  "account": "The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Delta Reign expansion, set to launch on November 6, 2026, marks the final announced Pokémon TCG set for the year. It will continue the spotlight on Mega Evolution Pokémon, reintroducing Mega Rayquaza, last seen in 2015's Ancient Origins. The expansion includes 9 booster packs in the ETB, featuring exclusive promo cards, card sleeves, energy cards, and game accessories. The standard booster box contains 36 booster packs, ideal for maximizing chances of opening chase cards or large pack openings. However, initial pre-orders for the Delta Reign set have caused significant chaos since they went live at the end of September. Queues at the Pokémon Center stretched for 12 hours, with numerous technical issues reported. The shortage of supply suggests the set may be underprinted. Fans are advised to act quickly if they wish to secure a copy. Best places to preorder include Pokémon Center UK and US, TCGplayer, Amazon UK and US, Best Buy, Walmart, Magic Madhouse, Smyths Toys, and Argos.",
