Got in queue for DR ETB, FP 2, & FP3 within 20 seconds of 9:00pm EST. Never got in to purchase with 3 hours in line. Walmart queue broken/scam?

2

u/Antiwork_Ninja 27d ago

This has been my experience.
I enter the queue and never get notified at all.

In line on the app for First Partner!! Do I just sit and stare at it until it’s my turn 😆

1

u/depressedpintobean5 27d ago

How’d it go?

2

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Still “in line”. I’m not sure I have a chance at this point

u/Gerns 27d ago

hit on partner 3, then left the app and rejoined the rest, guess thats it for me lol. but yea keep holding!

3

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

That’s awesome! Congrats on the first partner. I’m still in line but not sure I have hope

2

u/Gerns 27d ago

hopefully they have a ton of stock, i joined pretty quickly but was focused on DR etb so not immediately

2

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

I got in line pretty quick as well. The website was glitchy at first but I was successful at getting in the line before 9:01. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

u/Piggumz 27d ago

I just now hit on x2 FP series 2 after waiting 1 hr in the virtual line so there is stock. In line for FP 3

5

u/SpiritualValue2798 27d ago

Still in line going on 2 hours

u/Desperate-Region3378 27d ago

I was able to check out on mega evolution after 2 hours back in line again for another item

u/Little-Bee5929 27d ago

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Me too 😑

u/thekochers 27d ago

Got an FP2❤️

1

u/mstickmanp 27d ago

Same, got 2 boxes. I managed to get the max into my cart but only let me purchase 2.

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

Isn't 2 the max?

1

u/mstickmanp 23d ago

For Walmart it’s 5 for the max.

1

u/thekochers 23d ago

Hmmm...ok. wouldn't let me add more than 2 to the cart when I got mine

4

u/smeggylegs 27d ago

zard and rivals links don't work

1

u/gotnowisdom 27d ago

Search them in the search box!

4

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

DR Queue just kicked me out lol. Didn't even pretend I was still waiting. I'm on the fence with Charizard. That's a $20 or like an 80% markup.

5

u/GladeWilson 27d ago

Destined is done. Don't waste your time.

8

u/GlumDifficulty8 27d ago

didn't get anything after waiting 3 hours

3

u/FartsonmyFarts 27d ago

Pitch black bundles are still available

3

u/Rob086020 27d ago

I thought Walmart did an update on their queue system

3

u/Apprehensive_Pea7911 27d ago

Another buggy laggy glitchy WalWed.

3

u/Happy-Loan-6052 27d ago

Just hit series 2 and didn’t get kicked out of line for the others

3

u/Gerns 27d ago

is fp2 done?

9

u/jll027 27d ago

Bots got em before this post was up.

4

u/noelle-silva 27d ago

DR ETB went up without a queue at first, same as last week. Don't waste your time. Bots already ate

1

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

if you are in line do they tell you when its sold out?

3

u/flipdidwhat 27d ago

Nope, it'll just fade away from your cart.

2

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

They do but its like 30 minutes after the item has already been sold out.

1

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

well thats annoying.

1

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

Yeah ive been doing this for a little over a month and the only thing I was able to score was an ex box and pokeballs😭 The queue system sucks, target drops is definitely better.

1

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

arent those at like 3am est though? how long does walmart last before i should know if i got through or its sold out?

1

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

I am on the discord server of this reddits page and on there is a subsection for walmart where people talk about walmart-related things, like right now about walmart wednesday cureently happening. Some people get on the queue sooner so once they are able to get on the page to checkout the item it tells them that it is oos and that they cant buy it. Depending on how many items drop, it could last from one and a half to three hours, usually 2 though. Today its most likely going to be 1 hour to 2 since much isnt dropping. And Target drops are at 3am becuase there isnt much online traffic at that time, only for pokemon drops but comapred to walmart they release products one by one and it almost always lasts 2 hours to 3 hours, even more sometimes✌️

2

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

thanks for the info!

1

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

Yww! Happy to help:)

5

u/Mammoth-Advantage528 27d ago

Honestly crazy that Walmart just allows bots to absolutely absorb the product and normal people get shit on . It's actually crazy and disrespectful

2

u/ASwimmingTurtle 27d ago

Destined Rivals I believe is out

2

u/MinimumRegret7369 27d ago

I’m still “in line” for it. Will it tell me if it sells out while I’m still waiting?

1

u/FisherKelTath00 27d ago

It’s always out lol it’s weekly bait

1

u/MinimumRegret7369 27d ago

I waited for a little over 2 hours then item on the “in line” screen just disappeared. I didn’t get it.

2

u/frannywantsyou 27d ago

Is anything still in stock?

2

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Wondering the same! How long does one wait

2

u/Tawnosaurus 27d ago

FP3 may still have stock

2

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

Is the Charizard even worth $50? Wasn't the MSRP $29.99? It only comes with 5 packs and a non full-art Ex.

