A bit late (I know 😅), but this Pikachu 101/SV-P - Pikachu in Batik Shirt Indonesian Promo Card was announced quite a while back. I can't find the card on cardmarket.com (am I missing something)? Either way, the card is for sale at numerous online stores and Ebay between €10 and €20 it seems. I do like this card and think promotions like this are really cool and makes the Pokemon company quite unique, the art isn't amazing but it's pretty nice I feel. 👉 I'm wondering what you guys think about this promo? Have any of you guys picked it up? Background info on this promo: Pokemon Indonesia is giving out an exclusive Pikachu in Batik Shirt promo in Indonesia, as part of their Pikachu's Indonesia Journey campaign, this campaign is full of events in Indonesia in collaboration with "Pikachu Jet GA", a special Pikachu-themed airplane from Garuda Indonesia that operates throughout Asia.

According to Pokebeach, people in The Netherlands may soon have another chance of acquiring the desirable Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat (SVP085) promo. The promo was previously handed out at the Van Gogh museum, but the promotion was quickly halted after videos of the mania among people trying to get the card went viral. Pokemon’s official distributors have reached out to local game stores. Each store will get 100 copies of the promo and they will be handed out to customers spending €30+ on Pokemon merchandise. Prices on Cardmarket have decreased since this news has come out. The card was sitting at around €130-€140 two weeks ago. Currently, listings are approaching €100. What is your thought? Is this a good way to make up for the museum’s short distribution run of this promo? Will you try to get one?

A new Pikachu promo called 'Taipei's Pikachu' is being released soon in Taiwan to celebrate the new Pokémon Center in Taipei. The card isn't on Cardmarket yet, but should be soon enough and will be a cool pickup for sure! I will update this post as soon as I can find it on CM. Update: It's on Cardmarket now Taipei's Pikachu (SV-P 057) 'Taipei's Pikachu' promo card will be given out starting December 8 (Friday) at Pokémon Center Taipei and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Xinyi New World. I think the art on this card is really cool, what do you guys think? Cool pickup? Pikachu promos can do really well long term, especially with a cool stamp and unique art like this one!

On the 18th of November (so in 3 days) The Pokemon Company International is launching a new campaign called Poké Post in the UK, France and Germany. This is a limited-time promotion running on specific dates and at specific locations until the 19th of December 2023. Basically, you can visit a Poké Post mailing office (picture attached) to receive a special Pokémon Trading Card Game gift, and one to send to a friend via postcard. They even made a special website for the promotion: https://poke-post.com/en-GB When and where this is happening: UK: https://poke-post.com/en-GB/when DE: https://poke-post.com/de-DE/when FR: https://poke-post.com/fr-FR/when How it works: Come down to our Poké Post Mailing Office, collect a Pokémon Trading Card Game gift, address your envelope, slip it through the Poké Post counter, and then receive your own gift pack to take home and keep! Strike your best pose in the photo areas and meet Pikachu or Eevee at scheduled times throughout the day. Once in the queue, you will be given the choice of either a Pikachu or Eevee themed envelope containing a corresponding Pokémon Together promo card inside, together with a Pokémon Scarlet & Violet fun pack. Meaning there’s one themed gift pack for you, and the other for the special Trainer in your life! Pretty cool promotion and I love that they are doing more of these in the EU! PS: If you don't have anyone to send the card to, why not send it to a community member who can't go! Drop a comment if you would like to send or receive a card to/from someone.
