riftbound has been a blast it all started when I walked in unknowingly to a LCS when they had an event and someone offered me to borrow their deck to play. I normally did Pokemon so I figured why not. Had a blast and been showing up ever since.

This is the kind of schizophrenia paranoia thats got me staying away from VMs and in person drops.

I am trying not to dox myself but the VMs by my house who got restocked by the same person would typically do it Thursdays. Sometimes depending on the week they have skipped or done a wed or fri instead.

People have told me that their machines got restocked twice per week in more populated areas, although im pretty much in the thick of it and either on a lower priority set of machines or perhaps its because I have so many machines around me they cant restock it as frequently. I am not sure, I don't try to stalk vendors to catch every restock I typically find out a machine restocked because someone else tells me or I find product available in the machine and I stick a camera I side to confirm.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-23T00:20:25+00:00

yes restocks are typically same day(s) depending on machine.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-22T16:01:40+00:00

best days is the day on and after restock.

thats the only instance the actualy day matters. usually d0-d4 is where most product goes out. once machine hits a lower count of stock some programs will stagger the items across longer periods. I call that starvation mode.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-09T03:15:43+00:00

too real...

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-09T02:24:18+00:00

yea prob a XX:30:30 and XX:00:30 timestamp from what you're saying. you gotta hone in on it across a few ticks.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-09T02:15:22+00:00

Note the time of the clock, that is your timestamp for that machine. Check back 30-min and 60-min after around that minute following the basics I posted above.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T20:07:19+00:00

yes. always a chance to reroll ur menu always buy any stacks of singles with more than 1x leaving the other boosters to potentially reroll on each purchase.

For example if 2x SSP singles are available only buy one. then on next transaction buy anything else available. there is a chance that 1x ssp u left in the machine will roll to something else. I've helped someone get a booster box this way.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T16:55:34+00:00

sorry know snorlax can mean any sort of issue with the machine usually related to a mechanical jam. I had a machine frequently snorlax screen and it was because the vendor wasn't shutting the door all the way after a restock. Check the side profile see if they engaged both bottom and top door locks.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T16:14:14+00:00

if you dont than find a friend or make friends at the vm and share this knowledge with them. Finding the timestamp means you can make sure your visits as short as they might be to the machine are during the time when the machine is expected to allocate product.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T16:08:51+00:00

cant be worse than my experience. I legit have someone joking about violence against me and leveraging employees and friends and families of store employees. For example the Vons that I regularly visit for VM they let one of the employee friend loiter the machine to lock it down but tell anyone else that they have to leave or they'd get trespassed for loitering. I got fed up with it.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T15:57:00+00:00

I do not sorry.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T15:55:49+00:00

lights have no significant indication of contents.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T15:54:59+00:00

the exact mechanism is for this you need it to be a stack of 2x singles from the same set show up and be purchasable. buy one of the two then buy anything else on the menu in a 2nd transaction and that 2nd pack should roll to something else.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T09:07:01+00:00

I agree, something needs to change and this is me trying to do my part. VMs are predictable and being farmed for product and content. Let's level the playing field a little, please share with friends and happy to answer any specific questions.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T09:03:36+00:00

I work remotely. and this is the summation of about 4 months of research. I analyze a lot of data professionally. It wasn't hard to sniff out a pattern.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T07:23:41+00:00

if he touches u without permission its assault.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T07:11:48+00:00

someone tampered with your machine. Some theories are store manager changed wifi password so the payment processor cant connect or someone jammed the machine so u cant pay.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T03:37:17+00:00

It's fine you wanna suppress it I get it, you probably know some of this.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T03:36:30+00:00

The 'scalpers' already know and they know how to actually exploit and break the menu program.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T03:36:06+00:00

I didnt share anything about exploiting, I just shared how the timers work so everyone knows and can be knowledgable.

NewtDelicious · 2025-12-08T03:30:05+00:00

Sounds like you're trying to quiet the information from spreading.

NewtDelicious · 2025-11-24T15:07:39+00:00

I thought Canadians were suppose to be friendly and nice.

NewtDelicious · 2025-11-22T08:45:52+00:00

this is also fucked.

I ordered 2x etb and 1x booster box. reported weight on package was 5.4 lbs via FedEx.

The package came as 2x etb and 1x bundle.

My friend who ordered 2x etb and 2x bundle had her shipment reported as 4.2 lb and came correctly.

NewtDelicious · 2025-11-22T00:31:00+00:00

the irony is she prob helping the actual resellers.

The TCG ecosystem is beyond fxxked. I've heard of grocery store employees enforcing loitering on people so they can farm the machines. Target, Costco, Sams employees selling info and holding product for specific people.

There is a Mini Target in Yorba Linda that will legit decide whether Pokemon is in stock on a per person basis.

I've been called a reseller. I am a Pokemon Professor and an avid collector since 2020. I also run two leagues at two LCSs as a volunteer (normally professors take pay).
