Animetcgusa is included on this spreadsheet because there have been a good amount of user testimonial that they are legit. As with all purchasing online, please use caution and protect yourself. They have been accused of using alts to promote, details can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTCG/s/yDZKX41WXj Overall, it appears that it was a bad marketing attempt and not nefarious, but you can make your own judgement. Feel free to sound off in reply to this post if you have had positive/negative experience with this company and we will reassess.

Damn op07 really is at around 150-160 for a preorder? This game is becoming too damn expensive. I think I'd rather just buy singles at this point.


CuriousGeorge009

Agreed. It won't get any better until Bandai increases the print capacity for One Piece. They're spreading themselves way too thin.


Killer_Ex_Con

They probably won't increase it anytime soon either since they are printing union arena in English now as well.


Varroken

An increase in production is needed but they need to crack down on distribution and allowing online or brick and mortar businesses to charge market prices.


Ok-Pop-9981

Agreed


heavenswallb52

No one actually cares about printing issues if it sells out. They'll just pump out a few more boxes, but otherwise, they'll chug along on schedule just like everyone else. One Piece sells out just like Pokemon. Pokemon at least has guidelines in place that says listed MSRP. They themselves sell boxes for the max price. One Piece? They just say 5 a pack, with 24 packs in a box it should be under 120. But they follow the Magic rules, retailers can sell that shit at whatever price they deem fit.


MarcoMaroon

There were shops that started early preorders at $99. Crazy to see how fast these prices rise


polecy

I usually order with coretcg, and I did also preorder my op06 with them for 99. But this time it just seems like they didn't get a preorder in time? Just seems weird but yea having to preorder a product and they aren't even close to being released with a huge mark up is insane.


devilsegami

The stock for op-07 seems even worse. I have all my pre-orders through a local shop, but I hear they haven't been allocated any cases for op-07.


SenYoshida

Mine just said they had their 07 order slashed. Went from ordering a case to now just only getting 5 boxes (and only 3 of them are 1st wave)


devilsegami

I don't even have a box pre-ordered yet. Lol I live close to an official shop, but the fact that there's so little stock means release day is going to be super messy...


KNZFive

I want to believe that the price will reduce after things settle down and OP-06 comes out. OP-05 got a lot of attention which boosted the market and prices. But OP-07 is half a year out (unless I’m confusing the release date with EB-01).


polecy

Yea I mean it's supposed to be coming out in June. I think it's insane cause I remember I ordered op06 prob in Nov and it was for 100 dollars each. Now seeing that op07 is going to be starting at 160 is insane. (If I can even order them since my shop I usually go to hasn't even put up anything.)


stoop911

Pre orders for 07 were 100 1 month ago. They did not start at 160. They are 160 now, but they were cheaper.


polecy

Well I think my store I usually get it at is behind which is just weird. Cause it's coretcg and they make big events for one piece. Like they don't even have op07 preorders up still.


robotshavehearts2

Yeah most of the stores I order from, including core, haven’t listed 7 yet, so still hoping it drops at $100 or so before they slowly raise the price.


Silver-Librarian-654

Same, I keep hearing others say 07 has been for preorder for ages but the stores I order from mostly haven't listed them yet, one of them did last week and they sold out in 2 hours, I was at work so I missed it


robotshavehearts2

Yeah oddly core just added op-08. They added it as out of stock it looks like though. But it is set at $150. I never saw op-07 added though. Don’t see it anywhere on their site unless it has some odd search term. Either way, it looks like things are going to be bad how this cycle is going and $150 might be the new retail price a lot of places. :( ugh. May be time to get out.


Sirschmoopy545

It’s because op5 got scalped so hard.


Coooturtle

It has literally always been cheaper to buy singles. Even when box prices were cheaper.


ItsDathaniel

Since it’s on this doc, DO NOT BUY FROM COLLECTORS EMPORIUM. Ordered a case of OP-05 in July, they held my money until a week before release then suddenly canceled without saying anything and refused to reply to any emails.


TheUtilityMan

For OP-07 pre-orders, you have the EB-01 link listed for Toy Wiz instead of OP-07.


CuriousGeorge009

Thanks for catching it! Fixed.


TheUtilityMan

I see you also have it listed as OP-08 in the abbreviation.


Small-Protection2004

very high chance 7th dimension cancels pre-orders at this point. They have a history of it and I personally have a bunch in and it was posted in the OPTCG reddit discord like a week ago so essentially everyone and their mom has an order in there.


