What??? Platinum Arceus is released YESTERDAY in the Netherlands?

[pkmntrainerpaul]

Saturday was the first Platinum Arceus Pre-Release of the Netherlands.
Yesterday, I went to a shop in the Netherlands,and this is what I saw:
3 Booster Boxes Platinum Arceus, and Blisters, and decks!
That stupid store was not meeting the arrangements for the release of this expansion.
I mean, why are we holding PRE-releases if some stupid stores do something like this?
Did this happen in an other country as well?

No Not In The Uk That I Know Of.
But Lucky You Did You Get Any?
​

 

[pkmntrainerpaul]

Yes, I bought a blister.
I was quite happy with it, because I got an Arceus (AR9) and Tangrowth Lv X!

 

[spastman]

on the place where you can buy them, have they also hold a prerelease there?

Normally, Arceus is in stores from yesterday (4/11), but shops where they hold prerelease do this a bit early, because they have the cards for the shop together with the cards of the prerelease...

 

[Mudkipable]

Well, that's stupid.

They did the same thing with SV, but that was because of the world cups. Can't wait to see what excuse they have for this.

 

[spastman]

Not only with SV, but by all the series they did

Well spastman, the Pre-Release wasn't at the store where they sold Arceus sunday.
Maybe you know the Bart-Smit? That store sold it.

Off-Topic: Yesterday I bought a Platinum Arceus Poster Box!
That one wasn't sunday at the store!!!

 

[spastman]

Hmm, that's special...

Theres a store in Brussel, and there they also have cards a week early, but they import them from america, so mayby the same thing?

 

[pkmntrainerpaul]

I think so.
I don't know another way this store can get these cards so early.
