POKÉMON’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY SET ANNOUNCEMENT!
The worldwide release is Wednesday, September 16th, and we are incredibly excited to celebrate 30 YEARS of Pokémon with our community!
There is just one important thing to know about release day...
Pokémon gives stores Release Rules which stipulate that stores will not receive this product until the official release date. Our shipment is expected to arrive Wednesday afternoon, but UPS has the final say on when that truck rolls into town.
So please do not make the trip at 10 AM Wednesday expecting the new products to be on the shelves. We’d rather save you the trip and the disappointment!
ACTIVE POKÉMON PLAYERS GET FIRST DIBS!
As a THANK YOU to the Pokémon TCG community that continues to support our store and our events, we are inviting the Pokémon players of the current season to come out:
🗓️ Wednesday, September 16th
⏰ 6:00 PM
Assuming our shipment has arrived, these Pokémon TCG players will have the first opportunity to purchase the new 30th Anniversary products Wednesday evening.
Then...
THURSDAY = GENERAL RELEASE!
🗓️ Thursday, September 17th
⏰ When we open at 10am
Any remaining product will be available to everyone!
In-store purchase limit:
1 of each product line per customer
This limit will apply Thursday and beyond and is based on whatever product we actually have available.
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT SEALED ETBs
To help keep the in-store release focused on players and collectors, sealed ETBs purchased in-store will be cut at the time of purchase.
If you're buying an ETB online, your ETB will have its original factory seal intact.
We know most of our players are opening these products anyway, so the seal isn't going to stand between you and those packs!
Online pricing will be set close to current market pricing, while our in-store release will be focused on giving our local Pokémon community a fair opportunity to enjoy the 30th Anniversary celebration.
As always, thank you for supporting Keepin’ It Sleeved and helping us build a place where you can find your people.
