Did you miss out on the 30th Anniversary Pokémon TCG chaos? Target might just be your saving grace today.
The major US retailer dropped a fresh wave of Pokémon TCG stock online on September 25, and it includes some of the most sought-after sets right now. We're talking 30th Anniversary Celebration ETBs, Pitch Black booster bundles, Ascended Heroes sticker collections, and plenty more. If you've been trying to grab these at MSRP instead of paying resale prices, this is your window.
Let's start with the headliner: the 30th Anniversary Celebration ETB is listed at $69.99 at Target. That's a solid $20 cheaper than Amazon's invite-request price of $89.99, and a massive steal compared to the resale market, where these are sitting around $200. Even if you somehow prefer Amazon's option, either price beats what scalpers are asking.
But honestly? The Pitch Black booster bundle at $31.99 might be the real winner here. That works out to just $5.31 per pack across six boosters, which is the best price we've seen on these all year. Amazon had them at $39.99 recently, so Target is undercutting even that. If you're a pack-ripping addict, this is the one to grab.
Also worth a look: Ascended Heroes sticker collections are just $19.99, and you can choose between Gastly or Charmander. Both are great prices for what you get, and they're perfect for collectors who want something a little different from standard boosters.
One important tip: these restocks are coming in short waves throughout the day, so don't panic if something shows as out of stock. Keep refreshing and checking back, because stock will keep appearing today and possibly into the weekend. If you're struggling to add items to your cart, try clicking "See All Buying Options" to find the sold-and-shipped-by-Amazon listings.
Speaking of Amazon, it also restocked its 30th Celebration Booster Bundles for $45, which is way below the current market rate of around $122.64 on TCGplayer. Same advice applies there: add to your wishlist and keep checking, because those are moving in waves too.
The 30th anniversary set has been a nightmare to find since preorders went live. It's officially available worldwide now, but the secondary market is still absolute chaos, with queues stretching out the doors at retailers globally. If you're lucky enough to rip some packs, keep an eye out for the top-valued cards in the set, because the median prices are still wild.
So, will you be trying your luck with Target's restock today? Or are you holding out for a better deal?
