Where to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black, the gothic new set

Check stock at Miniature Market

I'd always prioritize this indie retailer first above all others because it tends to get stick in early, and at a reasonable price. You can see a demonstration by clicking the link, because initial stock seems to have sold out. However, that doesn't mean you should ignore it from here on out. I've found that it often gets more stock in after the fact, and seemingly at random, so visit it often just in case.

Check stock at Walmart

Walmart is surprisingly reliable when it comes to Pokemon TCG stock, and I expect the same to be true of Pitch Black. Sure, those listings will be above MSRP. But you'll struggle to find a more consistent source of cards than this.

Check for stock at TCGPlayer

While the listings tend to be overpriced by virtue of coming from third party resellers, I wouldn't be doing due diligence if I didn't mention TCGPlayer as a valid option. It will always provide a chance to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black, though you'll often be paying over the odds for that privilege. Good in a pinch, in other words.

Check stock at Amazon

Amazon takes longer to get involved than other retailers, but it will be a good place to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black when the time comes. It usually provides a good variety and even though prices are inflated, they're usually on par with competitors.

Check stock at eBay

Much like TCGPlayer, eBay is an option if you're truly up against it when trying to buy Pokemon Pitch Black. But to be frank, I'd never recommend it. It's full to bursting with cheeky resellers charging absurd markups, so is only worth considering as a last resort.

Check stock at Best Buy

This mainstay does always get new Pokemon cards in, but whether you're able to buy them is another matter. It usually slaps a "coming soon" label over the top of its items, and these are very often revealed to be available in store only. It's frustrating to say the least, so I wouldn't rely on Best Buy. There are some exceptions, of course, and a few items do get sold online. But they're not the norm.

Check stock at Target

Does Target get new Pokemon card sets in? Absolutely. Are they always the latest expansions, or consistently available? Sadly, no. I've found Target to be very hit and miss recently, so keep an eye on it but don't trust to hope.

Check stock at Wayland Games

In terms of UK retailers I prioritise, Wayland Games sits near the top of the pile. It often provides cards at a reasonable rate, though these sell out very quickly as a result. That makes it a great place to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black if you're quick.

Check stock at Amazon

It sounds silly to suggest such an obvious choice, but Amazon is genuinely great for Pokemon cards right now. That's because it operates an 'invite by request' system, where you ask for an invitation to buy and may get selected. On the one hand, it's a gamble. But on the other, this allows Amazon to keep prices locked at RRP. Considering how expensive Pokemon can get elsewhere, that's massive.

Check stock at Magic Madhouse

I've seen this reliable indie retailer swoop in with early Pokemon TCG stock more than once in the last few months, so definitely keep it in your back pocket. Items sell out fast here though, so move fast if you see something in stock.

Check stock at Zatu Games

Zatu does usually offer the cards themselves, but it's also started providing prerelease events that will get you a Build & Battle box if you can turn up in person. It's worth considering, at least.

Check stock at Smyths Toys

Smyths tends to have a lot of listings for Pokemon TCG, but I'm always unsure as to whether they're actually available or just up for grabs in store - whenever I select them, they read 'check in store.' Worth checking as a backup, in other words, but not relying on.
