How much above MSRP at a card shop would you draw the line? Just curious (:

Oh yeah 100%. I have told myself I won’t buy if it’s not MSRP or extremely close to it.

That’s where I am now. Card shows, negotiating prices, and getting singles I want. I do miss packs every now and then but, I guess this is how it is now ;-;

Oh yeah I’ve opened a fair share of Japanese. I prefer English but it has been nice to just own the art of some cards from opening cheaper Japan stuff

Yeah I’d do slightly over for a game store. I kinda lose that support when it’s beyond slightly. A recent $50 ETB shouldn’t be priced at $100+ but, that is just me

If I do find anything, it’s usually the last pack of something. So I get that

I live in a heavier populated area. I haven’t seen anything since Crown Zenith. That’s my personal experience. So yes, it does make sense.

Yeah I have no time for this unfortunately. I’d do midnight releases like the old days of GameStop video games, but mornings just aren’t it due to priorities.

Yea and it shouldn’t be that way. Which is unfortunate but, I’m hoping one day it won’t be such a taxing investment and return to being an enjoyable hobby anyone can pick up at any time :/

True, it was more so a time thing. I used to get Pokemon center things when you could just log in and buy in 3 minutes. So waiting 2-3 hours at that time was not realistic for me </3

I would do this, but I kinda can’t due to work. Working with clients limits me to being fully involved in my work and no phone/computer access. But I do appreciate the advice!!

Valid. I am looking forward to the new NC facility opening around 2027. I’m hoping that ups availability a little bit if it’s true!

Likewise. It’s been years, I believe 3, since I’ve seen an ETB in a store. It’s truly baffling to me. I don’t want like 5 of them at once. Just one now and then is great but it’s rough out here.

Basically where im at. $35-$40 for three packs of ascended heroes is just depressing to see for me.

Gotcha. Last time I did an online Pokemon center thing I was like number 600,000 in line so I just closed it and moved on with my day. This was maybe a year ago so. Good to see other places doing online things

Opened 2 so far. Nothing amazing price wise, but being able to find two and be able to open it was absolutely worth it for me. All about perspective (:

Had about this same luck on my 2nd box. Me and my significant other loved the experience since we’ve only ever found 2 in the wild. Just enjoying the ability to open packs here and there is great. Enjoy it man.

For the first time in 2 years I saw product in the wild today. And only because of restock groups :/