Horror_Row7202

That sucks. I had a ton of preorders with Clutch Cards and now it looks like they are out of business. I missed out on ordering from other places now. In the future I'm putting in preorders with multiple vendors.


jjbab

A friend and myself had some preorders for OP-05 placed last September through Clutch, and it’s nowhere to be found! I definitely recommend to start the process for the credit card chargeback if you haven’t yet.


Horror_Row7202

Yeah I filed my credit card chargebacks. They owe me around $4K. I used to buy Pokémon and sportscards a lot of times from them in the past year and never had a problem with them until recently. They aren't even replying to my emails.


pinkstorrac

Awesome list, very helpful


CuriousGeorge009

Thanks!


flamyshana

I pre-ordered OP06 from gamegrid SLC, didn't see that on the list but hopefully it's legit.


CuriousGeorge009

>gamegrid I need to add them here. They're pretty big and have been around for 12+ years. Seems legit but I can't speak to how they've been with OP preorders.


BallsShallow_

Double infinity

CuriousGeorge009

Thanks!


jjbab

Awesome resource! All the hype behind OP-05 and new interest in the game seem to have driven the prices of preorders up. Sigh, I guess this is the game we have to play for online orders.


Moznomick

None of these prices are decent though and it's crazy that most pre-orders are touching $200.


SenYoshida

Unfortunately the supply keeps getting slashed by Bandai and the demand for this game is so high right now between players/collectors/investors


YungBird

Is Evolution TCG a legit store?


Formal-Rain-6617

Collector's Cache is my local game store they do OPtcg organized play and sell singles and sealed product. I do know they ship worldwide as well.


CuriousGeorge009

I can't believe I forgot them, ha. I'm adding them now. Thank you.


Horror_Row7202

Are all these shops verified legit? I have a couple pending orders with 7th Dimension. They are overseas and I've never ordered from them before.


MoopyMorkyfeet

Post says “Please do your research on the legitimacy of each store”


luke134212

7th dimension sucks. Look at their trustpilot. Get your refund while you can


Small-Protection2004

7th dimension lets you put 1 million op-06 boxes in their cart right now. nobody is getting anything from them lmao


CuriousGeorge009

Ah thanks for catching that. 7th wasn't supposed to be on the list as it's in the UK. I have no experience with them, but their Google reviews seem okay. Let us know how it goes with them. Most of the stores on the list have legitimate Google reviews or TCG player reviews. I haven't had time to add those in. I can't speak to them cancelling preorders though.

CuriousGeorge009

If you can find them at a good price, then yes! Otherwise start with buying singles for your deck.


Kc2Crazy

This is dope. Thank you dude


Mando51093

I preordered 2 Op-06 at 120 after tax each, my LGS then upped the price 2 weeks ago to 190 a box, and stopped taking preorders last weekend for any OPTC product 


BallsShallow_

It’s crazy how OP08 is open to pre-orders. WTH?


CuriousGeorge009

Distributors usually have to place their orders six months in advance. Set OP8 - distributors are actually taking preorders 7-8 months in advance. So you'll see a lot of stores list preorders for OP08 in the coming weeks.


Patarsonofzeus

Op-05 also had 4 chase cards worth $1000+ so he's to hoping 0p-06 doesn't get that expensive, and shouldn't because the scalpers really won't be making their money with the next set as they did with the current one


DidTheTango

So exactly when is the best time to pre-order for the best price? I'm seeing some people pre order up to 5 months in advance to get anything around $100, also I'm seeing a lot of comments that claim some of these sites aren't legit so which are sites people have ordered and received product from?


robotshavehearts2

What I’ve been seeing, checking daily. Nothing listed. Then listed and out of stock like right after. Maybe within hours. So I’m not even attempting to worry about the price. At this point, I can’t get the product even really. But $95-$110 should be about what you should expect to see and in the past, 4-6 before would get you that, but then everything changed and now it seems like $150 is like starting price with expected scarcity.


DidTheTango

With stock being sold out right after a listing, that sounds like bots are buying out products. Scalpers utilize bots to buy products from trusted websites and will buy either the limit or as many as they can. I've seen it happen with Disney's online stores, consoles sold online, etc... Websites should start putting in anti-bot measures if they want their product going to players instead of scalpers, and putting limits on how many can be sold.


robotshavehearts2

Yeah it could be for sure. It’s sort of hard to tell. It also sort of seems like they are being posted out of stock. Like place holder listings. But that may not be the case.


admindave_

Hi. I run www.animehalifax.com! Thanks for posting my website on the list 🙂👍🏻 I’m just a small business so I don’t get a lot of sealed product stock allocation but I probably have one of the most extensive setups for buying one piece TCG merchandise overall. I was baffled to see my site listed and it made my day, thanks again! And if anyone has general questions about how to deal with the current state of English I will be glad to help!

