Today the Pokemon company acknowledged the glaring issues with supply vs demand for the upcoming set Prismatic Evolutions which releases on January 17th and is already being heavily gate-kept and scalped. This is great news for collectors, players, and enthusiasts who want to get their hands on these products to open for fun or for play. Bad new however for the scalpers, flippers and investors in the short term. Although, we’re sure increased availability means more investors will be buying so it’ll be an uphill battle regardless.
Official Announcement:
“We’re aware that some fans may experience difficulties purchasing certain Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions products at launch due to high demand impacting availability.
We understand this inconvenience can be disappointing for fans, and we are actively working to print more of the impacted Pokémon TCG products as quickly as possible and at maximum capacity to acknowledge this. Reprinted products are expected to be available at participating retailers as soon as possible to help ensure more fans receive opportunities to access Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions. In addition, more new products from the Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions lineup will be launching in the coming months.
We’d like to thank the community for their continued support and patience as we work to deliver this highly anticipated expansion to fans.”
What are your thoughts? Will additional reprints be enough in this market boom?
