To S&R Membership Shopping and Landers Superstore,

We, Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) players, collectors, parents, and fans in the Philippines, respectfully ask you to consider carrying official Pokémon TCG products in your stores.

Pokémon TCG is no longer a small niche hobby. The Philippine community has grown substantially, with more players, collectors, families, and hobbyists getting into the game. Competitive participation has also grown, while demand for authentic sealed products continues to expand.

And there is a clear retail precedent. Both internationally and here in the Philippines.

LOOK AT THE MARKET, BOTH ABROAD AND HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

In the United States, major retailers have recognized the commercial potential of Pokémon TCG and trading cards.

Target reported that its trading-card business grew nearly 70% year-to-date in 2025 and was on track to exceed US$1 billion in sales, with Pokémon cards accounting for the majority of its trading-card sales in spring 2025. Target’s trading-card business report⁠

Costco also sells Pokémon TCG products, including premium collections and multi-pack offerings, with some products subject to purchase limits. Costco’s Pokémon TCG listings⁠

And this isn’t just an American phenomenon.

Here in the Philippines, Toy Kingdom already carries official Pokémon TCG products. Its website specifically highlights original Pokémon Trading Card Game sets and lists products such as booster packs, premium boxes and Elite Trainer Boxes for Filipino collectors and players.

The market is already here.

S&R & Landers, it’s your move. Bring Pokémon TCG to your stores!

WHY S&R AND LANDERS?

1. Give members access to authentic products.

Collectors and players shouldn’t have to rely solely on specialty stores, online marketplaces or informal sellers to find legitimate sealed products.

2. Tap into a growing hobby with multigenerational appeal.

Pokémon isn’t just for children. Many adults who grew up with Pokémon are now collectors, players and parents buying products for their own families.

3. Create another reason for customers to visit.

Pokémon TCG has regular expansions, releases and special collections. That creates recurring interest rather than a one-time purchase.

4. Complement your existing product mix.

Pokémon TCG fits naturally alongside toys, games, entertainment, collectibles and family-oriented products.

5. Support the Philippine TCG community.

Greater access to officially distributed products through established retailers can give Filipino players and collectors more choices when purchasing authentic products.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO ALL-IN.

Start small. Test the market.

S&R and Landers could begin with a limited assortment:

• Booster packs
• Booster bundles
• Elite Trainer Boxes
• Collection boxes
• Special sets
• Premium collections

Track the sales.

See what customers buy.

Then decide whether to expand.

If Target, Costco and Walmart can recognize the commercial potential of Pokémon TCG in the United States—and Toy Kingdom is already selling official Pokémon TCG products in the Philippines—there is a strong reason for S&R and Landers to explore the category as well.

S&R and Landers, it’s time to bring Pokémon TCG to the warehouse!

Give Filipino players and collectors another place to catch, collect, trade and battle.
