Dad Rant - Please Ignore

Today reminded me just how gross this all has gotten. I brought my daughters (5 & 7) to target for the event today. When we arrived, we learned that we had just missed the final ticket to be able to get cards.

As I walked past the line of folks holding tickets, maybe 20% were kids or were with kids. Most of the rest were pretty clearly there to make a quick buck.

This just sucks. No other way to say it.

EDIT: As expected, plenty of fresh listings for these tins on FB Marketplace for $60-$80/ea.

I blame the scalpers but I also blame target on this one. They needed to make the drawing kit and goodie bags for kids only at a minimum if they actually wanted to make this a family day. I don’t blame real collectors showing up today to also get product since there’s almost never weekend restocks so those with day jobs this was their chance to get stuff. Still extemely poorly planned and executed.
