Target has introduced a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles made in collaboration with Owala. The highly anticipated collection officially went on sale on September 16, but some sharp-eyed shoppers spotted the bottles in stores before the official launch.
Successful store visits at Target locations stands to shape how well the special bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon companies are cracking down on scalpers who hoard merchandise for profit.
Several platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, have removed listings of unopened 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. Following this, many collectors reported having Pokémon TCG orders cancelled without warning.
Overseas, Pokémon Center advance orders for 30th anniversary items in the UK were delayed, annoying fans there.
