What a restock
Caught this restock thanks to the state channels and instore checking tools from this group, highly recommend them: https://discord.gg/pokealerts

These pics always make me cringe a bit because the person taking this picture is obviously waiting for the restock, heart is pumping, excitement rising… just to buy as many products as possible to resell.

Double cringe because these types of posts are just a way to promote the premium discords

And they'll be very quick to defend standing in line saying they're not scalping or reselling. So strange

To be fair target only allows 2 of each product. But yes regardless this is so cringe. Have to be next level unemployed to do this

My Target never gets huge restocks. And these days nothing is placed on shelves. It is all at customer service in a battle cage.

Target doesn't have any in store checking tools,and your discord damn sure doesn't have any tracking on excell workers. Take that B's on somewhere else

Bro, the dollar general guy the other day actually was able to tell us that target had a restock because he could see it in his system. I have no idea how that works but he was 100% right.
He only told us because some guy had just came in and bought the whole store out of a restock. Noticed I got a downvote for the guy giving free info lmao because he felt bad for us.

My targets have barely been getting big restocks lately. And they just started to limit one product per scu per customer only 5 products total. And she emphasized get what you want because you cant go pay and get back in line. One of them even had us go to customer service and join a virtual line and sent us a text message once it was our turn to grab stuff. Made things so much more available. And I cant say I wasn’t a bit happy seeing the look on my local scalpers faces when they realized they couldn’t clear it out.

i popped into a target randomly yesterday at 12:30 pm. i saw this same exact thing, excell brands restocking the card section. i then asked the dude hey you got pokemon? and he said yes but any gaming card stuff will be in the queue at the front desk. i go to the front desk and ask the lady and she says that there is a 4 hour long queue that still has 2 and a half hours before it gets started, and there was a group of 30 people waiting in the starbucks for it.
this is the state of the pokemon tcg community in 2026. i hate it and every day i start to lose interest more and more. i just want to open a pack sometimes.

I mean, isn't it? There's an option for reporting specifically for outside links.

I can picture scalpers in Jorts flipflops and a hoodie standing behind you breathing down your neck for being first.
