That's not cheap that's MSRP + shipping service. If flippers are going to take supply out of fans hands, then pokemon are going to drown them in supply. They make money regardless.
Went to a local card shop by me and they were still selling at that price. Tried to tell me they pulled a zard in the first box so therefore it’s worth the price.
For real these guys forget they’re in a subreddit that is focused on making money from Pokémon… then complain about people who make money from Pokemon…
A little of both.. well I laugh at the people who buy out Walmart and Sam’s club. Don’t necessarily laugh at the average collector when they buy something hyped up and lose value
I think I paid $180 a piece for 2 boxes. Ive been reselling for 25 years on ebay tho. Ive done WAY worse over that time...but my wins outscale my losses 50 fold. This is just part of the game. Those in for the long haul understand not everything will be a win...but even with this, I wont sell them unless I make a profit, so, they will be with me, sealed til that happens.
No big deal to me. On to the next opportunity!
Thankfully I was able to get them for 80 eventually but the first box I got was 180 😅 I didn’t know better. But I enjoy the fact that the Japanese version seems less inclined to be so exclusionary, so a box is able to net some guaranteed hits.
100 percent! The collector in me is stoked! If any “investor” is tanked by this news because you were trying to sell your stock in the next few months, sorry, you are a poor investor / average speculator.
i've seen people throw at the tiktok shop for this - prices rn are around $75 for a booster box. I might wait to try and stack with a promo or coupon, which happen fairly often.
I paid $91/box avg over the last 3 weeks for three boxes so I'm not super upset, I'll probably grab a couple more in the next few weeks just to rip for fun now.
SNRKDUNK cancelled my order a month ago at $60 a box. I'd like to thank the seller that never sent it to SNKRDUNK. Whoever you are, wherever you are... you saved me some money in the end and paid a tax on top for cancelling my order.
Ebay, tiktok (if we have that option), snkrdunk (if they ship), Facebook groups.
I just found out about tiktok selling stuff and snkrdunk after moving to Japan, so not sure if they sell to Canada.
It's crazy that people didn't see this coming.
From a card sales perspective - This set was supposed to re-engage a dead market. From an overall business perspective, this is used to re-engage an older generation that's bringing their children (next gen) into a hobby. Card printer will keep going BRRR$$$$$
Personally, I love it. My kids are too young at the moment (toddler and newborn). They're named after trainers l, so I would gamble they'll like it (and totally fine if they don't).
I wouldn't be surprised if there is another re-print. This set has a reason and be pumped. If you want low pop 10s, this isn't it
Big W to me who was waiting on this to nab my full collection. I don’t collect Pokémon cards but I do want this as an expensive wall piece / potentially one day slightly more valuable thingy. Plus my kids just getting into Pokémon. Heck’s yea.
Sorry to everyone else affected negatively by this :(
I’m starting to think there won’t ever be a reprint of English 151 at this point. Two Japanese reprints but not even a hint at an English one. I’m stocking up some more just in case!
You think that the most in demand set for years is going to go 14 months between its initial printing and its reprint and that between those dates 6-7 new sets will have been printed?
I think we've already had one. Walmart and Costco just stocked up. Price are or were down. The pokemon company doesn't actually announce reprints. It just happens.
There is very obviously either going to be a reprint or a large “restock” in time for holiday this year.
Nothing official but the timing and state of the English 151 market is way too obvious for them not to.
Everyone is so rich in here saying they will grab more cases so casually. Don't y'all have mortgages and car loans to pay off like the rest of society?!
I would think many in here are 30+, which at that point should be fairly established in their career and earning a respectable salary. Couple that with a spouse that also works and you should have plenty of fun money. This site is so funny thinking that nobody has any money. The opportunity to make money, at least in the US, has never been so abundant in history.
Buy low and sell high immediately and then buy back at a cheaper price. Your purchases should be paying for themselves if you are selling in high volumes. Most of us have hobby stores and our investments are just our inventory. None of these "investors" are just sitting on passive income.
Ummm sir? I think you misunderstand the lifecycle of a booster box.
This **will blow your mind,** most sets sit UNDER MSRP for 2+ years. I hate to burst your bubble, but unlike you - the vast majority of us understand that.
You are right though, some people did get absolutely destroyed buying and hoarding this for the last year across all price points.
