Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions Release Info at Alternate Universes

January 10th, 2025

Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions Release Info at Alternate Universes

Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions
Release Raffle Info

Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions release weekend is January 17th-19th. Please read the following info about our release!

As you may know, demand for the upcoming Pokemon set Prismatic Evolutions is extremely high. Due to this, our product allocations have been very low. We want to make sure everyone has a fair chance to get some of the new set, without the need for showing up early or camping out at our store.

Instead of putting out products for sale on launch day, we are raffling off the chance to buy one of the following products at MSRP:

Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box – MSRP: $49.99 – 10 to raffle at each store (30 total)
Prismatic Evolutions Binder Collection – MSRP: $29.99 – 6 to raffle at each store (18 total)
Prismatic Evolutions Poster Collection – MSRP: $14.99 – 12 to raffle at each store (36 total)
Prismatic Evolutions Tech Sticker Collection MSRP: $14.99 – 12 to raffle at each store (36 total)

This is our entire allocation of Prismatic Evolutions. We won’t have any more until the next product release.

Here is a breakdown of how this will work:

1. Come to your local AU during release weekend, January 17th-19th, and enter our raffle. Each person may enter only once at each store.

2. Raffle winners will be selected on Monday 1/20. Winners will be alerted by email if they have won and which product they are selected to buy.

3. Winners will have until end of day on 1/27 to buy their item. Anything not purchased by that time will be re-raffled!

No Alternate Universes staff are eligible to win this raffle.

Thank you, and good luck!
