Pokémon Center hit with long queues after surprise Ascended Heroes TCG drop

The Pokémon Center launched a surprise drop of the highly sought-after "Ascended Heroes" trading card game products, sending the site's queue timer into overdrive. The drop is unrelated to the 30th anniversary TCG collection and instead bundles several well-regarded Pokémon card sets. Collectors faced hours-long virtual queues to secure their purchases.