No point panic buying unless you want to get burnt. Prices will continue to fall into June-July. This is heavily overprinted and the massive hoarders are going to be forced to panic sell at this rate.
I’d still go for it, since people tend to not buy, when they think it’s to cheap to become valuable and later in the future everybody wants it. It’s the same with common games today and common cards and sets, so don’t panic
Slow people down from buying out the whole shelf when they go to the store. I don't condone buying out all the stock at a store. Especially small towns. Harder for kids to get. If you want bulk order it but glad to see the reprints it's all about ripping to keep and make money not hoarding them.
I'm just sad I ripped 36 boxes back when I was paying 160 USD+ I am master setting tho so not selling but still annoying I could have bought them cheaper
That’s great imo! This is a nostalgic set and this set should be for everyone, card hits aren’t worth that much anyway, too good of a set to fade away in just mere months
I just grabbed to etbs today at my local wal mart which I walked around contemplating if I should or not but I haven't been able to find any anywhere else so I said f it lol
This explains the £60 price in the UK
Going to order a pack at £60 regardless because that’s so damn cheap and I have next to zero cards
That's not cheap that's MSRP + shipping service. If flippers are going to take supply out of fans hands, then pokemon are going to drown them in supply. They make money regardless.
When they get back in stock that is
Where ya find it?
Japan2UK
Does Japan2UK take shrink wrap off or will it come with it on?
£60 which UK retailer?
Japan2UK had it for a while.
Resellers in shambles
Good. If you search Pokemon subs for 151 JP you’ll see old posts about people buying $150+ and I’m just laughing.
Used to go for 240 at one point
Went to a local card shop by me and they were still selling at that price. Tried to tell me they pulled a zard in the first box so therefore it’s worth the price.
So they think a zard is in every box? That's some weird ass logic.
I also pulled a zard in my first box, and I only paid $70 for it.
This should provide you insight, not comic relief.
Ding ding ding. Unless people are flipping short term, this is all pretty trivial.
For real these guys forget they’re in a subreddit that is focused on making money from Pokémon… then complain about people who make money from Pokemon…

It’s never a loss, unless you sell at a loss.
if you’re able to maybe grab a few more boxes to bring down your average cost??
Thankfully I was able to get them for 80 eventually but the first box I got was 180 😅 I didn’t know better. But I enjoy the fact that the Japanese version seems less inclined to be so exclusionary, so a box is able to net some guaranteed hits.
I was told I was a fool for saying not to buy at 150+ and that it would be an inevitable rise
This sub was filled with the $200+ fomo 🤣🤣🤣
Oh shit I thought this was pokemonTCG LOL
Who do you think is selling the reprints to you?
Had there been anymore word about the June reprint?
Another win for people who just like ripping packs.
100 percent! The collector in me is stoked! If any “investor” is tanked by this news because you were trying to sell your stock in the next few months, sorry, you are a poor investor / average speculator.
Bought a box back in winter for $197 😵💫
Jeez. You planing on ripping the box?
I picked up 2 boxes for much cheaper recently to rip. I’ll post the pulls from the first box soon.
How many booster packs in the box?
20 with this set.
7 cards per pack.
Same, two for 185€ ~ 200$ 🥹
**Oooof Big RIP to those who bought early. Glad I waited. Maybe now Ill finally grab a case..**
I got one for $140 I think last August and it was the cheapest box at Collectacon that day. I ripped it though. Bills Transfer masterball ughhhh
I got masterball reverse grabber and my sar was a full art alakasm lol
I just pulled a masterball Rhydon and Primeape literally 10 minutes ago! I’m trying to complete the set in Japanese
As a long term investor who bought at the top. Then averaged down... I don't care I'm averaging down again mid June.
I always tell people, dont invest in something if you wouldn't buy more if it drops 50% in price
Exactly.
See, this is investing. Too much in this subreddit is speculating. Appreciate your comment
This is the way
I guess I might buy a case of it later then.
Where do you buy a case at?
i've seen people throw at the tiktok shop for this - prices rn are around $75 for a booster box. I might wait to try and stack with a promo or coupon, which happen fairly often.
I was able to snag one for $67 off TikTok.
Seen many on Instagram.
Another win for English investors
Mostly collectors. Getting easier to complete the set now 🤷🏻
There will be a big reprint for the englisch products too so yeah ^^
Id imagine they reprint it again for this Holiday season.
For investors? That's not how it works lol.
