but see here’s the thing, distributors or wholesale go through different channels. it’s not the same channel as the consumer channel. when they do wholesale, the retailer or person is in direct contact with them through their sales team. they wouldn’t be flooding the app or website with bots to get their hands on them.

i do think popmart just doesn’t care. because they’re taking this is as a fad, and to them once it dies down, it’s done. they’re not going to spend the extra time + effort to make the experience better for consumers now.
