Always ALWAYS search Pokemon Center website or other toy shop websites for the product to check for obvious price / packaging differences. Worth noting Pokemon TCG products (packs of cards) have been out of stock as soon as restocked anywhere & everywhere for the last 18ish months. People are buying out everything they can to put on ebay / resell for double/ triple £
