Target has introduced a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles made in collaboration with Owala. The popular collection officially went on sale Sept. 16, but some quick shoppers found items in stores prior to the scheduled date.
Successful foot traffic at Target locations stands to shape how well the limited-edition bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon retailers are actively fighting scalpers who resell merchandise for profit.
Both platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, recently banned listings of sealed 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. As a result, many collectors reported having Pokémon TCG orders canceled without warning.
Across the Atlantic, Pokémon Center pre-orders for 30th anniversary items in the UK were delayed, annoying eager buyers across the pond.
