Overview
- This week the Pokémon Center cancelled a large wave of orders for the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration set according to screenshots and posts shared across X and Reddit.
- Reports and screenshots from multiple fan accounts say the cancellations targeted botted and reseller purchases but also swept up ordinary customers who placed single, manual orders.
- The company has not issued a detailed public explanation for the cancellations and coverage relies mainly on community-sourced evidence rather than an official accounting of how many orders were affected.
- The cancellations follow earlier measures tied to this release, including Japan-only limits on some pricey boxes and a separate CEVA Logistics-related cyberincident that disrupted European orders.
- High demand for the nostalgia-driven 30th Celebration set, which reprints chase cards like the Base Set Charizard, has fuelled bot activity and resale listings and may reduce collectors’ access and push aftermarket prices higher.
