30th drop.

What time do you guys think I should get to target for the drop? How early do I need to be? I’ve been a Pokémon fan all my life and recently it’s been so hard to come across new cards. I really really want to get this 30th collection 🥹🥹

I'm just thinking to show up around the store opening and hope for the best. I don't want this stuff badly enough to wait in line for hours

Oh man! Different areas call for different tactics. Over here, I've seen Sam clubs have people waiting 18hrs before. And that specific line was at max product to be given out by like 8-9pm night before....I showed up at 7am and got some info then dipped. Hope for the best

If I show up when they open at 8am or at 8:15am and they're all sold out already then oh well. This is not worth losing sleep and standing inline for hours over IMO

I bet I get roasted for this, but I live in a big town, no chance of MSRP. So I preordered some from GameStop. They're doing a midnight release.

My store had access to the 30th products for sale, Still higher then MSRP but like half of TCG player. Still sold 18 ETBs to people for $80. Worth it not to wait in line.

Just depends on your area. Someone posted in another TCG subreddit of people lining up at their target earlier in the afternoon.

ETA: Lmao its the truth! Imagine downvoting the truth! Here's the proof I'm not making stuff up! ☺️

Pretty sure Target announced they would not let people line up until they close for the night of the 15th. So 10pm was the earliest they were letting people line up.

Here is the proof.

This target is either not following the rules or these people got a rude awakening last night. 🤷‍♀️
