With the release of pokemon mega evolutions I was diligent in calling the store to confirm dates, pricing, and availability of what they would have for sale. I was told they would be selling booster boxes of this set, but they couldn't reveal any pricing to the public. I really just wanted an idea of what to expect to spend on a box to pull money out of savings for it. I was told they believed everything would be at MSRP on release day. after waiting three hours in line to be the second in the store, we were immediately told they would not be selling boxes and limiting product to 1 of each individual item plus a limit of 12 packs. All fine, I completely understand wanting to have product for more customers. We were told the buy a box promos for the enhanced boosters couldnt be sold yet and that they would be used for events instead. Annoying but I get it. Then when they go to ring up everything I start noticing the prices coming up are crazy prices. 90 for ETB, 45 for booster bundle and packs almost 9 a piece. the most packs you could get is 27 and that runs a little over 250. a box of 36 packs at msrp is 160. almost double the price for less packs. I do not reccomend spending money here because they do not in fact care about the actual players or fans of the games and is essentially a price gouging storefront. The prices are always market on release, and they do everything they can to combat people hogging product while keeping prices fair. They have everything you need for games and it won't break your bank to do it. To summarize I DO NOT recommend shopping here. EDIT: I am not affiliated or work for discordia. Blue sky absolutely DOES NOT price things off of the standard market. Instead of using the industry standard of TCG market to price this store uses sites known to have higher market values because they don’t base market on sold product like TCG. It’s extremely concerning that instead of addressing my complaint you immediately go to bashing another shop. To make sure it’s VERY CLEAR, I don’t recommend anyone shopping here. Plenty of your own shops reviews mention how horrible the pricing is at this place. Instead of fixing your actual problem you prioritize profit over players. It’s quite refreshing to see that the response was nothing but blaming another store, so at-least people can see more how scummy this place is.
