down the road.

    Oh almost definitely. I'm pretty sure the issue was that the company didn't set a limit on how many one person could preorder (something they have done before and somehow did not prevent this time...) So people were preordering upwards of 10 per person.

    I've gotten a lot of real upset people come in upset because they genuinely wanted the box for themselves :/

    As an addendum to my previous post, I was today told, that those who ordered more than two are having their pre-orders canceled and refunded. I.E. if someone pre-ordered 10, they will only receive 2. Not sure if they're gonna be opening up preorders though.

    Usually when preorders are cancelled because of going over a limit like that they shadow drop more so people have a chance again. So here's hoping they go to people who genuinely want the cards and aren't just trying to hustle collectors for a quick buck.

    It's insane that there's any value in these new sets at all, 20 years from now all these hustlers will have thousands of boxes and no one to buy them, just like it was in steam siege, booster boxes were so cheap

    So apparently the box dropped today on Pokémon Center's online store and caused such a ruckus that it:

    1. Caused the site to crawl to a standstill
    and
    2. Sold out completely within 10 minutes

    I desperately hope anyone who wanted to get this box managed to secure one. I'm already seeing "preordered item, not yet in hand" listings up on certain auction sites and rolling my eyes with disgust.

    I'm fully expecting this to sky rocket in price.

    I got insanely lucky with these. I didn't get to preorder any but I went to gamestop and someone didn't pick up theirs so I got 2. Then I saw a post on facebook where a guy's wife got mad he bought them and told him to get his money back now so I bought his for MSRP. I got 4. I did open all the packs but I am selling the charizard cards, boxes, play mats and collectables. I will probably keep the sleeves though.
