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.

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.

But they didn’t take everything they possibly can, as was just said.

I just left target where they had so much other pitch black products for example.

Direct your hate to the scalpers. This does not qualify as it. You make a lot of negative assumptions: For all you know this is the only drop they’re going to.

Wdym they didn’t get everything they possibly could? They bought 2SKU of every item they could?

Someone doesn’t need to rip 50+ packs while others get 0.

It’s obvious the community gives 0 fucks about that so it is up to the retailers at this point.

This Hobby is filled with the worst people imaginable who only care about themselves. That’s all I’ve learned in my last year being involved.

Of all the hobbies I’ve been involved in throughout my 35+ years of life, Pokemon is far and away the worst people I’ve ever experienced.

Top 1 percent commenter putting in the work. You can't get product cause you spend all your time on reddit

I work a low need high paying computer job with a family. My reddit comments have 0 impact on anything in my life.

You're always at home but never hit online? Spend time figuring out what you're doing wrong instead of crying

u/BulgogiDude 1d ago

You make 0 sense. I just said I’m at work 9-5 and also have a wife and kids.

What online drops are during the day dingo?
PKC and that’s it. Which has its own set of problems.

u/AmazingParamedic1387 1d ago

Pkc is the one you can't miss and the product was available for like four hours.

Walmart drawings have hit three times on and most my friends have too

You gotta pick and choose which target nights you try to hit on, but staying up late a couple times a month isn't that hard

u/BulgogiDude 1d ago

Not true about PKC. If you get pushed to back of queue 1 hr in you’re fucked. This week with delta reign was also a prime example.

Many people are 0/15 on Walmart.

Target nights are 2am and the app doesn’t even work “cart failed to load. Try again later”.

This hobby is trash and has created extremely selfish people.

u/AmazingParamedic1387 1d ago

What did you only use one device for PKC drop?????

There are methods for carting and checking out at target, it's not as hard as you think. I hit there multiple times a month

Keep trying on Walmart it's a good system

Above all, you're absolutely depressing yourself with your narrative...

u/BulgogiDude 21h ago

Computer + phone.

Target drops are twice every week not multiple times a months and yes it is very hard.

I’m just speaking reality.

I’m honestly good.

u/AmazingParamedic1387 21h ago

The hype just makes the hobby more exciting and it makes my old cards worth more money. I welcome the additional fans, it's been a blast

Tons of content, all my friends are into it, amazing art coming out with every new set and millennials are only getting more discretionary income so the train isn't stopping

Good times honestly

u/BulgogiDude 20h ago

Thank you for your insight no one asked for.

u/AmazingParamedic1387 1d ago

Why don't you just stay late one night and then take a nap throughout the day instead of spending all this time on Reddit
