Target just dropped a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles produced alongside Owala. The highly anticipated collection officially went on sale on September 16, but some quick shoppers spotted the bottles in stores before the official launch.
High foot traffic at Target locations will likely decide how well the exclusive bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon retailers are cracking down on scalpers who resell merchandise at marked-up rates.
Several platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, blocked listings of unopened 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. As a result, many collectors reported having Pokémon TCG orders canceled without warning.
Across the Atlantic, Pokémon Center reservations for 30th anniversary items in the United Kingdom experienced setbacks, annoying collectors there.
