Bic Camera Tokyo Branch Requires Pokémon Quiz to Prevent Card Scalping

Story Summary

To combat scalpers, Bic Camera's Ikebukuro West branch in Tokyo mandates passing a 15-question Pokémon quiz in Japanese before purchasing the Ninja Spinner expansion. Buyers must also hold a loyalty account, and staff open boxes to prevent resale of sealed products. While some find the test simple, others report difficulty, prompting calls for similar measures nationwide amid rising global card thefts and robbery incidents.
