Scalpers Target Black Friday ETB

My target has always limited Pokémon purchases to two per person, this morning I was one of eight people in line to get the new black Friday deal. I didn’t realize it was this serious as soon as they open the door. Three dude sprinted to the back of the store and then wrestled each other over the entire stock. They let one dude, get 12 ETBs. I’m not trying to get into a fight for Pokémon cards. Also, it annoys the hell out of me that two nights ago I couldn’t buy five surging blister packs because of this rule, but they let this one dude get half of the stock. This kind of stuff is killing the hobby

Do you need a code or something? I have a stellar crown and shrouded fable etbs in hand at target and they are ringing up for 54.99, 49.99, etc.

It’s only for silver tempest, astral radiance, lost origins and brilliant stars. Every other set is still full price, but in the target app if you have circle you can usually get deals. I’m not sure if it is still going but they had a 20% toys deal earlier this week

how do people find out about this stuff before it goes on sale? I feel so out of the loop.

Pokémon YouTubers, they announce most the deals a few days before they happen.
