Publisher: Gaming / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Instagram /News / Discord/ Forums

If some product is highly coveted and there are shortages or limited print runs, it is a fact that the resale scene will do its thing in search of a great deal. Unfortunately, this type of activity has increased with the pandemic and there are times when chaos has broken out in search of securing a copy, a unit or a package, as in the case of Pokémon Trading Card Game and what happened in a Walmart branch.

It's not even a purchase anymore, it's Pokémon card theft

Pokémon cards have become one of the most desired products, not to play, but to resell, and the fact is that demand has exceeded supply so that there are those who are willing to pay a higher price for single cards, decks or packages. This has caused various incidents in supermarkets, where sales have even been suspended due to disorder and violence by buyers. Recently, a reddit user shared an image of the shelf in the toy department of a Walmart branch where someone, or some, stole all the Pokémon cards they could.

This form of Pokémon card theft has become common

Was this an organized coup or was there violence? According to the user's testimony, no, those interested in the cards simply entered the store, went to the shelf where the packages were located and through a cut in the back of each one, they stole the cards without any consequences at that time. .

According to the comments on the publication, even from some users who claim to be Walmart employees or ex-workers, this type of situation has become common regarding this type of product and the thieves only need that there are some people in the area to operate quickly and get away with it.
