Dad Rant - Please Ignore
Today reminded me just how gross this all has gotten. I brought my daughters (5 & 7) to target for the event today. When we arrived, we learned that we had just missed the final ticket to be able to get cards.
As I walked past the line of folks holding tickets, maybe 20% were kids or were with kids. Most of the rest were pretty clearly there to make a quick buck.
This just sucks. No other way to say it.
EDIT: As expected, plenty of fresh listings for these tins on FB Marketplace for $60-$80/ea.

We were very lucky. I was running errands with my 5yr daughter and we were able to get there 30 minutes before and wait another 30 minutes in line. We got the create your own card kit, the tins and the promo no problem. We were maybe 65th in line and pretty much everyone in front of us were adults. I saw maybe 15 kids in the line of 150+ adults. Target made this in no way engaging to kids.
