How DropNZ works
Who has Pokémon cards in stock across New Zealand, and how to hear first. A two-minute read.
The radar: free forever
The radar lists every sealed Pokémon TCG product the stores we watch have online, and which branches have it in stock. No sign-up. It runs 15 minutes behind; members see stock live. New members get a 2-day free trial.
Find what you are after
- Search for a product or a store, like "Prismatic ETB" or "Farmers".
- Type, Store and Region narrow the list. Region shows only the stores near you that publish branch stock.
- In stock only hides sold-out listings. It is off to start with, so you see everything a store lists.
- Language picks English, Japanese or other printings. Sort puts the newest listings, the most units or the cheapest first.
- Tap ? at the top of the radar for what a card's badges mean. Tap a card to buy from the store.
Membership
Membership adds live stock (no 15-minute delay), instant Discord alerts, and DM alerts for the sets, products and stores you pick, with Speed checkout links. You sign in with Discord and pay through Stripe. New members start with 2 days free; a card is needed to start, and you pay nothing if you cancel before the trial ends. See the price and join.
Once you're signed in, tap your name at the top of any page for your Membership: billing, alert settings and sign out.
After you join: three steps
- Join the DropNZ Discord with the same Discord login you use here.
- Pick your roles in #roles to choose what pings you: restocks, new listings, price drops, your region, your stores or a product type.
- Set up DMs: in #set-up-dms press Set up DMs (or type /dms), then press It works in the bot's DM.
Discord alerts come with membership, NZ$6 a month. They go out as soon as a check sees the change. Leaving the server doesn't cancel billing; do that in Manage billing (tap your name, then Manage billing).
Your watchlist
- Tap DM me on any product and the DropNZ bot DMs you when it lands, at every store. DM alerts come with membership and need the DM set-up above.
- Only care about the stores near you? Tap Choose stores (or DM me again, or the store button on the Alerts page) and pick them, online included.
- Watched products live on the Alerts page, under DM alerts: what's in stock at your stores first, with where, and the latest changes. You can also get a DM when one sells out or drops in price.
Sound while the radar is open
The Sound button at the top of the radar plays a beep and shows a notification for each restock or new listing while the radar is open. With the radar open, a pop-up in the corner also says when something you watch changes.
Good to know
- Stock is what each store's website says, checked every few minutes. A box can sell out between checks, and branch stock can lag the shelf. Check with the store before you drive there.
- If a store's check stops working, the Stores tab shows it in red, with the reason.
- Questions? Ask in the DropNZ Discord.
