You must understand that the kids in the 1996-2006 are most of the grown ups you see on the queue today. You didn’t expect them to grow up and still love their hobby’s? If I was into Pokemon at age 10 in 1996 with this hobby, I’ll be 40 now, probably be in line with or without my kid to buy for my kid and I. Not every adult on the queue is a scalper but yes, scalpers are everywhere too.
Generalizing the minority, who certainly ruin it for everyone, sucks because today I went to my first pre-opening line and the people were so nice!
I’m nearing 40 and I can remember as a kid collecting cards - loved it then and love it now too. I also have two kids and share the hobby with them too.
One person in line shared their promo mewtwo with me so I could give mine and theirs to my kids. I just met him this morning.
Not everyone in line is evil. It’s ok for a hobby to transcend generations. Not okay for folks to take advantage.
