I don’t see why. It was all done manually, after placing an order I opened up a new tab and went through the process again. Even stopped in between some to check the forum. My orders were spread across 5 minutes like a normal human, not gonna get mistaken for a bot. They sent me 6 orders of the box sets too, and like 20 orders to some other members here so I feel like 8 orders should be fine.

Is this real? I got 6 on my phone while going over Gas Laws on Meet with my chemistry honors class!!! Relatively giddy over here after, yesterday, watching a father/son duo direct 12 people in front of me in the Target line on what to buy for them, leaving me with nothing.

you know they set that quantity limit up for a reason right? it’s not to make it more difficult for you to cart 50 boxes, it’s to spread the boxes out to more people.

You’ll probably be fine but they absolutely will be cancelling some orders and handing out bans, hopefully to nobody here though!

Very disappointing

Hopefully this pushes mega prices to around a hundred bucks on the secondary market once this ship.

I don't think so, I personally will rip my boxes, so rare to get a hold of this product, people will keep it sealed or rip. remember this is the first year for hoops premium

With 10k that just dropped? I think they’ll go much lower than $100. Buying season has begun for us fools that were still sleeping.

Did all the other formats hit this morning? I've only gotten a notification for one ... I ask because I see the blaster showing up in their search now, but not able to ATC and I've also seen photos of checkouts for the blue megas. (EDIT: N/M, scrolled a bit and see it now. Damn!)

As usual us West Coast folks missed out unless we were up at 5am. Ironically, the one morning that I am not at that time...the product gets released!

Congrats to those who were able to ATC and purchase. The fact that actual humans/people are able to purchase is somewhat encouraging!

Love that at least Target has put in some measures to help the common man without a bot actually get some of these. I think limiting the order quantity has been the most significant change I’ve seen. Back when Mosaic basketball was out and other product I used to see the app let you select a quantity of 99 on blasters. Now limiting to 3 or 5 depending on SKU at least gives the regular dude a chance. Still got to be quick but even against bots you can get orders in manually. No matter how quick they are when you can only check out 3 at a time it’s not conducive to wiping a nice size stock out too quickly.

Thank you Target!

Today has been one of my better days retail wise. Got some of the Target Online stock and went to Wal Mart and boom two trays of Premium Stock. Hangers and Cellos. Bought it all to split with my buddy who has trouble finding this stuff and doesn't have time to look.

Personally, I don’t see any mega boxes of any NBA product dipping below $100 for a while. MSRP is $50. Almost $60 out the door with shipping and taxes if you don’t have a Red Card. I think at minimum you might see some dip to around $125. But under $100 is a pipe dream IMO.

Yeah probably not but one can dream. The quick flip game is fast and heavy these days.

Thanks! It's gotten to the point where the WM by me is my only chance for this stuff so it's really hit or miss, luckily I was at the right place at the right time!

True. It’s because flippers live flip to flip. They generally don’t have bank rolls to sit on product. It’s about the quick buck to parlay into the next flip. Which is fine. It works like compounding interest by reinvesting profits. But generally these people have to live too so they can never leverage themselves too heavily and need to get to the BEP fast and furious. There’s very few “wealthy flippers” out there. And the wealthy flippers aren’t flipping $50 Hoops mega boxes. They’re flipping real estate, cars, high end products, and such.
