I was at my local Target and there were about a dozen of us and everybody took 1-2 and made sure there was enough to go around. It was dad's wanting to rip packs with kids, people who had just come back to the hobby, and it was beautiful.
Those ETB's should have been limit to 1 per person on store. And put displays each of the days the sale runs for. They should have prioritize ETB's for store with limit so everyone could have one or two in some day of the week
Just went to my local target yesterday just to look at cards and they were restocking 151, literally didn’t even touch the shelf and 2 people grabbed all them. These stores should limit how many ever customer can buy
At my local Target they had released the $20 ETBs the 1-2 days earlier than its official release date. I went to scope out the deal the day before the official release date and everything was sold out except for one Silver Tempest ETB which I was told to hide somewhere safe. It was my first time experiencing Black Friday to buy Pokémon Cards, so I was able to enjoy the thrill of buying them during the week of Black Friday. I was even told that someone bought 5 of these ETBs, and the person who advised me to hide it, thought ‘Hey man, leave some for the rest of the customers.’ These scalpers are merciless, they won’t leave any for the rest of us who want to enjoy collecting Pokemon cards.
Thanks for making this video and sharing your thoughts. I got lucky and got 1 ETB as the person first in line didn’t take the whole display. Just filled their cart as quickly as possible. I was really conflicted on how I felt about it and made a video as we’re all trying to make money in different ways. This helps me a lot as we seem to share the same mindset that this approach is not cool. Look forward to watching more of your content!
Online is the way to go, dont have to deal with this. Have to have notifications on though and be quick and they have had 2 sizeable restocks maybe more to come
There probably is a limit but he didn't find out until he got to the register. When I was in college I worked at Target & regardless of if we had a limit or not I use to just say we did. My manager always backed me bc of "right to refuse service"
I remember the video of a person that was attacked by multiple individuals in a store parking lot for sports cards. He drew his legally owned firearm, and they ran off, he was not charged for this. Point is, is it worth it to get beat up or even shot for trading cards. Crazy.
defend themself from what? lol he had posession of the display and going after him is battery. It's already a bad look that scuffle happened, that is not a hill to die on.
My target dropped these today. No limit. No one else was around. It was the middle of the day. I grabbed what I wanted. Went to the gamestop next door and let the people know that was in the store that target dropped the ETB's. Literally even the employee closed shop and headed over to target lmao. Everyone told me to buy the whole display. I could have. But I understand that even getting 1 box from that display would make someones month. So I didnt buy everything. I am not patting myself on the back for having common courtesy not buying the entire display, but i'm just hoping some dad/mom was able to score a box or 2 for their kid.
I kinda wish I was there. I don't want any ETBs because they are same size as a booster box and a waste of space but just to spite that guy, I would take some ETB's while he is hugging it... what is he going to do drop the ETB case so everyone else gets it by trying to swing? lol. And its not theft because it wasn't even paid for yet
My target didn’t have these or some one already took it all, I also went to the card section and they only had one pack of Pokemon only lol well my target sucks I went there for nothing so I just buy poke cards online now such as Amazon or other stores
Why is there such little stock of these deals. My gamestop said they were gone the first day within 30 min of opening. My Targets didn't know anything about the etb black Friday deal. One display case? The Walmart $15 tins sold out by the time they went live for the general public. Just seems weird not to have it on Friday and such little stock. Also very surprised there were no limits.
I managed to get 2 online, but I've been going at open and there were a group of people that were there also. nobody ran but each time, the display wasnt out. One place said that tuesday it will be out but who knows. I might not even go tomorrow since I already got 2 but we'll see what the internal clock says, LOL. Hopefully it wont be like this
