Why we called it
B&M cap Pokémon at six items per customer, and that cap is across everything rather than six of each. So the real question in a B&M is not what to buy, it is what to spend the six on when the EX Boxes and First Partner boxes have gone.
The answer through August was the checklane blisters, and specifically the Gengar one. £6.99 each, clearing around £13 to £15. Six of them is £41.94 in for roughly £78 back, so about £36 out of a single allowance on a product most people walk past.
It is the lowest-capital call we posted all month. Nobody is retiring on £36, but it is the sort of thing that fills the gap when a store has been picked clean of the higher-margin stock, and it uses an allowance that would otherwise go to waste.
The edge
What members knew before everyone else worked it out.
- £6.99 each against £13-15, so roughly £6 a unit and a shade under 2x.
- The six-item B&M limit covers all Pokémon, so this is what you use it on when the better SKUs have gone.
- Six blisters is £41.94 in and about £78 back, roughly £36 from one allowance.
- The Gengar variant was the one flagged, though the line as a whole moves at similar prices.
- No queue, no delivery timing, no drop. Just shelf stock most people ignore.
How it played out

Spotted on a B&M restock
Flagged alongside the EX Box and FP2 restock as the low-budget option on the same shelf.

Priced into the week
Published in the weekly Pokémon plan with the six-item allowance maths spelled out.
The takeaway
Worth having in the ledger precisely because it is small. A lot of people read a drop hub, see £700 boxes and decide the whole thing is not for them. Seven pounds an item with a proven 2x is the answer to that.