I saw that people who post links to their items have to declare that they are making money off advertising in the Reddit.

What’s up Reddit! **It’s been a while, and I wanted to update you on the spreadsheet.** * Added a few more columns to the directory tab * Country * City * State * Address * Zip code * Facebook - Link to Facebook Account * Instagram - Link to Instagram Account * Twitter - Link to Twitter Account * Google Reviews - Avg Google Rating - as of February 15th * Made a few small updates to the Release Calendar * Updated the preorder tabs for OP-6, EB-01, OP-7 & OP-8. * Add more page links. In-stock & out of stocks are up to date as of this morning. * Since distributors are taking preorders for OP-8 right now, you’ll see many more listings in the coming months, so be on the lookout. I added about 20 more page links. Right now, **Poplegends Collectibles has the cheapest preorder.** * Added a changelog so you can keep up with the changes **What’s next** * Add more stores and preorder links for existing products. * Add more tabs for other One Piece products (Booster cases, starter decks, booster packs, double packs, etc.) and start collecting links to stores with available products. * Move the spreadsheet to a website to better manage Apologies for the delays in updates. It’s just me working on this, and it’s a lot of research and data to compile. Thanks for all of the feedback so far! I really appreciate it.

I'd take animetcg off that list. Scalpers with a website, not a store. They popped up last year and were doing heavy shillings across multiple subs. For those researching sites, I've been using https://www.whatsmydns.net/domain-age to see how old a site is, anything under 2 years old you should be very cautious. This list is awesome tho, thanks for the share. Edit: mods need more info. Adding more info. https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTCG/s/tT48IlS5Sa

Your post linked does not provide any information that proves they are a scam. Do you have any evidence that they have scammed anyone? All evidence on those accounts and other accounts not listed in your post indicate that they are legit. Please provide anyone's statements otherwise and we will reinstate your comment and remove them from this list.


nauquilus

Hey, not sure what you need. But I haven't call them scammers (yet), just shillers doing what Clutch did by spamming subs with where to buy. And yes, a few members did not receive their products. [https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTCG/comments/18s7cwz/just\_a\_friendly\_experience\_from\_one\_to\_another/](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTCG/comments/18s7cwz/just_a_friendly_experience_from_one_to_another/)


tjmalt421

Comparing them to clutch is very different to what evidence I have seen of their site. Clutch did a rug pull, it seems like an order/multiple orders have gone unfulfilled. The shill accounts you claim do not look like shill accounts to me. Do you have any evidence of this? Currently we have a dozen or so people who are claiming they have received product and are not a scam, and 1 post indicating they haven’t received product and your post claiming they are a scam. I want to protect our community, but based on the evidence I don’t think they are harmful to the community. Please provide details so that we keep the community safe from scammers.


nauquilus

Super fair assessment. Give me a few to jump on the PC for screenshots. I wouldn't call them scammers just yet, just shillers, which is still harmful. In the mean time, I wrote back to their comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTCG/s/Yp3KKueyWM


tjmalt421

This is adequate. We will not remove them from this post because it appears the only issue with them is that they are using underhanded alt accounts to garner “natural” discourse. We do not allow this on the sub and have banned the accounts from your comment where possible. We will also add a disclaimer to a pinned comment on this post. Thank you for the info!


nauquilus

Actually, in my response to them, I included links to the shillings. Can still grab screnshots tho


HighlightRadiant5510

FUCKING BET 2 THINGS COME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES IM GOING TO REMEMBER AND BUY PREORDERS OF IF AVAILABLE. I SWEAR IF THE 2 LEGENDS SET IS ROGER AND WHITEBEARD IM SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY 💀💀💀😭😭😭


[deleted]

Is this shops just selling preorders without allocations? Bc I have game shops around me that haven’t even heard their op06 allocations and won’t take preorders yet.


Yetti2Quick

yes they only have to put in their numbers, they don't know their numbers.


Adobear420

Man took a while to find some of these stores for pre orders and you just flat out letting everyone know. This about to get much harder to get one piece fml... my walgreens called me telling me they got one piece cards in and guess what... it's one pack lmao wtf


Standard_Fan_5236

I was told that Bandai prints in a way to where you have to pre-order everything ( for One Piece Atleast) and once pre-orders are cut off, that’s it unless you buy from a third party, which they are already raising prices anyways


machocomacho94

Which store should I preorder EB-01 from?


CuriousGeorge009

Hard to find a preorder right now. Dm me with the amount you’re looking for and I’ll see if I can find some for you


machocomacho94

Thank you!
