Pokemon Release Updates
We hope everyone is well and safe just now during these very difficult times. We, the resident geeks, want to first off thank each and every one of you that has helped support our online & Retail store in Glasgow.
As everyone is aware the recent difficulties with Covid-19 restrictions and Brexit has had a huge impact on the supply chain, affecting toys, comics, gifts and particularly the Pokémon TCG franchise. We want to give as much information to our customers as possible about the situation so everyone is aware of the current disruption.
Some of the Pokémon lines listed above will be supplied in waves over the months after release due to supply limitations.
We may not be able to invoice and ship your order in full for the official release date but will allocate stock to you from each new wave as it arrives.
An accurate timetable of deliveries is not currently available but we will let you know as these are confirmed.
We have made changes to the way pre-orders are being processed which should improve the speed and clear the back log quickly as stock arrives. We are now limiting all Pokemon TCG goods to strictly 1 per customer. This will change on a day to day basis depending on availability of stock and we hope to update these rules as supply eases.
Our customer service phone lines and live chat are working Monday to Friday from 9am – 5:30pm, please note that we are experiencing a high volume of queries across all products, please bear with us during this time. The team at Geek-aboo would like to extend our heartfelt THANKS *Covid fistbump* during this period.
Latest Updates
Pokemon TCG Updates: Some Delays Expected For Fusion Strike
We are currently preparing for this weekend’s release of Pokemon TCG: Fusion Strike, with most of the stock expected to arrive very soon. Customers who have pre-ordered any Fusion Strike products should expect to receive an email from us when their orders are ready to process, so do keep an eye on your inbox during this time.
Due to supply issues, this release will arrive in two waves, meaning that the rest of the stock is expected to be released sometime in December. Fortunately, we are expecting to receive enough stock to fulfil all pre-orders, and to have a limited quantity available online and in store. Should these circumstances change, we will notify customers as soon as possible.
If you have any other questions regarding your order, please leave us a message at greetings@geek-aboo.com and we’ll be happy to help.

UPDATE: Marnie Premium Tournament Collection NEW ETA
Dear Trainers,
Earlier this month we had announced that we had received a much lower than expected stock of the Marnie Premium Tournament Collection on the day of release, meaning that most customer orders have been kept as a pre-order. We have been working very closely with our suppliers to rectify this matter as soon as possible.
We have received word that our orders are still pending & we are expecting a firm ETA for the Marnie Premium Tournament Collection in the next few weeks. Once new stock arrives, we will be in contact with customers to confirm that their orders can be processed. At this time there is still no firm delivery dates.

Thank you for your patience during this time and we hope this matter can be resolved very soon. Also, we hope you’re as excited as us for this week’s release of Evolving Skies! Check out our full range now!
UPDATE: Marnie Premium Tournament Collection STOCK DELAYS
Due to only receiving a limited quantity of the Pokemon TCG: Marnie Premium Tournament Collection we regret to inform you that most customers orders will be delayed until we receive all the stock reserved from our suppliers. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause; however, we do expect it to arrive shortly after the official release date and customers who ordered this product will be contacted when orders are ready to be processed.
So far, this shortage is only affecting this particular product, however we are closely monitoring the situation should that ever change in the future. We are working with our suppliers to resolve this matter as soon as possible so please bear with us during this time. Should any stock be available for general purchase, we will keep everyone updated here and on our social media.
If you have any further queries regarding your order, please don’t hesitate to email us at greetings@geek-aboo.com, or you can use our Live Chat service when you enter the site. You can also call us from 9:30am – 5:30pm, Mon-Fri at 0141 766 0905.

Even with the caps in place for customer orders, some allocations will be necessary. Once we have confirmed restock dates for Wave 2 stock of Chilling Reign, we will fulfil any pre-orders to any customers who have missed the first wave of deliveries.

Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield Zacian and Zamazenta Ultra Premium Collection
In preparation for their original release date we carried out a pre allocation of these lines back in October.
Please be aware that this pre-order allocation to customers is no longer valid as the quantity of stock we are now receiving for launch is only a fraction of what was originally expected to arrive last year.
Geek-aboo comments: We will be contacting customers who currently have a pre-order with us as the items arrive to complete the orders. Due to stock allocations not all orders will be fulfilled in the first wave.

Pokémon Sword and Shield 5 Update
We have been informed of some unexpected logistics delays to the stock of some of the Sword and Shield 5 Battle Styles lines due for release on the 19th March.
As a result we may have to split customers with orders for boosters and portfolios shipping a day or two before the Elite trainer boxes and triple packs.
Geek-aboo comments: We are expecting stock to arrive on time prior to release but delays are likely.
Pokémon Sword and Shield 5 Elite Trainer Box
This product will be available in two variant boxes, Red and Blue, both feature artwork for Gigantamax Urshifu one in Rapid strike and the other in single strike pose.
The contents of these two box designs is identical apart from the artwork on the pack of card sleeves included which matches the outer picture on each box.
