To Our Valued Community,
Like many of you, we’ve watched with growing frustration as scalpers and resellers have turned the hunt for Pokémon products into a disheartening scramble. It’s taken the joy out of the experience for everyone, ourselves included, and it’s pushed us to take a hard look at how we engage with the Pokémon TCG moving forward.
We’ve seen prices rise to a point where even some distributors are now charging above MSRP in B2B transactions, surpassing the very resellers we’ve all criticized. That’s not just disappointing; it’s unheard of. We hold Asmodee responsible for cultivating an environment where market monopoly thrives, leaving them as the primary beneficiary while deciding who gets a seat at the table and who gets locked out. The result? A once-stable European market has been upended, seemingly for their sole gain. Their recent acquisition of Blackfire GmbH only deepens our concern, shrinking the market further and reducing competition at a time when we need it most.
We do not sell English Pokemon TCG
We do not sell TCG through our webshop
We do not buy from resellers (scalpers)
We will not be responding to inquiries regarding:
- Stock availability
- Restock dates
- Reservations or holds
- Selling or trading items to us
We appreciate your understanding and your continued support as we navigate these challenging times, and promise we're working our hardest among Japanese and Korean retail partners, to provide you with a stable and decent assortment of cards.
Kind regards
-Team Chuo
