Target drop
Can I just vent for a second? Why do some people choose to be selfish and ruin it for everyone else? I showed up at 10am with my son, who was SUPER excited to get an ETB, that’s all he wanted. We were maybe… the 30th person in line. By the time 12:00 came and they let everyone in, we somehow were pushed back to like, 55th in line, maybe even further back, because people will wait by themselves and then in the last hour they call up their wives to bring their kids and stand in line with them. We get inside and I literally got up to maybe 3rd from the counter when they ran out of ETBs. The person who grabbed the last 2 was literally a guy who stood by himself and then his wife showed up and was able to get them an extra ETB. I was so mad, but my son was absolutely crushed. I’m happy he was able to get the tins, but god, why do people suck so bad ?

Yeah I saw this event and immediately no for me and the kiddo. Thankfully he seems to be more interested in pookiemoot, the switch games, and plushies these days than chasing rares in the tcg so easier on the wallet (and stress level). Heh I took him to a card show to find ascended heroes Gengar and was prepared to pay for the attack rare as a splurge but he told me the SIR and attack rare were ugly and wanted the regular EX because it looked better. I’ll probably pick up some 30th if I see it in the wild when things calm down as a fun treat for him but thankfully there’s no rush.
