"@chokloconqueso @SakurasCardShop If they sourced them from elsewhere then there wouldn't be a delay with them shipping to customers though lol.

"Seeing a lot of posts surrounding MJ Holding and GT Collectibles and wanted to make a little thread digging a little deeper into whats really going on here. For some none of this information is new or surprising but there are some misconceptions about the distribution process at big box retailers right now so hopefully this will clear some things up. I will also offer my theory on what exactly is going on with GT Collectibles"

For the Eeevee pouches though I am not sure how a first-wave product labeled as sold & shipped by Target is allowed to be priced 2x MSRP online.

"Some of y'all desperately need to find a new way to enjoy collecting outside of chasing the newest release. That part of the hobby is cooked until further notice. The sooner you accept that and look towards other aspects of the TCG the hobby becomes wayyy more enjoyable"

"I am a Born Again Collector lol. Used to rip TONS of packs didn't buy singles much and hardly kept a sealed collection. Two types of people in this world: those that can afford to rip as many packs as they want forever and those that can't. Most people (like me) fall into the latter category. Before [----] you could probably get away with ripping a ton because prices for both sealed and singles was so much cheaper but it was a fundamentally different hobby then. I can't imagine ripping the amount of product I use to during this current market. Can't even find enough product at MSRP to do so and"

"@BestPokemonDeal These were up for quite some time (relative to how long things stay in stock on Pokmon Center lol). I guess a lot of resellers didn't want to buy the non-card related items that were included in the promotion and that's why there aren't a ton on the market"

"Trying to think of an angle where it would make sense to buy modern product (besides Pokmon Center ETBs) over MSRP. - PokeInvesting: Bad entry point literally eating away your gains before you even start. - Ripping: Already an uphill battle to open "your money's worth" so ripping above MSRP is just this senitment multiplied. - Flipping / Reselling: See PokeInvesting rationale. As retailers start to converge MSRP and market price resellers' profits significantly drop (i.e. remember when Blooming Waters was $45). To the people buying $40 Journey Together booster bundles or $73 Destined Rivals"

"Justifying your $73 ETB purchase with "Imagine you received $12 worth of food you actually didn't" is why we have $73 ETBs from Amazon in the first place by the way. πŸ€·πŸ»β™‚ What are we doing folks. πŸ’€ @Fuecoco__ @PokemonDealsTCG i mean is only $12 more than MSRP just think you bought this and food lol @Fuecoco__ @PokemonDealsTCG i mean is only $12 more than MSRP just think you bought this and food lol"

"On the topic of collection boxes kinda hilarious that some of the best English promo cards of recent memory come from.Shrouded Fable. My theory is that Pokmon knew Shrouded was a weaker set so they basically juiced the collection boxes with cards people would want lol.
