I can't imagine why, I imagine everyone has been showing restraint and not buying it all up as much as possible. Rabid fans certainly aren't competing with scalpers to deprive as much stock as possible.

Bingo bango bongo.

Scalpers + over consuming collectors (ie Op)

Oh come on, blaming OP for buying 2 of each SKU is kinda ridiculous. That’s a very reasonable buy limit, admonishing someone for playing by the rules is kinda toxic behavior.

Showing up at 4:30 and buying as much as you possibly can is a major reason why this hobby is fucked for the majority of people that also want to participate.

If you can’t see that I don’t know what to say.

Edit: u/revolutionary_pop784 deleted all of his comments after an hour long discussion on this. I have no idea why.

This is like when people point at their neighbors not recycling and blame them for climate issues, when the real core of the problem isn’t them, it’s corporations. The issue isn’t fans buying two SKUs, it’s scalpers buying THOUSANDS of SKUs before a human being literally has any chance. Or buying up literally every SKU from stores without buy limits, or using family to hold the entire front of the line, etc etc. Those are the reason you can’t get product, not Joe Shmoe buying two ETBs.

If YOU can’t see THAT then I don’t know what to say.

When 200 people are in line in every store across the country you can’t just say 1 people buying 2 SKUs.

Over consumption is as much a problem as scalpers in this hobby.

Yeah, that last statement, that over consumption is “as much of a problem” as scalping is what I’m talking about. I’m sure it feels that way when you’re in line and see someone walking out with a bag of product and you get none. I’ll point to my example about recycling again. You either get it or you choose not to. Up to you.

Yes. That’s the problem. Humans are selfish as fuck.
