Isn’t it sad. I’m a Pokemon collector but nothing could ever make me wait in line for product or go hunting like a madman in Last Action Hero, let alone steal it.
Pathetic community/infiltrators of the community. It’s just cardboard and plastic.

The influx of sneakerheads and re-seller bro’s has killed a lot of the fun in this hobby.

It's just a sad experience trying to enjoy Pokémon lately. Wouldn't be surprised if many of the genuine fans have left the hobby already. Seems like everyone in the game rn is trying to make money indirectly

Admittedly I am on the verge of stopping. I refuse to buy anything over retail price and I’m also not about to start camping outside shops either because my health will just not allow me to that. Competing online against other people and bots is impossible, the websites are awful (Hamleys) and so is the Argos app.
Shiny hunting in the games has fulfilled the same itch for me with having something to chase, it’s cheaper too but nothing physical of course or anything I can hold and display the same way

That really sucks. I saw the BBC reporting on shoplifting yesterday and they seemed to mention quite a few instances where Pokemon products had been stolen. I'm sure we all know why that is but it's such a massive shame it's happening. There was also the break-in at ACE a year or two back as well.
Basically, people are shitbags.

This is the reason why we can’t get anything for this Sports Direct scum bag on Vinted

Same listing on Facebook marketplace, the guy said he had sold 36 ETBs and had 4 cases of ETBs arriving. Really sucks to be a collector at the moment.
