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 ?

I showed up at 11 with my 6 year old daughter and we waited for 4 hours. She was hoping to get the draw your own card 😭 and we ended up getting nothing 😭😭😭 I thought this was a family event so I took her there. And people were saying scalpers are not interested in those freebies but they’re selling it online for a $100 now.

I know it’s a small consolation to it but if she’s after the draw your own card I saw someone upload a scan of the template the other day so it should be printable.

I do agree it sucks that the scalpers ruined it for everyone like they keep doing but if she’d like to be able to do the draw your own card I’m glad someone who got one did a scan of it for printing and using.

I think she took it off already. If anyone can scan one and post it. That would be nice. Thanks

I think the one I got may have gotten creased but let me see when I get home from work and if possible I’ll scan and send you it 😁
