Hi everyone,
Just a reminder for the 30th celebration tomorrow and also please be nice to our staff tomorrow ❤️
Happy pack opening tomorrow
We've had a few questions around the Pokémon 30th Celebration release at Hobby Lords Tauranga and wanted to address them all in one place!
When does 30th Celebration Release?
Products will be released in 5 different waves throughout the rest of the year, with the first wave releasing on September 16th, 2026. Additional products will be released on October 2nd, October 30th, November 6th and December 4th. pokemon.com has posted a product showcase with the release dates of each product: https://www.pokemon.com/us/news/pokemon-tcg-30th-celebration-product-showcase
So, what products will be released on September 16th, 2026?
The products releasing in Wave 1 on September 16th, 2026: Elite Trainer Box, Ex Boxes, Poster Collection, Knock Out Collection, and Tech Sticker Collections.
When can I pick up my pre-order?
It depends! If you pre-ordered a product that is releasing in Wave 1, you can pick up your order on or after September 16th. Just remember to bring your receipt as proof of purchase!
Pre-ordered products will be available for pick up as each wave is released. If you're wondering what date your product will be released, feel free to ask us in store or check out the Pokémon Product showcase: https://www.pokemon.com/us/news/pokemon-tcg-30th-celebration-product-showcase
Will there be any limits on release day?
We are limiting all the Pokémon 30th Celebration products to ONE ITEM PER PERSON. We want to keep this fair and give everyone a chance to get something!
If you have any other questions, pop by our shop or send us a message on Facebook. We're always happy to help!
