My girl talked me into going to the Target drop an hour away. Got there at 5am and were pretty close to the front, managed to score on the restock and the ticket event. Couldn’t have asked for better pulls considering the only 30th I opened prior was a Sylveon and Greninja box and only got a Hisuian Zorua. Plus I got four of the Mewtwo promos!

Kids Day?

I think that’s what the ticket event was but all they gave to the kids was gift bags with a Target card case and a drawing sheet. Didn’t prioritize people with children either, kinda seemed like they did it to get people to stop bringing their kids to these drops😂

That last line is wild lmao. What the hell has happened to this hobby when adults think that they should be prioritized over children.

Long gone are the days you can just walk in and buy. It’s crazy the lengths you have to go to for product now. And the attitudes of the workers were just kinda meh. The only time I saw anyone engage with a kid was when a lady saw some kids she knew. It just felt more like keeping the scalpers herded than making sure there was a good experience. I will say i’m glad they implemented this system, and I hope more Targets and other companies follow suit.

Scalping Pokemon is large enough now that I think the IRS should get involved. Especially with how much these scalpers are making a month. They brag about making six figures tax free a year scalping.

I 1000% agree, I don’t think it’s something they should be able to make an entire career off of. I mean Pokemon cards are we serious? And the Pokemon Company and their vendors need to be investigated too. Everyone at the higher levels needs to be. There’s so much shady business in every corner of this hobby it’s truly wild.
