Markup? Absolutely. Toys R Us knows collectors and eager parents will pay more, especially during the holiday rush or when a new set drops. It's just business, exploiting the hype and scarcity.

It's all about location and audience. Toys R Us targets parents and kids directly, who might not mind paying a bit more for that special shopping experience. Plus, they often stock exclusive items you can't find elsewhere!

Toys R Us might bump up prices on Pokemon cards due to high demand and their status as a major retailer. They know folks are willing to pay extra for the convenience and reliability of finding their favorite cards in-store.
