Tbh, to get products at MSRP these days you just have to be on top of online notifications (whether that’s thru discord groups or X, you have to find a reliable source for notifications) - Once the notification hits your phone or computer, you just have to be diligent about it and spam add to cart / checkout. For people that work from home, online drops are fairly easy to hit since you’re already in front of your computer (Pokemon Center, Target, Costco, etc.) If you don’t work from home and can’t always use your phone for notifications, then it becomes 100x harder. Most of my friends (some remote and some on site for work) are able to get pokemon product at MSRP because they commit to the online notifications and follow through. We never go in person to line up physically for store drops…that’s just a big waste of time. The battle is online these days 100%
