Target just dropped a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles produced alongside Owala. The popular collection officially went on sale on September 16, but some quick shoppers spotted the bottles in stores before the official launch.
Successful foot traffic at Target locations will likely decide how well the exclusive bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon sellers are actively fighting scalpers who resell merchandise at inflated prices.
Both platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, have removed listings of still-packaged 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. Following this, numerous collectors said their Pokémon TCG orders canceled without warning.
Overseas, Pokémon Center reservations for 30th anniversary items in the UK faced delays, disappointing collectors there.
