Where to buy Pokemon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1, the highly anticipated new release

✅ Series 1 | $74.99

Walmart has been one of the best options for Pokemon TCG stock recently, and that's the case again here with the First Partner box. All the same, it's worth noting that listings at Walmart are almost always overpriced... and while we don't have a confirmed cost yet, this is probably inflated too.

I know this will get a "well, duh" reaction (which is entirely valid, considering how Amazon sells everything and is the biggest retailer around), but it has been very good at stocking Pokemon in the last few months. Actually, it's consistently beaten the competition for availability... though bear in mind that the listings are likely to be overpriced.

Check stock at Miniature Market

This indie retailer is generally a great source of cards at a reasonable price, but the trouble is, everyone else knows it. That means those products get snatched up quicker than blinking, as was the case here. However, keep an eye on the out-of-stock Series 1, because it might just come back. I've know Miniature Market to do that before now.

Check stock at Best Buy

Best Buy does tend to stock Pokemon TCG products, but I'm not convinced it's the best place to buy Pokemon First Partner Illustrated Collection Series 1. That's because its products are usually listed as "coming soon" before being revealed as in-store only listings.

Check stock at Target

Much like Best Buy, Target isn't tremendously reliable for Pokemon TCG stock. In my experience, you have to get in there early before things sell out.

Check for stock at TCGPlayer

This is usually a good source of offers on hard-to-find TCG products, but the downside is that they'll be overpriced. You're at the mercy of third parties here, so I wouldn't rely on it unless you're happy handing over a small fortune.

Check stock at eBay

I really, really wouldn't recommend shopping for the Series 1 box here because it's full of resellers attempting to fleece you with absurd markups, but I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't mention that it is technically an option. It's just not one I suggest taking advantage of.

Check stock at Pokemon Center

I've not been able to find the set here yet, but honestly, I wouldn't bother anyway. It always sells out faster than the speed of light, so I wouldn't trust you'd be able to grab a copy even if it did turn up.

❓ Series 1 | Check pre-order

It's unclear whether the pack is sold out here, or if it's still to go live with pre-orders. As such, I'd keep a very close eye on the listing above.

Check stock at Zatu Games

❓ Series 1 | Check pre-order

As with Zatu, it's unclear whether this set is out of stock at Smyths Toys or if it'll go live in the not-so-distant future. Keep an eye on it just in case.

Check stock at Wayland Games

I'm not seeing any stock yet for this reliable indie retailer, but it'll almost certainly get the Pokemon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1. It usually has the latest sets at a normal (or close to normal) price, but this means it'll sell out fast. Camp on that page just in case.

Check stock at Amazon

Even though I'm not seeing any sign of it yet, this is still a great option to have in your back pocket. That's because Amazon UK has started running a "invite by request" system that's much, much better than the free for all we've had before. Things are usually available for the standard price too, which is rare these days.

Check stock at Magic Madhouse

There isn't any stock for this here just yet, but when it appears, Magic Madhouse will be a good place to buy Pokemon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1. It doesn't tend to overinflate its prices that much, but this means it'll sell out fast. Speed is of the essence.

Check for stock at TCGPlayer

While you can get hard-to-find cards here, I wouldn't use it for must-have items like this unless you've got no other choice. Its listings are from third parties, so you're at the mercy of their pricing... which is usually very overinflated.

Check stock at eBay

I wouldn't recommend using eBay for Pokemon cards unless you're truly stuck, because it's a hotbed of resellers taking the mick with absurdly inflated prices. Well, most of the time. They don't seem too bad right now, though it's still far beyond RRP.

Check stock at Pokemon Center

While stock for the Pokemon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection box set will appear at the official source, it won't last long. I wouldn't assume you'll be able to get anything here as a result, but it's worth a look just in case.
