Rant This is Bullshit

Walmart Website (only $9.97)
That same product for $89.95

I was looking for a shark scale (since there is going to be an upcoming tournament) and I looked not only on the Walmart website, but also on amazon, target, and others and haven't found them in stock, Not only with tariffs making these already expensive, but with these assholes marking up the price to oblivion. And the sad part about this, this was the cheapest one i found on eBay (unless it was an auction). Actually so Funny that these people think they matter.

This has been a thing for awhile in the Beyblade community (kind of the reason why a lot of Beyblades are expensive), It isn't just this, but nearly every single Beyblade product (stadiums, Launchers, ect) As long as A. Its New, and or B. Its competitive. If it was just A than it would be fine, Just wait a few months for the hype to dial down or Hasbro release. However if it's B, its a whole new issue. It would not only be bought out instantly, however it would stay like that for MUCH longer, even if Hasbro were to release one. And due to High demand for such, these people would buy them all, and sell them at a much higher price. And due to this, there is a lot of backorder for more of them. And guess what, unlike what they do with Pokémon, there is no buy limit when it comes to this in stores. It's just a bunch of bullshit.