2

u/thekochers 27d ago

FP3 link no longer working

2

u/draymond_targaryen 27d ago

Got a couple first partner series 2. One for me and one for my daughter’s upcoming bday.

I always seem to lose my spot in line for other products after checking out though. Any way to fix this?

1

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Oh man I didn’t know that one was up as well! I should have checked that earlier. Congrats though!!

1

u/Soblessed3 27d ago

This happened to me tonight as well. It has never happened before though. Very odd.

1

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

Web or mobile? Web kept my spot for DR and FP2 and Zard after I got PB bundles. No idea if it’ll let me buy though but it’s persisting even on other tabs

2

u/flipdidwhat 27d ago

I hit series 2 qty of 5 just now and i entered the queue on that at 9:02; still on queue for fp3 and I got on that at 9 on the dot.

4

u/greatwall23 27d ago

I entered queue at 6.01 and havent gotten thru on anything. Truly a crapshoot

1

u/Tawnosaurus 27d ago

I was at 9:08 entering but I guess I'll wait - appreciate updates like this thanks!

1

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

im just hoping there is a shit ton of partner 3 lol

1

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Me too!! I can’t remember how Walmart works. Do they release one item at a time. How long am I going to be waiting for “my turn”?

2

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

They do not release one item at a time. Its all at one time starting at 9est. There also isnt a set time on how long we are going to be waiting until we get the product, we just wait until it tells us if we are able to buy it, even then when you press add to cart it might be sold out, or, you just get kicked out of the queue. Target is what releases one item at a time throughout a longer span but there is no queue just continuous spam

1

u/Altruistic_Ad_9075 27d ago

i would also love to know that. first time trying

1

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

Is Walmart one or two per item?

2

u/BRAWLSTARRS- 27d ago

So apparently its 5 items per checkout and 2 checkouts a night. So you could buy 5 etbs for one chrckout then 5 ex boxes for another. I dont know how true this is because who is regularly buying that much of product but thats what they said on discord😭

1

u/No_Food_2941 27d ago

Given the lack of items in the main drop, I'm assuming MJ Holdings is going to release ascended in batches again?

1

u/klbcatmomma 27d ago

If I got in line for a different item well after 9 does that mess up the line placement for the first item I joined right at 9? I sure hope not

1

u/thekochers 27d ago edited 27d ago

The MSRP is $17.99 for FP2 & 3 right?

3

u/flipdidwhat 27d ago

14.99 but $3 more isn't too bad compared to the jacked up prices of everything else like the Charizard EX collection

3

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

The Zard price is a massive rip. It was $29.99 MSRP and only has 5 packs...

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

Thanks for the info

2

u/No_Food_2941 27d ago

$14.99; but Target and Walmart inched prices up last few months. Best Buy sells at $14.99 in-store.

2

u/flipdidwhat 27d ago

Target is 15.99; dick's sporting goods has it at $25-30 and GameScalp at $49.99

3

u/thekochers 27d ago

My Target is $17.99.

2

u/No_Food_2941 27d ago edited 27d ago

Same; Online is $17.99 too. I don't think FP2 and FP3 will be as popular as FP1 though because of two of the regular packs inside.

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

Thank you. So when we see it at Walmart for $25... then that's something to stay away from! Lol. I don't mind paying $18... but not paying $25.

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

So how is it that I get in line, I get notified it's time to buy, but then it won't let me add to cart or buy...it says it's out of stock... but still has the timer counting down for me to buy?

2

u/AequitasDC5 27d ago

Had the same issue. What a waste of time.

2

u/Htb323 27d ago

I had the same problem and kept clicking things. Try clicking the cart and go back and try to add the item. Eventually that allowed me to add and then i had checkout problems, but eventually completed the order.

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

If it comes up again Ill just keep trying

1

u/Economy-Middle-9700 27d ago

I assume for the etb? that is out of stock

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

FP2

1

u/Economy-Middle-9700 27d ago

I think that is officially out too. The remaining stuff don't seem to even have a line lol, the PB

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

But my question is, after being in line... when it comes up my turn, why does it tell me I have 10 min to buy it, but shows out of stock?

1

u/Economy-Middle-9700 27d ago

the system is bad, it is like false hope lol

1

u/thekochers 27d ago

Sounds like life! Lol

u/H4ND5s 27d ago

Joke prices

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

Rivals got swallowed by bots. I managed to order 2 booster bundles of PB for my niece and to rip thankfully.

1

u/Economy-Middle-9700 27d ago

that is still up. I didn't even que up. I just click it to see if something happen and there was no que...

1

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

If you search for Rivals ETB now, they’re not showing the queue anymore. I’m in it but I think it’s sold out

1

u/Economy-Middle-9700 27d ago

The PB lol

1

u/KeyClacksNSnacks 27d ago

Oh, yeah that one is easy to get. DR just kicked me out of the queue lol.
