LOL, "Coming up on the next episode of Scalper Wars". Maybe, just MAYBE, this is only a trap to lure the scalpers in where they will all be then transported to a remote island where the only other thing that inhabits this island is solar powered fully charged activated Ferbies with no off switch.

Vendors prioritize the online "stores" over brick and mortar, TPCI refuses to limit to the online "stores" when it's some random shmo ripping and shipping or charging scalper prices...

WhatNot has to be called off from the hobby entirely by TPCI and only then will this end....

I've found several places with Surging Sparks but the boxes are 250$+ Even Journey together is being sold but 7$ a pack, it's ridiculous...

I'll sniff around the hobby again in a couple years, until then I'll keep on building Gundams. Pokemon is dead to the casual consumer. Thank you scalpers.

Popularity of the set should not matter, or the amount of product being...

Or how about TPCI investigates the vendors for price gauging and selling products early to WhatNot clowns that are normalizing 10$+ packs on every new set. I know, "stop buying product from them" but I understand why people do because where else are they going to get it when so much of the...

Eh, I gave up on this hobby, my 5 year old loves Pokemon but I refuse to pay scalpers.
