Pokémon Center to open in London
- Thread starter Bowser
- Start date
Yeah I'm not looking forward to the damage to my wallet today... that's if anything is left.
The line is near grennfall Tower I wouldn't bother, there won't be anything left
I'm in the line so long
Will be going next weekend when London MCM is happening (after the convention day ends) odds are I'll be in a Mimikyu Kigurumi after the convention so if you see someone dressed as one. That's me.
I'm in the line as well it's from the shop round by John Lewis far as I can tell.
Yes my gym is opposite grenfell....
Thanks for letting me know, I might pass by anyway.
I was gonna drop by today since I'll be in London and was ready to hang out for an hour or so in line but maybe I'll go in a few weeks lol, that looks like multiple hours of waiting
I'm always baffled why people would rather stand in line for hours instead of just visiting a few days later and maybe go straight in. (unless you're a tourist I guess)
edit: oh right it's a temporary shop so lines might be all the time. Good luck BritEra!

They have limited edition stuff which wont be available when sold out.
I would like to think that it's open for a month and the lines should settle down to an hour or so at most after a few weeks but you just don't know. It looks ridiculous. Would be interested to hear impressions on how long the wait actually is.
It is freezing I have been here since 9.40 and still not inside.
Oh jeez I was planning to go this tomorrow as part of my EGX trip but the queue situation sounds rough
Anyone got any idea when the queue starting forming in the morning? I should be able to make it there ahead of time but the Westfield site suggests the whole place doesn't open till 10 a.m.

On second thought, maybe I should wait until this location becomes more permanent in the future.
There's a very real chance that it doesn't- the Paris Center back in 2013 didn't.
Did everyone just start queing outside Westfield? I've never been, I have no idea if I should expect a normal shopping center or something else entirely haha.
Unfortunately, I won't be in the UK until next summer, so I'm going to miss out.
It's been organised by Westfield staff into a reasonably ordered queue.
Okk good to know, thanks.
I guess I'll give it a shot tomorrow and if I don't get in I don't get in
Same staff member just said there's a strong chance people in the back of the queue won't get in today
They have had to limit things to 1 of each item per person. Stops scalpers somewhat
Do you know how much the London pin badge cost? The enamel one with Pikachu in a dashing bowler hat with a Psyduck brolly?
Damn, I expected 30+ for a badge. I need to grab a badge on Monday if they have some left.
Fun Fact: The highest quality print run of the original Pokémon Base Set for the trading card game was only printed in the UK. Sometimes called "Base 2000," this version extends from 1999 to the year 2000 on the bottom margin. This is also the only print run of the Base Set where Vulpix 68/102 has its famously misprinted HP indicator corrected. However, despite all the cosmetic corrections to this set, Gyarados 6/102's set number remains misaligned.
You can keep this fun fact in your heart while you wait in line for Pokémon Center London.

I felt bad dropping a measly £40-50ish on 2 plushes and the badge. But I'm glad I stayed sensible about it.
There was some crazy spending happening yesterday, but for channels much larger than the one I work for/others that are pokécentric, it makes total sense.
