In mid-September, most of the UK **Pokémon TCG** community (including yours truly) were left saddened by the fact that our **Pokémon 30th Celebration pre-orders** didn’t turn up, and later, on release day, they were delayed. After almost two months of looking like the sad Charizard Pokémon card, pre-orders are finally being charged, meaning stock should be dispatched soon.

The source? Me. I got an email from the Pokémon Center today due to my debit card having an issue, which I quickly fixed. After that, my order of the 30th Celebration expansion changed from pending to processing, signalling that my [Pokémon TCG](https://www.kantopost.com/tag/pokemon-tcg/) order was being prepared.

Having any [Pokémon set](https://www.kantopost.com/pokemon-tcg/sets/) delayed is devastating, but the [30th Celebration](https://www.kantopost.com/pokemon-tcg/30th-celebration-set-guide/) one? Believe me, I was disappointed—especially as it was meant to be a birthday gift to myself. As they say, better late than never, and within seven days, UK collectors should see their pre-orders finally turn up.

For those who are unaware, the stock that was delayed consists of the Tech Sticker Collections, the Eevee Blister and the Pokémon Center-exclusive Elite Trainer Boxes. They were due for release on launch day, 16 September, but emails were sent out on the day to announce the delay until mid-November.

That also means I can finally do my 30th Celebration review. So, expect that shortly after I receive them in the coming days. This will be based on the artwork, pull rates, and general quality of the print—I’m already aware the [pull rates are pretty solid](https://www.kantopost.com/pokemon-tcg/30th-celebration-pull-rates-opinion/), though.
