What retailers do you cover at launch?
Day one: Walmart and Target (US) only. Pokémon TCG sealed is live; One Piece Card Game is rolling onto the same watchlist. Best Buy and Pokémon Center are documented for later — not live yet. More retailers only after W+T stays solid.
Do you cover One Piece Card Game?
Rolling out. Pokémon TCG is live on the shared Walmart + Target catalog. One Piece Card Game is adding to that same watchlist (English sealed, Sold & shipped preferred). We don’t claim a big One Piece catalog until confirmed slots exist — soft language: Pokémon now · One Piece adding.
Is this auto-checkout / ACO?
No. DropSignal is alerts only. You get the ping; you decide whether to buy. We don’t place orders or enter Walmart Collectibles Drawings for you.
How is this different from free Discords or PokeNotify?
Those blast everything to everyone — a firehose. DropSignal filters to your watchlist so you’re not living in 50 channels for MSRP sealed product. We compete on signal-to-noise, not “fastest ping in 40 servers.”
Do I get Discord by joining the waitlist?
No. The waitlist is email only until you pay. Optional Discord handle on the form is so we can send a private invite after checkout — it does not unlock alerts now.
Is there a public Discord invite?
No. There is no public discord.gg on this site. Paid members get Discord alerts through a one-time private invite (or a handle add) after Stripe. That keeps the channel quiet.
What is the Collector role?
Collector is the Discord role unlocked after Stripe pay. It unlocks #founding-alerts (hidden from @everyone). Cancel removes Collector — channel access ends with membership. Waitlist never grants it.
How will I get alerts?
Waitlist: email updates only. After you subscribe: Discord (private channel) plus email. Fast enough to matter. No public firehose.
What does founding pricing lock mean?
$6.99/mo or $69/yr for founding seats, locked for 12 months. 7-day trial on both. After the lock, standard rates may apply. Seats are capped.
When do Walmart and Target usually restock?
Collector patterns often show Walmart evening waves (around midweek nights ET) and Target overnight windows. Drops still happen off-schedule — we watch continuously and only ping your list. We never guarantee a clock time.
Walmart Collectibles Drawing vs DropSignal — do you enter for me?
No. We alert. We do not enter Walmart Collectibles Drawings (lotteries) for you, and we don’t claim lottery wins. Walmart sometimes sells hot sealed that way instead of an open add-to-cart. DropSignal is still useful: we watch Walmart ATC windows (when a listing is cartable, not lottery-only) plus Target, where drops stay add-to-cart. Drawings are a separate Walmart process you enter yourself.
Will you cover Pokémon 30th Celebration (Sep 16)?
Yes — it’s on our shared catalog (ETB, Poster, Knock Out, Sylveon/Greninja ex Boxes on Walmart + Target; Tech Sticker on Target; Oct Booster Bundle; later Ditto/UPC prelists). You still only get pinged if those SKUs match your watch terms. We don’t promise you’ll win a drop.
Are you affiliated with Pokémon, Nintendo, Bandai, Walmart, or Target?
No. DropSignal is an independent alert tool for collectors. We don’t use official trademarks or logos on this site. Product names (Pokémon TCG, One Piece Card Game) are descriptive only.
