I think this is the silver bullet that is going to kill collecting unless Hasbro learns from it fast. I have encountered other frustrated collectors as well while on my hunts saying the same thing.

I can tell you what's making it so difficult aside from the scalpers, it's Hasbruh's $h!tty distribution. I live within 10 miles of 5 Targets, 6 Walmarts, 4 Best Buys, 10 Walgreens and I don't know how many Gamestops and yet there have been whole waves that never made it to shelves. I never saw the Space Venom wave on Pegs, I never saw Mystique or Iron Doom on shelves. I know the blame doesn't fall completely on Hasbruh's shoulders, they could still do more. I've worked my fair share of retail obs, and we always had vendor reps coming in and making sure their company's products were on the shelves, maybe it's something Hasbruh needs to consider doing

Like everything else, these will go in a box for now. I don't have room to display and I don't get any excitement about getting this before other people. But I would be crushed if I'd waiting until September and not gotten a set; in addition to the anxiety of worrying about it for the next month to month and a half.

I'm sorry if this practice ends up raising the rate. But I'm not sorry for settling my screwed up biological system.

Medication and therapy is probably cheaper in the long run. Betterhelp.com is an excellent resource
