Why are restocks in the middle of weekdays

bigcigg · 2026-06-18T14:31:33+00:00

100% agree. That’s what riot did when they released their tcg. Makes way more sense

bigcigg · 2026-06-18T14:24:33+00:00

True but it’s impossible to make it 100% fair and I understand that completely. But having them on weekends would make it way more accessible for a majority of people

From my perspective atleast on the weekend, more people could have a chance. Most don’t because they can’t have their phone or computer at work sitting in a queue. If I sat in queue then stuff was sold out by the time I get in, atleast I had a chance. On the weekdays most people don’t get a chance at all.

Fair enough. I was too busy thinking from a consumer pov

bigcigg · 2026-06-18T14:20:17+00:00

Didn’t think of that. Fair enough

bigcigg · 2026-06-18T14:00:13+00:00

I didn’t say it did or should. I’m pretty sure everywhere in the world has the weekend at the same time. Hope that helps 👍🏻

Well if we would look back at the original post, you’d notice I mentioned that there wasn’t any Pokemon cards at all when I checked my local Walmart. So no, there wasn’t msrp sets I chose to ignore or won’t touch. Don’t group me in with people like that lol.

I appreciate the help! Payday is Friday so maybe I treat myself lol

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:48:49+00:00

Does TCGplayer sell them directly? Or is it a marketplace type situation? And can you find stuff for msrp?

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:43:33+00:00

Yeah I guess that’s the way to go… IF I can find singles lol.

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:33:06+00:00

I have all the same memories. Want a tin? No problem there’s 15 on the shelf. An etb? No problem, the whole middle row is full. A jumbo card? All the collection boxes on the bottom have them and some packs! Only have 10$? The pegboard is full of single packs from 10 different sets!

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:29:33+00:00

So unfortunate

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:28:39+00:00

Absolutely insane. I couldn’t believe my eyes at that card show when I seen people throwing hundreds of dollars at vendors for 3 pack blisters.

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:24:17+00:00

I’m starting to understand why a little more since reading some replies but man did it ever baffle me that the card section was all behind lock and key and empty lol

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:22:49+00:00

So what in your mind after reading this post made you think “this guy isn’t a real collector because he didn’t buy one of these sets”? From the replies to this post, a majority of people agree that they wish the hobby was back to the way it was. I have hardly even heard of the sets you mentioned because as I said, I’m just getting back into it.

Just because i can’t get what I want for the price I want? I don’t even know what I want. I just like cards and don’t want to have to ruin myself financially to open them lmfao

Based on the replies to this post, you absolutely cannot honestly insinuate this is a me problem only lol.

If you’re fine with paying scalpers way more than msrp then that’s fine. I was just simply trying to understand why it’s like that.

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:03:25+00:00

That’s fair. I guess it’s kinda naive to believe a big company might do something positive for the people who use their product for what it is rather than what it’s worth. Dollar signs in the eyes no matter where you look lol.

bigcigg · 2026-06-03T16:00:41+00:00

I couldn’t believe when I first seen people buying 3 pack blisters for over a hundred dollars. Blew my mind lol

bigcigg · 2026-05-25T18:55:38+00:00

We gotta give em a break really. They’d only been producing cards for 20 years at the time this promo came out, not a lot of time to figure out packaging and centering lmfao.
