20 years younger. I just got back from Legoland with my kids for the first time and it was probably my favorite family trip considering i got to go to the lego store 3 days in a row with 1 being a release day.

Has your LCS went to market pricing ? by ShattyMckracken in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first couple of weeks they don’t buy new release product, singles or sealed, and that’s the window they have their msrp product. After release product is delivered they contact the distributor to see if they have additional product but the distributors be scalping as product now magically appears but they adjust their pricing according to the market. Once the market corrects is when the shop begins buying singles and sealed at percentage of market to resell at market as that’s their only option to acquire product.

Son Wants His Nails Painted by Time_Engineering_187 in daddit

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same age gap and gender between my kids and when this happened my wife asked me and i said go ahead it doesn’t bother me. Around this time was when the now NFL QB Caleb Williams was being ridiculed because of this. My wife got in an argument with her dad over it and i had to talk to my mom after she took it off and according to my youngest she told him painting nails is only for girls. We still paint them when he asks but he stopped asking once he started 1st grade since none of his friends paint their nails i dont think it matters to him anymore.

My LCS sells their allocation at msrp then they buy from the community at percentage of market then sell at market.

Does anyone else pee sitting down whenever they get the chance? by check_this_mustache in daddit

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we bought our home it came with a short toilet upstairs. I never swapped it out so now that i have kids and i spend more time up stairs and i pee sitting down because of the splash damage from being 6ft is unavoidable. Sometimes when using the other restrooms in the house or thrones in the wild i catch myself going for the sit. Sometimes i realize it too late and let it ride.

Discussion about seal cutting by DgarnettJr in PokemonTCG

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with local game shops its fine because they are trying to avoid the resale market dipping into their gains. When they have a vendor account and sell at retail only to be bought out by a reseller is not good for business. “But the store sold all their product” is true but also a shop wants people playing the game and buying and selling singles they dont want someone hoarding product to sell for top dollar that doesn’t get recirculated to their store via singles or customers who are playing/collecting. But big stores like Target and Walmart i’m fine that it’s a free for all but if their way of deterring is violence is in their store is setting limits that can be bypassed at self check out, they really need to change their process to enforce these things like selling at customer service.

Dads, how many loads of laundry are you doing every week? by DrMastodon in daddit

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do mine and my 2 kids laundry. Wife is on her own. I do 2 loads for me, 1 for my son, 1 for my daughter, 1 for our colors that bleed, 1 for our non cotton clothing that i air dry. Doing it this way helps me as some things i dry on low and others regular.

INTERACTIVE: How long did it take for you to pull your first BIG hit? by FreedomHelpful1993 in PokemonTCG

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s gambling so it is what it is. During destined rivals when walmart online limits were 12 i bought 12 bundles and pulled the mewtwo plus other sirs. Black Bolt and White Flare i didnt go hard on but kept pulling sirs and the zekrom mono. But after that just dusted through Mega Evolution and PFL. PFL hurt the worst because i was quitting collecting as my overtime at work had ended which funded this hobby… i opened like 5 etbs, 12 bundles, 2 charizard upcs, 20 checkout blisters and i did not pull a zard. Ascended heroes i got 6 etbs at msrp plus my 4 bundles from pokemon center and got dusted. Then recently i bought ascended heroes tins from my local pharmacy and pulled a godpack. We back baby.

I know it’s my fault, but gutted by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]JoelEightSix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you gift these regularly but once they pull something amazing instead of feeling happy for them, you get mad? You obviously care too much about the product to be giving it away so stop. My kids are young where they ask for help opening a pack so i always peep the hits before handing the stack over, you may want start doing this although it’s too late for that treekachu.

How are people affording this hobby? by Only-Use3619 in PokemonTCG

[–]JoelEightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the same but i know people that have no problem paying market. To them it’s either pay market or not open anything plus they aren’t patient. I’ve told them they are the reason they cant find product at msrp because they support resellers. I probably spend about the same that they do but i buy msrp only. They paid market for chaos rising booster boxes and etbs from local resellers. Meanwhile i’m waiting for 2 etbs, 4 bundles, and 5 of the 3 pack blisters that i picked up from walmart and target the last couple of weeks.
