So much for going to Target.

I hope this means that LCS will get a reasonable allocation of product. I have a couple of associates who own good shops who would gladly expand but they simply cannot get new unopened product.

That would be a nice unintended benefit.

What's the line on a fight over cards breaking out at the National this year?

About the same as a fight over a place in line at the gas station currently...

Ironically this Target announcement seems to allow sales of NHL cards, because we all know that Hockey is the most fight inducing of all the major North American sports.

LOL

They also seem to allow the sales of Magic: The Gathering, a game in which you have your creatures enter into combat.

Our understanding is ALL collectible cards will not be sold in the Target retail stores beginning May 14th but will be available on-line in two or three weeks-- so assume bots will get it all?

That's a shame. Though I haven't seen cards on a local Target shelf in years!

Our target has specifically stated magic, soccer, hockey and some other I forget product will be on shelves the rest will be pulled it is absolutely not all products at some targets. Maybe yours is different but I know of several that made that statement. I only know this because my friend owns the local shop so I am in their a lot and hear people talking about this new stuff and even grabbed some boxes one day because I was in target and saw them stocking. Say what you want I wasn’t letting the money just lie there for someone else to make. Ow clowns fighting over cards are funny and despite teds post modern is still incredibly strong it’s not collapsing despite his claims.

From what I understand the breakers are getting the bulk of allocations since they are willing to pay higher prices than LCS's to get product... Have heard this from several LCS's.
