Major Pokémon Center TCG Orders Delayed At The Last Minute

Pokémon Trading Card Game enthusiasts have been experiencing anxiety recently due to the lack of information from The Pokémon Center regarding their orders. The big TCG set, Delta Reign, is set to release on Friday, Nov. 6, but the official Pokémon storefront has not provided any updates on orders. Normally, pre-orders are charged a few days before release, with shipment updates coming the day before launch.

However, in this case, communication about orders is notably absent. There are three main Delta Reign products scheduled for release on Friday: the Elite Trainer Box, Booster Bundles, and Booster Boxes. These products, especially the Elite Trainer Boxes with extra packs and promo cards, are highly sought after by fans and resellers.

UK customers received a notice from TPC about delays for all three items. The company now states that Delta Reign products will ship sometime in mid-November, but no further specifics have been shared. Currently, US customers have not been informed of any issues with their orders. The website of TPC is undergoing extensive maintenance, and fans have reported that the delays are due to an internal mix-up.

Some customers were reportedly asked to reauthorize payments without needing additional information, and the checkout function on the TPC website hasn't worked for nearly a week. While TPC's shipments are delayed, the launch of Delta Reign (and the 30th Anniversary's Ultra Premium Collection) is still going ahead at major retailers. However, local card shops may still face stock delays, which is a common occurrence.
