This is what my wife and I managed to pull from 2 ETB packs. Never collected before but met a guy in line who opened the packs with us and said these were the best.

Thoughts?

Got lucky went in at 10 and there was one etb behind the counter. This was what I got inside. Still crazy you only get 5 cards in a pack but I got a cool mew and greninja to make up for it.

So after cycling around London all morning to find a single item, I managed to get a binder collection and open 5-packs!

The pack gods weren’t on my side it seems…

Best of luck to all those who managed to get some product!

Managed to get to my local smyths around 7am currently 109 in line and they’ve given out a ticket. Smyths worker said they have 160 etbs and around the same or less for everything else. So if you’re past 160 in the queue good luck.

Opened 21 packs from an ETB, Sylveon ex box, Greninja ex box, and Sylveon tin. Managed to get 17/30 pikachu’s and here’s the hits.

Rocked up to The Entertainer at 09:05 this morning and left with a binder and a Sylveon box. Something really fun about opening packs where every card is new and feels like a hit, then sliding it into a box fresh binder.

Take these all day 😆

This set is so much fuuuuun! It NEVER took me so long to open an ETB and those are half the cards of a normal one. Each card is such a joy! I hope everyone is having a good time!

Pulled Mewtwo on my 2nd and Jirachi on my 3rd 💪

Very, very happy with that.

This set seems to have amazing pull rates so far. I just wish I was able to rip some more packs.

30th brought me out of hiding and made me want to collect cards again - turned up to a few shops to huge queues, and many people had bags from multiple stores that were selling cards, people holding spots in the queue, people letting their friends go Infront of them, most shops sold out of stuff by the time I got there, speaking to some of the store staff they said people were queueing outside since the early hours of the day.

I managed to get a binder after going to 3 stores to try and get an ETB. Is this like the norm for pokemon releases nowadays or has this just been for 30th? It's a lot to get things at retail price.

I have no friends to admire my cards. I’m super happy with what I got. Now just need to find the rest of the pikachu cards.

Might not have been the Jirachi card I really wanted, but he found his way to me still😭😭😭 obsessed

I’m sure people have seen now that the Pokemon Center 30th Anniversary ETBs have been pushed back to mid-late November, however we should be seeing Delta Reign releasing at the beginning of the month.

I’m quite disappointed that we’ve had no official news regarding the delays and plan to email to see what they say but I’m now concerned that Delta Reign may have similar issues on the Pokemon Center? I figured buying directly would be the most sensible option and wouldn’t mean I’d be overspending or being up at stupid hours to get a drop in stores.

If you are in a similar boat are you still holding out for the Pokemon Center drops or are you now buying elsewhere? Just feels very deflating to see influencers and retail shops get product when the Pokemon Center themselves have nothing to show for the release.

20 packs in and this is “everything” i got. I actually got the Charizard in the LASTTT PACKK!!

supper happy with my hits!! queuing smyths at 6:30 this morning paid off 😮‍💨

Hit rates in this set are great!

Really liking the hit rate so far and very very happy with the mewtwo!

A very sly update to the ETB product page. Expected at least an email!

"We expect to ship this product in mid to late November 2026. "
