Where to buy Pokemon TCG Perfect Order, the brand-new set based on Z/A

This indie retailer is the most reliable source of offers at a reasonable price, at least in my experience; you can usually get cards from Miniature Market at a normal (or close to normal) price. However, they don't last long, so you'll need to keep checking in on it ahead of launch.

It sounds obvious to give Amazon a hat-tip, but the mega-store is a good source of new Pokemon cards... so long as you're happy paying inflated prices. Unfortunately for us, these items are always more expensive than MSRP. Still, there seems to be a lot of it, so we're looking at a case of swings and roundabouts here.

This retail staple can be a funny one when it comes to Pokemon TCG stock; it doesn't always sell everything online, instead offering many in-store-only purchasing options. However, it does get some online deals, so Best Buy is well worth keeping in the back pocket. As a case in point, it currently has a "coming soon" listing for the Elite Trainer Box...

As another of the USA's big retailers, it won't come as a surprise that Target is a reliable source of Pokemon TCG sets. These are also commonly available for normal (or close to normal) price, but they tend to arrive in drips and drabs. They disappear quickly as well, so move fast here.

Much like Amazon, Walmart typically gets new Pokemon sets in ahead of launch - but they're always overpriced. I tend to find that they're even more expensive than competitors, but they often have more variety.

You'll be able to get collections, boxes, boosters, and single cards from this TCG-focused retailer, but because they're sold by third-parties, you can be left at the mercy of resellers and markups. It excels if you're trying to find a specific card, but it isn't ideal so far as larger products go.

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't mention that eBay has Pokemon TCG sets available, so will definitely offer Perfect Order pre-orders when the time comes. However, these are sold by third parties so typically come with wildly inflated prices. Want an example? Folks are already flogging Perfect Order products that aren't even available anywhere yet.

You'll be able to find Perfect Order pre-orders from the official manufacturer, but they'll get snapped up quicker than a speeding Ponyta. Unless you're hyper-organized and/or lucky, you're likely to struggle with this one.

This indie retailer should be your go-to for Pokemon stock ahead of launch, because it always offers each product for the normal price. Unfortunately, these items are snapped up quickly as a result. I suspect it'll be the same for Perfect Order pre-orders, so camp here and hope you get lucky.

While it seems like an obvious answer, Amazon is one of the most reliable sources of Pokemon TCG stock. Just bear in mind that each item will be overpriced, and they might not become available for a while. That means you will find Perfect Order pre-orders here, but they might not be timely or the best value.

This toy store is very good at securing the latest Pokemon sets, but everyone knows it. That means stock runs out incredibly fast, so keep a close eye on this one. Don't forget to visit in person, either.

Check stock at Smyths Toys

This retailer tends to get Pokemon TCG stock in ahead of launch, but often it's a little later than the competition. A good backup, in other words.

Check stock at Zatu Games

This is one of the stores that tends to get Pokemon TCG stock in... albeit much later than everyone else. I wouldn't rely on it as a result, but check in every now and then just in case.

Check stock at Magic Madhouse

You can always rely on the official Pokemon store to offer sets at the proper price, but those items get snapped up fast enough that I wouldn't hope to secure any of them. Keep tabs on it, but don't assume you'll get anywhere unless you're very quick and/or lucky.
