I recently went out with my son to pick up some Pokemon cards during a restock at Target Orlando, and it quickly became clear that scalpers were dominating the scene. Despite Target's policy of limiting purchases to two per person, many scalpers arrived with carts full of cards, making it difficult for genuine collectors to get what they wanted. These scalpers were not only taking large quantities but were also verbally aggressive towards other customers, creating a hostile environment. It was disheartening to see people who were just there to enjoy the hobby being intimidated and pushed aside. From my experience, the current policy seems insufficient to deter scalpers who exploit the system. One idea could be for Target to implement stricter monitoring, such as digital purchase limits or staff directly overseeing the purchase process during high-demand restocks. As a parent and Pokemon fan, I also noticed the impact this has on young collectors and families trying to join the fun. It’s important that stores like Target consider improved measures to create a fair shopping experience for everyone, ensuring that Pokemon enthusiasts—especially kids—can access cards without stress or unfair competition. If you’re planning to shop during popular restocks, I recommend arriving early, being patient, and staying aware of store policies. Supporting local hobby shops or official online releases may also be alternatives to avoid the scalping frenzy. Ultimately, a fairer system would benefit both the community and retailers by promoting trust and accessibility rather than frustration and exclusion.
