Target just dropped a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles created with Owala. The highly anticipated collection officially went on sale on September 16, but some quick shoppers found items in stores ahead of the release.
Strong foot traffic at Target locations will likely decide how well the exclusive bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon retailers are cracking down on scalpers who hoard merchandise for profit.
Several platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, recently banned listings of unopened 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. Consequently, many collectors experienced having Pokémon TCG orders terminated without warning.
Internationally, Pokémon Center advance orders for 30th anniversary items across Britain faced delays, disappointing fans across the pond.
