Collectors Flock to Macedonia Store for Limited 30th Anniversary Product
MACEDONIA, Ohio – Pokémon fans lined up outside the Best Buy on January 30 before the store opened, hoping to snag the newly released Pokémon TCG: Pokémon Day 2026 Collection, a limited-edition commemorative product celebrating the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Despite purchase limits, the Macedonia location sold out in 10 minutes or less.
The Pokémon Day 2026 Collection, priced at $14.99, includes a stamped foil Pikachu promo card, a 30th anniversary metallic coin, and three booster packs from the new Ascended Heroes set. Best Buy positioned it as a highly limited, early-release item tied to the milestone anniversary celebration.
“It was a madhouse,” said one shopper who arrived early. “People were lined up before the doors even opened, and by the time I got to the register, they were already telling us it was gone.”
The Macedonia Best Buy’s rapid sell-out mirrors what happened at other Best Buy locations nationwide on the same day. Reseller guides and hobby news outlets had warned collectors in advance that the product would be scarce, with tight purchase limits (typically 1–4 items per customer) expected across major retailers including Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop.
Social media posts from January 30 confirm that many Best Buy stores experienced similar quick sell-outs, with some locations completely running out of related Pokémon products in under two hours despite strict per-person limits. The scarcity has already driven the collection to secondary markets like eBay, where sealed units are selling well above the $14.99 retail price.
The Pokémon Company and retailers anticipated high demand for the 30th anniversary release, but the speed of sell-outs suggests allocations were even tighter than expected. Collectors who missed out at brick-and-mortar stores are now turning to online resale platforms, where prices have climbed significantly.
For those still hunting for the Pokémon Day 2026 Collection, Best Buy’s website shows limited in-store pickup availability at select locations, though stock varies widely. Hobby shops and other retailers may still have inventory, though supplies are expected to remain extremely limited.
