Prismatic Evolutions is the January special set of English Pokemon.  The Japanese equivalent is Terastal Festival.  Many people in the Pokemon Hobby have already heard at how high the demand is for Prismatic Evolutions in addition to how limited the supply would be for small stores like the PokeChalet.  When we received our allocation numbers from our distributor (December 17th), we began the process of figuring out how to fairly make the product available to our customer base.  While some stores took pre-orders and had to cancel, we understood the market and the inability to predict allocations.  We understood the...
