Target Enforces Strict Rules for Pokémon's 30th Anniversary Card Release

Target is implementing unusually strict security measures and policies for the September 16 release of its Pokémon 30th Anniversary Trading Cards. Reports indicate that stores are deploying additional staff to manage parking lot traffic, enforce no-lawn-chair line claims in some locations, and control customer entry once lines form. While Target has not officially announced specific drop times online, social media experts predict links will go live around midnight PT on September 16. The retailer is also featuring elaborate product displays near electronics sections that include both the anniversary cards and recent exclusive Owala bottle launches.
