How soon do you guys think SV will be in stores like Target or a league in a populated place like the Twin Cities?
 
Dreamers had a few boxes this past saturday, so they definetely have them now. Target has them, Misty prolly has them, I assume the source,outpost 2000 also carry them. Target fo sho tho.
 
The set came out today. A friend works there, and he says they sometimes have the set out 2 days b4 its released. It should be there. Remember, PM meh what you get.
 
I was told it would be out in stores at or around August 19th, so yeah, it's out.
Which technically makes the 22nd/23rd no longer technically a "prerelease weekend". =P
 
Wouldn't that just simply be "postrelease"?
 
It's not 100% certain. I have had to wait 2 or 3 days for the newest set to be out on the shelves after the official release date. Whether or not the Target I went to actually HAD them or not is in question, but sometimes they take a little while to shelve them, unfortunately.

You could call wherever you go to look for them, but don't always expect an informed answer about the "newest Pokemon set" from some random person that answers the phone.

Assuming your league place is in a card shop and they regularly stock pokemon, they should definitely have them. They would be worth the call to check, though, if it's kinda far away. This place would be more likely to have them stocked than Target or Walmart would.

Good luck!

yeah, but saying it this way makes them feel stupid for organizing a PRE-release after the release of the set.

Yep. Ours is Thursday :( I'm still going because I'm that desperate to play the game.
 
yeah, this set is gunna have some game-breakers. Garchomp is SP's best friend, Relicanth is Machamp's fish friend, Blaziken finally takes the spotlight from its same-typed generation rival Infernape, not to mention Absol, and other cards.
 
It officially came out today and they had them when I went to league so I bought 4.
 
Just got home from Wal-mart. Nothing. I am going to Target tomorrow.
 
Usually, at least in the mid-west, new sets don't reach commercial super-franchises till a couple weeks after it's released. Your best bid is at gaming stores.
 
Went to K-mart yesterday(Thursday the 20th) and nothing. Kmart tends to be late, but I bet target will have them already. (Problem is, Kmart is the only place selling any cards close enough for me to scooter to)

I went on the 19th and target was a no-go.
 
Our Wal Mart had them on the 18th. I'm not sure about target though. The tins are supposed to be released today, so I'm heading over there after lunch to see if they have them.
 
most super chains around here had them on the release date...all hobby shops I go to had them