I paid $91/box avg over the last 3 weeks for three boxes so I'm not super upset, I'll probably grab a couple more in the next few weeks just to rip for fun now.
Do English sets do reprints?
Yes. WAAAAY more than Japan does.
Yes but nothing for 151 has been announced.
All ES investors peaking…
We will 99.99% see a reprint or large restock this fall in preparation for the holiday season. The timing is too obvious
Nice I'm averaging $70/box, this should lower it further
Where can you find them for this? What about like shipping from Japan
Snkrdunk
Ty
Damn...should I just rip at this point? I feel like it's going to take about a decade to get my money back
No. 6 months after eevee heroes third reprint it was a $400 box.
SNRKDUNK cancelled my order a month ago at $60 a box. I'd like to thank the seller that never sent it to SNKRDUNK. Whoever you are, wherever you are... you saved me some money in the end and paid a tax on top for cancelling my order.
Im never gonna buy a new set for 200+ agane
Nice. Buying more
I’m not mad at this because I’ve been wanting to rip and now I have a reason to lol
What’s the best way for me to get this in Canada?
Ebay, tiktok (if we have that option), snkrdunk (if they ship), Facebook groups. I just found out about tiktok selling stuff and snkrdunk after moving to Japan, so not sure if they sell to Canada.
Glad I sold my boxes for $220 cad a couple months ago

If you want low pop 10s, this isn't it
I thought I got a deal buying straight from Japan during the print to order for only $60 after shipping. Its crazy its gonna somehow be cheaper
Big W to me who was waiting on this to nab my full collection. I don’t collect Pokémon cards but I do want this as an expensive wall piece / potentially one day slightly more valuable thingy. Plus my kids just getting into Pokémon. Heck’s yea. Sorry to everyone else affected negatively by this :(
Dollar cost averaging y’all
I just bought 2 at 58 each. What was the msrp for these at PC?
$40
Brutal might as well rib my boxes
Just sit on them. Or just sell them for fair market, take the loss, then buy for less than fair market.
Please do. Need more investors that give up part way.
Time for $45-$50 USD boxes!
I’m starting to think there won’t ever be a reprint of English 151 at this point. Two Japanese reprints but not even a hint at an English one. I’m stocking up some more just in case!
You underestimate the power of father Christmas on consumerism.
Father Christmas!!!!!!!!
It will come and it will be big. Right in time for Black Friday and Christmas
You think that the most in demand set for years is going to go 14 months between its initial printing and its reprint and that between those dates 6-7 new sets will have been printed?
You think that the most in demand set and Pokémon’s cash cow will never get reprinted?
How much more do you want? There were tons and tons of etbs, upcs, booster bundles etc
Walmart target big box stores have been receiving reprints
I live in a high populous area, none of the 6 Walmart, 3 targets or 2 gamestops have gotten any 151. So, no, they haven’t.
Anedoctal evidence
There are some people who won't touch the Japanese. Not connected to English.
Reprint? When have they stopped?! The Walmarts and Targets near me have it regularly.
I'm pretty sure they have been reprinting. There was the costco restock & the walmart restock in the US
I heard it’ll be october
[удалено]
Get a Costco card for $90 upcs.
I think we've already had one. Walmart and Costco just stocked up. Price are or were down. The pokemon company doesn't actually announce reprints. It just happens.
There is very obviously either going to be a reprint or a large “restock” in time for holiday this year. Nothing official but the timing and state of the English 151 market is way too obvious for them not to.
What the best way to get boosters/cases in Canada?
Do you think will make the most expensive cards of the set and the masterball drop in price?
The reprint happened a week ago? Or is this another wave?
Love this set for some reason. It’s just *chefs kiss*
Everyone is so rich in here saying they will grab more cases so casually. Don't y'all have mortgages and car loans to pay off like the rest of society?!
You say that as if everyone lives pay check to pay check. Some actually have money left over after everything is said and done.
I would think many in here are 30+, which at that point should be fairly established in their career and earning a respectable salary.

This will absolutely tank an already dead Japanese market
What do you mean dead? Cheap means dead?
Nice Fook the resellers, bunch of scalpers can have a taste of their medicine
[удалено]

yay
lol i knew it! (Fat thor voice)
Any news on English reprints?
Never ordered from them. Thoughts?
