POKÉMON 30TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE.
Please read for all information regarding our upcoming release for Pokémon's 30th anniversary.
For the last release of the 30th anniversary, to combat stores selling products early, Pokémon had decreed that stores must receive their products from distributors on the day of its global release, which meant it unfortunately fell on Friday and wasn't delivered until Tuesday. That is why it took so long for us to get our product to all locations. We are closed Tuesday and Wednesday in Elma, so that is why we are not doing a sync'd release for this drop like last time.
Because of the astounding positive feedback at the Elma location, we will be doing the line-up system with a set release time again.
We will have Pokémon 30th Celebration products available for sale at 10/08 - Thursday 3:30 P.M., with product limits in place.
Important: Sealed Product
We will be breaking the seals on all sealed products, including but not limited to Mini Tin Displays and Booster Bundles. Individual booster packs will remain sealed.
There will be no raffle for this drop, as there are only Mini Tins and Booster Bundles. However, we will not be selling product until 3:30 P.M. to give kids a chance to get into line.
Please Read: Line & Store Rules
Please do not line up inside the store or crowd the store while waiting for the 3:30 P.M. release.
At 3:30 P.M., we will begin allowing 3 customers into the store at a time to purchase their Pokémon items. Customers waiting in line will not be allowed into the store until 3:30 P.M.
You may line up outside the store before the release, provided that the line follows the City's public right-of-way and pedestrian safety requirements.
The line does not start at the front door and must not block or obstruct our entrance or the entrances of any neighboring businesses. Please keep all doorways, entrances, sidewalks, and pedestrian access clear for customers, employees, and the public.
The line will be honored, but we will not tolerate cutting, place-holding, or holding a position in line for someone else of any kind.
We appreciate everyone's understanding as we work to make this release as fair as possible for everyone in our community to enjoy the hobby.
