randomarceus"oh man! the new Pokemon sets are out! I'm so glad I'll be able to buy product for a reasonable price!" I say, before getting my ass promptly beat by everything being out of stock/ridiculous price markups/constant resellers/etc.
I got some of JP White Flare a bit ago, so it's not like I'm being completely devoid of items here, but this shit is ridiculous. I'm not paying x2 RRP for a booster bundle. I'm not getting an EB Games membership so that they can offer me the chance of being fast enough to get a pre-order in. I just want to open cards for a reasonable price? I want to be able to walk into a store and actually see the newest series in stock. I don't want to tooth-and-nail it out on online storefronts just hoping to find something. I shouldn't feel like this hobby is out to drive me broke when I'm barely even BUYING anything for ANY price because I can never find it.
