Target just dropped a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles produced alongside Owala. The highly anticipated collection officially went on sale Sept. 16, but some observant shoppers found items in stores prior to the scheduled date.
Successful store visits at Target locations stands to shape how well the limited-edition bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon sellers are pushing back against scalpers who buy up merchandise at inflated prices.
Both platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, recently banned listings of unopened 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. Consequently, numerous collectors experienced having Pokémon TCG orders canceled without warning.
Across the Atlantic, Pokémon Center pre-orders for 30th anniversary items in the United Kingdom were delayed, annoying collectors in that region.
