When will the Prismatic Evolutions reprint start showing up at retailers? Well, a restock of Prismatic Evolutions should happen soon, say in a couple of weeks. And there are a couple more Prismatic Evolutions products that need to launch like the Surprise Boxes.
But a reprint won’t occur for awhile. There’s no way The Pokemon Company’s printers are not at capacity printing all of the sets that are still active. And there’s the new set, Journey Together, that’s coming up. They’re going to need to print a ton of that too if they want to avoid another Prismatic Evolutions situation.
So a restock should be soon, release of more products is coming up, and a reprint is a little ways off. Regardless of the timeline the fact that The Pokemon Company has committed to printing more product is a nice development that will support the hobby.
Scalpers and hoarders have made it increasingly difficult for hobbyists to collect and play with the cards they want. Scalpers and hoarders have also been turning Pokemon into an alternative investment, one based on shiny cardboard. Which is a pretty unsustainable practice. But whatever.
We’re living through a new Pokemania and I imagine things are only going to get wore as the Team Rocket set approaches.
