Supply Issues in Singapore

The launch was marked by significant allocation problems globally, and Singapore was no exception. Many collectors reported:

Pre-orders being cancelled or delayed
Booster boxes scalped to $281–$327 (vs $144 MSRP)
Elite Trainer Boxes hitting $100–$200+ (vs ~$60 MSRP)
Only about 10% of collectors securing products at retail during launch week

Local TCG stores including TOG, Games Haven, and CardGaiden saw rapid sellouts. Widespread MSRP availability was not expected until January–February 2026.

Where to Buy in Singapore

For Singapore collectors looking to purchase at reasonable prices:

Pokémon Center Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport
TOG (Toy Or Game) — 9 locations island-wide
Games Haven — Jurong East and Geylang locations
CardGaiden — Rochor Canal Road
Online: TCG.SG marketplace for singles and sealed products

Collecting Strategy

Given the small set size, completing the master set (212 cards total) is more achievable than recent larger expansions. Budget-conscious collectors should focus on the 94 main set cards first, then target specific secret rares rather than chasing the complete 36-card secret rare subset.

The set's compact size also means higher pull rates for chase cards compared to larger sets, making sealed product a better value proposition once prices stabilize at MSRP.
