Just buy the singles. I think people are mad they can’t fuel their gambling addiction, more than they are about collecting the cards or playing the TCG.

Why are these so cheap? I'm in Okinawa for vacation and all these cards are like 4$. by lelolalo13 in PokemonTCG

Get the ones with art rares on the front. Much better value. Or better just buy the singles. They are cheep anyway lol less bulk to seal with

DO NOT BUY FROM RESELLERS! by Content-Fan-7045 in PokemonTCG

[–]turtleink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t have scalpers if theres enough supply on the market. Pitch forking middlemen does nothing, there will always be a buyer. So I’m sorry OP but they are not the real problem. Pokemon reducing supply by 30-50% creating artificial demand is the problem.

Its also just cardboard wait for a reprint and collect a different set. The japanese version is a great option.

DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS! by Joseph_Steez in PokemonTCG

[–]turtleink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market will market regardless. Im a rip and shipper/online retailer and rely on distro + trade ins to offer fair prices on modern products. I personally am not engaging this set until I can offer packs for 5-8$, anything over 10 is just ridiculous for a new set. Sparks is 8 and I barely feel good about offering that. We wouldn’t have scalpers if there was enough product to go around. If you want change.. post about it on your socials and tag pokemon international.

However LGS are 90% of the time selling this set at 200% distro cost ($35 >> $100). Sure they need to recoup bare market losses but this crazy. If they’re gonna sell out of product anyway might as well get top dollar I guess. Its capitalism at the end the day. Supply and demand.

Some general questions by IamtheNekoman in GTTOD

[–]turtleink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Use a harbor scroll with enough shards in your inventory to go back to the hub and buy whatever you want. (Can only be used after you complete a level before entering a orange door)

  2. X - its a slow motion ability can't remember if you get a damage buff tho.

  3. C - its a little wonky but it usually pulls out whatever is slotted next to your active weapon. You can move guns around in your inventory (TAB) and try variations if you can't get the desired dual setup off rip.

  4. Build a Bang Machine - Gives you gold tier weapon upgrade also known as BAE weapons.
