@ClearlyHunter@LukaGarland@ri1eypaige The Johto starters being as much as the Kanto ones show you how bad people are FOMO’ing. It’s been out for a day. The original poster of this is literally suffering from severe FOMO - you can see it in their replies. If people would just take a breath, they’d be better off.
@HiddenAbility84@PokemonDealsTCG “All the non-Gen 1 starters.” $100-$110 of your estimate is just the Gen 1 starters. Don’t think you really read my post.
@OpiumJosh77@PokeTCGiveaways Addiction to the gambling. That’s it. They’ll bitch to the moon how terrible scalpers are and impossible it is to find packs, and then go spend $10+ per pack to watch someone else rip for them. But people gobble it up all day at this point.
@Dexerto I mean… it’s one video of one employee doing it that keeps circulating. Not trying to burst everyone’s bubble, but there’s no reason to think this’ll be the norm or even any more than 1 single employee doing it.
@PeakHobby This is what happens when a new era starts. Mega evolutions = legends ZA. Everything featuring new stuff is deemed mid or bad. What do you people think will happen when Gen 10 drops? It’s going to be hilarious. ME2 was also “mid” - it just had ONE card that “saved” it.
@JohnnyCrambo The back door deals and the rip n’ shippers getting pallets of product somehow… Not much of a dent will be made until that gets solved. I’m not sure why so many people enjoy paying $15 for a pack and watching some stranger open it for them but it’s way too massive of a business.
@Satheshbm@PokemonDealsTCG The Sam’s website really struggles with the traffic. Even if you click on it the second it drops, be prepared. There is no queue, so it’s just mass traffic and the website dies. I do tend to hit on Sam’s, but I have failed a few times just due to the website being obliterated.
@CollingsBridger@PokemonDealsTCG This is kind of why I hate the advertising of memberships like this… the Sam’s website dies for every Pokemon drop. I’m lucky, and I usually hit tbh. But there have been times where I haven’t because the website simply can’t handle the traffic. I try web page, app. It all dies
@NGaming88@CardGameNomad Maybe not quite so dramatic lmao. But it’s also insane to think about the current state and think it’s always this way. The amount of times this product has set on shelves for long periods at a time. LCS selling under MSRP just to move it. Abandoning box stores would be crazy.
