Target recently launched a new line of Pokémon-themed water bottles produced alongside Owala. The popular collection officially went on sale on September 16, but some observant shoppers noticed products in stores prior to the scheduled date.

High store visits at Target locations will likely decide how well the exclusive bottles perform. Meanwhile, Pokémon retailers are actively fighting scalpers who hoard merchandise at marked-up rates.

Both platforms, Mercari and Pokémon, blocked listings of sealed 30th anniversary products from their marketplaces. Consequently, many collectors experienced having Pokémon TCG orders terminated without warning.

Overseas, Pokémon Center advance orders for 30th anniversary items across Britain experienced setbacks, disappointing eager buyers across the pond.
