Government regulations block specific merchandise from being stocked at Pokemon Center Singapore

Pokemon Center Singapore is jam-packed with all sorts of Pokemon merch, but some fans might notice that the store is lacking a few items found in Japanese Pokemon Centers. Turns out this is due to government regulations, as those specific items contain lead. Singapore blocks any items with lead from import, even if it's trace amounts. This means any products from Pokemon Centers in Japan that use lead in manufacturing cannot be sent over and stocked. Pokemon Co. is working to substitute lead with plastic to get those items sent out.
