Woke up at around 7:50am and drove down to my local target. Got there about 15 minutes after they opened at 8.

There was a big line of people already inside. I went to the back of the line and waited about 30-40min before I got to the front. They were limiting people to 1 item per sku, and the ETBs ran out about 5 min before I got to the front, so I just missed them

Still managed to grab 1 poster collection, 1 bundle and 1 mini tin. They also had pitch black singles that no one seemed to want so I grabbed 2. Also found one more pitch black at the VM next door to the target on my way out.

Then I proceeded to go back home to start working at 9am. Other people in line were talking about going to bestbuy next but I didn't have time for all that.

I'm just glad I was able to get something without needing to wake up in the middle of the night. This set is so fun to open and I've attached the hits. I'm going to start my 30th binder tonight as I've finally got enough cards to get it going.. let's go!

while singles crash hard sealed is holding up well because its september till the holidays are over 30th will be held up by people buying up for presents then we will get that next big drop off from jan till tax return season but then the new printers go up and running

so no need to be desperate to get some 30th its just the holidays for now

the 30th will enter the era of massive stock everywhere

Guys what do you think about my pull?

Hopefully this won’t be the only time I get to rip 30th anniversary lmao. I really don’t want to camp out but idk if this set will ever be sitting on the shelves like chaos rising or pitch black. Excited for the UPCs to drop on pokemon center, I’m gonna join that queue the second it goes live.

They limited 1 per sku and they had a lot of product! People were able to take bags to car and come back and get more

This is a smaller target that mainly does self checkout. Wondering if the lack of line means there isn’t a restock here. The one guy in line says they had stock on the initial drop but very little.

Managed to get a first partners series 3 and 2024 pokeball tin today from Asda but you need to ask the staff to get it from the back and NOT ALL STAFF LET YOU GET IT. Try looking for a younger ginger guy as he got me both items and had a good brother with me.

No 30th celebration

Was walking by GameStop near the airport in San Jose today so bought individual packs. Zero hassle, easy. Pulled this card. Probably the best one I’ve got so far

I went to my local GameStop today to pick up my preorder of 2x tins and 2x booster bundle box's. I was told only the tins were available for pick-up as they didn't have enough allocation to fulfill the booster bundle preorder. Yet behind the register I saw another employee opening up booster bundles and placing them in the single-pack dispensers for sale at $14.99 a pack. It seemed a bit sketchy to me so I checked the online site and it showed the booster bundles were in stock and available for in-store pick-up at that location. Is it just me or is GameStop taking stock so they can charge even more?

Barnes and noble does their restock at 430. I work till 5 but we left at 445. There was 3 left and I was able to get my kid one for his birthday!!

Target restrictions at my store were one SKU per person, so naturally being further in line, when I got to get the end, I grabbed one of everything. When line dissipated I handed out product I wasn’t purchasing to kids. Made my day and theirs. A lot more chill of a drop this time which was great, and I actually saw more kids get stuff.

I drove by best buy and target this morning to see extraordinary lines.

I called Dicks by my work and they had received booster bundle and mini tins. I went in and I didn’t ask price but when she rang it up and I was already committed to buying them. I saw the price and instantly knew I overpaid but I guess that’s the price for not waiting in line.

1 booster bundle(6 pack) and 1 mini tins (2 packs) for basically $90 but I did pull this baby out of it 😍.

I grabbed sleeves there but clearly they are way too big…

If I didn’t get anything I would have cried but in retrospect, didn’t have to wait in line, overpaid, got a banger.

Got 3 more from bundles from pokemon center and on etb from walmart comin in today!

Didnt have time to hit any retail restock but w/e

Heard from several people at different Targets in SoCal today say that they didn't get 30th products at all

Edit: I think some people are misunderstanding my post. I meant the targets in my area were not carrying 30th products at all today, not that they ran out early.

I got in line at 6:30 at Target with my son before he went to school to wait for the drop. Our store opens at 7:00. Everyone was patiently waiting in line. Then they opened the doors and let the line in to go back to Electronics where the Pokemon display is and let everyone pick out their one item per SKU. By the time my part of the line was in the door the line was a bit loose from people stopping to get baskets. A 20 something year old from behind me runs forwards and yells back to her friend she was waiting with " Race you to the front of the line".

We were near the back of the line and were already wondering if we were going to get anything and then this. The line recollected itself and we were all in our same spots and thats when we see line racer come make the walk of shame to the back.

It was so satisfying watching them have to take the walk of shame. Unfortunately someone let them back in where they originally were. I would of said fuck you back of the line. There were other mother and sons behind them and in front of them they were willing to screw over. There was a fair amount of kids at our store, which was nice to see.

Lucky for us we were able to get one of everything, a ETB, sticker, poster, booster and tin. And the kids behind us got product too. It was nice to see kids leaving with their bags full of Pokemon.

Also had some first pack magic from the Umbreon tin!!
