Where to buy Pokemon Destined Rivals before resellers snap up the latest TCG set

Uh oh, a couple of Walmart's listings have leapt up in price since I checked them yesterday. Considering how the items in question were already overpriced, that's not exactly great news.

Listings with a 'coming soon' label appeared a while ago at Best Buy (though a Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Box just joined the lineup), so watch them like a hawk. I hope they go on sale as promised; in the past, stock has been limited to in-store sales.

How does Amazon still not have Destined Rivals pre-orders? It boggles the mind. The only thin I can see is the Japanese version, Hot Air Arena. Well, sort of. This isn't a like-for-like equivalent of Destined Rivals, but it shares a lot of the same DNA (Japanese sets are always divided up versions of the US/UK releases). That'll have to do for now, but it's entirely possible we'll get movement on May 30 because that's when GameStop will apparently go live.

Well well, GameStop may be getting Destined Rivals stock again sooner than anticipated. Although the retailer added a little statement a couple of weeks back that more units would arrive on May 30, a couple of items (the Elite Trainer Box and Booster Box) now have a 'coming soon' label. Does that mean pre-orders will go live again? I'm not sure, but it's worth keeping an eye out regardless.

This independent retailer went live with Destined Rivals stock pretty darn quietly. As a result, all available products were snapped up in short order and are now labelled 'out of stock.' The prices haven't shifted around at all... yet. Though the company has added a statement at the bottom of listings around the speedily rising China-US tariffs. It's notes that "preorders may be subject to additional charges" but it will "always try to keep our prices as low as possible".

Target hasn't been very good in terms of Pokemon TCG stock recently, but that changed with Destined Rivals pre-orders. The units went live earlier on, and the retailer's allocation is already gone. Hopefully more arrive soon.

Zavvi hasn't been so great when it comes to Pokemon Destined Rivals pre-orders. It was the same score for Prismatic Evolutions, too. We've not seen any listings but have added the search results below so you can keep an eye on them.

Destined Rivals pre-orders went live a little while back now, and in news that will surprise no one, they've vanished instantly into the long grass. It's worth keeping an eye on those listings in case they return, but I suspect our best bet will be alternate retailers listed below.

I've not seen any Pokemon Destined Rivals pre-orders at Amazon for UK folk yet, but I can feel 'em coming. We'll hopefully start to see stock arrive soon. Keep these ones bookmarked, because it'll be gobbled up fast.

Zatu had put up a handful of listings with 'coming soon' labels that list the go-live date as May 30, so keep this indie retailer under close scrutiny. Especially since there have been a few reductions since last I checked... The Booster Box in particular has seen a massive reduction though it's still at an inflated price.

Wayland Games unexpectedly received stock, but it was predictably snaffled up. Considering how some items were listed at a discount, that isn't surprising.

As you might have guessed, Pokemon Destined Rivals pre-orders were snapped up the moment they went live. They could come back in the not-so-distant future thanks to another wave of stock, but I'd watch out for other retailers in the meantime.

Well, will you look at that; the indie retailer got a wave of stock on most items under the radar, and promptly sold the lot. A few products never made it to the digital shelves, so hopefully those will be here soon.

Zavvi's been very unreliable for Pokemon TCG stock recently, so I'm hoping that changes with Destined Rivals pre-orders. I'm not holding my breath, though.
