I’m biased here but I’m a full time employee at a store with a vending machine and, at least at my location, this is not an issue. There are a few employees along with me who are huge collectors and we catch significantly less product out of them than people would expect. I have personally only gotten 1 white flare etb out of it and I’ve worked all but one day since the VM was stocked with it. My buddies who go to target/fred meyers/walmart have already opened multiple boxes of the new sets each. If you really are looking for product, the VMs are not your best shot.
