At my Aunt's and she says "oh your cousin left these here, take them"
I messaged my cousin right away and told him to come rescue these things, his Mom is a wild animal!!! ๐คฃ๐
@mr_milotic What hobby. The shelves have been empty everytime I've checked for the past couple months. I buy the odd single but damn, shits lame af ๐ญ
The state of Pokemon is so bad right now, I can't even find products for my Nephews (4-8) to rip
Last time I visited them I gave them books. They loved it and appreciated it, but they were still a little sad
Prior, everytime I visited we started the visit with a pack battle
It's just wild we couldn't do that because of how greedy adults can be, kids at these ages deserve to have fun and enjoy hobbies too.
@mr_milotic I'm sure that will be the case. Eventually the scalpers hit a set they can no longer move and the craze ends. A scalpers target audience is adults, and the nostalgia guides their wallets. Once they lose that audience they're forced to stop, cause kids can't afford their prices.
I live. Ill just likely be a fart in the wind until the hobby cools off.
I am sure it will, as debts are getting to an all time high and scalpers won't be able to move product forever; but we have yet to hit that ceiling yet.
But I don't doubt its coming. TCG hype is cyclical.
@marksplaybook Hey I appreciate you fam. Honestly I miss the community but when I have nothing to add, just poking around twitter felt like time I could spend elsewhere.
I await the day product line the shelves again :')
Hey! I am alive, just life has been busy, my Dad's health has been bad, and Pokemon cards are next to non-existent where I live. I just felt I garnished such a Pokรฉmon audience I was kind of pigeon holed in but have nothing to add as I've been ousted from the hobby just due to having no time to find product.
I'll likely be more active once the hobby chills a bit. I'm sure it will eventually.
If you have time check out Tiffy, Dendrx and Shakz event that's coming up.
I partook in the last Scavenger hunt stream and it was a lot of fun! I even won 100$ ๐
@THEPOKEPLATEAU They took ours away for a while, then they returned it, but closer to the front of the store... I wouldn't be shocked if they eventually took it away again.
Honestly, anytime I go to my Walmart its like a tornado went through the TCG section.
There is evidence of theft (ripped packs, open ETB boxes) and any hot sets are snatched up by scalpers before regular people even see them
Wouldn't be surprised if they removed the TCG section from most stores due to this. As it stands, they likely lose so much profit to theft.
Has anyone else had their Walmart remove the TCG section entirely? There have been rumors about Walmarts changing all of their TCG sales to online only, but nothing has been officially confirmed by Walmart yet. #PokemonTCG
