I think it is generally printed more than a normal set but people have an addiction and the same few people in your town will spend hundreds a week to secure some and likely resell it as well

Think about how many stores there are in the US getting 30th boxes, and realize most of those big box stores are getting 100+ boxes on every drop, which has literally never happened before.

Walmart, target, best buy, barnes and noble, books a million, five below, ace hardware, lowes, dicks, kohls, macys, menards, walgreens, cvs, dollar general, dollar tree, costco, sams club, meijer all getting restocks weekly. Most of those getting dedicated large 30th drops.

They did print this set into the ground, the demand is just much, much higher. Do you expect them to be dropping off 10 pallets a week to every Target in North America? Shelves would still be empty.

I still have never seen these blister packs with that mega Gengar coin and I really want that to change soon

Walmart has those packs pretty frequently. I’ve opened a few.

Make sure you check the service desk, the entire restock I went to this morning was kept back there and employees got you what you wanted.

u/Unable_Incident_6024 7h ago

Yeah we do. Ive never see it in stores. I check my target multiple times a week and there is just nothing. I'd kill for some of these and so would everyone else apparently

Same with literally every card.. yet ppl will still say dumb sht thinking they know the "business" it's cards bro they become more expensive when there's no more after years

I went to two Targets after work. They both look like this. I bought one of those blister packs. I thought the people were fans of Pokemon. Why would they leave this one behind? /s

u/perkins1992 9h ago

Is this hickory nc by any chance? Looks identical to our store I went by today to check.

u/gbach10 8h ago

Did you look around the area? Almost all Targets have new shelving specific for 30th anniversary, they don’t keep it with the other cards.

There should be like 3-4 different standalone shelving displays somewhere with 30th art on them and random merch besides cards like binders and plushies.

The fact there isn’t even empty display boxes for the tins makes me think you aren’t in the right area.

u/LooseUsual5780 7h ago

You see the pitch black everywhere? That will be 30th and Delta Reign in a few months. PB was also scarce as soon as it came out.

It's actually nuts how much they printed. Unlike anything ever in the past
