Whether it be chicken lawn decorations or seasonal snacks, the products that Costco sells consistently generate enthusiasm on the internet. As for the most recent product that has been generating a lot of attention, it is anticipated that it will sell out very quickly; in fact, warehouse clubs are putting purchasing limitations in place.
This week, a number of Costco customers rushed to Reddit to announce that the retail giant is now offering little tins of Pokémon cards that come in packs of five. The box consists of ten TCG (Trading Card Game) booster packs, five Pokémon graphic cards, five Pokémon stickers, and four promotional cards, as seen in a picture that was uploaded to Reddit by a user. In the picture that is being shown, the product is being sold for a price of $37.99, and each consumer is only allowed to purchase three packets. Nevertheless, rates are subject to change depending on the location.
It has been suggested by consumers that the desire for these trading cards is due to the fact that they are unique. There is a guy on Reddit who claims that the red boxes contain Pokémon 151 packs, which are a 2023 release that is “currently extremely difficult to find.”
They are “highly sought-after” because the pack is a “ode to the original 151 Pokémon from the 1990s,” and the demand has increased since those who grew up with the cards “are coming back into the hobby.” This is what the Redditor stated about these cards.
It has been reported by Screen Rant that the exclusive bundle sold at Costco contains unique 151-themed goodies that are not otherwise available anywhere else. As a consequence of the restricted availability of this item and the fact that it is only available at Costco, collectors are forced to depend on resellers, which also results in increased costs.
According to customers, the restrictions on purchases that may be made at Costco seem to differ throughout the various warehouse clubs.
“Limit 10 – I saw two guys running on opening day and loading up carts, only to be told, limit 10,” the speaker said. One of the users on Reddit said in a different post that “the lady stood there and made them put the rest back.”
An further individual responded, “At our place, we had a limit of three.”
On the other hand, it seems that not every business is enforcing purchase limitations, which makes it even more difficult to acquire trade cards.
According to the information provided by a member of Costco, “We didn’t have a limit at my Costco, and the entire pallet sold in thirty minutes.”
“Mine weren’t restricted and they were gone within the initial hour yesterday morning 😭,” a another individual said.
Keeping this in mind, if you are a fan of Pokémon (or if you are wanting to give a present to someone who is a fan of Pokémon), you should get to Costco as soon as possible since it is unknown how long the warehouse club will have the cards in store.
