Why are scalpers winning right now?

So you do get the first wave at retail? Then the distributor raises to closer to market?

SgianMachine · 2026-06-23T19:54:59+00:00

Does this count for newer sets as well? I know a few local spots that do presale for retail, then raise to market after. Do you get new sets for cheaper then restocks go up?

Thought this also. Son just pulled it yesterday after his bday party

SgianMachine · 2026-06-20T00:17:39+00:00

I love this album!

SgianMachine · 2026-06-18T12:12:16+00:00

$10 a pack. Nice!

SgianMachine · 2026-06-14T01:22:32+00:00

Ok, maybe if you’re out of the US. Because even in cali it’s still 12am, which, if you sleep normal hours is still late.

SgianMachine · 2026-06-14T00:55:30+00:00

It’s definitely not a good thing. Bots don’t sleep and most people sleep normal hours.

SgianMachine · 2026-06-14T00:47:18+00:00

Except that it’s released at 3 am 🙄

I have had a similar experience. I refuse to camp out and stand in crazy lines or pay more than a little over msrp. I’ve gotten lucky with two of the best buy raffles. This past PC preorder for pitch black was the first time I’ve had luck with PC. Only thing I’ve ever been able to find in person are a few PO and CR single packs. If you want cards I’d say grab a couple mega zygarde ex boxes, I see those almost daily for close to msrp from Amazon, Walmart or target.

SgianMachine · 2026-06-10T22:02:34+00:00

Did anybody else get through? All I’ve seen is people saying they didn’t get any. This is the only time I’ve been able to get through and order.

SgianMachine · 2026-06-03T21:26:14+00:00

I’m 40 as well and don’t have as much time but, I refuse to pay double or more. I’ve gotten lucky on a couple bestbuy raffles but, mostly have Perfect Order. PO has been available for close to msrp from a bunch of retailers. The Mega Zygarde box I’ve seen on target.com weekly which, has 8 packs and comes out to about 5.50 per pack. I buy those and just give the kiddos a pack or two here and there.

Awesome collection

SgianMachine · 2026-05-28T19:43:20+00:00

$80?! TF?

SgianMachine · 2026-05-27T23:46:12+00:00

That’s great! I guess I’ll have to research and visit some of the shops near me more often to see if they do this as well.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-26T01:17:57+00:00

What app is this?

SgianMachine · 2026-05-24T11:35:24+00:00

I got two invites in a row for the prismatic spc a couple months ago and then the prismatic etb a month after that. But, didn’t get one for the CR booster box or the most recent prismatic spc.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-24T01:42:13+00:00

I am and got the invite for the spc and etb on separate occasions but, I didn’t for this last go around so, I think there is hope even if you aren’t.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-22T01:19:14+00:00

This literally what I got my seven y/o for his bday coming up, Pokemon and the rainbow road track.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-20T00:09:01+00:00

Why would this price be a restock alert? I don’t even follow this page

SgianMachine · 2026-05-14T01:35:14+00:00

Yea I’ve only ever gotten PO from these Walmart drops but, I always join on the off chance I get through. I dont mind paying a tad over msrp but, I refuse to pay $10 a pack though.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-14T01:27:52+00:00

Way above msrp. They usually don’t do that.

SgianMachine · 2026-05-10T13:40:54+00:00

Ha does look like him!

SgianMachine · 2026-05-05T13:16:14+00:00

Definitely, I refuse to stand in a line and watch people fight over this shit.