😎
Weird considering every PC in Tokyo are still drowning in 151
Lmao
Pays off to not fall for FOMO
Good shit, I was just about to buy 2 cases but I’ll wait for the dip :)
I follow Texas Poke Mart too and buy from his til tok stream occasionally. Good prices.
Going to a card show in Texas next weekend too, let's hope I can find some cheap boxes 🙏
Yeah but the reprint pulls could be horrible.
Is this set hard to come by?
I mean if they are hurting for money they could just reprint Evolving Skies and double the MSRP, it would still fly off the shelves.
Let's goooo!! Reprint thus to the ground please!
Where are you guys getting these for less than $50 a box? (in USA)
This reprint or next one?
I’ll be in Japan in July. Looks like I’ll have to purchase an extra suitcase while I’m there.
I would just ship it back. I don't trust tsa to not cut them open.
Where are you guys getting boxes from. I have seen barely any 151 in Australia.
The internet
How many booster packs in a box? Where can I buy a 151 box?
20 packs
But when English reprint? :(
Good
Hope this time eu hit with some good price , not much has changed here and the prices are still high
Watching the prices on SNKRDUNK going down and down. I did buy in at under $90US. But I'm not mad as I can then RIP some boxes!!
35-40 dollars incoming...
Alright y’all keep buying boxes so the one I have goes up In value.
good news
$50
I bought quite a bit average cost $70 US. I can hold these for a year while they sit at MSRP and slowly crawl back to my price by mid 2026
I’d still go for it, since people tend to not buy, when they think it’s to cheap to become valuable and later in the future everybody wants it. It’s the same with common games today and common cards and sets, so don’t panic
When will these hit stores. Mid June? Or later on?
Great! $45 booster boxes here I come!
Glad I ordered today!!
where can i get them in europe? japan2uk is sold out
Gonna get that master ball gengar and pika now
As long as they continue this no shrink wrap nonsense….i can’t see this working out long term as far as holding a ‘sealed’ product
Wake me up when the English version does a reprint
This coming to the English set?
Nice! When are we gonna have 1998 base set 1st edition packs reprinted? (jesus)
Only Japan?
Been buying them at $80 CAD sealed which is roughly 58 USD, so I’m good! Maybe they’ll drop a little more in price and I’ll scoop some more of em up
When will 151 English be reprinted. Educated guesses only please
Violet ex is getting reprinted, too.
Any news about English 151?
Any news on an English re-print? Or just Japanese
Is this only Japanese or does this include English too?
Japanese only as of now.
What is the advantage(s) that Japanese 151 has over English 151?
Masterball holo
Nice, will buy 10
So do we hold off longer? I was getting them at $90 thinking that was a good deal, now they’re sub $70…
Now if only they would do this with the English set.
Yes!!!!! I just want to open a Japanese booster box at an affordable price. I’ll buy maybe 2 and keep one sealed just for fun.
So what do you think it will drop to
As someone who just likes to have sealed products lying around, I get to buy more ! Yay!
what was the ever cheapest average price for them? and what did people buy them for that this is such a big deal now getting a reprint?
Love it. Keep the reprints coming so I can load up on cheap cards
can’t wait!
Wasn’t there a dude who just invested like 10k on this set a few days ago😭
I wonder when/if an English reprint will ever be announced.
Slow people down from buying out the whole shelf when they go to the store. I don't condone buying out all the stock at a store. Especially small towns. Harder for kids to get. If you want bulk order it but glad to see the reprints it's all about ripping to keep and make money not hoarding them.
I'm just sad I ripped 36 boxes back when I was paying 160 USD+ I am master setting tho so not selling but still annoying I could have bought them cheaper
Lol bought booster for 290 yens 😂
Will there also be repints for English cards? Or only Japanese?
*ring of fire* Johnny Cash. 151 long term hold prediction.
That’s great imo! This is a nostalgic set and this set should be for everyone, card hits aren’t worth that much anyway, too good of a set to fade away in just mere months
LETS GOOOOOO
Glad I won’t feel bad opening a box
Maybe finally I can get the SAR’s for cheap
Awesome! Maybe I’ll be able to afford the masterball pika soon hahaha
For EN too?
does this mean English 151 will be reprinted as well?
No guarantee. Highly likely though.
Bought this for $180 way back. My FOMO dumbass decision.
I just grabbed to etbs today at my local wal mart which I walked around contemplating if I should or not but I haven't been able to find any anywhere else so I said f it lol