My target had 1 limit per person for this promotion. But I heard and can see that other targets are not restricting. My brother went to another target and 2 guys bought 90% of the ETBs. Target needs to do a better job with these promotions.
My goodness this community is so entitled. Guys, if you want packs DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THEM. No one owes you anything, so quit acting like they do.
@@DrApplesauceTwo It's quite literally the argument. People are upset at other people who bought more than they thought they should. The definition of entitled.
People who act like this give the hobby a bad image. The pokemon company needs to print products so that it is available for everyone to enjoy, so scalpers and flippers can't do this and clear out 151 pallets in Costco or any other products that hit the shelves. When prismatic evolution releases, it's only going to get worse. I don't even want to think what hobby is going to look when the team rocket set comes out
Damn that sucks. I used to collect and have fun with it but collecting cards and buying packs is now annoying because of scalpers and all this craziness. I just play the online TCG and have fun with that so I’m good without spending money on packs now
a reseller broke down the profit in this video... at worst if hes selling on ebay - he profits $3/ silver tempest etb selling around $40 after taxes, fees, shipping.... at best his profits are $9/ lost origin etb selling around $50 after taxes, fees, shipping.... scalpers, and collectors falling for fomo is ruining this hobby.
I was at my local target today, and they were stacked with product. Not a single person was getting cards but me either. I bought a couple ETBs, packs, booster bundles. And there were tons left when i was finished picking what i needed. I dunno what happened, but the Pokegods were looking out. That said, the demographic in my area looks and sounds different than this group. I'm just saying.🤷
These stores have got to do better. There is no way they didn't know this was going to happen. How could they possibly cut 50% off of one of the most popular brands on Earth and NOT know this was going to happen. Only stocking 16, them getting put out early so folks bought at full price ( just to use Target's policy to get price matched), and then not having a limit per person.
@@RonnieSportz Reputation. Customer Service. They had an opportunity to knock this thing out of the park with Pokemon fans and have nothing but great PR but now their known for this crap shoot of a sale.
Wow imagine being so greedy you want to resell these at a profit. I'd take maybe 2-3 or even 1 of each ETB then leave. I like collecting cards, but taking an entire stock would be a d'ck move. That's how you get people hating you. Edit: My one store has cards placed in a glass cabinet, to prevent theft and stuff like this happening. If the store was smart they would put a purchase limit of 2 per customer for the ETBs.
He waited and he’s paying for it the store it’s self has no limit so I dont see how he’s in the wrong, although it does suck he didn’t do anything wrong
Honestly the guy shouldn’t even have a thanksgiving dinner this week. What’s he grateful for anyway when he displays this kind of behavior 😂 I was tempted to go in the morning but I didn’t wanna deal with a crowd. Didn’t buy an ETB at all as I’m just gonna put most of my money on the S&V era booster boxes.
People that do stuff like this and same with the incident at Costco I really trying to ruin this hobby. I watched this and one it will discourage me to go to the store and two it makes me a little embarrassed to be part of the hobby. I don’t wanna be grouped with people like this. People need to calm down store owners need to put limits.
Well, if there is NO limit and he was first in line, technically he does have dibs. He didnt have to be a dick and grab the whole display, but he was entitled to it IMO.
So sad i loved pokemon i collected the cards in my binder and sleeved it all for 15 years for the love of the hobby now its all about making money. Another childs hobby ruined by fucking adults. Sad
My man is like, get away, they're all mine!! 😂💀 I got 10 from a fresh rack yesterday. 5 minutes later, they were gone. But at least 6 ppl were able to buy them.
Grown ass men acting this way for pokemon cards its ridiculous, that happened at the target i went to, dudes fighting and running their mouths infront of kids. It makes each and everyone of us look like douche bags! Honestly i dont even blame them. I was embarrased that i was there for the same thing these two a-holes fighting for the whole display. It was truly disgusting!

