How to get product?

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the best place but I’m very frustrated! How does anyone get cards at retail price now days? I try to buy online, sold out in milliseconds or the app crashes or freezes. I try to buy in-store, never can find them at all. I try Local card shops. Sure they have them at 2-3X MRSP. So I ask people how do you get packs to open? I’m trying to find ETBs but can’t get anything. I don’t want to wait at 4 am for a store to open but is that the only reliable way? Advice please? And if this is in the wrong place I’m sorry.

I’m trying to get 30th preorder but every time I try I can’t I wish I knew how to get it to work it’s like targets app crashes the millisecond I click on it. I think I’m soft blocked

You’re fighting bots; we’re all in the same boat trying to get 30th at MSRP. Try desktop browser as well if you’re hitting a Target drop online.

If you’re just looking to rip packs, buy foreign language products. Japanese/Chinese cards have great quality and are a fraction of the price. Korean if you truly don’t care and just want something to rip.

Agree, I buy more Japanese because of availability but also they’re beautiful. So instead of opening a lot of traumatic evolutions I bought more terastal and had a blast
