I’ve used TCGplayer to buy a good amount of sealed packs and they have reputable sellers on there !

If you're looking to find them in bigger shops I think Smyths and Argos are decent shouts, Game sometimes has stuff but it can be overpriced, HMV can sometimes have newer stock too. Other than that there's a lot of online stores like MagicMadhouse and TotalCards out of the bigger ones.

ebay, tcgplayer, troll and toad, r/pkmntcgtrades

I'm a fan of kasecollect.com cause they're local to me. They give out free booster packs and gx cards with every order.

if I need like 1 card that's 20 cents I'll go on ebay. It usually costs more than like troll and toad but you usually get free shipping and the shipping on troll and toad is sometimes more than the cards. Otherwise, troll and toad

Best place I found was collectors cashe. They have booster boxes that’s 36 packs for $89

YGPM :)

Are you collecting or playing? Finding sealed will be near impossible right now. Individual cards can be traded or bought on tcgplayer to make decks

This thread made me feel old. I had no idea this was still a thing. I haven’t heard about Pokémon cards in 25 years. 

Anyone know where to buy sealed boxes at retail price? It’s a barren wasteland out here…

Rally Squirrel Cards in Mint Hill. They have a great selection of cards and have collectors night on some Saturdays to trade with other collectors

I have a binder of a bunch of late 1990s cards if you have $1,000. (no idea what they’re actually worth)

Safari zone in Smyrna

95 game center on centerville rd

Starlight games in suburban plaza

EG collectibles in Bear DE Safari zone in Smyrna Does 2 are my favorite and always go to Other places Do big things collectibles New castle 95 game center Wilmington Born to game Middletown and Dover

if you don't mind korean this is a great site, guaranteed rare cards in each box unlike english sets

nowhere anymore lol (unless you want japanese, chinese, or korean boxes. for those ebay is solid if you check seller reviews!)

wait a year

Try TKO Toys on Woodlawn

GameStop in the mall usually has some, outside of Guelph I’d recommend Atlas in Hamilton or J&J’s in Kitchener

TKO Toy is the place to go

https://tkotoyco.com/

Microplay on Silvercreek also has a modest selection

So this is a tough question. Pokemon is going through a massive surge right now - it’s almost impossible to buy anything reasonable at MSRP unless you happen to get a restock at the right time. Scalpers are running rampant in the hobby right now so a lot of the GameStop, Walmart and toys r us restocks sell out almost instantly (sometimes with lines at open). If you’re lucky those places have them - for reference GameStop had a small surging sparks, Journey together and scarlet/violet restock this past Friday that was gone almost immediately.

To echo above points Brodie’s and TKO are the BEST 2 Pokemon shops in town. TKO focuses more on modern sealed and singles with an amazing Japanese selection as well. Their prices are competitive for the hobby/market but you’re not getting cheap retail prices. Brodie’s is better for single modern packs but their true specialty is higher end vintage imo. If you want to open a base set from 1999 they have them! Their modern is a little higher priced than TKO but it’s a wonderful store. I frequent both.

If it’s a pretty young kid, I used to buy huge lots of cards off EBay. Unless pack opening, set building or current card pulls are the goal

As of last week, the McDonald's happy meal included Pokemon cards! Idk if that's still a thing

Totally Awesome Comics in Mebane has a great selection!

Picante on high point rd :) stop in at box seat while you’re in the area!!

Nerd bombers and mckays sometimes have smaller pull packs. If you’re wanting starter sets etc picante, or other card shops in the area have some options that you’d expect to potentially see at target / walmart.

If you want to put together your own packs mckays has a crap ton of loose Pokémon on cards that you can purchase “in bulk” (granted mckays isn’t super local anymore, both Winston and mebane options are a great visit)

There’s nothing. The scalpers around here got everything

Somebody already caught them all

Sarasota Toy Mueseum

Apparently not Target

I would try Descent into Gaming and The Dark Side.
