People have lost their minds. I'm not even sure I'd queue up from 6am to get some merch lol.

Pokémon Center to open in London
- Thread starter Bowser
- Start date
That's insane.., what for? just the london pikachu? which is one of the worst pikachu's plush out there..
Not a surprise when the yellow Chilly's bottle is going for £200+
I think it was 25 or 35 in store...
this is beyond insane....

That's insane. It works out better to buy the scalper's items outright, unless you value your time that poorly.
honestly, so bloody glad I went OPENING day, I arrived at 6am and was in first 40 in the store, It seems to be getting progressively worse. I managed to get everything I wanted that day too. I just hope the popularity will mean Nintendo will look at this and go we need to open a store.
That's absolutely insane. Definitely not going to bother now.
I really hope they open a permanent store after all this.

Yeah it did cross my mind that a significant portion might be scalpers. But I'm sure there's some die hard fans mixed in.
Any chance there still be any pikachus on Monday? My coworkers wants to go.. so i may join for the lulz. I really don't like it, but not sure what else could i get if i join them.
Unfortunately not. This is the last week they're on sale
It's gotten even worse? Christ. That's the opposite of what should be happening. Damn.
They really need to make a bigger, permanent store.
Pretty sure that queueing from 6-8 PM has been the new standard for a few days now for people who want the badges and/or bottles. It's insane.
They would be crazy not to open a permanent store or even a webshop after this :/.
Seeing this entire thing unfold has been pretty bonkers, I hope the poor people working the store have been treated with kindness and respect for the duration.
Eternally grateful I got in on press day, I really wanted to go but there's no way I would've used a day of holiday to simply sit in queues this long.

I think you make more money as a limited time deal where people fight tooth and nail to get there before it closes. It would be a great annual thing they can roll out before a new release or the holidays
Should be fine, my friend went around 12 30 on Friday (disabled so went straight in) and managed to get a plush but other stuff was sold out. Said any new stuff wasn't great.
They've threw away the item limit now:
I went Saturday Morning and while I was like 30th in the Queue, I didn't get a bottle. :(
If anyone randomly gets a Bottle and wants to sell it for £25, i'd be so happy.
I really only went for a Bottle and the Plush, the Plush I got so it's not too bad.
Hated how people in front of me were clearly just asking how much things sell for on eBay though...

Yes, but I thought there'd be a kind soul on here going just for the fun of it, but would be at the front anyway and would not want a bottle. Lul.
I know I stand no chance unless I go myself again.
Fuuuuuuuuuu, that's bs considering they implemented that day 2 (when I went), unless they're just trying to clear stock now.
London exclusives (clothes, london city pikachu, bottles, umbrellas, etc) are now completed sold out....
Oh if you can get it through that Pokemon centre I won't bother queueing again.
My friends and I joined the queue at 3:45 AM and there were already 60+ people in queue... on a Monday morning. We weren't among the first to enter the shop come opening time, after 6+ hours queuing.
This whole affair must have been scalpers paradise.

I'm a huge Pokemon fan that lives in London, and I didn't bother going. It's just ridiculous that we don't have any sort of a Nintendo themed store in the UK. What were they expecting?