Yea I noticed that while editing, left it cuase I brought it was ironic 😂😂😂
@@DrApplesauceTwo all good man, I just noticed it and had to point it out lol! Anyways.. love the content my dude ♥️ ✌️
Lol and dude was indeed a scum bag 💯🤣
I like how he hands a box out saying “thanks for not being an A hole”. Like your not the A hole!!
That’s Targets fault!! They know what happens
Exactly!
my target still keeps all Pokemon behind customer service counter, and I didn't find any of the 20$ ETBs, but I did find some surging sparks ETBs
Those ETB's should have been limit to 1 per person on store. And put displays each of the days the sale runs for.
They should have prioritize ETB's for store with limit so everyone could have one or two in some day of the week
Just went to my local target yesterday just to look at cards and they were restocking 151, literally didn’t even touch the shelf and 2 people grabbed all them. These stores should limit how many ever customer can buy
Targets in the Midwest haven't had limits in 2 years

I’m so glad my Target had a limit and were handing them out to people.

Appreciate it, glad you got one!
That guy holding the entire box should be glad one of the guys there didnt pull out a gun because last time someone brought a gun to a scalp fight 😂
Now, I won’t be too upset if I miss out on this.
Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it.
Online is the way to go, dont have to deal with this. Have to have notifications on though and be quick and they have had 2 sizeable restocks maybe more to come
Exactly, most of my collection was bought online from trusted sellers. never had a problem.
Here we go again it’s like 2020-21 all over again.
There probably is a limit but he didn't find out until he got to the register. When I was in college I worked at Target & regardless of if we had a limit or not I use to just say we did. My manager always backed me bc of "right to refuse service"
Why blur his face. Geez.

I was there at noon absolutely nothing left. They should have limited it to 2 or 3.
honestly, it's more annoying that those idiots let that guy have it. Like defend yourself.
defend themself from what? lol he had posession of the display and going after him is battery. It's already a bad look that scuffle happened, that is not a hill to die on.

Target has 18 ETB total and runs this blow out sale lol. They should have just left them at msrp.

Brings me back to the Amsterdam Van Gogh museum. 😅
Oh man! It is similar vibes lol
100% 😂
My targets have a 5 item per day limit. I don't know if it's 5 individual products or any different products
Mine too
I blame the store. Should be limit of 3 or even 1 per person.
Agreed.
A lot of targets had a 1 per person limit which is the way it should have been handled nationwide
Me and my friend were lucky enough to get 5 total through the online restock
My target didn’t have these or some one already took it all, I also went to the card section and they only had one pack of Pokemon only lol well my target sucks I went there for nothing so I just buy poke cards online now such as Amazon or other stores
If they start taxing re sale. This would not be a problem.
TARGET wins; super effective!
Lop
Reminds me of the Costco 151 Mini Tins 🤣
Right? lol
@ Costco did have a good price for the 151 tho $3.7/pack
I don’t think god loves that scalper
There’s too many people in this hobby
Too many animals and assholes.
My target was sold out last week at 40 a pop
It actually does entitle him to buy the whole thing.
it's called america and capatilism
And this is called an ignorant comment.
BRUH lol my whole area was sold out but I heard that they might restock Friday?

Lucky I already have a master set for all those ETB sets
Love your intro. God bless! I subscribed because of that
I appreciate that! Glad you liked it!
Its crazy because some people just want atleast 1
crazy, that is not right
Not about the target deal, dude love that shirt. Where did you get that?
I got it at a convention years ago
O bummer, maybe I’ll come across one someday 👍

This is why I'm trying to spend less and less on Pokemon. These people seem crazy or overhype the product.
Imo i think pokemon should bring down there prices any ways on etbs.

scalpers, and collectors falling for fomo is ruining this hobby.
Likely people going strait to whatnot and getting $5-$6 a pack. Much better margins
Crazy
Realistically all these videos people make I mean like everyone and their mom be making videos
I hope Target sees this and puts limits next time. It’s a liability

Aye I see you steady commenting though 😜

It’s a shame that adults act like that but that’s what happens when worldly things like money become your idol
Well said
f that guy, but also that's on Target too for NOT understanding their products and how pricing will create these scenarios. Limits man limits.
Targets are SUPPOSED to have limits
Any time I encounter another hunter, we always split the product and have a good chat, become friends! That’s what makes this community great ☮️💟
there obviously wasnt enough to go around 🫤
You guys really need to find a job and fill out applications
I have a fantastic job, thanks.
@DrApplesauceTwo you don't have a job if you are fighting over cardboard cards bruh miss me wit the bs
@DrApplesauceTwo lol he said I got a job but he is at target a 5 am fighting over pokemon cards 😆😆 working for mom and dad don't count bud
did you even watch the video? Saying Im in the video at target, when I clearly state that its not me. lol. Be a better troll
Scalpers wanna scalp collectors wanna collect and I don’t want none of the above I just want the pikachu yes I do charizard too boo hoo hoo 😢
Unblur the face 😈
that was up to the original creator
So sad i loved pokemon i collected the cards in my binder and sleeved it all for 15 years for the love of the hobby now its all about making money. Another childs hobby ruined by fucking adults. Sad
literally bought 21 boxes online. I am not a scalper but its was alot cheaper to buy these instead of booster boxes to complete my sets.
Wth is wrong with people
the thing is he scalper didnt wait in line he ran in when they opened and cut off everyone.
The dude who was saying he got there at 6?
So few Pokemon fans are left these days

Its one video and one incident across the whole country, and nobody fought
