Pokemon Center Very Limited Trainers #2 Goods

The Pokemon Centers in Japan just released the extremely popular Pokemon Trainers #2 campaign merchandise. The online shop pre-released the official merchandise 3 days before the Pokemon Centers. Due to the excessive demand, the Pokemon Center online shop servers crashed and were down for approximately 7 hours. When they came back online most of the popular items like rubber straps, metal buttons, most of the Raihan goods and more were already sold out.


To make matters worse, each of the Pokemon Centers had more than 300 people lined up at 8am to receive a ticket with a specific time written on the ticket so they could come back and enter the store at their specific block of 20 minutes of time. You were not able to enter the store without a ticket, even if you wanted to buy other merchandise and not the Trainer goods.

Usually the plush toys that have a limit of 1 per person due to extreme popularity, but this time there was a limit of 1 per person on ALL of the items on the online website (stickers, keychains, everything!!!!!). This was also the case at all of the Pokemon Centers as well.

This time the campaign featured 15 different Pokemon trainers including Raihan, Leon, Piers, Emmet, Ingo, Volkner, N, Allister, Marnie, Gloria, May, Erika, Nessa, Bea & Serena.

There was a total of 10 different trainer plush toys, 14 rubber straps, 5 file folder sets, 14 acrylic stand keychains, 2 sketch books, 14 stickers, 19 metal buttons, Raihan poncho (2 sizes), Leon hat, 14 random candy tins, 14 random t-shirts, 14 guest towels, 8 Nintendo Switch covers, 3 iPhone 11 cases, 3 iPhone X/Xs covers, Marnie leather bag and a Kabu towel (selling date delayed).

Because these items were nearly impossible to get, most sellers are not even selling them, but you can still find the best selection on the official Pokevault website while supplies lasts.

There are plushies of Pikachu, Zeraora and Electivire, but for some reason they decided only to make 2 mascots – Pikachu and Zeraora. There are also 6 different socks, 7 different acrylic keychains that are sold in random packs, 2 pin badges, 6 stickers, 2 towels, 2 iPhone covers, tshirts, cookies, various stationary items and more.

There was also a real electric guitar available in VERY limited quantity. The Pokemon Center near me only had 3 and they sold out in one day!!!! These items were very popular, so they will not last too long. But dont worry, you can still get them on Pokevault while supplies lasts. There was also 6 different random guitar pick keychains that you could receive at the Pokemon Center if you spent $40 or more.

Pokemon Trainers Campaign Plushies Released

The 2019 Pokemon Trainers Campaign (part 2) was released in Japan on August 31, 2019. It featured 12 Pokemon trainer plushies and iPhone 6/6s/7/8 cases.

Part 2 also featured the same 6 female Pokemon trainers (Rosa, Cynthia, Elesa, Dawn, Skyla & Pokemon Nurse) as well as the same 6 male Pokemon trainers (Red, Green, N, Steven, Lance and Hiker).

BUT…… To everyones shock, Pokemon Center made a limit that you could buy of 2 of each of the trainer plushies per person. This left several websites scrambling to cover their pre-sold orders.

Most of the trainer plushies sold out within hours the first day, some like Steven sold out in less than 2 minutes. Eventually the Pokemon Center online store restocked with no limit, but many of the plushies sold out again within just a few hours of restocking.  Even most of the iPhone cases are now sold out.

BUT, THE GOOD NEWS IS…… Although most of the items are sold out, Pokevault still has them in stock. Dont miss out!!! They will sell out soon and the prices will increase as they become more difficult to find.

Thunderbolt Project Black Pikachu Large Plushies REAL VS. FAKE!

The Thunderbolt Project Black Pikachu was a collaboration between FRGMT and Pokemon. It featured Pokemon designs by  Hiroshi Fujiwara.  The event was held on October 20, 2018, in Tokyo. At the event there was tshirts, sweatshirts, bags, and more for sale. The Black Pikachu plushies were used for displays, but were never put up for sale. When the event was over, they were given to some staff and other people with ties to the event. There were 2 versions:

STANDING VERSION

SITTING VERSION

The plushies are a jet black color and are quite large. Each plushie comes with a Thunderbolt Project drawstring bag

The tush tag has a red and black Thunderbolt Project logo on the front.

And the Thunderbolt Project logo on the back.

Some of you might have seen these on Ebay or Amazon for very cheap. UNFORTUNATELY those are fakes/bootlegs.

The authentic Black Pikachu is much larger than the fake one and the color should be jet black. The fake Pikachu is gray. In addition to the fake Pikachu having an oddly oval shaped head, you will also notice that the tush tag is different.

And this is where it just gets downright embarrassing for the makers of this fake.

They put a Pokemon Center tag on it. It was NEVER for sale at the Pokemon Center. And the tag says 2016!!!! The event wasnt even until 2018.
I made a video showing the difference between the authentic Pikachu and the fake Pikachu.


There was VERY few authentic Black Pikachus made, so they wont be around for long. You can find them on Pokevault while supplies lasts.
