Jewel’s Pokemon Centre halts card set launch amid 1,000-strong crowd; police called in

SINGAPORE - The Pokemon Centre Singapore halted sales of a new trading card game set in its Jewel Changi Airport store on Jan 17, after large crowds showed up hours ahead of its 10am launch. By about 9.15am, the crowd had swelled to more than 1,000 people and obstructed several walkways in the area, the police said.


Videos posted on social media platforms show throngs of people outside the retail outlet, eager to get their hands on the latest Prismatic Evolutions set featuring fan-favourite Pokemon Eevee and its evolved forms.

One TikTok user said fans had started queueing from 11pm the night before. The police said that they received a call for assistance at about 6.10am and found more than 200 people gathered outside the store when they arrived. Minutes later, the group had swelled to over 500 people, before reaching its peak of more than 1,000 people around 9.15am.

The Pokemon Centre called off the product launch around 9.20am, and officers from the Airport Police Division helped with crowd dispersal.
