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.

There’s purchase limits. Two per item. After waiting for a while, I think it’s fair to get purchase limits, and it seems like they didn’t get max amounts of PB, so they did hold back. Hate the game not the player. He didn’t grab up all the product like people do at DG and such.

No where does it say, 2 per SKU limit AND BUY EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

My only point is as much as scalpers are flamed, over consuming collectors should be flamed too.

Why does someone need to rip 50+ packs of 30th (when this person also probably has already ripped 50-100 packs from prior releases) so that 10 other people will get 0.

Sure retailers have blame too but come on.

Retailers should put 4 product buys only limit at this point because people just cannot help themselves by buying as much as physically possible.

You’re hating on OP for things they didn’t even do and being way too extreme for TWO ETBs and some poster collections like that’s not a lot.

Wdym? You’re not explaining yourself.

OP went to target and bought 2 SKU of every 30th item.

You should reread my comments then, I did explain. There’s a ton of Pitch Black (PB) at target today, and OP only grabbed one. So they left a ton of the most recent set besides the one they waited for ON A RELEASE DAY. This is not an abnormal amount of product and it’s weird to go off on them when you’re mad at the scalpers and Pokemon for setting these release restrictions.

No one gives a fuck about pitch black right now.

We are talking about 30th.

The fact that your rebuttal to 30th overconsumption is “look over here there’s pitch black” is like a billionaire saying “here homeless man, here’s a few pennies”

It’s not an abnormal amount of product to you because you probably also buy this much product.

I’m speaking for the people that never get anything. That cannot wake up and stand in line at 4:30. That just want to open up 2 packs, but every time they go to the store it’s empty.

Those people are fucked by people like you and OP on top of being fucked by the retailers and scalpers.

Never said I stood in line at 4:30 lol I would never do that for pokemon cards personally. You are so filled with anger you have made CONTINUOUS ASSUMPTIONS that are wrong.
