It will come as no surprise to anyone who has preordered Pokémon in the last 6 months that the official Ascended Heroes release date has been delayed a week in Australia.

  
We are unsure if this delay will filter to the rest of the product line, but as it stands, the releases for February are:

  
**Friday February 13th**

* Tech Sticker Blister
* 2-Pack Blister
* Pokémon Day 2026 Collection

  
**Friday February 20th**

* Elite Trainer Box
* First Partners Deluxe Pin Collection
* Mini Tins
* Mega Charizard ex Tin

  
For those who would like some information on what retailers are still to release preorders, a quick summary is below:

  
**Kmart**: Usually does preorders 2 weeks from first product release date. Their website sucks and has no bot protection, but they will probably have lots so you might be in luck

  
**Target**: Usually does online orders **the day of the product's release**. They release very early in the day, and usually get snapped up fairly fast



**Myer**: Drops between 3am - 5am AEST for click and collect at your local store. Yuck  


**Amazon**: Usually does preorders 2-3 weeks from first product release date. They have a 3 item per account limit, but Amazon is notorious for being botted beyond belief so good luck



EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, Big W and Toymate have done preorders already. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
