UK Toy Shop Issues Warning Over Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Demand
The Toy Box in Beccles, England says it received over 500 messages in one week as Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration stock remains scarce.
The Toy Box, a small toy shop in Beccles, England, has issued an official warning about overwhelming demand for Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration products, according to Screen Rant.
Dan Lovett, who is in charge of the shop, said on social media that The Toy Box receives only a very small allocation of stock and cannot continuously place orders.
The shop received more than 500 messages in a single week, along with walk-in queries and phone calls, asking for the cards.
The Pokémon Company has implemented a lottery-based system at Pokémon Centers in Japan to purchase 30th Celebration boosters, limiting how many each chosen person can buy.
Ongoing shortages
The 30th Celebration set proved extremely popular when it was released in September, leading to near-instant shortages across shops. Scalpers in the Pokémon TCG community have been a problem for years, and the franchise is completing its 30th anniversary.
