Videos Show Fight Break Out At Costco Over Pokémon Cards, And I Don’t Know How To Feel About It

On the one hand, I view these people as idiots. On the other, I understand the hype with Pokémon.

Wild videos show people fighting it out in a Costco in order to grab a piece of the new Pokémon card collection, with one guy apparently getting popped in the face with an elbow while scrappin’ it out with a fellow customer. Employees tried to break things up and get it back at a peaceful level, according to a company representative, but the shoppers weren’t going for it.

The incident happened at Atwater Village in Los Angeles.

A representative of Costco who works at the location told TMZ that employees responded to consumers fighting in the rush for profit (we’ll get to that here in a moment). Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. Police weren’t contacted, no one was arrested and Costco is dealing with everything internally.

WATCH:

The Pokémon cards at issue here are the 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection, valued at $120-150 online. At Costco, they’re being sold for less than $60, so in other words, there’s a ton of money to be made when it comes to reselling.

So as a hustler myself, I get it, but man, do we have to look so ignorant in the process? And over a huge part of my childhood?!
