UK retailer GAME accused of ‘scalping’ its own Pokémon cards by its own staff Following the launch of a new set of Pokémon trading cards, GAME has been spotted selling small card tins on its website for over £30.
Last month, The Pokémon Company released a new Prismatic Evolutions expansion for the Pokémon trading card game, which added over 175 cards.
Despite the tins’ small size, though (GAME’s website even describes them as ‘Pokémon favourites in the palm of your hand’), GAME classifies them as an ‘oversized delivery,’ meaning you’ll be charged an extra £19.99 in delivery costs.
What’s more, staff also alleged that too much of GAME’s stock is only available online, with what little Pokémon cards the actual stores do have turning up late, resulting in a lot of disgruntled and angry customers who were told they’d arrive at launch.
But that’s precisely what’s happened with GAME and the newest set of Pokémon trading cards.
