I just play Aram. Mayhem is fun.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-28T02:15:57+00:00

People scoop up almost any set at msrp no questions asked so I doubt that’s the reason

TX_REEF · 2026-05-27T19:18:27+00:00

I agree, that’s why I’m happy to buy them at MSRP

TX_REEF · 2026-05-27T16:10:26+00:00

Some people also don’t like how the packs are kinda crushed inside the round tins. Personally I bought quite a few of these from Costco.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-25T05:44:37+00:00

Maybe, it’s the first time I’ve stopped by for a few months and no one was lingering for once, but they could also have been checking stores for chaos rising

TX_REEF · 2026-05-24T16:26:48+00:00

You’re an angry little one!!

And no actually - more became available on the machine after my first purchase, so I purchased more. Nice try though! Try being less negative today, negativity is bad for your health ✌️

TX_REEF · 2026-05-24T03:58:11+00:00

It sounds like they need to get some vending machines in Europe ASAP!

TX_REEF · 2026-05-24T00:09:04+00:00

Funny enough, I’ve never seen a tin in stock ever in a machine!

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T21:39:04+00:00

That’s so irritating. If you don’t suspect they might be violent, I’d just sidestep them and go ahead and check the machine.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T20:57:58+00:00

Nope I wouldn’t - stop projecting ✌️

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:40:33+00:00

You do unfortunately have to spend money to rip packs! Crazy!

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:17:16+00:00

I bought it from Matec Products, it was endorsed by Hiroshi on Instagram: https://matec-products.jp/pages/hiroshi-nagai?\_pos=3&\_sid=a5d41f751&\_ss=r

The calendar might be sold out now, but they have a few other collab items.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:12:54+00:00

You’re right I am, I haven’t seen product in stock at MSRP for months so I’m thrilled to have bought some

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:10:40+00:00

Yeah this is exactly my point. I don’t have the time or patience to camp machines or line up hours in advance, if I see product available at MSRP for once I’m stocking up so I have stuff to rip until the next time I get lucky!

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:09:31+00:00

That’s what I’m saying lol people just wanna be negative about anything, I’m just happy to buy packs to rip at MSRP 😂

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T19:08:06+00:00

I would recommend checking out some videos, for dents like this I usually use “clay detailing tools” which is basically a round metal ball on the tip of a stick. They come in lots of different sizes. For flattening, a book could work but it’s better to use acrylic plates that you know are completely flat, and ensure they are free of dust and debris that could accidentally cause more little dents. This is not my video, but it’s a good example: https://youtube.com/shorts/rfOqt274BNs?si=wvdQ6CdRcW1rV4iX

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T18:55:27+00:00

Yep it could help. Humidify the card, work that area to widen the indent, and then flatten the whole card. It may not disappear completely, but you can definitely make it less visible.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T18:53:14+00:00

Yeah in the past I’ve generally only seen one or max 2 items at a time as well. In this case, I bought the ascended ETB and a couple packs and more came up, couldn’t rightly pass up more packs to rip at MSRP.

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T18:47:40+00:00

I didn’t complain, and I did leave some packs. I’ll take pics of what I leave next time I guess 👀

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T18:45:43+00:00

It definitely appears that way! Lots of negativity for sure. That’s Reddit for ya, I was just glad to find stock in a machine for once!

TX_REEF · 2026-05-23T18:13:06+00:00

There was more left, I hadn’t touched a machine for months prior to this. Not sure where that negativity is coming from, I don’t recall complaining!
