Target will enforce unusually strict rules for the Pokemon 30th anniversary trading card set release. The restrictions are tighter than typical of a retail launch. Long lines formed at stores, including in San Antonio. Shoppers queued in Australia to get the cards. Many fans were left disappointed as stock sold out quickly. Experts now suggest checking the exact Target drop time ahead of the release to secure cards before shelves clear. This strict policy affects this anniversary release, that has driven heavy demand. Buyers should prepare early and know the exact release time to avoid missing out.
