The new Pokemon set releases at Costco and scalpers did their thing.
retards who play the physical equivalent of a gacha deserve to be fleeced
>>57177323Pokemon set of what? cards?
>>57177381The TCG set they're all hoarding only features Gen 1 Pokemon, which are the only ones nostalgic Millennials care about and will spend their avocado toast money on.
>>57177323>>57177336>>57177391I hate nostalgiabait pandering so much it's unreal.
are reprints really worth a damn or these scalpers are being retarded?
>>57177391So faggy.
>>57177323Scalpers are such parasites man. Clearing the shelves out so fast that little kids can't even grab any.
>>57177486they are worth it as long as the scalpers sponsorize yout*bers to make screaming videos about them
>>57177486All pokemon co would need to do is do one massive reprint that would fucking destroy these scalpers.Just one time to fucking break them from this hobby and move on to whatever the fuck is next.
>>57177595I don't think they will, sadly. Nu-card game economy actually panders to scalpers since they buy up products quickly, generating massive revenueAlso seeing the insane prices on the secondary market makes your brand seem like a luxury brand and generates good publicitySchizo theory: some scalpers have organized crime connections, so fucking with them could have dire consequences
>>57178501>Schizo theory: some scalpers have organized crime connections, so fucking with them could have dire consequenceslol this is not true, at least not for card games. You can tell by just looking at literally anyone who actively scalps tcgs that they are all big fat losers who have no clue how to make money any other way.
>>57177595Just mass printing the unholy fuck out of the product is exactly what Disney did with Lorcana. That game was also getting scalped to shit when it first released and now every store is loaded with it.
>>57178558Are they fairly cheap to get? Not big into Disney but the artwork on some of them is nice. I basically only import Pokemon TCG from Japan after the English sets release so the initial FOMO wave is over.
>>57178616I don't know too much about Lorcana but every set has several cards worth over 100$ each and their meta decks (lowest rarities) can get up to several hundred dollars. So there is definitely value in the game.
its simplejust don't buy from scalpers
>>57178658Surprising since Disney Park shit gets scalped to hell and back, but maybe the idea of shiny cardboard hasn't quite caught on with that crowd yet. Might grab an Oswald and a few from Great Mouse Detective.
>>57178685>scalpers buy everything >don't buy from scalpers kek pokemon is so gay. People who genuinely like it are pushed out by fat sweaty middle aged Asians looking to make a couple hundred bucks.
>>57178711Maybe it'll bite them in the ass when Gen Alpha doesn't have any nostalgia for Pokemon because they couldn't get anything.
>>57178715Or they remember it as some sleazy YouTube altcoin-esque gambling phenomenon.
>>57178723The card side of the IP already has that reputation.
>>57178711I simple just won't buy them. I couldn't find any Surging Sparks for MSRP so I just bought Electric Breaker from the Japanese Pokemon center. It's not the same but fuck paying some dirty chink 3x MSRP for a new product.
>>57178737Japanese cards have better print quality and QC at least.
common kanto victory
mfw my local super market is loaded with surging sparks products cause nobody gives a flying fuck about pokemon in my country and especially in my city
>>57177323Reminds me of the Van Gogh incident
>>57178859if they printed in english ud get tourists by the droves raiding your stores>but they dopost store address plz
>>5717888661.254810890369434, 22.34908064578917nobody would still come here
>>57178925o fugg
>>57178859Moj.
>>57177323>>57177336Since when did mp4s work on 4chan?
>>57179319Two or so months ago.
>>57178925Kokemäki :DDDDD
>>57177323>>57177336This is a mental illness.Seriously, this people must have brainworms.
>>57179346If these guys are from Mainland China, this is just how they act. There's video of a bunch of them tearing down a mall Christmas tree decorated with present boxes becauae they thought there was stuff inside.
I thought Asians were supposed to be an orderly and honorable people. What happened?
OH MY GOD IS THAT A FIRST EDITION CHARIZAAAAAAAARD?!?!!?!?!
>>57179382That's just Japan. Maybe Taiwan.
I am self-conscious to a fault. It's hard enough for me to walk into a store and buy one box or a tin of Pokemon cards. How do these people behave like this?>>57177323I get second hand embarrassment just watching it. Honestly envy the level of not giving a fuck these people have.
>>57178715I pray that happens
>>57178953oh fug :DDD>>57179023moro>>57179335what's so funny about it
OH My HECKIN KANTOO
>>57178501>Schizo theory: some scalpers have organized crime connections, so fucking with them could have dire consequencesThat's not a theory, with that recent push to ban bots from TF2 the russian mob was getting involved to intimidate youtubers pushing for bot bans.
>>57179327huh, neat
>>57179826Didn't Valve do massive ban waves anyways?It seems like the blame really does lie on the company in question then.
