LMFAO fuck scalpers
I've been collecting the past 21+ years when i was a damn toddler, these past 5 months have been the only time (even the pandemic was not this bad) I have been unable to buy a single Pokemon TCG product at MSRP
I've literally had to "settle" for 2x-3x MSRP since scalpers (mostly former sneakerheads and crypto enthusiasts) and their bots (heavily favored towards those that have a CS/programming background) literally buy up every single Pokemon TCG product in stock before actual people can even access links or react
and this is before the TCG reaches Z-A coverage and about a year before Pokemon's 35 Anniversary and Gen 10. I'm not even sure I will even be able to secure a pre-order for a physical copy of Legends Z-A on Pokemon Center...

I wonder how easy shiny hunting will be in Z-A…been doing Masuda method and Dynamax Adventures in SwSh lately, makes me pine for the simplicity of mass outbreaks in LA and SV
All I ask is to not be chased down by Paras, Golduck, Alpha Snorlax and Alpha Garchomp. but then again X/Y did introduce Mega Garchomp :'(

these are the type of people that casual collectors in the hobby like me are up against the past 4-5 months -_-
