The Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary stuff has been shown off and we now know the release schedule for the drops. Will anyone be able to get any, probably not? Brazil and maybe other countries are considering the Eggs in Pokémon GO equal to gambling, so a ban might be in place as Eggs could not be bought temporary in the Brazilian Pokémon GO store. Pokémon LEGO will be at LEGOLAND this Summer and Japan gets another set of new Poké Lids.
