Pokemon TCG Fans Shocked to See Full Shelves in Massive Card Restock

by

Ever since the launch of “Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions” earlier this year, finding Pokemon TCG cards has become an elusive task. Even older sets from the Scarlet & Violet era have mysteriously disappeared from store shelves, leaving only empty spots where cards used to be. It’s almost shocking when one stumbles upon stock in the Pokemon TCG section nowadays, as evident by fans’ excitement over a significant restock at certain local retailers today. Collectors are sharing photos of fully-stocked shelves filled with Pokemon TCG boosters and boxes at some local Walmart stores. These well-stocked shelves may not last long, but for many weary fans, it’s a welcome relief to see such sights.

In many stores, you’ll find shelves stocked with older card sets, but some fortunate buyers have stumbled upon the new sets like Scarlet & Violet – 151 and even the elusive Prismatic Evolutions sets amidst the restocked items. These discoveries are being reported frequently in the r/PokemonTCG subreddit, a community where players discuss their struggles and triumphs while collecting Pokemon cards during these trying times. It seems that most of the restocks are happening in Walmart stores, although not all shoppers are disclosing the exact locations of their finds. With scalpers likely to flock to the unveiled spots, it’s sensible for buyers to keep quiet about their discoveries.

The recent restock offers an extensive collection of merchandise related to the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG), specifically items themed around Scarlet & Violet. Interestingly, some older sets have been incorporated too, such as mini tins containing cards from Vivid Voltage (2020) and Chilling Reign (2021). It seems that Walmart has procured a wide range of Pokemon TCG products, subsequently displaying them all at once. Even if it’s not the complete stock of Prismatic Evolutions, having Pokemon cards back on store shelves again is quite satisfying.

Walmart Pokemon Card Restock Likely Won’t Last Long

Although there’s much enthusiasm about the new card restocks, many Pokemon TCG enthusiasts are skeptical that the current surge will be sustainable. Some collectors have already scoured other stores like Target, finding their shelves still bare. As eager fans share their purchases, others express frustration at seeing just how many packs a single customer has bought. It seems that Walmart is the latest retailer to overlook setting limits on the restocked cards, causing people to stockpile them. Those who can’t drop everything and rush to Walmart when they hear about the restocks wish that more cards would remain available for others.

Currently, it appears Walmart is the main retailer where the latest Pokemon TCG restock can be found. Occasionally, some Sword & Shield era cards are reported to be available at other stores such as Walgreens, but mostly full shelves have been reported from Walmart outlets. Given the large number of items and the fact that not all restocked cards are new or rare, this could be a great opportunity for fans to purchase Pokemon cards in person after several months. The news comes as a relief for enthusiasts who eagerly await the thrill of opening real-life packs again, especially since the presales for the new Super Collection for Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions have gone as expected.
